We consider the existence of robust strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA's) in a simple class of quasiperiodically forced systems. Rigorous results are presented demonstrating that the resulting attractors are strange in the sense that their…

In the present paper we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $x^2+y^2+1$, $x^2+y^2+2$. We also give an asymptotic formula for the number of pairs of positive integers $x, y \leq H$ such that…

By some SL(2, Z) modular forms introduced in [11] and [4] , we get some interesting anomaly cancellation formulas. As corollaries, we get some divisibility results of index of twisted Dirac operators.

The paper containes a classification of consistent free string models in physical dimensions and a brief discussion of recent results concerning relations between various models.

A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a representation of $n$ as a sum of a finite number of positive integers (called parts). A trapezoidal number is a positive integer that has a partition whose parts are a decreasing sequence of…

In this paper, we study partitions of positive integers with restrictions involving squares. We mainly establish the following two results (which were conjectured by Sun in 2013): (i) Each positive integer $n$ can be written as $n=x+y+z$…

In 2017, Michael Cuntz gave a definition of reducibility of quiddity cycles of frieze patterns: It is reducible if it can be written as a sum of two other quiddity cycles. We discuss the commutativity and associativity of this sum operator…

For every positive integer k, it is shown that there exists a positive definite diagonal quaternary integral quadratic form that represents all positive integers except for precisely those which lie in k arithmetic progressions. For k=1,…

This paper gives infinitely many examples of non L-space irreducible integer homology 3-spheres whose fundamental groups do not have nontrivial $\widetilde{PSL_2(\mathbb{R})}$ representations.

We introduce a class of stochastic integer sequences. In these sequences, every element is a sum of two previous elements, at least one of which is chosen randomly. The interplay between randomness and memory underlying these sequences…

Random fuzzy variables join the modeling of the impreciseness (due to their ``fuzzy part'') and randomness. Statistical samples of such objects are widely used, and their direct, numerically effective generation is therefore necessary.…

Let A be a finite set of integers. We prove that if |A| is at least 2 and |A+A| is 3|A|-3, then one of the following is true: 1. A is a bi-arithmetic progression; 2. A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length 2|A|-1; 3. |A| is 6 and A…

Let k_1,...,k_d be positive integers, and D be a subset of [k_1]x...x[k_d], whose complement can be decomposed into disjoint sets of the form {x_1}x...x{x_{s-1}}x[k_s]x{x_{s+1}}x...x{x_d}. We conjecture that the number of elements of D can…

This paper concerns the $p$-adic multiple zeta values of integer indices that may contain zero or negative components. We introduce the admissibility and regularizability conditions for integer indices. We define the $p$-adic multiple zeta…

Three events in a probability space form a conjunctive fork if they satisfy specific constraints on conditional independence and covariances. Patterns of conjunctive forks within collections of events are characterized by means of systems…

Vincular and covincular patterns are generalizations of classical patterns allowing restrictions on the indices and values of the occurrences in a permutation. In this paper we study the integer sequences arising as the enumerations of…

We define a non-commutative version of the $A_1$ T-system, which underlies frieze patterns of the integer plane. This system has discrete conserved quantities and has a particular reduction to the known non-commutative Q-system for $A_1$.…

Suppose $k$ is a positive integer. In this work, we establish formulas for for the number of representations of integers by the quadratic forms $$ x_{1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{k}^{2}+l\left(x_{k+1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{2k}^{2}\right) $$ for $l\in\{2,4\}$.

We extend results of Jagy and Kaplansky and the present authors and show that for all $k\geq 3$ there are infinitely many positive integers $n$, which cannot be written as $x^2+y^2+z^k=n$ for positive integers $x,y,z$, where for…

Under what circumstances might every extension of a combinatorial structure contain more copies of another one than the original did? This property, which we call prolificity, holds universally in some cases (e.g., finite linear orders) and…
