For relatively prime natural numbers $a$ and $b$, we study the two equations $ax+by = (a-1)(b-1)/2$ and $ax+by+1= (a-1)(b-1)/2$, which arise from the study of cyclotomic polynomials. Previous work showed that exactly one equation has a…

The common eigenfunctions of the twisted Cherednik operators can be first analyzed in the limit of $q\longrightarrow 1$. Then, the polynomial eigenfunctions form a simple set originating from the symmetric ground state of non-vanishing…

Akhunzhanov and Shatskov defined the Dirichlet spectrum, corresponding to $m \times n$ matrices and to norms on $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $\mathbb{R}^n$. In case $(m,n) = (2,1)$ and using the Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$, they showed that the…

Using an adaptation of Qin Jiushao's method from the 13th century, it is possible to prove that a system of linear modular equations a(i,1) x(i) + ... + a(i,n) x(n) = b(i) mod m(i), i=1, ..., n has integer solutions if m(i)>1 are pairwise…

We show that the if a sequence of normalized polynomials gives rise to a positive basis of the skein algebra of a surface, then it is sandwiched between the two types of Chebyshev polynomials. For the closed torus, we show that the…

An (n,d) permutation array (PA) is a set of permutations of length n with the property that the distance (under some metric) between any two permutations in the array is at least d. They became popular recently for communication over power…

Fibonacci chains are special diatomic, harmonic chains with uniform nearest neighbour interaction and two kinds of atoms (mass-ratio $r$) arranged according to the self-similar binary Fibonacci sequence $ABAABABA...$, which is obtained by…

Generalization of the Euler polynomials ${{A}_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x \right)}^{n+1}}\sum\nolimits_{m=0}^{\infty }{{{m}^{n}}{{x}^{m}}}$ are the polynomials ${{\alpha }_{n}}\left( x \right)={{\left( 1-x…

Update: This work reproduces an earlier result of Peck, which the author was initially unaware of. The method of the proof is essentially the same as the original work of Peck. There are no new results. We show that the sum of squares of…

By using the work of Frantzikinakis and Wierdl, we can see that for all $d\in\mathbb{N}$, $\alpha\in(d,d+1)$, and integers $k\ge d+2$ and $r\ge1$, there exist infinitely many $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that the sequence…

It is a well known that, for odd $n$, the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$ equals the number of binary necklaces of length $n$. In this paper generalize this result in two directions. On…

A polynomial of degree $n$ in two variables is shown to be uniquely determined by its Radon projections taken over $[n/2]+1$ parallel lines in each of the $(2[(n+1)/2]+1)$ equidistant directions along the unit circle.

A result of Rosenthal says that for every $q>1$ and $n \in \mathbb{N}$ there is $N \in \mathbb{N}$ such that every sequence of $N$ distinct positive numbers contains, after a suitable translation and possible multiplication by $-1$, a…

We consider a notion of uniform thinning for a finite sequence of random variables $(X_1,...,X_n)$ obtained by removing one random variable, uniformly at random. If a triangular array of random variables $(X_{n,k} : n \in \mathbb{N}_+, 1…

In this study linear and nonlinear higher order singularly perturbed problems are examined by a numerical approach, the differential quadrature method. Here, the main idea is using Chebyshev polynomials to acquire the weighting coefficient…

In this paper we give a generalization of Chebyshev polynomials and using this we describe the M\"obius function of the generalized subword order from a poset {a1,...as,c |ai<c}, which contains an affirmative answer for the conjecture by…

For a polynomial P, we consider the sequence of iterated integrals of ln P(x). This sequence is expressed in terms of the zeros of P(x). In the special case of ln(1 + x^2), arithmetic properties of certain coefficients arising are…

We introduce and study the generalized cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_{A,S,n}(x)$ associated with a regular system $A$ of divisors and an arbitrary set $S$ of positive integers. We show that all of these polynomials have integer coefficients,…

We characterize the generalized Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind (Chebyshev-II), and then we provide a closed form of the generalized Chebyshev-II polynomials using the Bernstein basis. These polynomials can be used to describe the…

Consider the sequence $\mathcal{V}(2,n)$ constructed in a greedy fashion by setting $a_1 = 2$, $a_2 = n$ and defining $a_{m+1}$ as the smallest integer larger than $a_m$ that can be written as the sum of two (not necessarily distinct)…
