A note on signs of Kloosterman sums

Kaisa Matomäki (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We prove that the sign of Kloosterman sums Kl ( 1 , 1 ; n ) changes infinitely often as n runs through the square-free numbers with at most 15 prime factors. This improves on a previous result by Sivak-Fischler who obtained 18 instead of 15. Our improvement comes from introducing an elementary inequality which gives lower and upper bounds for the dot product of two sequences whose individual distributions are known.

A note on some expansions of p-adic functions

Grzegorz Szkibiel (1992)

Acta Arithmetica

Introduction. Recently J. Rutkowski (see [3]) has defined the p-adic analogue of the Walsh system, which we shall denote by ( ϕ ) m . The system ( ϕ ) m is defined in the space C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ) of ℂₚ-valued continuous functions on ℤₚ. J. Rutkowski has also considered some questions concerning expansions of functions from C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ) with respect to ( ϕ ) m . This paper is a remark to Rutkowski’s paper. We define another system ( h ) n in C(ℤₚ,ℂₚ), investigate its properties and compare it to the system defined by Rutkowski. The system...

A note on strong pseudoconvexity

Vsevolod Ivanov (2008)

Open Mathematics

A strongly pseudoconvex function is generalized to non-smooth settings. A complete characterization of the strongly pseudoconvex radially lower semicontinuous functions is obtained.

A Note on the Men'shov-Rademacher Inequality

Witold Bednorz (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We improve the constants in the Men’shov-Rademacher inequality by showing that for n ≥ 64, E ( s u p 1 k n | i = 1 k X i | ² 0 . 11 ( 6 . 20 + l o g n ) ² for all orthogonal random variables X₁,..., Xₙ such that k = 1 n E | X k | ² = 1 .

A note on the Poincaré inequality

Alireza Ranjbar-Motlagh (2003)

Studia Mathematica

The Poincaré inequality is extended to uniformly doubling metric-measure spaces which satisfy a version of the triangle comparison property. The proof is based on a generalization of the change of variables formula.

A note on the scalar Haffian.

Heinz Neudecker (2000)

Qüestiió

In this note a uniform transparent presentation of the scalar Haffian will be given. Some well-known results will be generalized. A link will be established between the scalar Haffian and the derivative matrix as developed by Magnus and Neudecker.

A note on the three-segment problem

Martin Doležal (2009)

Mathematica Bohemica

We improve a theorem of C. L. Belna (1972) which concerns boundary behaviour of complex-valued functions in the open upper half-plane and gives a partial answer to the (still open) three-segment problem.
