AbstractA set A⊆ℤ is called an asymptotic basis of ℤ if all but finitely many integers can be represented as a sum of two elements of A. Let A be an asymptotic basis of integers with prescribed representation function, then how dense A can be? In this paper, we prove that there exist a real number c>0 and an asymptotic basis A with prescribed representation function such that $A(-x,x)\geq c\sqrt {x}$ for infinitely many positive integers x.

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

Throughout, ε is any small positive number, θ any real number, n, nj, k, N some positive integers and p, pj any primes. By ‖θ‖ we mean the distance from θ to the nearest integer. Write C(ε), C(ε, k) for positive constants which may depend on the quantities indicated inside the parentheses.

For a real number [Formula: see text] and positive integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], we evaluate the sum of multiple zeta values [Formula: see text] explicitly in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The special case [Formula: see text] gives an evaluation of [Formula: see text]. An explicit evaluation of the multiple zeta-star value [Formula: see text] is also obtained, as well as some applications to evaluation of multiple zeta values with even arguments.

Let k ≧ 2 be a fixed integer, A = {a1, a2, …} (a1 < a2 < …) be an infinite sequence of positive integers, and let Rk(n) denote the number of solutions of \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$a_{i_1 } + a_{i_2 } + \cdots + a_{i_k } = n,a_{i_1 } \in \mathcal{A},...,a_{i_k } \in \mathcal{A}$$ \end{document}. Let B(A, N) denote the number of blocks formed by consecutive integers in A up to N. In [5], it was proved that if k > 2 and \documentclass{aastex} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{bm} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{pifont} \usepackage{stmaryrd} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{upgreek} \usepackage{portland,xspace} \usepackage{amsmath,amsxtra} \usepackage{bbm} \pagestyle{empty} \DeclareMathSizes{10}{9}{7}{6} \begin{document} $$\lim _{N \to \infty } \frac{{B(\mathcal{A},N)}}{{\sqrt[k]{N}}}$$ \end{document} = ∞ then |δl(Rk(n))| cannot be bounded for l ≦ k. The aim of this paper is to show that the above result is nearly best possible. We are using probabilistic methods.

For a real number t, let st be the multiplicative arithmetic function defined by [Formula: see text] for all primes p and positive integers α. We show that the range of a function s-r is dense in the interval (0, 1] whenever r ∈ (0, 1]. We then find a constant ηA ≈ 1.9011618 and show that if r > 1, then the range of the function s-r is a dense subset of the interval [Formula: see text] if and only if r ≤ ηA. We end with an open problem.

Let μ be a probability measure on the real line ℝ, x a real number and δ(x) the probability atom concentrated at x. Stam made the interesting observation that eitheror else(ii) δ(x)* μn, are mutually singular for all positive integers n.

A subset of an abelian semigroup is called an asymptotic basis for the semigroup if every element of the semigroup with at most finitely many exceptions can be represented as the sum of two distinct elements of the basis. The representation function of the basis counts the number of representations of an element of the semigroup as the sum of two distinct elements of the basis. Suppose there is given function from the semigroup into the set of nonnegative integers together with infinity such that this function has only finitely many zeros. It is proved that for a large class of countably infinite abelian semigroups, there exists a basis whose representation function is exactly equal to the given function for every element in the semigroup.

In this paper, we introduce lacunary statistical ward continuity in a 2-normed space. A function f defined on a subset E of a 2-normed space X is lacunary statistically ward continuous if it preserves lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy sequences of points in E where a sequence (xk) of points in X is lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy if limr?1 1/hr |{k?Ir : ||xk+1 - xk, z||? ?}| = 0 for every positive real number ? and z ? X, and (kr) is an increasing sequence of positive integers such that k0 = 0 and hr = kr - kr-1 ? ? as r ? ?, Ir = (kr-1, kr]. We investigate not only lacunary statistical ward continuity, but also some other kinds of continuities in 2-normed spaces.
