We prove complete monotonicity of sums of squares of generalized Baskakov basis functions by deriving the corresponding results for hypergeometric functions. Moreover, in the central Baskakov case we study the distribution of the complex…
We prove a general inequality for more than two sequences mirroring that of the discrete two-sequence Cauchy-Schwarz.
In a paper published by this author in www.academia.edu(see reference[3]), it was established that there exist no three positive integers which are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression; and whose sum of squares is a perfect or…
We extend the Siegel-Walfisz theorem to a family of integer sequences that are characterized by constraints on the size of the prime factors. Besides prime powers, this family includes smooth numbers, almost primes and practical numbers.
The classical Stern sequence of positive integers was extended to a polynomial sequence $S_n(\lambda)$ by Klav\v{z}ar et. al. by defining $S_0(\lambda) = 0$, $S_1(\lambda) = 1$, and $$S_{2n}(\lambda) = \lambda S_n(\lambda),\quad…
In 2021, Guyer and Mbirika gave two equivalent formulas that computed the greatest common divisor (GCD) of all sums of $k$ consecutive terms in the generalized Fibonacci sequence $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ given by the recurrence $G_n =…
One of the most important and useful examples in discrete geometry is a finite sequence of points on the moment curve $\gamma(t)=(t,t^2,t^3,\dots ,t^d)$ or, more generally, on a {\it strictly monotone curve} in $\mathbb R^d$. These…
Error: Peer-review process exposed an error in Theorem 1 that, unfourtunately, is not repairable. Idempotent semigroups are always finite. See Green and Rees [1952], Siekmann and Szab\'o [1981] for details Anti-unification is a fundamental…
A sequence $S=s_{1}s_{2}..._{n}$ is \emph{nonrepetitive} if no two adjacent blocks of $S$ are identical. In 1906 Thue proved that there exist arbitrarily long nonrepetitive sequences over 3-element set of symbols. We study a generalization…
We introduce the generic Lah polynomials $L_{n,k}(\phi)$, which enumerate unordered forests of increasing ordered trees with a weight $\phi_i$ for each vertex with $i$ children. We show that, if the weight sequence $\phi$ is…
We derive a general recurrence relation for squares of Fibonacci-like numbers. Various properties are developed, including double binomial summation identites.
We consider generalized quadratic forms over real quadratic number fields and prove, under a natural positive-definiteness condition, that a generalized quadratic form can only be universal if it contains a quadratic subform that is…
We survey the potential for progress in additive number theory arising from recent advances concerning major arc bounds associated with mean value estimates for smooth Weyl sums. We focus attention on the problem of representing large…
We prove joint universality theorems on the half plane of absolute convergence for general classes of Dirichlet series with an Euler-product, where in addition to vertical shifts we also allow scaling. This generalizes our recent joint…
In the present work a new simple proof of the theorem of Gallagher about the average of the singular series in the Hardy-Littlewood prime k-tuple conjecture is proved (in an even stronger form) which is uniform with respect to k (if the…
For any given non-square integer $ D\equiv 0,1 \pmod{4} $, we prove Euclid's type inequalities for the sequence $ \{q_{i}\} $ of all primes satisfying the Kronecker symbol $ (D/q_{i})=-1 $, $ i=1,2,\cdots, $ and give a new criterion on a…
We consider the one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation $$ iu_t + u_{xx} + \mathcal{N}(u)u=0, \quad x,t \in \mathbb R, $$ with the nonlinearity term that is expressed as a sum of powers, possibly infinite: $$ \mathcal{N}(u) = \sum…
I. P. Goulden, S. Litsyn, and V. Shevelev [On a sequence arising in algebraic geometry, J. Integer Sequences 8 (2005), 05.4.7] conjectured that certain Laurent polynomials associated with the solution of a functional equation have only odd…
We introduce a general result relating "short averages" of a multiplicative function to "long averages" which are well understood. This result has several consequences. First, for the M\"obius function we show that there are cancellations…
In this paper we present some new results about unlike powers in arithmetic progression. We prove among other things that for given $k\geq 4$ and $L\geq 3$ there are only finitely many arithmetic progressions of the form…
