To represent positive integers by regular patterns on a plane or in three-dimensional space may be traced back to the Pythagoreans. The aim of the present article is to explore the possibility of extending the representation framework for…
The $n$th term of an automatic sequence is the output of a deterministic finite automaton fed with the representation of $n$ in a suitable numeration system. In this paper, instead of considering automatic sequences built on a numeration…
It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…
Magic sets of observables are minimal structures that capture quantum state-independent advantage for systems of $n\ge 2$ qubits and are, therefore, fundamental tools for investigating the interface between classical and quantum physics. A…
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 $k\ge 2$.
We address the question of computing one selected term of an algebraic power series. In characteristic zero, the best algorithm currently known for computing the $N$th coefficient of an algebraic series uses differential equations and has…
We determine all perfect powers that can be written as the sum of at most 10 consecutive squares.
In this paper we continue our study, begun in part I, of the exceptional set of integers, not restricted by elementary congruence conditions, which cannot be represented as sums of three or four squares of primes. We correct a serious…
Permutations can be represented as linear combinations of natural numbers with different powers. In this paper, its coefficient matrix and inverse matrix is derived, and the results show the coefficient matrix is a lower triangular matrix…
The aim of this note is to introduce a fast new general method for the construction of double and single even order magic squares. The method for double even order magic squares is fairly straight-forward but some adjustment is necessary…
Magic is a quantum resource essential for universal quantum computation and represents the deviation of quantum states from those that can be simulated efficiently using classical algorithms. Using the Stabilizer R\'enyi Entropy (SRE), we…
A unitary divisor $c$ of a positive integer $n$ is a positive divisor of $n$ that is relatively prime to $\displaystyle{\frac{n}{c}}$. For any integer $k$, the function $\sigma_k^*$ is a multiplicative arithmetic function defined so that…
Let $r_{k}(n)$ denote the number of representations of the integer $n$ as a sum of $k$ squares. In this paper, we give an asymptotic for $r_{k}(n)$ when $n$ grows linearly with $k$. As a special case, we find that \[ r_{n}(n) \sim \frac{B…
Given an integral indefinite binary Hermitian form f over an imaginary quadratic number field, we give a precise asymptotic equivalent to the number of nonequivalent representations, satisfying some congruence properties, of the rational…
From the simplest point of view, transseries are a new kind of expansion for real-valued functions. But transseries constitute much more than that--they have a very rich (algebraic, combinatorial, analytic) structure. The set of transseries…
An arithmetic formula is an expression involving only the constant $1$, and the binary operations of addition and multiplication, with multiplication by $1$ not allowed. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of arithmetic formulas…
The present article includes the enumeration of $n$-polygons with a certain symmetry property: For an even number $n$ of vertices, we count the $n$-polygons with $\frac{n}{2}$ symmetry axes. In addition, if $n$ is a power of 2, we show the…
We give a criterion when an expansion of the ordered set of real numbers defines the image of the expansion of the real field by the set of natural numbers under a semialgebraic injection. In particular, we show that for a non-quadratic…
A period is a complex number arising as the integral of a rational function with algebraic number coefficients over a rationally-defined region. Although periods are typically transcendental numbers, there is a conjectural Galois theory of…
We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…
