Let $\mathcal{B} = (B_1,\ldots, B_h)$ be an $h$-tuple of sets of positive integers. Let $g_{\mathcal{B} }(n)$ count the number of representations of $n$ in the form $n = b_1\cdots b_h$, where $b_i \in B_i$ for all $i \in \{1,\ldots, h\}$.…

In 1997 K. Ono and K. Soundararajan [Invent. Math. 130(1997)] proved that under the generalized Riemann hypothesis any positive odd integer greater than 2719 can be represented by the famous Ramanujan form $x^2+y^2+10z^2$, equivalently the…

We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\geq 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of…

We prove an upper bound for the number of representations of a positive integer $N$ as the sum of four $k$-th powers of integers of size at most $B$, using a new version of the Determinant method developed by Heath-Brown, along with recent…

Let $f_4(n)$ be the number of hyperquaternary representations of $n$ and $b_4(n)$ be the number of balanced quaternary representations of $n$. We show that there is no integer $k$ such that $f_4(n+k)=b_4(n)$ for all $n\ge -k$, in contrast…

In this paper, we obtain formulas for the number of representations of positive integers as sums of arbitrarily many squares (and other polygonal numbers) with a certain natural weighting. The resulting weighted sums give Fourier…

Polytope numbers for a polytope are a sequence of nonnegative integers that are defined by the facial information of a polytope. Every polygon is triangulable and a higher dimensional analogue of this fact states that every polytope is…

We show that for a large class of cubic polynomials $f$, every sufficiently large number can be written as a sum of seven positive values of $f$. As a special case, we show that every number greater than $e^{10^7}$ is a sum of seven…

In the paper we can prove that every integer can be written as the sum of two integers, one perfect square and one squarefree. We also establish the asympotic formula for the number of representations of an integer in this form. The result…

In this article we further develop methods for representing integers as a sum of three cubes. In particular, a barrier to solving the case $k=3$, which was outlined in a previous paper of the second author, is overcome. A very recent…

An integer of the form $T_x=\frac{x(x+1)}2$ for some positive integer $x$ is called a triangular number. A ternary triangular form $aT_{x}+bT_{y}+cT_{z}$ for positive integers $a,b$ and $c$ is called regular if it represents every positive…

We use sums of Liouville type to count the number of ways a positive integer can be represented by the forms $(a+c)^{1/3}x + (b+d)y$, $(a+c)x + \bigl(k(b+d) \bigr)^{1/3} y$, and $\bigl(k(a+c) \bigr)^{1/3} x + l(b+d) y$ for nonnegative…

We study decompositions of natural numbers into triangular summands. For instance, we prove that any natural number can be represented as a sum of four triangular numbers, two of them having even indices and the other two having odd…

In this paper we prove that there exist infinitely many integers which can be expressed as a sum of four cubes of polynomials with integer coefficients. We give several identities that express the integers 1 and 2 as a sum of four cubes of…

We examine the representation of numbers as the sum of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ for a general positive integer $n$. Using this information we make some comments about the density of positive integers which can be represented as the sum…

We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…

It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…

In this paper we derive an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer by the sextenary form x^2+y^2+z^2+ 7s^2+7t^2+ 7u^2. We establish the following intriguing inequalities 2b(n)>=a_7(n)>=b(n) for n not equal to…

We show conditions on $k$ such that any number $x$ in the interval $[0, k/2]$ can be represented in the form $x_1^{a_1} x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} x_4^{a_4} + \cdots + x_{k-1}^{a_{k-1}} x_k^{a_k}$, where the exponents $a_{2i-1}$ and $a_{2i}$ are…
