In this note, we prove that there is no number with the Lehmer property in the sequences of Jaconsthsl or Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers.

A composite positive integer n is Lehmer if \phi(n) divides n-1, where \phi(n) is the Euler's totient function. No Lehmer number is known, nor has it been proved that they don't exist. In 2007, the second author [7] proved that there is no…

Here, we show that there is no positive integer $n$ such that the $n$th Cullen number $C_n=n2^n+1$ has the property that it is composite but $\phi(C_n)\mid C_n-1$.

We construct fields of algebraic numbers that have the Lehmer property but not the Bogomolov property. This answers a recent implicit question of Pengo and the first author.

In this paper, we show that the only Pell numbers whose Euler function is also a Pell number are $1$ and $2$.

We solve Pell's equation in a simple way without continued fractions or irrational numbers, and relate the algorithm to the Stern Brocot tree.

This note concerns the non-existence of three consecutive powerful numbers. We use Pell equations, elliptic curves, and second-order recurrences to show that there are no such triplets with the middle term a perfect cube and each of the…

The set of Salem numbers is proved to be bounded from below by $\theta_{31}^{-1}= 1.08544\ldots$ where $\theta_{n}$, $ n \geq 2$, is the unique root in $(0,1)$ of the trinomial $-1+x+x^n$. Lehmer's number $1.176280\ldots$ belongs to the…

We define the Helly number of a polyomino $P$ as the smallest number $h$ such that the $h$-Helly property holds for the family of symmetric and translated copies of $P$ on the integer grid. We prove the following: (i) the only polyominoes…

In the present paper we introduce old and new results related to St\"ormer theorem about Pell equations. Moreover we give four types of applications of these results.

In this paper we introduce a new sequence of polynomials, which follow the same recursive rule of the well-known Lucas-Lehmer integer sequence. We show the most important properties of this sequence, relating them to the Chebyshev…

It is well-known that for any non-constant polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients the sequence $(P(n))_{ n\in \mathbb N}$ has the property that there are infinitely many prime numbers dividing at least one term of this sequence.…

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…

A natural number $n$ is called a repdigit if all its digits are same. In this paper, we prove that Euler totient function of no Pell number is a repdigit with at least two digits. This study is also extended to certain subclass of…

In this paper we derive congruences expressing Bell numbers and derangement numbers in terms of each other modulo any prime.

Cabello proved Bell's theorem without using inequalities. A loophole of Cabello's proof is pointed out in this work.

The notion of generalized Bell numbers has appeared in several works but there is no systematic treatise on this topic. In this paper we fill this gap. We discuss the most important combinatorial, algebraic and analytic properties of these…

In the paper, we generalize some congruences of Lehmer for general composite numbers.

We study new identities related to the sums of adjacent terms in the Pell sequence, defined by $P_{n} := 2P_{n-1}+P_{n-2}$ for $ n\geq 2$ and $P_{0}=0, P_{1}=1$, and generalize these identities for many similar sequences. We prove that the…

In this paper, generalized Bell polynomials $(\Be_n^\phi)_n$ associated to a sequence of real numbers $\phi=(\phi_i)_{i=1}^\infty$ are introduced. Bell polynomials correspond to $\phi_i=0$, $i\ge 1$. We prove that when $\phi_i\ge 0$, $i\ge…
