We apply methods of nonstandard mathematics in order to regard analytic geometry in a very different way. For example, complex spaces are seen to be the "standard part" of certain algebraic nonstandard schemes. We construct a category of…

The \textit{ternary digits of $2^n$} are a finite sequence of 0s, 1s, and 2s. It is a natural question to ask whether the frequency of any string of 0s, 1s, and 2s in this sequence approaches the same limit for all strings of the same…

We study the set D of positive integers d for which the equation $\phi(a)-\phi(b)=d$ has infinitely many solution pairs (a,b), where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We show that the minumum of D is at most 154, exhibit a specific A so…

A repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, i.e., a number has the form $d(10^m-1)/9$ for some $m\geq 1$ and $1 \leq d \leq 9$. Let $\left(T_n\right)_{n\ge0}$ be the sequence of Tribonacci.…

We consider strictly increasing sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of integers and sequences of fractional parts $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. We show that a small additive…

Inspired by OEIS sequence A377912, which consists of the nonnegative integers in which every even digit (except possibly the last) is immediately followed by a strictly larger digit, we define even-up and odd-up words over an alphabet of…

We prove that a real number a greater than or equal to 2 is the irrationality exponent of some computable real number if and only if a is the upper limit of a computable sequence of rational numbers. Thus, there are computable real numbers…

Despite the fact that almost all real numbers are absolutely normal---that is, the digits in their expansions to any base occur in all possible configurations with the expected frequency---not one specific example of an absolutely normal…

Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…

In this paper, we consider the concept of limit, one of the basic concepts of mathematical analysis. At a point $a\in{\mathbb{R}}$, the limit of a function $f$ from $A\subset\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ is $L\in{\mathbb{R}}$ if and only if…

Light states associated with the hierarchy problem affect the Higgs LHC production and decays. We illustrate this within the MSSM and two simple extensions applying the latest bounds from LHC Higgs searches. Large deviations in the Higgs…

In this paper we will show that for every cut $ I $ of any countable nonstandard model $ \mathcal{M} $ of $ \mathrm{I}\Sigma_{1} $, each $ I $-small $ \Sigma_{1} $-elementary submodel of $ \mathcal{M}$ is of the form of the set of fixed…

A beta expansion is the analogue of the base 10 representation of a real number, where the base may be a non-integer. Although the greedy beta expansion of 1 using a non-integer base is in general infinitely long and non-repeating, it is…

In this paper, we consider the relation between $p > 1$ and critical dimension of the extremal solution of the semilinear equation $$\{\begin{array}{lllllll} \beta \Delta^{2}u-\tau \Delta u=\frac{\lambda}{(1-u)^{p}} & in\ \ B, 0<u\leq 1 &…

A recent asymptotic expansion for the positive zeros $x=j_{\nu,m}$ ($m=1,2,3,\ldots$) of the Bessel function of the first kind $J_{\nu}(x)$ is studied, where the order $\nu$ is positive. Unlike previous well-known expansions in the…

We give an upper bound for the number elliptic Carmichael numbers $n \le x$ that have recently been introduced by J. H. Silverman. We also discuss several possible ways for further improvements.

Assume that $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3,\lambda_4,\lambda_5,\lambda_6,\lambda_7$ are non-zero real numbers , $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is an irrational number. Let $\mathcal{V} $ be a well-spaced sequence, and $\delta >0$. For any given…

In this short note, we consider the Dirichlet problem associated to an even order elliptic system with antisymmetric first order potential. Given any continuous boundary data, we show that weak solutions are continuous up to boundary.

The digits of the Pierce expansion satisfy the law of large numbers. It is known that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of exceptions to the law of large numbers is 1. We provide an elementary proof of this fact by adapting Jun Wu's…

We consider implicit definability of the standard part {0,1,...} in nonstandard models of Peano arithmetic (PA), and we ask whether there is a model of PA in which the standard part is implicitly definable. In section 1, we define a certain…
