Invariant means on the integers

Let $A\subseteq\mathbb Z$, as usual we define the lower Beurling density $d^{-}(A)=\lim\inf_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{|A\cap[-n,n]|}{2n+1}$ and the upper Beurling density $d^+(A)=\lim\sup_{n\...

Extremal problem for 2-dimensional lattices

Given a lattice $L$ in a Banach space $(B,\|\;\|)$, one denotes by $\lambda_1(L)$ the least norm of a nonzero element in $L$, and by $\lambda_k$ the least $\lambda$ such that there is a linearly ...

Extension of Poisson Summation formula

Under the condition f continuous, integrable and: $|f(t)| + |\hat{f}(t)| \le C (1+|t|)^{-1-a}$ (with a>0) we have the twisted Poisson formula that holds (where $\chi(n)$ is a primitive Dirichlet ...

Infinite sums with Mobius Inversion : can we have uniform convergence of inversion formula?

My question is on Mobius inversion formula convergence/properties when used with infinite sums of function. Lets consider (on $\mathbb{R}^{+}$): $$S(x)= \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} f(nx)$$ We call $...

Uncertainty principle: minimize $\int_{-\infty}^\infty |t| |\widehat{f}(t)|^2 dt$ for $f$ of compact support

This is a question of uncertainty-principle type stemming from Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction? Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be even, absolutely continuous and supported in $[-\frac{...
