We present a simple proof of the well-known fact concerning the number of solutions of diagonal equations over finite fields. In a similar manner, we give an alternative proof of the recent result on generalizations of Carlitz equations. In both cases, the use of character sums is avoided by using an elementary combinatorial argument.

For a set [Formula: see text] of nonnegative integers, let [Formula: see text] denote the number of solutions to [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the Thue–Morse sequence and [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be a positive integer such that [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Previously, the first author proved that if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that the above lower bound is nearly best possible. We also get some other results.

For a set [Formula: see text] of nonnegative integers, let [Formula: see text] denote the number of solutions to [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the set of all nonnegative integers [Formula: see text] with an even number of ones in the binary representation of [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be a positive integer such that [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. In 2011, Chen proved that, if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we improve the lower bound by proving that [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe consider a second order nonlinear differential equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Using the root functions method we prove a relation between the number of zeros of some variational solutions and the number of solutions of our boundary value problem which follows into a lower bound of the number of its solutions.

AbstractGiven a finite field 𝔽p={0,…,p−1} of p elements, where p is a prime, we consider the distribution of elements in the orbits of a transformation ξ↦ψ(ξ) associated with a rational function ψ∈𝔽p(X). We use bounds of exponential sums to show that if N≥p1/2+ε for some fixed ε then no N distinct consecutive elements of such an orbit are contained in any short interval, improving the trivial lower bound N on the length of such intervals. In the case of linear fractional functions we use a different approach, based on some results of additive combinatorics due to Bourgain, that gives a nontrivial lower bound for essentially any admissible value of N.

A variety of applications depend on the number of solutions of polynomial equations over finite fields. Here the usual situation is reversed and we show how to use geometrical methods to estimate the number of solutions of a non-homogeneous symmetric equation in three variables.
