Abstract

This short and simple communication is motivated by recent papers by L. Colzani and A. Kochergin. We give a brief analysis of an example by Poincaré related to sums of the type k=0t1f(kα+x) \sum_{k=0}^{t-1} f(kα+{x}) where ff is a continuous periodic function and αα is irrationaland its recent generalisations. Most of the constructions under consideration are well-known. In this note, we just wanted to bring all the results together and give a general and improved multi-dimensional formulation of a recent result by A. Kochergin, prove non-existence of a universal continuous function and discuss some of the related results in terms of Diophantine Approximation. In particular, in our opinion smoothness results involving Diophantine exponents ωω, ω^\hatω and λ^\hatλ had never been documented before.

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v2

Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

01Statements2 reported findingsCorrect

The constructions for Poincare-type and Kronecker sums, including the dense and nowhere-dense alternatives and the Diophantine exponent bound, are correct.

Theorems 1–5Correct

The prescribed behavior of the weighted Kronecker sums is achieved

Pages 1 and 8–18 · Theorems 1–5 · arXiv:2310.05003v2

The nested interval constructions keep earlier partial sums stable while new blocks force the required oscillation or localization. The discrepancy estimate in the final theorem converts the uniform exponent into the stated bound after optimizing the block length.

Theorem 1 and proof of Theorem 5Typos · no status impact

A coefficient type and one exponent sign are typos

Pages 9 and 15 · constructions for Theorems 1 and 5 · arXiv:2310.05003v2

The coefficients summing to one are positive reals, not positive integers. In Theorem 5 the subsequence supplied by the definition has lower bound ζνMν+1ω^δ\zeta_\nu\geq M_{\nu+1}^{-\widehat\omega-\delta}; the printed ω^+δ-\widehat\omega+\delta reverses the error sign. Using the correct sign and then letting δ\delta tend to zero gives the displayed final exponent.

02Proofs2 reported findingsCorrect

The nested constructions and exponent optimization are complete after the sign correction in the final subsequence bound.

Theorems 4–5Correct and complete after the stated sign repair

The smooth constructions respect the stated Diophantine thresholds

Pages 14–18 · Theorems 4–5 and Section 8 · arXiv:2310.05003v2

For Theorem 4, the Fourier blocks in (40) have the displayed decay, and estimate (43) tends to infinity exactly under d<2ω^ωd<2\widehat\omega-\omega. For Theorem 5, splitting the Fourier series at Mν+1M_{\nu+1} gives the two terms Qλ^+δζν1Q^{-\widehat\lambda+\delta}\zeta_\nu^{-1} and QMν+1nγQM_{\nu+1}^{n-\gamma}. Using the corrected subsequence bound ζνMν+1ω^δ\zeta_\nu\geq M_{\nu+1}^{-\widehat\omega-\delta} and optimizing QQ yields the threshold in (46).

Sections 6–8Correct and complete after the stated repairs

All limiting choices can be made in the announced order

Pages 8–18 · proofs of Theorems 1–5 · arXiv:2310.05003v2

At every stage only finitely many previous constraints must be preserved, so the next denominator and block can be chosen sufficiently large. The corrected exponent sign leaves an arbitrarily small loss that disappears in the final limit.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
