A proposal in a weighted voting game is accepted if the sum of the (non-negative) weights of the "yea" voters is at least as large as a given quota. Several authors have considered representations of weighted voting games with minimum sum,…

In this paper, we find a basis for the space of modular forms of weight $2$ on $\Gamma_1(48)$. We use this basis to find formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by certain quaternary quadratic forms of the form…

Let $C$ be the classical middle third Cantor set. It is well known that $C+C = [0,2]$ (Steinhaus, 1917). (Here $+$ denotes the Minkowski sum.) Let $U$ be the set of $z \in [0,2]$ which have a unique representation as $z = x + y$ with $x, y…

Let $r_3(n)$ be the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ as a sum of three squares of integers. We give two distinct proofs of a conjecture of Wagon concerning the asymptotic value of the mean square of $r_3(n)$.

As a well-known enumerative problem, the number of solutions of the equation $m=m_1+...+m_k$ with $m_1\leqslant...\leqslant m_k$ in positive integers is $\Pi(m,k)=\sum_{i=0}^k\Pi(m-k,i)$ and $\Pi$ is called the additive partition function.…

We use the theory of symmetric functions to enumerate various classes of alternating permutations w of {1,2,...,n}. These classes include the following: (1) both w and w^{-1} are alternating, (2) w has certain special shapes, such as…

A classical argument was introduced by Khintchine in 1926 in order to exhibit the existence of totally irrational singular linear forms in two variables. This argument was subsequently revisited and extended by many authors. For instance,…
