We prove Union-Closed sets conjecture.
A new general and unified method of summation, which is both regular and consistent, is invented. It is based on the idea concerning a way of integers reordering. The resulting theory includes a number of explicit and closed form summation…
I discuss the computational methods behind the formulation of some conjectures related to variants on Andrews' $q$-Dyson conjecture.
The conjecture that the orbit-counting generating function for totally symmetric plane partitions can be written as an explicit product formula, has been stated independently by George Andrews and David Robbins around 1983. We present a…
We give a simple quaternionic proof of a recent result of Goldmakher and Pollack on restricted sums of four integral squares.
We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…
We relate the Andrews-Curtis conjecture to the triviality problem for balanced presentations of groups using algorithms from 3-manifold topology. Implementing this algorithm could lead to counterexamples to the Andrews-Curtis conjecture.
Adapting a method used by Cauchy, Bailey, Slater, and more recently, the second author, we give a new proof of Bailey's celebrated 6-psi-6 summation formula.
Based on a bijection due to Fu and Tang, we provide combinatorial proofs of several partition identities of Andrews and Merca. We also introduce two weights for partitions to extend one of these identities.
I revisit an automated proof of Andrews' pentagonal number theorem found by Riese. I uncover a simple polynomial identity hidden behind his proof. I explain how to use this identity to prove Andrews' result along with a variety of new…
In this paper, we formulate and prove several variants of the Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n additive bases conjecture.
Based on the recent work of Arsovski, we confirm a conjecture of Feng, Sun, and Xiang, and we give a shortened proof of Snevily's conjecture.
We prove a new q-analogue of Nicomachus's Theorem about the sum of cubes and some related results.
We show that in a vector space over Z_3, the union of any four linear bases is an additive basis, thus proving the Additive Basis Conjecture for p=3, and providing an alternative proof of the weak 3-flow conjecture.
We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.
We provide new sufficient conditions under which Ryser's conjecture holds.
We present an improved incremental selection algorithm of the selection algorithm presented in [1] and prove all the selected conjectures.
We consider $q$-analytic derivations of the $q$-Gauss summation formula for a $\, _2\phi _1$ that respect the symmetry in its upper parameters.
The link between Vandiver's conjecture and Gauss sums is well known since the papers of Iwasawa (1975), Thaine (1995-1999) and Angl{\`e}s-Nuccio (2010). This conjecture is required in many subjects and we shall give such examples of…
Using Watson's terminating $_8\phi_7$ transformation formula, we prove a family of $q$-congruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by the author and Zudilin [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 475 (2019),…
