Several new estimates for the 2-adic valuations of Stirling numbers of the second kind are proved. These estimates, together with criteria for when they are sharp, lead to improvements in several known theorems and their proofs, as well as…
We give formulas for the number of representations of non negative integers by various quadratic forms. We also give evaluations in the case of sum of two cubes (cubic case) and the quintic case, as well. We introduce a class of generalized…
We evaluate binomial series with harmonic number coefficients, providing recursion relations, integral representations, and several examples. The results are of interest to analytic number theory, the analysis of algorithms, and…
This will is an expository description of quadratic rational maps. Sections 2 through 6 are concerned with the geometry and topology of such maps. Sections 7--10 survey of some topics from the dynamics of quadratic rational maps. There are…
Our purpose is to study the cohomological properties of the Rees algebras of a class of ideals generated by quadrics. For all such ideals $I\subset R = K[x,y,z]$ we give the precise value of depth $R[It]$ and decide whether the…
The Collatz process is defined on natural numbers by iterating the map $T(x) = T_0(x) = x/2$ when $x\in\mathbb{N}$ is even and $T(x)=T_1(x) =(3x+1)/2$ when $x$ is odd. In an effort to understand its dynamics, and since Generalised Collatz…
This paper investigates the p-adic valuation trees of degree-2 and degree-3 polynomials in two variables over any prime p, building upon prior research outlined in [14].
A sequence of coefficients that appeared in the evaluation of a rational integral has been shown to be unimodal. An alternative proof is presented.
We discuss the relationship between quaternion algebras and quadratic forms with a focus on computational aspects. Our basic motivating problem is to determine if a given algebra of rank 4 over a commutative ring R embeds in the 2x2-matrix…
This article is written with the hope to draw attention to a method that uses integral transforms to find exact values for a large class of convergent series (and, in particular, series of rational terms). We apply the method to some series…
This paper studies certain trajectories of the Collatz function. I show that if for each odd number $n$, $n\sim 3n+2$ then every positive integer $n \in \mathbb{N}\setminus 2^{\mathbb{N}}$ has the representation…
We provide additional methods for the evaluation of the integral \begin{eqnarray} N_{0,4}(a;m) & := & \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{dx} {\left( x^{4} + 2ax^{2} + 1 \right)^{m+1}} \end{eqnarray} where $m \in {\mathbb{N}}$ and $a \in (-1, \infty)$…
A set of integral relations for rotational and translational zero modes in the vicinity of the classical soliton solution are derived from the particle-like properties of the latter. The validity of these all relations is considered for a…
Quadratic algebras are generalizations of Lie algebras; they include the symmetry algebras of 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions as special cases. The superintegrable systems are exactly solvable physical systems in classical…
This work concerns the study of properties of a group of Koszul algebras coming from the toric ideals of a chordal bipartite infinite family of graphs (alternately, these rings may be interpreted as coming from determinants of certain…
We derive the recurrence relations for relativistic Coulomb integrals directly from the integral representations with the help of computer algebra methods. In order to manage the computational complexity of this problem, we employ holonomic…
We study properties of coefficients of a linear form, originating from a multiple integral. As a corollary, we prove Vasilyev's conjecture, connected with the problem of irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers.
We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…
In this paper, a new criterion is given to determine the $p-$rationality of some complex cubic number fields in terms of $ p-$divisibility of certain terms of a third-order recurrence sequence, several illustrated examples are…
In this paper, we consider operator realizations of quadratic algebras generated by second-order superintegrable systems in 2D. At least one such realization is given for each set of St\"ackel equivalent systems for both degenerate and…
