In this paper, we extend recent results about the distribution of even and odd gaps of a numerical semigroup. We find that, for any numerical semigroup, the distribution can be computed in terms of the numbers of or the sums of odd and even…

We introduce a finite difference and $q$-difference analogues of the Asymptotic Iteration Method of Ciftci, Hall, and Saad. We give necessary, and sufficient condition for the existence of a polynomial solution to a general linear…

We develop the theory of $p$-adic confluence of $q$-difference equations. The main result is the surprising fact that, in the $p$-adic framework, a function is solution of a differential equation if and only if it is solution of a…

Relation between two properties of linear difference equations with infinite delay is investigated: (i) exponential stability, (ii) $\l^p$-input $\l^q$-state stability (sometimes is called Perron's property). The latter means that solutions…

Assume that $n$ is a positive integer, $p_{j}$ ($j=1,2, \cdots, 6)$ are polynomials, $p$ is an irreducible polynomial, and $f$ is an entire function on $\mathbb{C}^{n}.$ Let $ L(f)=\sum_{j=1}^s q_{t_j}f_{z_{t_j}}$ and…

In this article, a system of Yang-Baxter-type matrix equations is studied, $XAX=BXB$, $XBX=AXA$, which "generalizes" the matrix Yang-Baxter equation and exhibits a broken symmetry. We investigate the solutions of this system from various…

The aim of the paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of the $L^{p}$--variational solution, with $p>1,$ of the following multivalued backward stochastic differential equation with $p$--integrable data: \begin{equation*} \left\{…

Given an algebraic differential equation of order greater than one, it is shown that if there is any nontrivial algebraic relation amongst any number of distinct nonalgebraic solutions, along with their derivatives, then there is already…

We give a systematic study of q-algebraic equations. The questions of existence, uniqueness and regularity of the solutions are solved in the space of grid-based Hahn series. The regularity is understood in terms of asymptotic behavior of…

For every prime number p and integer $n>1$, a simple, involutive, non-degenerate set-theoretic solution $(X,r$) of the Yang-Baxter equation of cardinality $|X| = p^n$ is constructed. Furthermore, for every non-(square-free) positive integer…

In 2014, Wang and Cai established the following harmonic congruence for any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $r$, \begin{equation*} Z(p^{r})\equiv-2p^{r-1}B_{p-3} ~(\bmod ~ p^{r}), \end{equation*} where $…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

We define an extension of parity from the integers to the rational numbers. Three parity classes are found -- even, odd and `none'. Using the 2-adic valuation, we partition the rationals into subgroups with a rich algebraic structure. The…

If a function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ can be represented as the sum of $n$ periodic functions as $f=f_1+\dots+f_n$ with $f(x+\alpha_j)=f(x)$ ($j=1,\dots,n$), then it also satisfies a corresponding $n$-order difference equation…

We consider positive solutions of the following elliptic Hamiltonian systems \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u+u&=a(x)v^{p-1}~~~\text{in}~~A_R\\ -\Delta v+v&=b(x)u^{q-1}~~~\text{in}~~A_R~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(0.1)\\ u,…

We establish the existence of strong solutions to a class of nonlinear strongly coupled and uniform elliptic systems consisting of more than two equations. The existence of of nontrivial and non constant solutions (or pattern formations)…

In this paper we consider the recurrent equation $$\Lambda_{p+1}=\frac1p\sum_{q=1}^pf\bigg(\frac{q}{p+1}\bigg)\Lambda_{q}\Lambda_{p+1-q}$$ for $p\ge 1$ with $f\in C[0,1]$ and $\Lambda_1=y>0$ given. We give conditions on $f$ that guarantee…

Given any polynomial $p$ in $C[X]$, we show that the set of irreducible matrices satisfying $p(A)=0$ is finite. In the specific case $p(X)=X^2-nX$, we count the number of irreducible matrices in this set and analyze the arising sequences…

In this paper, we study a Ramsey-type problem for equations of the form $ax+by=p(z)$. We show that if certain technical assumptions hold, then any 2-colouring of the positive integers admits infinitely many monochromatic solutions to the…

An old question in Ramsey theory asks whether any finite coloring of the natural numbers admits a monochromatic pair $\{x+y,xy\}$. We answer this question affirmatively in a strong sense by exhibiting a large new class of non-linear…
