In this paper, we consider arithmetic progressions contained in Lucas sequences of first and second kind. We prove that for almost all sequences, there are only finitely many and their number can be effectively bounded. We also show that…
We introduce the continued logarithm representation of real numbers and prove results on the occurrence and frequency of digits with respect to this representation
Let $B$ be a set of natural numbers of size $n$. We prove that the length of the longest arithmetic progression contained in the product set $B.B = \{bb'| \, b, b' \in B\}$ cannot be greater than $O(n \log n)$ which matches the lower bound…
The material of this work is aimed at mathematics educators, as well as math specialists with a keen interest in progressions. In this paper, we study the subject of arithmetic, geometric, mixed, and harmonic progressions or sequences. Some…
Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain a lower bound within a constant factor of the conjectured asymptotic result for the second moment for primes in an individual arithmetic progression in short intervals. Previous results…
In an earlier paper we introduced the notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' in a heuristic manner. In this paper a formal theory is developed for the 'bifurcating continued fractions'.
The purpose of this note is to verify that the results attained in [6] admit an extension to the multidimensional setting. Namely, for subsets of the two dimensional torus we find the sharp growth rate of the step(s) of a generalized…
We express the weight enumerators of self-dual and doubly even (Type II for short) codes of length $24$ with a specified basis. As a consequence, we present some congruence relations among the weight enumerators.
We show that infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions $N, N+d, N+2d$ of powerful numbers exist with $d = 2\sqrt{N} + 1$. We further conjecture that infinitely many of these progressions consist of three consecutive terms in the…
Let $B$ be a set of natural numbers of size $n$. We prove that the length of the longest arithmetic progression contained in the product set $B.B = \{bb'| \, b, b' \in B\}$ cannot be greater than $O(\frac{n\log^2 n}{\log \log n})$ and…
Given two sets $\cA, \cB \subseteq \F_q$ of elements of the finite field $\F_q$ of $q$ elements, we show that the productset $$ \cA\cB = \{ab | a \in \cA, b \in\cB\} $$ contains an arithmetic progression of length $k \ge 3$ provided that…
It is shown that the trace of $3$ dimensional Brownian motion contains arithmetic progressions of length $5$ and no arithmetic progressions of length $6$ a.s.
We solve the enumeration of the set $\textrm{AP}(n)$ of partitions of a positive integer $n$ in which the nondecreasing sequence of parts forms an arithmetic progression. In particular, we establish a formula for the number of nondecreasing…
We describe various properties of continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in terms of Gaussian integers. Numerous distinct such expansions are possible for a complex number. They can be arrived at through various algorithms, as…
We give explicit numerical values with 100 decimal digits for the constant in the Mertens product over primes in the arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$, for $q \in \{3$, ..., $100\}$ and $(a, q) = 1$.
In a recent paper, one of us posed three open problems concerning squarefree arithmetic progressions in infinite words. In this note we solve these problems and prove some additional results.
We describe some of the machinery behind recent progress in establishing infinitely many arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in various sets of integers, in particular in arbitrary dense subsets of the integers, and in the primes.
In this paper, we study some combinations of the degenerate and incomplete Stirling numbers of the second kind. We use a combinatorial approach and provide some asymptotic results.
Today's PCs can directly manipulate numbers not longer than 64 bits because the size of the CPU registers and the data-path are limited. Consequently, arithmetic operations such as addition, can only be performed on numbers of that length.…
This is the second of two coupled papers estimating the mean values of multiplicative functions, of unknown support, on arithmetic progressions with large differences. Applications are made to the study of primes in arithmetic progression…
