In this paper we consider the weighted q-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials which are differnt type of Carlitz's q-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. From these numbers and polynomials, we derive some interesting formulaes and identities.

Let $G=A_n$, a finite alternating group. We study the commuting graph of $G$ and establish, for all possible values of $n$ barring $13, 14, 17$ and $19$, whether or not the independence number is equal to the clique-covering number.

Many classical identities arise from nothing more mysterious than looking at the same object in two different ways. A number, a function, or a combinatorial object may admit several natural decompositions, and by disassembling it in one way…

An elementary approach is shown which derives the values of the Gauss sums over $\mathbb F_{p^r}$, $p$ odd, of a cubic character without using Davenport-Hasse's theorem. New links between Gauss sums over different field extensions are shown…

The decomposition problem of the enveloping algebra of a simple Lie algebra is reconsidered combining both the analytical and the algebraic approach, showing its relation with the internal labelling problem with respect to a nilpotent…

We give three applications of a recently-proven "Decomposition Lemma," which allows one to count preimages of certain sets of permutations under West's stack-sorting map $s$. We first enumerate the permutation class…

Let $V$ be an infinite-dimensional vector space over a field. In a previous article, we have shown that every endomorphism of $V$ splits into the sum of four square-zero ones but also into the sum of four idempotent ones. Here, we study…

We observe that the computation $5^2 = 25$ has the digital property of the result being equal to the exponent concatenated directly to the left of the base. The generalization to a Diophantine equation and inequality in number bases has…

We consider binomial and inverse binomial sums at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi$ or $\log(2)$. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as specializations of…

In this paper, we consider degenerate poly-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials associated with polylogarithmic function and p-adic invariant integral on Zp. By using umbral calculus, we derive some identities of those numbers and polynomials

We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…

We say that a set $S$ is additively decomposed into two sets $A$ and $B$ if $S = \{a+b : a\in A, \ b \in B\}$. A. S\'ark\"ozy has recently conjectured that the set $Q$ of quadratic residues modulo a prime $p$ does not have nontrivial…

The Jantzen sum formula for cyclotomic v-Schur algebras yields an identity for some q-analogues of the decomposition matrices of these algebras. We prove a similar identity for matrices of canonical bases of higher-level Fock spaces. We…

Using sequences of finite length with positive integer elements and the inversion statistic on such sequences, a collection of binomial and multinomial identities are extended to their $q$-analog form via combinatorial proofs. Using the…

Let R(n,k) denote the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} with k alternating runs. We find a grammatical description of the numbers R(n,k) and then present several convolution formulas involving the generating function for the numbers…

Around the year 2007, one of the authors, Tsai, accidentally discovered a property of the number $198$ he saw on the license plate of a car. Namely, if we take $198$ and its reversal $891$, which have prime factorizations $198 = 2\cdot…

When two boundary-parabolic representations of knot groups are given, we introduce the connected sum of these representations and show several natural properties including the unique factorization property. Furthermore, the complex volume…

The arithmetic-digital anomaly of $5\div 2 = 2.5$ has been observed several times in the past. We generalize it to an exponential Diophantine equation and inequality in the general number base, which is the object of our analysis. First, we…

We find by applying MacMahon's partition analysis that all magic labellings of the cube are of eight types, each generated by six basis elements. A combinatorial proof of this fact is given. The number of magic labellings of the cube is…
