Proof of three conjectures on congruences

This paper proves three conjectures on congruences involving central binomial coefficients or Lucas sequences.Let p be an odd prime and let a be a positive integer.It is shown that if p=1(mod 4)or a1then where(—)denotes the Jacobi symbol.This confirms a conjecture of the second author.A conjecture of Tauraso is also confirmed by showing that where the Lucas numbers Lo,L_1,L_2,...are defined by L_0=2,L_1=1 and L_n+1=L_n+L_n-l(n=1,2,3,...).The third theorem states that if p=5 then F_p~a-(p~a/5)mod p~3 can be determined in the following way:which appeared as a conjecture in a paper of Sun and Tauraso in 2010.     

Asymptotic properties for the loglog laws under positive association

Let {X _n : n ?? 1} be a strictly stationary sequence of positively associated random variables with mean zero and finite variance. Set $S_n = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {X_k }$ , $Mn = \mathop {\max }\limits_{k \leqslant n} \left| {S_k } \right|$ , n ?? 1. Suppose that $0 < \sigma ^2 = EX_1^2 + 2\sum\limits_{k = 2}^\infty {EX_1 X_k < \infty }$ . In this paper, we prove that if E|X ₁|^2+?? < for some ?? ?? (0, 1], and $\sum\limits_{j = n + 1}^\infty {Cov\left( {X_1 ,X_j } \right) = O\left( {n^{ - \alpha } } \right)}$ for some ?? > 1, then for any b > ?1/2 $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \searrow 0} \varepsilon ^{2b + 1} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^{b - 1/2} }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}} E\left\{ {M_n - \sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {2n\log \log n} } \right\}_ + = \frac{{2^{ - 1/2 - b} E\left| N \right|^{2(b + 1)} }} {{(b + 1)(2b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2(b + 1)} }}}$$ and $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\varepsilon \nearrow \infty } \varepsilon ^{ - 2(b + 1)} \sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {\frac{{(\log \log n)^b }} {{n^{3/2} \log n}}E\left\{ {\sigma \varepsilon \sqrt {\frac{{\pi ^2 n}} {{8\log \log n}}} - M_n } \right\}} _ + = \frac{{\Gamma (b + 1/2)}} {{\sqrt 2 (b + 1)}}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^\infty {\frac{{( - 1)^k }} {{(2k + 1)^{2b + 2} }}} ,$$ where x ₊ = max{x, 0}, N is a standard normal random variable, and ??(·) is a Gamma function.     

On some new identities for the Fibonomial coefficients

Let F _n be the nth Fibonacci number. The Fibonomial coefficients \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F\) are defined for n ≥ k > 0 as follows $$\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = \frac{{F_n F_{n - 1} \cdots F_{n - k + 1} }} {{F_1 F_2 \cdots F_k }},$$ with \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ 0 \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 1\) and \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ k \\ \end{array} } \right]_F = 0\) . In this paper, we shall provide several identities among Fibonomial coefficients. In particular, we prove that $$\sum\limits_{j = 0}^{4l + 1} {\operatorname{sgn} (2l - j)\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ j \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - j} = \frac{{F_{2l - 1} }} {{F_{4l + 1} }}\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {4l + 1} \\ {2l} \\ \end{array} } \right]_F F_{n - 4l - 1} ,}$$ holds for all non-negative integers n and l.     

On the normalizing multiplier of the generalized Jackson kernel

We consider the question of evaluating the normalizing multiplier $$\gamma _{n,k} = \frac{1}{\pi }\int_{ - \pi }^\pi {\left( {\frac{{sin\tfrac{{nt}}{2}}}{{sin\tfrac{t}{2}}}} \right)^{2k} dt} $$ for the generalized Jackson kernel J _n,k (t). We obtain the explicit formula $$\gamma _{n,k} = 2\sum\limits_{p = 0}^{\left[ {k - \tfrac{k}{n}} \right]} {( - 1)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {2k} \\ p \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {k(n + 1) - np - 1} \\ {k(n - 1) - np} \\ \end{array} } \right)} $$ and the representation $$\gamma _{n,k} = \sqrt {\frac{{24}}{\pi }} \cdot \frac{{(n - 1)^{2k - 1} }}{{\sqrt {2k - 1} }}\left[ {1\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{{2k - 1}} + \omega (n,k)} \right],$$ , where $$\left| {\omega (n,k)} \right| < \frac{4}{{(2k - 1)\sqrt {ln(2k - 1)} }} + \sqrt {12\pi } \cdot \frac{{k^{\tfrac{3}{2}} }}{{n - 1}}\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{n - 1}}} \right)^{2k - 2} .$$ .

О раэложении мероморфных функций специального вида на простейщие дроби

The paper is devoted to study the entire functions L(λ) with simple real zeros λ_k, k = 1, 2, ..., that admit an expansion of Krein’s type: $$\frac{1}{{\mathcal{L}(\lambda )}} = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\frac{{c_k }}{{\lambda - \lambda _k }}} ,\sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left| {c_k } \right| < \infty } .$$ We present a criterion for these expansions in terms of the sequence {L′ (λ _k )} _k=1 ^∞ . We show that this criterion is applicable to certain classes of meromorphic functions and make more precise a theorem of Sedletski? on the annihilating property in L ² systems of exponents.

On oscillatory integral Hilbert transformation with trigonometric polynomial phase

Let $ \mathcal{P}_n $ denote the set of algebraic polynomials of degree n with the real coefficients. Stein and Wpainger [1] proved that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ where C _n depends only on n. Later A. Carbery, S. Wainger and J. Wright (according to a communication obtained from I. R. Parissis), and Parissis [3] obtained the following sharp order estimate $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{p( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{P}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{ip(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \sim \ln n. $$ . Now let $ \mathcal{T}_n $ denote the set of trigonometric polynomials $$ t(x) = \frac{{a_0 }} {2} + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {(a_k coskx + b_k sinkx)} $$ with real coefficients a _k , b _k . The main result of the paper is that $$ \mathop {\sup }\limits_{t( \cdot ) \in \mathcal{T}_n } \left| {p.v.\int_\mathbb{R} {\frac{{e^{it(x)} }} {x}dx} } \right| \leqslant C_n , $$ with an effective bound on C _n . Besides, an analog of a lemma, due to I. M. Vinogradov, is established, concerning the estimate of the measure of the set, where a polynomial is small, via the coefficients of the polynomial.     

On the strong summation of Fourier series with variable exponents

В связи с известным ре зультатом Зигмунда о сильной суммируемости мы уст анавливаем, что если λn→∞, то сущес твует такая функцияf, что почти всюду $$\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left\{ {\frac{1}{n}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = n + 1}^{2n} |s_k (x) - f(x)|^{\lambda _{2n} } } \right\}^{1/\lambda _{2n} } = \infty .$$ Отсюда, в частности, вы текает, что если λn?∞, т о существует такая фун кцияf, что почти всюду $$\mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left\{ {\frac{1}{n}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^n |s_k (x) - f(x)|^{\lambda _k } } \right\}^{1/\lambda _n } = \infty .$$ Пусть, далее, ω-модуль н епрерывности и $$H^\omega = \{ f:\parallel f(x + h) - f(x)\parallel _c \leqq K_f \omega (h)\} .$$ . Мы доказываем, что есл и λ _n ?∞, то необходимым и достаточным условие м для того, чтобы для всехf∈H ^ω выполнялос ь соотношение $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \left\{ {\frac{1}{n}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = n + 1}^{2n} |s_k (x) - f(x)|^{\lambda _n } } \right\}^{1/\lambda _n } = 0(x \in [0;2\pi ])$$ является условие $$\omega \left( {\frac{1}{n}} \right) = o\left( {\frac{1}{{\log n}} + \frac{1}{{\lambda _n }}} \right).$$ Это же условие необхо димо и достаточно для того, чтобы выполнялось соотнош ение $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \frac{1}{{n + 1}}\mathop \sum \limits_{k = 0}^n |s_k (x) - f(x)|^{\lambda _k } = 0(f \in H^\omega ,x \in [0;2\pi ]).$$      

Subspace Arrangements of Type B n and D n

Let ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ be the family of linear subspaces of ?ⁿ given by all equations of the form $\varepsilon _1 x_{i_1 } = \varepsilon _2 x_{i_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot \varepsilon _k x_{i_k } ,$ for 1 ≤ < ? ? ? < i _k ≤ i and $\left( {\varepsilon _1 ,...,\varepsilon _k } \right)\varepsilon \left\{ { + 1, - 1} \right\}^k $ Also let ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h} $ be ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,k} $ enlarged by the subspaces $x_{j_1 } = x_{j_2 } = \cdot \cdot \cdot x_{j_h } = 0,$ for 1 ≤. The special cases ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,2,1} $ and ${\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} $ are well known as the reflection hyperplane arrangements corresponding to the Coxeter groups of type B _nand D _n respectively. In this paper we study combinatorial and topological properties of the intersection lattices of these subspace arrangements. Expressions for their Möbius functions and characteristic polynomials are derived. Lexicographic shellability is established in the case of ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} 1 \leqslant h < k$ , which allows computation of the homology of its intersection lattice and the cohomology groups of the manifold $\begin{gathered} {\mathcal{D}}_{n,2} \\ M_{n,k,h,} = {\mathbb{R}}^n \backslash \bigcup {{\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h,} } \\ \end{gathered} $ . For instance, it is shown that $H^d \left( {M_{n,k,k - 1} } \right)$ is torsion-free and is nonzero if and only if d = t(k ? 2) for some $t,0 \leqslant t \leqslant \left[ {{n \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {n k}} \right. \kern-0em} k}} \right]$ . Torsion-free cohomology follows also for the complement in ?ⁿof the complexification ${\mathcal{B}}_{n,k,h}^C ,1 \leqslant h < k$ .     

On a result of Hardy and Littlewood concerning Fourier series

Let f ∈ L ¹( $ \mathbb{T} $ ) and assume that $$ f\left( t \right) \sim \frac{{a_0 }} {2} + \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\left( {a_k \cos kt + b_k \sin kt} \right)} $$ Hardy and Littlewood [1] proved that the series $ \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {\frac{{a_k }} {k}} $ converges if and only if the improper Riemann integral $$ \mathop {\lim }\limits_{\delta \to 0^ + } \int_\delta ^\pi {\frac{1} {x}} \left\{ {\int_{ - x}^x {f(t)dt} } \right\}dx $$ exists. In this paper we prove a refinement of this result.

Markov-Bernstein type inequalities for constrained polynomials with real versus complex coefficients

LetP _n,k ^c denote the set of all polynomials of degree at mostn withcomplex coefficients and with at mostk(0≤k≤n) zeros in the open unit disk. Let denote the set denote the set of all polynomials of degree at mostn withreal coefficients and with at mostk(0≤k≤n) zeros in the open unit disk. Associated with0≤k≤n andx∈[?1, 1], let $B_{n,k,x}^* : = \max \{ \sqrt {\frac{{n(k + 1)}}{{1 - x^2 }}} ,n\log (\frac{e}{{1 - x^2 }}\} ,B_{n,k,x}^* : = \sqrt {\frac{{n(k + 1)}}{{1 - x^2 }}} ,$ , andM _n,k ^* ?max{n(k+1),nlogn},M _n,k ?n(k+1). It is shown that $M_{n,k}^* : = \max \{ n(k + 1),n\log n\} ,M_{n,k}^* :n(k + 1)$ for everyx∈[?1, 1], wherec ₁>0 andc ₂>0 are absolute constants. Here ‖·‖_[?1,1] denotes the supremum norm on [?1,1]. This result should be compared with the inequalities $c3\min \{ B_{n,k,x,} B_{n,,k,} \} \leqslant _{p \in P_{n,k} }^{\sup } \frac{{|p'(x)|}}{{||p||[1,1]}} \leqslant \{ B_{n,k,x,} B_{n,,k,} \} ,$ , for everyx∈[?1,1], wherec ₃>0 andc ₄>0 are absolute constants. The upper bound of this second result is also fairly recent; and it may be surprising that there is a significant difference between the real and complex cases as far as Markov-Bernstein type inequalities are concerned. The lower bound of the second result is proved in this paper. It is the final piece in a long series of papers on this topic by a number of authors starting with Erdös in 1940.

Asymptotic expansions of solutions of equations with a deviating argument in Banach spaces

For the equation $$Lu = \frac{1}{i}\frac{{du}}{{dt}}\sum\nolimits_{j = 0}^m {A_j u} (l - h_j^0 - h_j^1 (t)) = f(t),$$ whereh ₀ ^o =0,h ₀ ¹ =0 (t) ≡ 0,h _j ^o = const > 0,h ₁ ^j (t),j= 1, ...,m are nonnegative continuously differentiable functions in [0, ∞), Aj are bounded linear operators, under conditions on the resolvent and on the right hand sidef(t), we have obtained an asymptotic formula for any solution u(t) from L₂ in terms of the exponential solutions u_k(t), k=1, ..., n, of the equation $$\frac{1}{i}\frac{{du}}{{dt}} - A_0 u - \sum\nolimits_{j = 0}^m {A_j u} (t - h_j^0 ) = 0,$$ connected with the poles λ_k, k=1, ..., n, of the resolvent R_λ in a certain strip.     

Congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients

For integers b and c the generalized central trinomial coefficient Tn(b,c)denotes the coefficient of xnin the expansion of(x2+bx+c)n.Those Tn=Tn(1,1)(n=0,1,2,...)are the usual central trinomial coefficients,and Tn(3,2)coincides with the Delannoy number Dn=n k=0n k n+k k in combinatorics.We investigate congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients systematically.Here are some typical results:For each n=1,2,3,...,we have n-1k=0(2k+1)Tk(b,c)2(b2-4c)n-1-k≡0(mod n2)and in particular n2|n-1k=0(2k+1)D2k;if p is an odd prime then p-1k=0T2k≡-1p(mod p)and p-1k=0D2k≡2p(mod p),where(-)denotes the Legendre symbol.We also raise several conjectures some of which involve parameters in the representations of primes by certain binary quadratic forms.     

Infinitely many solutions for an elliptic problem involving critical Sobolev growth and Hardy potential

In this paper, we will prove the existence of infinitely many solutions for the following elliptic problem with critical Sobolev growth and a Hardy potential: $$-\Delta u-\frac{\mu}{|x|^2}u = |u|^{2^{\ast}-2}u+a u\quad {\rm in}\;\Omega,\quad u=0 \quad {\rm on}\; \partial\Omega,\qquad (*)$$ under the assumptions that N ≥ 7, ${\mu\in \left[0,\frac{(N-2)^2}4-4\right)}$ and a > 0, where ${2^{\ast}=\frac{2N}{N-2}}$ , and Ω is an open bounded domain in ${\mathbb{R}^N}$ which contains the origin. To achieve this goal, we consider the following perturbed problem of (*), which is of subcritical growth, $$-\Delta u-\frac{\mu}{|x|^2}u = |u|^{2^{\ast}-2-\varepsilon_n}u+au \quad {\rm in}\,\Omega, \quad u=0 \quad {\rm on}\;\partial\Omega,\qquad(\ast\ast)_n$$ where ${\varepsilon_{n} > 0}$ is small and ${\varepsilon_n \to 0}$ as n → + ∞. By the critical point theory for the even functionals, for each fixed ${\varepsilon_{n} > 0}$ small, (**) _n has a sequence of solutions ${u_{k,\varepsilon_{n}} \in H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)}$ . We obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions for (*) by showing that as n → ∞, ${u_{k,\varepsilon_{n}}}$ converges strongly in ${H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)}$ to u _k , which must be a solution of (*). Such a convergence is obtained by applying a local Pohozaev identity to exclude the possibility of the concentration of ${\{u_{k,\varepsilon_n}\}}$ .     

Regularized sums of half-integer powers of a Sturm-Liouville operator

We investigate the question of the regularized sums of part of the eigenvalues z_n (lying along a direction) of a Sturm-Liouville operator. The first regularized sum is $$\sum\nolimits_{n = 1}^\infty {(z_n - n - \frac{{c_1 }}{n} + \frac{2}{\pi } \cdot z_n arctg \frac{1}{{z_n }} - \frac{2}{\pi }) = \frac{{B_2 }}{2} - c_1 \cdot \gamma + \int_1^\infty {\left[ {R(z) - \frac{{l_0 }}{{\sqrt z }} - \frac{{l_1 }}{z} - \frac{{l_2 }}{{z\sqrt z }}} \right]} } \sqrt z dz,$$ where the z_n are eigenvalues lying along the positive semi-axis, z _n ² =λ_n, $$l_0 = \frac{\pi }{2}, l_1 = - \frac{1}{2}, l_2 = - \frac{1}{4}\int_0^\pi {q(x) dx,} c_1 = - \frac{2}{\pi }l_2 ,$$ , B₂ is a Bernoulli number, γ is Euler's constant, and \(R(z)\) is the trace of the resolvent of a Sturm-Liouville operator.
