We answer the question if the continuous product of square matrices $M(t)$ over $t\in [0,1]$ can be correctly defined. The case where all $M(t)$ are taken from a finite set $\Sigma$ is studied. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb N$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb N$ let $N(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2+dw^2$, and let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the…

Let $T_{k}$ be the $k^{\textrm{th}}$ Tribonacci number and $L_{n}$ be the $n^{\textrm{th}}$ Lucas number defined by their respective recurrence relation $T_{k}=T_{k-1}+T_{k-2}+T_{k-3}$ and $L_{n}=L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$. In this study, we solve…

In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then for an admissible $k$-tuple $\mathcal{H}(x) = \{gx + h_j\}_{j=1}^k$ of linear forms in…

For a positive integer $n$, the set of all integers greater than or equal to $n$ is denoted by $\mathcal T(n)$. A sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers $g$ is called tight $\mathcal T(n)$-universal if the set of all nonzero integers…

We prove recursive formulas for sums of squares and sums of triangular numbers in terms of sums of divisors functions and we give a variety of consequences of these formulas. Intermediate applications include statements about positivity of…

For positive integers $a,b,c$, and an integer $n$, the number of integer solutions $(x,y,z) \in \mathbb Z^3$ of $a \frac{x(x-1)}{2} + b \frac{y(y-1)}{2} + c \frac{z(z-1)}{2} = n$ is denoted by $t(a,b,c;n)$. In this article, we prove some…

In this article we introduce a new approach to compute infinite products defined by automatic sequences involving the Thue-Morse sequence. As examples, for any positive integers $q$ and $r$ such that $0 \leq r \leq q-1$, we find infinitely…

A Universal Cycle for t-multisets of [n]={1,...,n} is a cyclic sequence of $\binom{n+t-1}{t}$ integers from [n] with the property that each t-multiset of [n] appears exactly once consecutively in the sequence. For such a sequence to exist…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f(x) := x^{2^n}+1$. In this paper, we study orders of primes dividing products of the form $P_{m,n}:=f(1)f(2)\cdots f(m)$. We prove that if $m > \max\{10^{12},4^{n+1}\}$, then there exists a prime divisor…

Let $F_n$ be the $n$th Fibonacci number. Let $m, n$ be positive integers. Define a sequence $(G(k,n,m))_{k\geq 1}$ by $G(1,n,m) = F^m_n$, and $G(k+1,n,m) = F_{nG(k,n,m)}$ for all $k\geq 1$. We show that $F_n^{k+m-1}\mid G(k,n,m)$ for all…

It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…

Tur\'{a}n number $T(n,5,3)$ is the minimum size of a system of triples out of a base set $X$ of $n$ elements such that every quintuple in $X$ contains a triple from the system. The exact values of $T(n,5,3)$ are known for $n \leq 17$.…

A number $N$ is a triangular number if it can be written as $N = t(t + 1)/2$ for some nonnegative integer number $t$. A triangular number $N$ is called square if it is a perfect square, that is, $N = d^2$ for some integer number $d$. Square…
