Type-free systems of logic are designed to consistently handle significant instances of self-reference. Some consistent type-free systems also have the feature of allowing the sort of general abstraction or comprehension principle that…
It is well known that the distribution of the prime numbers plays a central role in number theory. It has been known, since Riemann's memoir in 1860, that the distribution of prime numbers can be described by the zero-free region of the…
In this paper we study representations of real numbers in a numeral system with the base $a>1$ and alphabet (digits set) $A\equiv\{0,1,...,r\}$, $a-1<r\in N$ given by \[x=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\alpha_n}{a^n}\equiv…
When are all positions of a game numbers? We show that two properties are necessary and sufficient. These properties are consequences of that, in a number, it is not an advantage to be the first player. One of these properties implies the…
For every finite rank k, k>1, we explicitly construct (2k)! left orders on the free group F_k of rank k. Each order is induced by a word of length 2k in which each generator of F_k and its inverse appear exactly once. For each of these…
This paper is the continuation of \cite{htl}, where we deal with Lucas sequences. Here we study integers represented by integer sequences which satisfy binary recursive relations. In case of non-degenerate sequences we give bounds for the…
Simplification of fractional powers of positive rational numbers and of sums, products and powers of such numbers is taught in beginning algebra. Such numbers can often be expressed in many ways, as this article discusses in some detail.…
This paper introduces combinatorial representations, which generalise the notion of linear representations of matroids. We show that any family of subsets of the same cardinality has a combinatorial representation via matrices. We then…
We show conditions on $k$ such that any number $x$ in the interval $[0, k/2]$ can be represented in the form $x_1^{a_1} x_2^{a_2} + x_3^{a_3} x_4^{a_4} + \cdots + x_{k-1}^{a_{k-1}} x_k^{a_k}$, where the exponents $a_{2i-1}$ and $a_{2i}$ are…
A binary representation of complex rational numbers and their arithmetic is described that is not based on qubits. It takes account of the fact that $0s$ in a qubit string do not contribute to the value of a number. They serve only as place…
We consider the question of which nonconvex sets can be represented exactly as the feasible sets of mixed-integer convex optimization problems. We state the first complete characterization for the case when the number of possible integer…
Prior work has shown that large language models (LLMs) often converge to accurate input embedding for numbers, based on sinusoidal representations. In this work, we quantify that these representations are in fact strikingly systematic, to…
In this note, we give an elementary proof of the following classical fact. Any positive definite ternary quadratic form over the rational numbers fails to represent infinitely many positive integers. For any ternary quadratic form (positive…
The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when…
In this article, we consider the representation of $m$-gonal forms over $\mathbb N_0$. We show that any $m$-gonal forms over $\mathbb N_0$ of rank $\ge 5$ is almost regular and ponder the sufficiently large integers which are indeed…
In this paper we prove that the classical Lie bracket of vector fields can be generalized to the noncommutative setting by antisymmetrizing (in a suitable noncommutative sense) their compositions. This construction turns out to depend on…
We study the modular representation theory of the symmetric and alternating groups. One of the most natural ways to label the irreducible representations of a given group or algebra in the modular case is to show the unitriangularity of the…
The literature on word-representable graphs is quite rich, and a number of variations of the original definition have been proposed over the years. We are initiating a systematic study of such variations based on formal languages. In our…
A new class of Semantic Numeration Systems, namely, positive rational Semantic Numeration Systems is introduced. For cardinal semantic operators, differences in the formation of carry (common carry) and remainders are defined. The…
We establish a total lexicographical order on the set of Motzkin words. Elements are ordered similarly to Natural Numbers in accordance with known rules (axioms). As a result, we were able to obtain arithmetic and logical operations on the…
