A diophantine problem concerning cubes

This paper deals with the problem of finding n integers such that their pairwise sums are cubes. We obtain eight integers, expressed in parametric terms, such that all the six pairwise sums of four of these integers are cubes, 9 of the 10 pairwise sums of five of these integers are cubes, 12 pairwise sums of six of these integers are cubes, 15 pairwise sums of seven of these integers are cubes and 18 pairwise sums of all the eight integers are cubes. This leads to infinitely many examples of four positive integers such that all of their six pairwise sums are cubes. Further, for any arbitrary positive integer n, we obtain a set of 2(n+1) integers, in parametric terms, such that 5n+1 of the pairwise sums of these integers are cubes. With a choice of parameters, we can obtain examples with 5n+2 of the pairwise sums being cubes.     

Inversion of the wavelet transform using Riemannian sums

We study the approximation of the inverse wavelet transform using Riemannian sums. For a large class of wavelet functions, we show that the Riemannian sums converge to the original function as the sampling density tends to infinity. When the analysis and synthesis wavelets are the same, we also give some necessary conditions for the Riemannian sums to be convergent.

Lattice points in rational ellipsoids

We combine exponential sums, character sums and Fourier coefficients of automorphic forms to improve the best known upper bound for the lattice error term associated to rational ellipsoids.     

Elliptic Apostol sums and their reciprocity laws

We introduce an elliptic analogue of the Apostol sums, which we call elliptic Apostol sums. These sums are defined by means of certain elliptic functions with a complex parameter having positive imaginary part. When , these elliptic Apostol sums represent the well-known Apostol generalized Dedekind sums. Also these elliptic Apostol sums are modular forms in the variable . We obtain a reciprocity law for these sums, which gives rise to new relations between certain modular forms (of one variable).

     

An extension of Vietoris's inequalities

We establish a best possible extension of a famous Theorem of Vietoris about the positivity of a general class of cosine sums. Our result refines and sharpens several earlier generalizations of this Theorem, and settles some open questions regarding the possibility of further improvement of it. Some new inequalities for trigonometric sums are given. We show that our results have applications within the context of positive sums of Gegenbauer polynomials and quadrature methods. We also obtain some existing estimates for the location of zeros of certain trigonometric polynomials under a weakened condition on their coefficients. 2000 Mathematics Subject ClassificationPrimary—42A05; Secondary—42A32,26D05, 26D15, 33B15, 33C45 Dedicated to Richard Askey on the occasion of his 70th birthday     

Convergence of Riemannian sums of inverse wavelet transforms

We study the approximation of the inverse wavelet transform using Riemannian sums.We show that when the Fourier transforms of wavelet functions satisfy some moderate decay condition,the Riemannian sums converge to the function to be reconstructed as the sampling density tends to infinity.We also study the convergence of the operators introduced by the Riemannian sums.Our result improves some known ones.     

On certain character sums over p ‐adic rings and their L ‐functions

In this paper we present a new method for evaluating exponential sums associated to a restricted power series in one variable modulo p^l , a power of a prime. We show that for sufficiently large l, these sums can be expressed in terms of Gauss sums. Moreover, we study the associated L ‐functions; we show that they are rational, then we determine their degrees and the weights as Weil numbers of their reciprocal roots and poles.

Values of zeta functions at negative integers, Dedekind sums and toric geometry

We study relations among special values of zeta functions, invariants of toric varieties, and generalized Dedekind sums. In particular, we use invariants arising in the Todd class of a toric variety to give a new explicit formula for the values of the zeta function of a real quadratic field at nonpositive integers. We also express these invariants in terms of the generalized Dedekind sums studied previously by several authors. The paper includes conceptual proofs of these relations and explicit computations of the various zeta values and Dedekind sums involved.

     

A note on the Cochrane sum and its hybrid mean value formula

In this paper, we use the properties of Gauss sums, primitive characters and the mean value theorems of Dirichlet L-functions to study the hybrid mean value of Cochrane sums and general Kloosterman sums, and give two sharp asymptotic formulae.     

Cluster Sets of Self-Normalized Sums

We determine the cluster sets of certain self-normalized sums of i.i.d. random variables. In the process, we obtain a refined large deviation result for sums in the domain of attraction of a stable law.

Asymptotic Properties of Sums of Upper Records

Arnold and Villaseñor (1999) raised several questions for upper records, including characterizing all limit distributions of normalized partial sums of upper records. We provide some answers in the case when the distribution from which the samples are drawn is bounded above. When the distribution is not bounded above, we give sufficient conditions on the distribution for the properly normalized partial sums to converge to a standard normal distribution. We show that our conditions are general enough so that the examples provided by Arnold and Villaseñor (1999) are covered by our results.     

Controlling Orthogonal Series with Irrational Rotations

We compute covering numbers associated to the set of partial sums of orthogonal series by means of irrational rotations. The device is a new metric inequality linking the increment's norm of partial sums to the one of ergodic averages of rotations acting on a suitable L ²-element of the torus. This allows to compute the number of balls covering the whole set of partial sums, by means of rotations.
