The Boolean lattice $2^{[n]}$ is the family of all subsets of $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$ ordered by inclusion, and a chain is a family of pairwise comparable elements of $2^{[n]}$. Let $s=2^{n}/\binom{n}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$, which is the average…

We obtain a lower bound for \[ \#\{x/2< p_{n}\leq x:\ p_n \equiv\ldots\equiv p_{n+m}\equiv a\text{ (mod $q$)},\ p_{n+m} - p_{n}\leq y\}, \] where $p_{n}$ is the $n^{\text{th}}$ prime.

The determinantal complexity of a polynomial $P \in \mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ is the dimension of the smallest matrix $M$ whose entries are affine functions in $\mathbb{F}[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ such that $P =…

In this paper we consider the minimal polynomial $\psi_n(x)$ of $2\cos (2\pi /n)$. We introduce some polynomial sequences with the same recurrence relation as the rescaled Chebyshev polynomials $t_n(x)=2\, T_n(x/2)$ of the first kind, which…

Let $c$ be a fixed integer such that $c \in \{0,2\}.$ Let $n$ be a positive integer such that either $n\geq 2$ or $2n+1 \neq 3^u$ for any integer $u\geq 2$ according as $c = 0$ or not. Let $\phi(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic…

For $0\le k\le n$, write $\binom nk=uv$ where the primes dividing $u$ are at most $k$ and the primes dividing $v$ exceed $k$, and let $f(n)$ be the least $k$ with $u>n^2$; Erd\H{o}s problem 684 asks for bounds on $f(n)$. We resolve the…

In this paper, we first prove that for any strong divisibility sequences $\boldsymbol{a} = \left(a_n\right)_{n\geq 1}$, we have the identity: $\mathrm{lcm} \left\lbrace \binom{n}{0}_{\bf{a}}, \binom{n}{1}_{\bf{a}},\dots,…

For $ f\in\mathbb{Z}[X] $ an irreducible polynomial of degree $ n $, the Cilleruelo's conjecture states that$$\log(\mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)))\sim(n-1)M\log M$$as $ M\rightarrow+\infty $, where $ \mbox{lcm}(f(1),\dots,f(M)) $ is the least…

In this paper, given a simple linear recurrence sequence of algebraic numbers, which has either a dominant characteristic root or exactly two characteristic roots of maximal modulus, we give some explicit lower bounds for the index beyond…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

In this paper, we shed new light on the spectrum of the relation algebra we call $A_{n}$, which is obtained by splitting the non-flexible diversity atom of $6_{7}$ into $n$ symmetric atoms. Precisely, we show that the minimum value in…

Let $B_n(m)$ be a set picked uniformly at random among all $m$-elements subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. We provide a pathwise construction of the collection $(B_n(m))_{1\leq m\leq n}$ and prove that the logarithm of the least common multiple…

Let $L_n(k)$ denote the least common multiple of $k$ independent random integers uniformly chosen in $\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$. In this note, using a purely probabilistic approach, we derive a criterion for the convergence in distribution as…

We prove that functions $f:\f{2^m} \to \f{2^m}$ of the form $f(x)=x^{-1}+g(x)$ where $g$ is any non-affine polynomial are APN on at most a finite number of fields $\f{2^m}$. Furthermore we prove that when the degree of $g$ is less then 7…

Let $f$ be a polynomial in $n$ variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ with real coefficients. In [Ghasemi-Marshal], Ghasemi and Marshall give an algorithm, based on geometric programming, which computes a lower bound for $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. In…
