Fix a non-square integer $k\neq 0$. We show that the number of curves $E_B:y^2=x^3+kB^2$ containing an integral point, where $B$ ranges over positive integers less than $N$, is bounded by $O_k(N(\log N)^{-\frac{1}{2}+\epsilon})$. In…

In this paper, we generalize D. H. Lehmer's result to give a sufficient condition for level one cusp forms $f$ with integral Fourier coefficients such that the smallest $n$ for which the coefficients $a_n(f)=0$ must be a prime. Then we…

For every group of order at most 14 we determine the values taken by its group determinant when its variables are integers.

Let $q\ge 3$ be a non-exceptional modulus $q\ge3$, and let $a$ be a positive integer coprime with $q$. For any $\epsilon>0$, there exists $\alpha>0$ (computable), such that for all $x\ge \alpha (\log q)^2$, the interval $\left[…

The vertices of the integer hull are the integral equivalent to the well-studied basic feasible solutions of linear programs. In this paper we give new bounds on the number of non-zero components -- their support -- of these vertices…

In this paper we determine the group of rational automorphisms of binary cubic and quartic forms with integer coefficients and non-zero discriminant in terms of certain quadratic covariants of cubic and quartic forms. This allows one to…

We solve the problem of computing characteristic numbers of rational space curves with a cusp, where there may or may not be a condition on the node. The solution is given in the form of effective recursions. We give explicit formulas when…

All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…

We describe here, for the first time, a lower bound on the total number of fundamental constants required for a mathematical description of our physical universe to be complete. The answer is shown to be one. The formal arithmetized…

We consider the following $q$-analog of the basic combinatorial search problem: let $q$ be a prime power and $\GF(q)$ the finite field of $q$ elements. Let $V$ denote an $n$-dimensional vector space over $\GF(q)$ and let $\mathbf{v}$ be an…

Meher et al. [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 147 (2019)] have recently established that $L-$functions attached to certain cusp forms of half-integral weight have infinitely many zeros on the critical line. Kim [J. Numb. Th. 253 (2023)] obtained…

A set of non-negative integers is an additive basis with range $n$, if its sumset covers all consecutive integers from 0 to $n$, but not $n+1$. If the range is exactly twice the largest element of the basis, the basis is restricted.…

A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped whose all linear extents are given by integer numbers, i. e. its edges, its face diagonals, and its space diagonal are of integer lengths. None of perfect cuboids is known thus far. Their…

We prove that in a free group the length of the value of each variable in a minimal solution of a standard quadratic equation is bounded by $2s$ for orientable equation and by $12s^4$ for non-orientable equation, where $s$ is the sum of the…

In this paper, we study additively indecomposable quadratic forms over real biquadratic and simplest cubic fields. In particular, we show that over these fields, we can always find such a classical form in 2 variables, which differs from…

Many applications require multi-dimensional numerical integration, often in the form of a cubature formula. These cubature formulas are desired to be positive and exact for certain finite-dimensional function spaces (and weight functions).…

A (positive definite and integral) quadratic form is called {\it an isolation} of a quadratic form $f$ if it represents all subforms of $f$ except for $f$ itself. The minimum rank of isolations of a quadratic form $f$ is denoted, if it…

Let g be a cubic polynomial with integer coefficients and n>9 variables, and assume that the congruence g=0 modulo p^k is soluble for all prime powers p^k. We show that the equation g=0 has infinitely many integer solutions when the cubic…

The problem of constructing a perfect cuboid is related to a certain class of univariate polynomials with three integer parameters $a$, $b$, and $u$. Their irreducibility over the ring of integers under certain restrictions for $a$, $b$,…

A quantum mechanical search procedure to determine the real zeros of a polynomial is introduced. It is based on the construction of a spin observable whose eigenvalues coincide with the zeros of the polynomial. Subsequent quantum mechanical…
