Let $A = \{a_{1},a_{2},\dots{}\}$ $(a_{1} < a_{2} < \dots{})$ be an infinite sequence of nonnegative integers, and let $R_{A,2}(n)$ denote the number of solutions of $a_{x}+a_{y}=n$ $(a_{x},a_{y}\in A)$. P. Erd\H{o}s, A. S\'ark\"ozy and V.…

In this paper, we consider sums of three generalized $m$-gonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restrictions on $m$ modulo $30$, we show that a density one set of…

We analyze the asymptotic behavior of random variables $x(n,x\_0)$ defined by $x(0,x\_0)=x\_0$ and $x(n+1,x\_0)=A(n)x(n,x\_0)$, where $\sAn$ is a stationary and ergodic sequence of random matrices with entries in the semi-ring…

V.I. Arnold has recently defined the complexity of a sequence of $n$ zeros and ones with the help of the operator of finite differences. In this paper we describe the results obtained for almost most complicated sequences of elements of a…

Let $\phi(x) = x^d + c$ be an integral polynomial of degree at least 2, and consider the sequence $(\phi^n(0))_{n=0}^\infty$, which is the orbit of $0$ under iteration by $\phi$. Let $D_{d,c}$ denote the set of positive integers $n$ for…

In this paper we study the density in the real line of oscillating sequences of the form $$ (g(k)\cdot F(k\alpha))_{k \in \mathbb{N}} ,$$ where $g$ is a positive increasing function and $F$ a real continuous 1-periodic function. This…

Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers. Let $c\phi_{k}(n)$ denote the number of $k$-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$ and $\mathrm{C}\Phi_k(q)$ be the generating function of $c\phi_{k}(n)$. In this article, we study…

Consider the number of permutations in the symmetric group on n letters that contain c copies of a given pattern. As c varies (with n held fixed) these numbers form a sequence whose properties we study for the monotone patterns and the…

Let G be a finite group of order n and V an irreducible representation over the complex numbers of dimension d. For some nonnegative number e, we have n=d(d+e). If e is small, then the character of V has unusually large degree. We fix e and…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…

In this paper, we compute the natural density of the set of k x n integer matrices that can be extended to an invertible n x n matrix over the integers. As a corollary, we find the density of rectangular matrices with Hermite normal form [O…

We pose thirty conjectures on arithmetical sequences, most of which are about monotonicity of sequences of the form $(\root n\of{a_n})_{n\ge 1}$ or the form $(\root{n+1}\of{a_{n+1}}/\root n\of{a_n})_{n\ge1}$, where $(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a…

Let A be a set of integers dense in a finite interval. We establish upper and lower bounds for the longest regularly-spaced and convex subsets of A and of A-A.

For a set $A$ of nonnegative integers, let $R_2(A,n)$ and $R_3(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions to $n=a+a'$ with $a,a'\in A$, $a<a'$ and $a\leq a'$, respectively. In this paper, we prove that, if $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $N$ is a…

Let $F_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci number. Let $m, n$ be positive integers. Define a sequence $(G(k,n,m))_{k\geq 1}$ by $G(1,n,m) = F^m_n$, and $G(k+1,n,m) = F_{nG(k,n,m)}$ for all $k\geq 1$. We show that $F_n^{k+m-1}\mid G(k,n,m)$ for all…

For $x\ge0$ let $\pi(x)$ be the number of primes not exceeding $x$. The asymptotic behaviors of the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$ and the $n$-th prime $p_n$ have been studied intensively in analytic number theory. Surprisingly, we find…

Let $\{U_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ and $\{V_m\}_{m \geq 0}$ be two linear recurrence sequences. We establish an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $c$ in the range $[-x, x]$ which can be represented as differences $ U_n - V_m$. In…

For integers $n,k,s$, we give a formula for the number $T(n,k,s)$ of order $k$ subsets of the ring $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose sum of elements is $s$ modulo $n$. To do so, we describe explicitly a sequence of matrices $M(k)$, for…
