We prove a Lojasiewicz type inequality for a system of polynomial equations with coefficients in the ring of formal power series in two variables. This result is an effective version of the Strong Artin Approximation Theorem. From this…

Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers with $n>k$. Given a permutation $(\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n)$ of integers $1,\ldots,n$, we consider $k$-consecutive sums of $\pi$, i.e., $s_i:=\sum_{j=0}^{k-1}\pi_{i+j}$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$, where we let…

Let $\overline{p}_{j,k}(n)$ denotes the number of $(j,k)$-regular overpartitions of a positive integer $n$ such that none of the parts is congruent to $j$ modulo $k$. Naika et. al. (2021) proved infinite families of congruences modulo…

Several years ago the second author playing with different "recognizers of real constants", e.g., the LLL algorithm, the Plouffe inverter, etc. found empirically the following formula. Let $p_n/q_n$ denote the $n$th convergent of the…

This is a review of several results related to distribution of powers and combination of powers modulo 1. We include a proof that given a sequence of real numbers $\theta_n$, it is possible to get an $\alpha$ (given $\lambda \ne 0$), or a…

We prove that, for all positive integers $n_1, \ldots, n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and non-negative integers $j$ and $r$ with $j\leqslant m$, the following two expressions \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{[n_1+n_m+1]}{n_1+n_{m}\brack…

We reduce the sum $\sum_{k=1}^\infty \sum_{j=0}^{k-1} \frac{(-1)^{j+k+1}}{(2j+1)^mk}$ in terms of special values of the Dirichlet L-series in the character of conductor 4. This sum is a combination of colored zeta values.

Let $(G_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}$ be any sequence obeying the recurrence relation of the Fibonacci numbers. We derive formulas for $\sum_{j=1}^n{G_{j + t}^6}$ and $\sum_{j=1}^n{(-1)^{j - 1}G_{j + t}^5(G_{j + t - 1} + G_{j + t + 1})}$, thereby…

Let $Q_n(z)$ be the polynomials associated with the Nekrasov-Okounkov formula $$\sum_{n\geq 1} Q_n(z) q^n := \prod_{m = 1}^\infty (1 - q^m)^{-z - 1}.$$ In this paper we partially answer a conjecture of Heim and Neuhauser, which asks if…

Let $r$ and $k$ be positive integers with $r \mid k$. Denote by $S_{\mathrm{\mathfrak{z}}}(k;r)$ the minimum integer $n$ such that every coloring $\chi:[1,n] \rightarrow \{0,1,\dots,r-1\}$ admits a solution to $\sum_{i=1}^{k-1} x_i = x_k$…

A family of disjoint pairs of finite sets $\mathcal{P}=\{(A_i,B_i)\mid i\in[m]\}$ is called a Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq\emptyset$ for every $i\neq j$, and a skew Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq\emptyset$ for every $i<j$.…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

In this paper, we are going to consider power series $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_nx^n, $$ where the coefficients $a_n$ are chosen independently at random from a finite set with uniform distribution. We prove that if the expected value of the…

Given positive real numbers, we prove two inequalities involving their potential energy and their power sums. We also prove an inequality involving the energy and the discriminant and apply it to deduce a result on totally positive…

We give a family of congruences for the binomial coefficients ${kp-1\choose p-1}$ in terms of multiple harmonic sums, a generalization of the harmonic numbers. Each congruence in this family (which depends on an additional parameter $n$)…

Let $A(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ be a Dirichlet series admitting meromorphic continuation to the complex plane. Assume we know the location of the poles of $A(s)$ with $|\Im s| \leq T$, and their residues, for some large constant $T$. It is…

In this paper we give a conditional improvement to the Elekes-Szab\'{o} problem over the rationals, assuming the Uniformity Conjecture. Our main result states that for $F\in \mathbb{Q}[x,y,z]$ belonging to a particular family of…

In 1935, Erd\H{o}s proved that the sums $f_k=\sum_n 1/(n\log n)$, over integers $n$ with exactly $k$ prime factors, are bounded by an absolute constant, and in 1993 Zhang proved that $f_k$ is maximized by the prime sum $f_1=\sum_p 1/(p\log…
