The Finiteness Problem is shown to be unsolvable for any sufficiently large class of modular lattices.
We prove specific biases in the number of occurrences of parts belonging to two different residue classes $a$ and $b$, modulo a fixed non-negative integer $m$, for the sets of unrestricted partitions, partitions into distinct parts, and…
In [16], we obtained some congruences for Lucas quotients of two infinite families of Lucas sequences by studying the combinatorial sum $$\sum_{k\equiv r(\mbox{mod}m)}{n\choose k}a^k.$$ In this paper, we show that the sum can be expressed…
For any positive integers l and m, a set of integers is said to be (weakly) l-sum-free modulo m if it contains no (pairwise distinct) elements $x_1,x_2,...,x_l,y$ satisfying the congruence $x_1+\...+x_l\equiv y\bmod{m}$. It is proved that,…
This contribution presents all possible solutions to the Diophantine equations $F_k=L_mL_n$ and $L_k=F_mF_n$. To be clear, Fibonacci numbers that are the product of two arbitrary Lucas numbers and Lucas numbers that are the product of two…
By investigating a recurrence relation about functions, we first give alternative proofs of various identities on Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, and then, make certain well known identities visible via certain trivalent graph…
Let $(F_n)_{n\ge0}$ and $(L_n)_{n\ge0}$ denote the sequences of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers respectively. This paper determines all Lucas numbers that can be represented as base $b$ mixed concatenations of a Fibonacci number and a Lucas…
We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
Harmonic numbers $H_k=\sum_{0<j\le k}1/j (k=0,1,2,...)$ arise naturally in many fields of mathematics. In this paper we initiate the study of congruences involving both harmonic numbers and Lucas sequences. One of our three theorems is as…
An integer sequence is called realizable if it is the count of periodic points of some map. The Fibonacci sequence $(F_n)$ does not have this property, and the Fibonacci sequence sampled along the squares $(F_{n^2})$ also does not have this…
(Below, \Box means "perfect square") Let $P$ and $Q$ be non-zero integers. The Lucas sequence $\{U_n(P,Q)\}$ is defined by $U_0=0$, $U_1=1$, $U_n=P U_{n-1}-Q U_{n-2}$, $(n \geq 2)$. Historically, there has been much interest in when the…
A quandle is an algebraic structure satisfying three axioms: idempotency, right-invertibility and right self-distributivity. In quandles, right translations are permutations. The profile of a quandle is the list of cycle structures, one per…
We give elementary proofs of some congruence criteria to compute binomial coefficients in modulo a prime. These criteria are analogues to the symmetry property of binomial coefficients. We give extended version of Lucas Theorem by using…
The 1970s conjecture of Lov\'asz and Plummer that the number of perfect matchings in any $3$-regular graph is exponential in the number of vertices was proved in 2011 by Esperet, Kardo\v{s}, King, Kr\'al', and Norine. We give the exact…
Both Fibonacci and Lucas numbers can be described combinatorially in terms of 0-1 strings without consecutive ones. In the present article we explore the occupation numbers as well as the correlations between various positions in the…
We consider a problem of P. Erdos, A. M. Odlyzko and A. Sarkozy about the representation of residue classes modulo m by products of two not too large primes. While it seems that even the Extended Riemann Hypothesis is not powerful enough to…
An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 =…
Let (F_n^{(k)})_{n\geq -(k-2)} be the k-generalized Fibonacci sequence, defined as the linear recurrence sequence whose first k terms are \(0, 0, \ldots, 0, 1\), and whose subsequent terms are determined by the sum of the preceding k terms.…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of completely non-trivial module of a Lie conformal algebra. By this notion, we classify all finite irreducible modules of a class of $\mathbb{Z}^+$-graded Lie conformal algebras…
A $K$-Fibonacci sequence is a binary recurrence sequence where $F_0=0$, $F_1=1$, and $F_n=K\cdot F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$. These sequences are known to be periodic modulo every positive integer greater than $1$. If the length of one shortest period…
