Let $f(x)$ be the product of several linear polynomials with integer coefficients. In this paper, we obtain the estimate: $\log {\rm lcm}(f(1), ..., f(n))\sim An$ as $n\rightarrow\infty $, where $A$ is a constant depending on $f$.

Let $l$ and $m$ be two integers with $l>m\ge 0$, and let $f(x)$ be the product of two linear polynomials with integer coefficients. In this paper, we show that $\log {\rm lcm}_{mn<i\le ln}\{f(i)\}=An+o(n)$, where $A$ is a constant depending…

We study the logarithm of the least common multiple of the sequence of integers given by $1^2+1, 2^2+1,..., n^2+1$. Using a result of Homma on the distribution of roots of quadratic polynomials modulo primes we calculate the error term for…

In this paper, we present a method for estimating the least common multiple of a large class of binary linear recurrence sequences. Let $P,Q,R_0$, and $R_1$ be fixed integers and let $\boldsymbol{R}=\left(R_n\right)_{n}$ be the recurrence…

For $ f\in\mathbb{Z}[X] $ an irreducible polynomial of degree $ n $, the Cilleruelo's conjecture states that$$\log(\mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)))\sim(n-1)M\log M$$as $ M\rightarrow+\infty $, where $ \mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)) $ is the least…

A conjecture due to Cilleruelo states that for an irreducible polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients of degree $d\geq 2$, the least common multiple $L_f(N)$ of the sequence $f(1), f(2), \dots, f(N)$ has asymptotic growth $\log L_f(N)\sim…

Let $f$ be a polynomial $f$ of degree $d\ge 2$ with integer coefficients which is irreducible over the rationals. Cilleruelo conjectured that the least common multiple of the values of the polynomial at the first $N$ integers satisfies…

Let M=M(n,q) be the average of the orders of the elements in the finite unitary group U(n,q). The asymptotic estimate log(M)=nlog(q)-log(n) +o(log n) is proved.

Recently Greg Martin derived an interesting formula for the least common multiple of {1,2,...,n}. Here, we give an exposition of a concise proof in terms of the sine function.

We study the typical behavior of the least common multiple of the elements of a random subset $A\subset \{1,\dots, n\}$. For example we prove that $\text{lcm}\{a:\ a\in A\}=2^{n(1+o(1))}$ for almost all subsets $A\subset\{1,\dots,n\}$.

We present here a method which allows to derive a nontrivial lower bounds for the least common multiple of some finite sequences of integers. We obtain efficient lower bounds (which in a way are optimal) for the arithmetic progressions and…

Let $F\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ be some polynomial of degree 2. In this paper we find the asymptotic behaviour of the least common multiple of the values of $F$ up to $N$. More precisely, we consider $\psi_F(N) =…

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

The polynomial coefficient $\binom {n,q}{k}$ is defined to be the coefficient of $x^{k}$ in the expansion of $(1+x+x^2+... +x^{q-1})^n$. In this note we give an asymptotic estimate for $\binom {n,q}{cn}$ as $n$ tends to infinity, where $c$…

Let $n$ be an even positive integer with at most three distinct prime factors and let $\ze_n$ be a primitive $n$-th root of unity. In this study, we made an attempt to find the lowest-degree $0,1$-polynomial $f(x) \in \Q[x]$ having at least…

In this article, we consider the polynomials of the form $f(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+\cdots+a_nx^n\in \mathbb{Z}[x],$ where $|a_0|=|a_1|+\dots+|a_n|$ and $|a_0|$ is a prime. We show that these polynomials have a cyclotomic factor whenever…
