The Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$ in $n$ variables is defined as the mean of $\log|P|$ over the $n$-dimensional torus. For certain polynomials with integer coefficients in two variables the Mahler measure is known to be related to…
For all positive integers $k,l,n$, the Little Glaisher theorem states that the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not divisible by $k$ and occurring less than $l$ times is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into parts not…
In a previous paper of the second author with K. Ono, surprising multiplicative properties of the partition function were presented. Here, we deal with $k$-regular partitions. Extending the generating function for $k$-regular partitions…
In 1960, W. Sierpinski proved that there are infinitely many positive odd numbers $k$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is a composite number. Such numbers are called "Sierpinski numbers". In this study, by using…
We classify the Boolean degree $1$ functions of $k$-spaces in a vector space of dimension $n$ (also known as Cameron-Liebler classes) over the field with $q$ elements for $n \geq n_0(k, q)$. This also implies that two-intersecting sets with…
In this paper, we study a density version of the Waring-Goldbach problem. Suppose that A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1-1/2k. We prove that every sufficiently large natural number n…
We improve existing estimates of moments of the Riemann zeta function. As a consequence, we are able to derive new estimates for the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{N \alpha \le x} \mathfrak{t}_k(\alpha)$, where $N$ stands for the norm of a…
A classical theorem of Kempner states that the sum of the reciprocals of positive integers with missing decimal digits converges. This result is extended to much larger families of "missing digits" sets of positive integers with convergent…
Let $A(n,m)$ denote the Eulerian numbers, which count the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ descents. It is well known that $A(n,m)$ also counts the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ excedances. In this report,…
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…
We investigate the problem of finding integers $k$ such that appending any number of copies of the base-ten digit $d$ to $k$ yields a composite number. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many integers coprime to all digits…
We obtain a totient analogue for Linnik's theorem in arithmetic progressions. Specifically, for any coprime pair of positive integers $(m,a)$ such that $m$ is odd, there exists $n\le m^{2+o(1)}$ such that $\varphi(n)\equiv…
We deduce an asymptotic formula with error term for the sum $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k \le x} f([n_1,\ldots, n_k])$, where $[n_1,\ldots, n_k]$ stands for the least common multiple of the positive integers $n_1,\ldots, n_k$ ($k\ge 2$) and $f$…
We discuss as a fundamental characteristic of orthogonal polynomials like the existence of a Lie algebra behind them, can be added to their other relevant aspects. At the basis of the complete framework for orthogonal polynomials we put…
Let $m$ be a Carmichael number and let $L$ be the least common multiple of $p-1$, where $p$ runs over the prime factors of $m$. We determine all the Carmichael numbers $m$ with a Fermat prime factor such that $L=2^{\alpha}P^2$, where $k\in…
In 2000 Deaconescu raised a question whether there exists a composite $n$ for which $S_2(n)|\phi(n)-1$, where $\phi(n)$ is Euler's function and $S_2(n)$ is Schemmel's totient function. In this paper we prove that any such $n$ is odd,…
We develop a method to compute effectively the Young measures associated to sequences of numerical solutions of the compressible Euler system. Our approach is based on the concept of $\mathcal{K}$-convergence adapted to sequences of…
It is known that Euler numbers, defined as the Taylor coefficients of the tangent and secant functions, count alternating permutations in the symmetric group. Springer defined a generalization of these numbers for each finite Coxeter group…
We introduce a kind of "perturbation" for the Li-Keiper coefficients around the Koebe function (the K function) and establish a closed system of Equations for the Li-Keiper coefficients. We then check the correctness of some of the many…
Let $n\geq 1$, $0\leq t\leq {n \choose 2}$ be arbitrary integers. Define the numbers $I_n(t)$ as the number of permutations of $[n]$ with $t$ inversions. Let $n,d\geq 1$ and $0\leq t\leq (d-1)n$ be arbitrary integers. Define {\em the…
