In this short survey we look at a few basic features of p-adic numbers, somewhat with the point of view of a classical analyst. In particular, with p-adic numbers one has arithmetic operations and a norm, just as for real or complex…
Some mathematical properties of the Erd\"os number and its formal equivalents are shown. An informetric equivalent is presented: the Rousseau number. This contribution honors Ronald Rousseau for his 73th birthday.
This article identifies and discusses the theoretical foundations that were considered in the design of the A2RD model. In addition to the points considered, references are made to the studies available and considered in the approach.
We construct explicit exponential bases on finite unions of disjoint rectangles of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with rational vertices.
We review definitions and basic properties of operads, PROPs and algebras over these structures.
We introduce and study non-uniform expansions of real numbers, given by two non-integer bases.
This expository paper features a few highlights of Richard Stanley's extensive work in Ehrhart theory, the study of integer-point enumeration in rational polyhedra. We include results from the recent literature building on Stanley's work,…
We present some new lower bound estimates for certain numbers in Laver table theory and introduce several related structures of interest.
We present an algebraic structure in modules over integer rings with cardinality prime powers, which allows to define bases. With such structure, we prove a similar version for the basis extension theorem of linear algebra over fields.…
Erd\H{o}s first introduced the idea of covering systems in 1950. Since then, much of the work in this area has concentrated on identifying covering systems that meet specific conditions on their moduli. Among the central open problems in…
Work in progress concerning alternative formalizations of arithmetic.
We give necessary conditions for perfection of some families of odd numbers with special multiplicative forms. Extending earlier work of Steuerwald, Kanold, McDaniel et al.
This is a survey of old and new problems and results in additive number theory.
In this paper we use computational methods to disprove a conjecture by Alaoglu and Erd\H{o}s regarding the superabundant numbers.
In our effort to find an arithmetically pure proof of the Bertrand postulate, we investigate and solve (using only elementary arithmetical methods) another less usual inequality in positive integers inspired by the classical proof of the…
This is an expository article to accompany my two lectures at the CDM conference. I have used this an excuse to make public two sets of notes I had lying around, and also to put together a short reader's guide to some recent joint work with…
The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…
We provide empirical evidence for the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture by improving computational bounds to $10^{18}$ and by evaluating the solution-counting function $f(p)$ for this conjecture.
We prove that no ball admits a non-harmonic orthogonal basis of exponentials. We use a combinatorial result, originally studied by Erd\H os, which says that the number of distances determined by $n$ points in ${\Bbb R}^d$ is at least $C_d…
