A discrete Fourier kernel and Fraenkel's tiling conjecture
In this note we present and comment three equivalent definitions of the so called uniform or Banach density of a set of positive integers.
A geometric progression of length k and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form for some positive real number a and integer r ≥ 2. For each integer k ≥ 3, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a strictly decreasing sequence of positive real numbers with a₁ = 1 such that the set contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. Moreover, is a maximal subset of (0,1] that contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. It is also proved that there is...
We examine additive properties of dense subsets of sifted sequences, and in particular prove under very general assumptions that such a sequence is an additive asymptotic basis whose order is very well controlled.
We consider the Golomb and the Kirch topologies in the set of natural numbers. Among other results, we show that while with the Kirch topology every arithmetic progression is aposyndetic, in the Golomb topology only for those arithmetic progressions with the property that every prime number that divides also divides , it follows that being connected, being Brown, being totally Brown, and being aposyndetic are all equivalent. This characterizes the arithmetic progressions which are aposyndetic...
In this paper we establish the distribution of prime numbers in a given arithmetic progression for which is squarefree.
