Let $K$ be the sum of the reciprocals of the integers with no occurrence of the digit $b-1$ in base $b$. We show $K = b\log(b) - A/b - B/b^2-C/b^3+O(1/b^4)$ with $A=\zeta(2)/2$, $B = (3\zeta(2)+\zeta(3))/3$ and $C =…

We describe the relationships between the notion of $q$-deformed rational numbers, introduced in our previous work with Sophie Morier-Genoud, and the theory of dimer models. We show that $q$-deformed rationals can be calculated in terms of…

Math is constructed by people for people: just as natural language corpora reflect not just propositions but the communicative goals of language users, the math data that models are trained on reflects not just idealized mathematical…

A complete set of supertraces on the algebras of observables of the rational Calogero models with harmonic interaction based on the classical root systems of B_N, C_N and D_N types is found. These results extend the results known for the…

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of at most four distinct $m$-gonal numbers (allowing a fixed number of repeats of each polygonal number occurring in the sum). We show that the number of such representations…

We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…

In this paper we obtain explicit estimates and existence results on the number of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational solutions of certain systems defined by families of diagonal equations over finite fields. Our approach relies on the study of the…

We describe the problem of Sweedler's duals for bialgebras as essentially characterizing the domain of the transpose of the multiplication. This domain is the set of what could be called ``representative linear forms'' which are the…

We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n^4 mathematical operations. The…

We investigate cases where Thabit and Williams numbers in base $b$ can be expressed as the sum or difference of two $g$-repdigits. For specific values of $b$ and $g$, we describe parametric solutions yielding infinitely many solutions for…

We study the joint distribution of the number of occurrences of members of a collection of nonoverlapping motifs in digital data. We deal with finite and countably infinite collections. For infinite collections, the setting requires that we…

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…

We study the rational dynamics of the map $\mathcal{T}(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor(1+\{x\})$, which appears in the recursive construction of the prime-representing constant of Fridman, Garbulsky, Glecer, Grime and Florentin. For a rational number…

Let $I_1\subset I_2\subset\dots$ be an increasing sequence of ideals of the ring $\Bbb Z[X]$, $X=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ and let $I$ be their union. We propose an algorithm to compute the Gr\"obner base of $I$ under the assumption that the…

It is shown that the set of palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers in any base. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of $O(d)$ palindromes in base $d$.

By considering a discrete tape where each cell corresponds to an integer, thus to a possible sum, a pseudo-polynomial solution can be given to subset sum problem, which is an NP-complete problem and a cornerstone application for this study,…

Given a real number $0.a_1a_2 a_3\dots$ that is normal to base $b$, we examine increasing sequences $n_i$ so that the number $0.a_{n_1}a_{n_2}a_{n_3}\dots$ are normal to base $b$. Classically it is known that if the $n_i$ form an arithmetic…

This paper outlines a general formal framework for reasoning systems, intended to support future analysis of inference architectures across domains. We model reasoning systems as structured tuples comprising phenomena, explanation space,…

Computations over the rational numbers often suffer from intermediate coefficient swell. One solution to this problem is to apply the given algorithm modulo a number of primes and then lift the modular results to the rationals. This method…

We believe we have made progress in the age-old problem of divisibility rules for integers. Universal divisibility rule is introduced for any divisor in any base number system. The divisibility criterion is written down explicitly as a…
