We characterize those $k$-automatic sets $S$ of natural numbers that form an additive basis for the natural numbers, and we show that this characterization is effective. In addition, we give an algorithm to determine the smallest $j$ such…

In formal languages and automata theory, the magic number problem can be formulated as follows: for a given integer n, is it possible to find a number d in the range [n,2^n] such that there is no minimal deterministic finite automaton with…

Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…

A permutiple is a natural number whose representation in some base, $b>1$, is an integer multiple of a number whose base-$b$ representation has the same collection of digits. Previous efforts have made progress in finding such numbers using…

Let $b \geq 3$ be a positive integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$b$ Zuckerman number if it is divisible by the product of its base-$b$ digits. Let $\mathcal{Z}_b(x)$ be the set of base-$b$ Zuckerman numbers that do not exceed…

Copeland and Erd\H{o}s showed that the concatenation of primes when written in base $10$ yields a real number that is normal to base $10$. We generalize this result to Pisot number bases in which all integers have finite expansion.

In this paper it was shown that all prime numbers lie on 96 half-lines. At the same time, it was shown that if a given number does not lie on any of the above half-lines, then it is a composite number. A corresponding linear mathematical…

In this work, we established symmetric representation of numbers where one can use any of 9 digits giving the same number. The representations of natural numbers from 0 to 1000 are given using only single digit in all the nine cases, i.e.,…

Defined by Borel, a real number is normal to an integer base $b$, greater than or equal to $2$, if in its base-$b$ expansion every block of digits occurs with the same limiting frequency as every other block of the same length. We consider…

Let $L=(L_d)_{d \in \mathbb N}$ be any ordered probability sequence, i.e., satisfying $0 < L_{d+1} \le L_d$ for each $d \in \mathbb N$ and $\sum_{d \in \mathbb N} L_d =1$. We construct sequences $A = (a_i)_{i \in \mathbb N}$ on the…

The set of prime numbers has been analyzed, based on their algebraic and arithmetical structure. Here by obtaining a sort of linear formula for the set of prime numbers, they are redefined and identified; under a systematic procedure it has…

We show that there exist exactly 203 positive integers $N$ such that for some integer $d \geq 2$ this number is a $d$-digit palindrome base 10 as well as a $d$-digit palindrome for some base $b$ different from 10. To be more precise, such…

A base-$g$ Niven number is a natural number divisible by the sum of its base-$g$ digits. We show that, for any $g\geq 3$, all sufficiently large natural numbers can be written as the sum of three base-$g$ Niven numbers. We also give an…

We investigate the problem of finding integers $k$ such that appending any number of copies of the base-ten digit $d$ to $k$ yields a composite number. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many integers coprime to all digits…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…

We create a simple test for distinguishing between sets of primes and random numbers using just the sum-of-digits function. We find that the sum-of-the-digits of prime numbers does not have an equal probability of being odd or even. The…

Logarithmic gaps have been used in order to find a periodic component of the sequence of prime numbers, hidden by a random noise (stochastic or chaotic). The recovered period for the sequence of the first 10000 prime numbers is equal to…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

The natural numbers divisible by the Prime Factors 2, 3, 5, 11, 13 and 17 lie on defined spiral graphs, which run through the Square Root Spiral. A mathematical analysis shows, that these spiral graphs are defined by specific quadratic…

This work is meant to demonstrate new class of prime numbers -- cyclic prime numbers, that can be derived from any prime number at certain numeric systems. Cyclic prime numbers are also related to the cyclic numbers and full reptend prime…
