G.L. Watson \cite{watson1, watson2} introduced a set of transformations, called Watson transformations by most recent authors, in his study of the arithmetic of integral quadratic forms. These transformations change an integral quadratic…
A formula for the number of monic irreducible self-reciprocal polynomials, of a given degree over a finite field, was given by Carlitz in 1967. In 2011 Ahmadi showed that Carlitz's formula extends, essentially without change, to a count of…
The scalar difference equation $x_{n+1}=f_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k})$ may exhibit symmetries in its form that allow for reduction of order through substitution or a change of variables. Such form symmetries can be defined generally…
We study and compare two factorisation systems for surjective homomorphisms in the category of quandles. The first one is induced by the adjunction between quandles and trivial quandles, and a precise description of the two classes of…
Motivated by a question in Schubert calculus, we study the interplay of quasisymmetric polynomials with the divided symmetrization operator, which was introduced by Postnikov in the context of volume polynomials of permutahedra. Divided…
We offer multiplication method for factoring big natural numbers which extends the group of the Fermat's and Lehman's factorization algorithms and has run-time complexity $O(n^{1/3})$. This paper is argued the finiteness of proposed…
The present paper formulates and solves a problem of dividing coins. The basic form of the problem seeks the set of the possible ways of dividing coins of face values 1,2,4,8,... between three people. We show that this set possesses a…
The $(-1)$-Jacobi, Bannai-Ito, and $(-1)$-Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials are studied in [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 364 (2012), 5491-5507], [Adv. Math. 229 (2012), 2123-2158], and [Stud. Appl. Math. 153 (2024), e12728], respectively, through…
We present a proof of a conjecture of Goh and Wildberger on the factorization of the spread polynomials. We indicate how the factors can be effectively calculated and exhibit a connection to the factorization of Fibonacci numbers into…
Let there be given a probability measure $\mu$ on the unit circle $\TT$ of the complex plane and consider the inner product induced by $\mu$. In this paper we consider the problem of orthogonalizing a sequence of monomials $\{z^{r_k}\}_k$,…
We give a new characterization of the set $\mathcal{C}$ of Carmichael numbers in the context of $p$-adic theory, independently of the classical results of Korselt and Carmichael. The characterization originates from a surprising link to the…
The sieved Jacobi polynomials have been introduced by Askey. These can be obtained from conveniently taking $q$ to be a root of unity in the Askey-Wilson polynomials. The question of determining if they are eigenfunctions of some operator…
Let $f$ be a monic quadratic polynomial over a finite field of odd characteristic. In 2012, Boston and Jones constructed a Markov process based on the post-critical orbit of $f$, and conjectured that its limiting distribution explains the…
The N distinct prime numbers that make up a composite number M allow $2^{N-1}$ bi partioning into two relatively prime factors. Each such pair defines a pair of conjugate representations. These pairs of conjugate representations, each of…
This paper addresses an investigation on a factorization method for difference equations. It is proved that some classes of second order linear difference operators, acting in Hilbert spaces, can be factorized using a pair of mutually…
We classify the pairs of polynomials $f,g$ over a field $K$, such that $f(X)-g(Y)$ has a factor of total degree at most 2. This was done by Y. Bilu for characteristic 0 fields $K$. As his method does not work in positive characteristic, we…
Ikeda-Mihalcea-Naruse's double Schubert polynomials represent the equivariant cohomology classes of Schubert varieties in the type C flag varieties. The goal of this paper is to obtain a new tableau formula of these polynomials associated…
In this paper we give an additive representation of the factorial, which can be proven by a simple quick analytical argument. We also present some generalizations, which are linked, on the one hand to an arithmetical theorem proven by Euler…
The centre of the symmetric group algebra $\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{S}_n]$ has been used successfully for studying important problems in enumerative combinatorics. These include maps in orientable surfaces and ramified covers of the sphere by…
We give a modern computational introduction to the S,K combinators invented by Moses Sch\"onfinkel in 1920, and present a variety of new results and ideas about combinators. We explore the spectrum of behavior obtained with small combinator…
