We derive a generating function for the number of integer compositions of $n$ into $k$ parts (i.e., $k$-compositions of $n$) with a given number of inversions, and obtain similar results for $k$-compositions of $n$ with a given number of…
In this paper, we introduce a Clifford algebra framework for Julia-type dynamics driven by the geometric product. The nonlinear iteration \[ f(\vec{x}) = (\vec{x}\diamond \vec{n})^p \diamond \vec{n} + \vec{c}, \qquad p \ge 2, \] is studied…
We formulate a Maxwell version of the codimension-three Riesz/Gaussian quadratic-form representation for perfectly conducting parallel plates. This paper is the Maxwell follow-up to the scalar codimension-three Riesz/Gaussian representation…
On the n x n chessboard, the move totals of distinct pieces satisfy a small number of striking arithmetic identities. The total diagonal mobility of the bishop and the total 8-neighbor mobility of the king are exactly proportional, with…
This paper continues the author's previous work on a limit-free algebraic-geometric construction of the derivative in the class of polynomial functions and extends the proposed framework to elementary functions. Derivatives of rational…
We study a translation-invariant mean-field game on the flat torus with interaction $F(x,m)=\gamma (K*m)(x)$, where $K$ is smooth, even, and mean-zero. The interaction is of potential type, arising as the first variation of a quadratic…
This paper develops a unified framework for zero-sum games in which both the pure strategies and the payoff matrices contain complex-valued entries. By leveraging a linear isomorphism between complex and real vector spaces, we extend key…
Soft set theory is an important and emerging area within soft computing, owing to its attribute-oriented mathematical framework and its wide applicability in diverse domains, including science and social sciences. The theoretical…
This paper proposes an algebraic framework for analyzing event execution intervals and sequences, introducing "Optional Intervals Event (OIE)" as a 4-tuple abstraction (C, F, I, A) that serves as a pre-execution planning tool for real-world…
In this paper, we explore the relationship between repdigits and associated Pell numbers, specifically focusing on two main aspects: expressing repdigits as the difference of two associated Pell numbers, and identifying which associated…
Owing to the importance of project cash flow, which comprises an entire history of all cash inflows and cash outflows, to economic survival of firms, it is vital to coping with project scheduling issues considering resource constraints in…
On the set of positive integers, we consider the iterative process that maps $n$ to either $\frac{3n+1}{2}$ or $\frac{n}{2}$ depending on the parity of $n$. The Collatz conjecture states that all such sequences eventually enter the trivial…
In this paper, we investigate fractional B splines and their connections with Fourier analysis, and establish connections with generalized Stirling-type numbers and distribution theory. Employing a generating function approach inspired by…
We use cubic reciprocity to prove that the equation $7x^3+2y^3=3z^2+1$ has no integer solutions. Prior to this work, it was the shortest cubic equation for which the existence of integer solutions remained open. We conclude with a list of…
Traditional graph analysis focuses on nodes and edges, that is, pairwise relationships. Yet many real-world networks, including biological, social, and communication networks, involve higher-order relationships in which multiple nodes…
Omar Khayyam's treatment of cubic equations by intersections of conic sections has often been read as an anticipation of analytic or coordinate geometry. This paper argues that such a reading obscures the conceptual structure of Khayyam's…
Recently, Stull [18], [17] resolved a long-standing open problem posed by Lutz, on whether the set of effective Hausdorff dimensions of points on a straight line in $\mathbb{R}^2$ -- the effective dimension spectrum of the line -- contains…
In this paper, we present a fixed point method for the arctangent based on sine and cosine. Let $t\in \mathbb{R}^{+}$ and $P\in \mathbb{N}$. We define: \[T\left(x\right)=x-\sum_{k=1}^{P}\,\frac{\left(-1\right)^{k-1}}{2\,k-1} \left(\frac…
We produce formulas for $$\sum_{j=1}^{2^{n-2}}\frac{1}{\sin^s\left(\frac{(2j-1)\pi}{2^n}\right)}$$ in terms of Generalized Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and use one of the formulas to produce a nice integral representation of the Riemann…
The standard interpretation of first-order number theory (PA), according to the generally accepted view, associates well-defined set-theoretic entities with each and every well-formed formula of this system. But this implies that the class…
