Every calculus student learns Cavalieri's quadrature formula for the antiderivative of x^n (integer n). We observe here that the logarithmic (n=-1) case implies all the others.

It is known that difference equations generated as the Newton-Raphson iteration for quadratic equations are solvable in closed form, and the solution can be constructed from linear three-term recurrence relations with constant coefficients.…

In this paper, we find formulas for the number of representations of certain diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1,2,3,4$ and $6$. We obtain these formulas by constructing explicit bases of the space of modular forms of…

The purpose of this effort is to investigate if the use of quaternion mathematics can be used to better model and simulate the electromagnetic fields that occur from moving electromagnetic charges. One observed deficiency with the commonly…

Within the framework of the theory of quaternion column-row determinants and using determinantal representations of the Moore-Penrose inverse previously obtained by the author, we get explicit determinantal representation formulas of…

The classical quadratic formula and some of its lesser known variants for solving the quadratic equation are reviewed. Then, a new formula for the roots of a quadratic polynomial is presented.

Quaternion analysis is considered in full details where a new analyticity condition in complete analogy to complex analysis is found. The extension to octonions is also worked out.

A method of constructing specific polynomial representations $f(x)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of the square roots function modulo a prime $p = 2^kn + 1$, $n$ odd, is presented. The formulas for the cases $k = 2$, $3$ and $4$ are…

In this paper, we provide a new method to find all zeros of polynomials with quaternionic coefficients located on only one side of the powers of the variable (these polynomials are called simple polynomials). This method is much more…

Let A be a modular abelian variety over \Q of arbitrary even dimension. We establish criteria to prevent a given quaternion algebra over a totally real number field to be the endomorphism algebra of A over \bar\Q. We accomplish this by…

For each odd prime power q, and each integer k, we determine the sum of the k-th powers of all elements x in F_q for which both x and x+1 are squares in F_q^*. We also solve the analogous problem when one or both of x and x+1 is a…

We show that, generically, finding the $k$-th root of a braid is very fast. More precisely, we provide an algorithm which, given a braid $x$ on $n$ strands and canonical length $l$, and an integer $k>1$, computes a $k$-th root of $x$, if it…

In the classical theory, a famous by-product of the continued fraction expansion of quadratic irrational numbers $\sqrt{D}$ is the solution to Pell's equation for $D$. It is well-known that, once an integer solution to Pell's equation…

Some idea, which leads to a non-trivial solution of the quantum four-simplex equation, is exposed in this paper. We call this idea "pentagonal algebra". Few examples of the realisation of this idea are given here, and thus few examples of…

The use of complexified quaternions and $i$-complex geometry in formulating the Dirac equation allows us to give interesting geometric interpretations hidden in the conventional matrix-based approach.

We consider the convolution equation $F*X=B$, where $F\in\mathbb{R}^{3\times 3}$ and $B\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ are given, and $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ is to be determined. The convolution equation can be regarded as a linear system…

In this paper I explore the set of quaternion algebras over field. Quaternion algebra E(C,-1,-1) is isomorphic to tensor product of complex field C and quaternion algebra H=E(R,-1,-1). Considered two sets of quaternion functions, which…

We propose an algorithm for finding zero divisors in quaternion algebras over quadratic number fields, or equivalently, solving homogeneous quadratic equations in three variables over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ where $d$ is a square-free…

Cramer's rules for some left, right and two-sided quaternion matrix equations are obtained within the framework of the theory of the column and row determinants.

We study differential splitting fields of quaternion algebras with derivations. A quaternion algebra over a field $k$ is always split by a quadratic extension of $k$. However, a differential quaternion algebra need not be split over any…
