We study some divisibility properties of quasiperfect numbers. We show that if $N=(p_1 p_2 \cdots p_t)^{2a}=m^2$ is quasiperfect, then $2a+1$ is divisible by $3$ and $N$ has at least one prime factor smaller than $\exp 716.7944$. Moreover,…
Two results (together with their relatively elementary proofs) are presented. The first one presents the upper boundary on the number of spanning trees in a finite planar multigraph, proving that the complexity (the number of spanning…
In this note, we show that if $N$ is an odd perfect number and $q^{\alpha}$ is some prime power exactly dividing it, then $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}>5$. In general, we also show that if $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}<K$, where $K$…
Acquaah and Konyagin showed that if $N$ is an odd perfect number where $N= p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2} \cdots p_k^{a_k}$ where $p_1 < p_2 \cdots < p_k$ then one must have $p_k < 3^{1/3}N^{1/3}$. Using methods similar to theirs, we show that…
We say that a real X is n-generic relative to a perfect tree T if X is a path through T and for all Sigma^0_n (T) sets S, there exists a number k such that either X|k is in S or for all tau in T extending X|k we have tau is not in S. A real…
In this paper we present a lower bound for the minimal dimension $\mu(\mathfrak{n})$ of a faithful representation of a finite dimensional $p$-step nilpotent Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ over a field of characteristic zero. Our bound is given…
In this work, we obtain some new lower bounds for the number $\mathcal N_B(x)$ of Nov\'ak numbers less than or equal to $x$. We also prove, conditionally on Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, the upper estimates for the number of primes…
We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in simple graphs with a given number of vertices and edges. We apply this result to give an upper bound on the number of 2-factors in a directed complete bipartite balanced graph on…
The lower and upper bounds are found for the leading term of summatory totient function $\sum_{k\leq N}k^u\phi^v(k)$ in various ranges of $u\in{\mathbb R}$ and $v\in{\mathbb Z}$.
For a membrane in the plane the multiplicity of the $k$-th eigenvalue is known to be not greater than $2k-1$. Here we prove that it is actually not greater than $2k-3$, for $k\ge 3$.
In parametric sequence alignment, optimal alignments of two sequences are computed as a function of the penalties for mismatches and spaces, producing many different optimal alignments. Here we give a 3/(2^{7/3}\pi^{2/3})n^{2/3} +O(n^{1/3}…
Upper and lower bounds are derived for the quantity in the title, which is tabulated for modest values of $n$ and $k.$ An application to graphs with many cycles is given.
The following hypothesis was put forward by Goreinov, Tyrtyshnikov and Zamarashkin in \cite{GTZ1997}. For arbitrary real $n \times k$ matrix with orthonormal columns a sufficiently "good" $k \times k$ submatrix exists. "Good" in the sense…
For an element $a$ of an integral domain D under an equivalence relation \tau, the \tau-factorization of a is defined as \lambda a_1 a_2... a_k, where \lambda is a unit in D and a_i \tau a_j for all i, j. An irreducible element has no…
A subsequence of a word $w$ is a word $u$ such that $u = w[i_1] w[i_2] \cdots w[i_k]$, for some set of indices $1 \leq i_1 < i_2 < \dots < i_k \leq \vert w \vert$. A word $w$ is \emph{$k$-subsequence universal} over an alphabet $\Sigma$ if…
In this paper, we provide an method to obtain the lower bound on the number of the distinct maximum genus embedding of the complete bipartite graph Kn;n (n be an odd number), which, in some sense, improves the results of S. Stahl and H.…
Suppose $K$ is a number field and $a_K(m)$ is the number of integral ideals of norm equal to $m$ in $K$, then for any integer $l$, we asymptotically evaluate the sum \[ \sum_{m\leqslant T} a_K^l(m) \] as $T\to\infty$. We also consider the…
The normal covering number $\gamma(G)$ of a finite, non-cyclic group $G$ is the minimum number of proper subgroups such that each element of $G$ lies in some conjugate of one of these subgroups. We find lower bounds linear in $n$ for…
