We study the combinatorial properties of final types, which are certain non-decreasing sequences of integers, together with the partitions naturally associated with them. As a consequence, we obtain an identity expressing the $n$-nacci…
For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…
We present an elementary method for proving enumeration formulas which are polynomials in certain parameters if others are fixed and factorize into distinct linear factors over Z. Roughly speaking the idea is to prove such formulas by…
This paper presents a symbolic computation method for automatically transforming $q$-hypergeometric identities to $q$-binomial identities. Through this method, many previously proven $q$-binomial identities, including $q$-Saalsch\"utz's…
We obtain a finite form of Jacobi's identity and present a combinatorial proof based on the structure of synchronized partitions.
In this paper, we evaluate some series via the WZ method, and confirm several previous conjectures. For example, we prove the following two identities conjectured by the second author: $$\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(28k^2 + 10k + 1)…
Certain famous combinatorial sequences, such as the Catalan numbers and the Motzkin numbers, when taken modulo a prime power, can be computed by finite automata. Many theorems about such sequences can therefore be proved using Walnut, which…
In the paper, some special linear combinations of the terms of rational cycles of generalized Collatz sequences are studied. It is proved that if the coefficients of the linear combinations satisfy some conditions then these linear…
The linearization coefficients for a set of orthogonal polynomials are given explicitly as a weighted sum of combinatorial objects. Positivity theorems of Askey and Szwarc are corollaries of these expansions.
Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…
In this paper, we prove some supercongruences via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. For instance, for any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $r$ and $\delta\in\{1,2\}$, we have \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{(p^r-1)/\delta}…
We present a computer algebra approach to proving identities on Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials by using the extended Zeilberger's algorithm given by Chen, Hou and Mu. The key idea is to use the contour integral definitions of…
We show that for any polynomial $f: \mathbb{Z}\to \mathbb{Z}$ with positive leading coefficient and irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$, if $N$ is large enough then there are two strings of consecutive positive integers $I_{1}=\{n_1-m,\ldots,…
We consider linear recurrences with polynomial coefficients of Poincar\'e type and with a unique simple dominant eigenvalue. We give an algorithm that proves or disproves positivity of solutions provided the initial conditions satisfy a…
This report introduces new series and variations of some hypergeometric type identities for fast computing of logarithms $\log\,p$ for small positive integers $p$. These series were found using Wilf Zeilberger (WZ) method and/or integer…
In this paper we prove some combinatorial identities which can be considered as generalizations and variations of remarkable Chu-Vandermonde identity. These identities are proved by using an elementary combinatorial-probabilistic approach…
We consider associative algebras with involution graded by a finite abelian group G over a field of characteristic zero. Suppose that the involution is compatible with the grading. We represent conditions permitting PI-representability of…
In the paper we provide some polynomial identities for finite-dimensional algebras. A list of well known single polynomial identities is exposed and the classification of all $2$-dimensional algebras with respect to these identities is…
In this paper, we provide combinatorial proofs for certain partition identities which arise naturally in the context of Langlands' beyond endoscopy proposal. These partition identities motivate an explicit plethysm expansion of…
In this paper, we show that every pair of large even integers satisfying certain necessary conditions can be expressed as a pair of one prime, one prime square, two prime cubes and 56 powers of 2.
