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…

Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We prove that for any positive integer $k$, there is a number $m$ for which the equation $\sigma(x)=m$ has exactly $k$ solutions, settling a conjecture of Sierpi\'nski from…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

Let n be a nonzero integer and a_1 < a_2 < ... <a_m positive integers such that a_i*a_j + n is a perfect square for all 1 <= i < j <= m. It is known that m <= 5 for n = 1. In this paper we prove that m <= 31 for |n| <= 400 and m < 15.476…

Inspired by a classical result of R\'enyi, we prove that every even integer $N\geq 4$ can be written as the sum of a prime and a number with at most 395 prime factors. We also show, under assumption of the generalised Riemann hypothesis,…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $F$-perfect number, which is a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{d|n,d<n}d^2=3n$. We prove that all the $F$-perfect numbers are of the form $n=F_{2k-1}F_{2k+1}$, where both $F_{2k-1}$ and…

A Friedman number is a positive integer which is the result of an expression combining all of its own digits by use of the four basic operations, exponentiation and digit concatenation. A "nice" Friedman number is a Friedman number for…

Let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be independent integers distributed uniformly on $\{1,\dots, M\}$, $M=M(n)\to\infty$ however slow. A partition $S$ of $[n]$ into $\nu$ non-empty subsets $S_1,\dots, S_{\nu}$ is called perfect, if all $\nu$ values…

It is conjectured that every integer N>454 is the sum of seven nonnegative cubes. We prove the conjecture when N is congruent to 2 mod 4. This result, together with a recent proof for 4|N, shows that the conjecture is true for all even N.

For any positive integer $n$, let $\sigma (n)$ be the sum of all positive divisors of $n.$ In this paper, it is proved that the set of positive integers $ n $ for which $ \sigma(30n+1)\geq \sigma(30n) $ has a density less than $ 0.0371813,…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, and let $A(t)$ be the natural density of the set of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\sigma(n)/n \ge t$. We give an improved asymptotic result for $\log A(t)$ as $t$ grows…

Generalizing the concept of a perfect number, Sloane's sequences of integers A083207 lists the sequence of integers $n$ with the property: the positive factors of $n$ can be partitioned into two disjoint parts so that the sums of the two…

We determine all perfect powers that can be written as the sum of at most 10 consecutive squares.

A collection $\mathcal S$ of equivalence classes of positive definite integral quadratic forms in $n$ variables is called an $n$-exceptional set if there exists a positive definite integral quadratic form which represents all equivalence…

Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…

Practical numbers are positive integers $n$ such that every positive integer less than or equal to $n$ can be written as a sum of distinct positive divisors of $n$. In this paper, we show that all positive integers can be written as a sum…

Inspired by a famous characterization of perfect graphs due to Lov\'{a}sz, we define a graph $G$ to be sum-perfect if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, $\alpha(H) + \omega(H) \geq |V(H)|$. (Here $\alpha$ and $\omega$ denote the…

Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…

Let $d_1 = 1 < d_2 < d_3 < \cdots < d_{\tau(n)} = n$ denote the increasing sequence of the divisors of a positive integer $n$. In this paper, for real or complex values of $\alpha$, we define and study some properties of two new divisor…

Based on the Goldbach conjecture and arithmetic fundamental theorem, the Goldbach conjecture was extended to more general situations, i.e., any positive integer can be written as summation of some specific prime numbers, which depends on…
