Let $f$ be a Rademacher random multiplicative function. Let $$M_f(u):=\sum_{n \leq u} f(n)$$ be the partial sum of $f$. Let $V_f(x)$ denote the number of sign changes of $M_f(u)$ up to $x$. We show that for any constant $c > 2$, $$V_f(x) =…

We consider a generalization of Sperner's lemma for a triangulation $T$ of $(m+1)$-discs $D$ whose vertices are colored in $n+2$ colors. A proper coloring of $T$ on the boundary of $D$ determines a simplicial mapping $f:S^m \to S^n$ and the…

In this paper, we proposed an interesting problem that might be classified into enumerative combinatorics. Featuring a distinctive two-fold dependence upon the sequences' terms, our problem can be really difficult, which calls for novel…

An integer $n$ is called practical if every $m\le n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. We show that the number of practical numbers below $x$ is asymptotic to $c x/\log x$, as conjectured by Margenstern. We also give an…

Let $s_a(n)$ denote the sum of digits of an integer $n$ in the base $a$ expansion. Answering, in a extended form, a question of Deshouillers, Habsieger, Laishram, and Landreau, we show that, provided $a$ and $b$ are multiplicatively…

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

In this paper, we extend recent work of the third author and Ziegler on triples of integers $(a,b,c)$, with the property that each of $(a,b,c)$, $(a+1,b+1,c+1)$ and $(a+2,b+2,c+2)$ is multiplicatively dependent, completely classifying such…

A generalized Bailey pair, which contains several special cases considered by Bailey (\emph{Proc. London Math. Soc. (2)}, 50 (1949), 421--435), is derived and used to find a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Consideration of…

The celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities equate the number of integer partitions of $n$ ($n\in\mathbb N_0$) with parts congruent to $\pm 1 \pmod{5}$ (respectively $\pm 2 \pmod{5}$) and the number of partitions of $n$ with super-distinct…

Let $B(m, n)$ be the number of ways to colour a $2m \times 2n$ grid in black and white so that, in each row and each column, half of the cells are white and half are black. Bhattacharya conjectured that the exponent of $2$ in the prime…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

It is well known that the numbers $(2m)! (2n)!/m! n! (m+n)!$ are integers, but in general there is no known combinatorial interpretation for them. When $m=0$ these numbers are the middle binomial coefficients $\binom{2n}{n}$, and when $m=1$…

A finite set $X$ in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space is called an $s$-distance set if the set of distances between any two distinct points of $X$ has size $s$. In 1977, Larman-Rogers-Seidel proved that if the cardinality of an…

We count the number of countable homogeneous colored linear orderings in $k$ colors. Relatedly, we count the number of countable $C_{n,m}$-homogeneous linear orderings. $C_{n,m}$-homogeneity is a strong homogeneity notion that approximates…

We obtain two sequences of rational numbers which converge to the Euler-Gompertz constant. Denote by <f(x)> the integral of f(x)e^{-x} from 0 to infinity. Recall that the Euler-Gompertz constant \delta is <ln(x+1)>. Main idea. Let P_n(x) be…

The multiplicative theory of a set of numbers (which could be natural, integer, rational, real or complex numbers) is the first-order theory of the structure of that set with (solely) the multiplication operation (that set is taken to be…

The binary sum-of-digits function $s$ counts the number of ones in the binary expansion of a nonnegative integer. For any nonnegative integer $t$, T.~W.~Cusick defined the asymptotic density $c_t$ of integers $n\geq 0$ such that…

Ramanujan derived the well known divergent-sum of integers in more than one way. We generalise the informal method to higher powers of the Riemann zeta function through a study of the Eulerian numbers in particular. Within the context of…

Consider the set $\mathcal{K}$ of integers $k$ for which there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+k$ is a power of $2$. The aim of this paper is to show a relationship between $\mathcal{K}$ and the limits points of some set…

For $n \geq 3,$ let $ p_n $ denote the $n^{\rm th}$ prime number. Let $[ \; ]$ denote the floor or greatest integer function. For a positive integer $m,$ let $\pi_2(m)$ denote the number of twin primes not exceeding $m.$ The twin prime…
