Here we prove some conjectures on the monotony of combinatorial sequences from the recent preprint of Zhi--Wei Sun.
Recently, Z.-W. Sun introduced two kinds of polynomials related to the Delannoy numbers, and proved some supercongruences on sums involving those polynomials. We deduce new summation formulas for squares of those polynomials and use them to…
We prove Simon's conjecture for 3-manifolds.
We confirm Sun's conjecture that $(\root{n+1}\of{F_{n+1}}/\root{n}\of{F_n})_{n\ge 4}$ is strictly decreasing to the limit 1, where $(F_n)_{n\ge0}$ is the Fibonacci sequence. We also prove that the sequence…
We survey recent developments on the Restriction conjecture.
In this paper, we prove two supercongruences conjectured by Z.-W. Sun via the Wilf-Zeilberger method. One of them is, for any prime $p>3$, \begin{align*} \sum_{n=0}^{p-1}\frac{6n+1}{256^n}\binom{2n}n^3&\equiv…
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
In this paper, we prove a few lemmas concerning Fibonacci numbers modulo primes and provide a few statements that are equivalent to Wall-Sun-Sun Prime Conjecture. Further, we investigate the conjecture through heuristic arguments and…
A conjecture regarding the structure of expander graphs is discussed.
Given a positive integer $n\ge 2$, let $D(n)$ denote the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $a^3+a(1\le a\le n)$ are pairwise distinct modulo $m^2$. A conjecture of Z.-W. Sun states that $D(n)=3^k$, where $3^k$ is the least power of…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
We prove some 3-adic congruences for binomial sums, which were conjectured by Sun.
In this paper, we develop an elementary proof of the change of variables in multiple integrals. Our proof is based on an induction argument. Assuming the formula for (m-1)-integrals, we define the integral over hypersurface in Rm, establish…
A number of the form $x(x+1)/2$ where $x$ is an integer is called a triangular number. Suppose, $N(a_1,\cdots,a_k;n)$ and $T(a_1,\cdots,a_k;n)$ denote the number of ways $n$ can be expressed as $\sum_{i=1}^k a_ix_i^2$ and $\sum_{i=1}^k…
We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…
We show that the Jacobian conjecture of the two dimensional case is true.
In this paper, we mainly prove the following conjecture of Z.-H. Sun cite{SH20}: Let $p>3$ be a prime. Then $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\binom{2k}k\frac{3k+1}{(-16)^k}f_k\equiv(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p+p^3E_{p-3}\pmod{p^4},$$ where…
In this paper, we formulate and prove several variants of the Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n additive bases conjecture.
For all positive integers n, we prove the following divisibility properties: $$(2n+3){2n\choose n} | 3{6n\choose 3n}{3n\choose n}, and (10n+3){3n\choose n} | 21{15n\choose 5n} {5n\choose n}.$$ This confirms two recent conjectures of Z.-W.…
In this paper, using quaternion arithmetic in the ring of Lipschitz integers, we present a proof of Zh\`i-W\v{e}i S\={u}n's "1-3-5 conjecture" for integral solutions, and for all natural numbers greater than a specific constant. This,…
