In this paper we study surfaces in Euclidean 3-space that satisfy a Weingarten condition of linear type as $\kappa_1=m \kappa_2 +n$, where $m$ and $n$ are real numbers and $\kappa_1$ and $\kappa_2$ denote the principal curvatures at each…

In this paper, we deal with the question; under what conditions the points $P_i(xi,yi)$ $(i = 1,\cdots, n)$ form a convex polygon provided $x_1 < \cdots < x_n$ holds. One of the main findings of the paper can be stated as follows: "Let…

Let $(L_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of Lucas numbers, defined recursively by $L_1 := 1$, $L_2 := 3$, and $L_{n + 2} := L_{n + 1} + L_n$, for every integer $n \geq 1$. We determine the asymptotic behavior of $\log \operatorname{lcm} (L_1…

Let $ \{L_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Lucas numbers. In this paper, we determine all Lucas numbers that are palindromic concatenations of two distinct repdigits.

In this paper, we show that a small minimal k-blocking set in PG(n, q3), q = p^h, h >= 1, p prime, p >=7, intersecting every (n-k)-space in 1 (mod q) points, is linear. As a corollary, this result shows that all small minimal k-blocking…

In this paper we define the generalized q-analogues of Euler sums and present a new family of identities for q-analogues of Euler sums by using the method of Jackson q-integral rep- resentations of series. We then apply it to obtain a…

We investigate the consecutive primes $p$ and $q$ ($p > q$) for which there exists a pair of natural numbers $(x,y)$ such that $p^x-q^y$ is a perfect square and make some conjectures.

A sequence $\Big(u_n\Big)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is said to be convex if it satisfies the following inequality $$ 2u_n\leq u_{n-1}+u_{n+1}\qquad \mbox{for all}\qquad n\in\mathbb{N}. $$ We present several characterizations of convex sequences and…

We present a proof of a multidimensional version of Peres-Schlag's theorem on Diophantine approximations with lacunary sequences.

In this paper we extend the notion of Melham sum to the Pell and Pell-Lucas sequences. While the proofs of general statements rely on the binomial theorem, we prove some spacial cases by the known Pell identities. We also give extensions of…

We give a shorter and simpler proof of the result of [2], which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for when a lattice diagram is the projection of a lattice link.

We prove the existence of flips for $\mathbb Q$-factorial NQC generalized lc pairs, and the cone and contraction theorems for NQC generalized lc pairs. This answers a question of C. Birkar which was conjectured by J. Han and Z. Li. As an…

We give examples of calculi that extend Gentzen's sequent calculus LK by unsound quantifier inferences in such a way that (i) derivations lead only to true sequents, and (ii) proofs therein are non-elementarily shorter than LK-proofs.

The equivalence problem of $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets of rank n of $PG(1,q^n)$ is investigated, also in terms of the associated variety, projecting configurations, $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear blocking sets of R\'edei type and MRD-codes.

The $LS$-sequences are a parametric family of sequences of points in the unit interval. They were introduced by Carbone, who also proved that under an appropriate choice of the parameters $L$ and $S$, such sequences are low-discrepancy. The…

We show that the $Kn$--smooth part of $a^n-1$ for an integer $a>1$ is $a^{o(n)}$ for most positive integers $n$.

We give a new characterization of generalized B\"uchi sequences (sequences whose sequence of squares has constant second difference $(a)$, for some fixed integer $a$) of length 3 over the integers and a strategy for attacking B\"uchi's n…

The Lucas sequences are integers defined by a homogeneous recurrence relation. They include the well-known Fibonacci numbers, which appear abundantly in nature. The complementary Lucas numbers, defined by the same recurrence relation, are…

Given a set $P$ of points and a set $U$ of axis-parallel unit squares in the Euclidean plane, a minimum ply cover of $P$ with $U$ is a subset of $U$ that covers $P$ and minimizes the number of squares that share a common intersection,…

Horadam introduced a new generalized sequence of numbers, describing its key features and the special sub-sequences that are obtained depending on the choices of initial parameters. This sequence and its sub-sequences are known as the…
