For a nonzero integer $a$ let ${E_n^{(a)}}$ be given by $\sum_{k=0}^{[n/2]}\binom n{2k}a^{2k}E_{n-2k}^{(a)}=(1-a)^n$ $(n=0,1,2,...)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. As $E_n^{(1)}=E_n$ is the Euler number, $E_n^{(a)}$…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

For an integer $k\ge2$, a tuple of $k$ positive integers $(M_i)_{i=1}^{k}$ is called an amicable $k$-tuple if the equation \[ \sigma(M_1)=\cdots=\sigma(M_k)=M_1+\cdots+M_k \] holds. This is a generalization of amicable pairs. An amicable…

Denote by $\tau$ k (n), $\omega$(n) and $\mu$ 2 (n) the number of representations of n as product of k natural numbers, the number of distinct prime factors of n and the characteristic function of the square-free integers, respectively. Let…

Let $a$ and $m>0$ be integers. We show that for any integer $b$ relatively prime to $m$, the set $\{a^n+bn:\ n=1,\ldots,m^2\}$ contains a complete system of residues modulo $m$. We also pose several conjectures for further research; for…

We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…

As a well-known enumerative problem, the number of solutions of the equation $m=m_1+...+m_k$ with $m_1\leqslant...\leqslant m_k$ in positive integers is $\Pi(m,k)=\sum_{i=0}^k\Pi(m-k,i)$ and $\Pi$ is called the additive partition function.…

Let n and k be positive integers with and k < n. Then of course SU(k,1) is contained into SU(n,1). Moreover, which is less clear - but proved by Khoroshkin -, the representation theory of SU(k,1) at the generalized infinitesimal character…

We construct a $k$-fold $q$-series as a generating function of $k$-regular partitions for each positive integer $k$. The $k=1$ case is one of Euler's $q$-series identities pertaining to the partitions into distinct parts. The construction…

Recently, Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar introduced the concept of $k$-measure of an integer partition, and proved a surprising identity that the number of partitions of $n$ which have $2$-measure $m$ is equal to the number of…

We derive new formulas for the number of unordered (distinct) factorizations with $k$ parts of a positive integer $n$ as sums over the partitions of $k$ and an auxiliary function, the number of partitions of the prime exponents of $n$,…

Let R be a unital commutative ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module that is generated by $k$ elements but not less. Let $E_n(R)$ be the subgroup of $GL_n(R)$ generated by the elementary matrices. In this paper we study the action of $E_n(R)$ by…

Let $F$ be a number field, $k$ a positive integer. In this paper, we define the Mobius and Liouville functions of order $k$ in $F$. We give a formula about the partial sums of them by using elementary number theory and complex analysis.…

One of the fundamental theorems of uniform distribution theory states that the fractional parts of the sequence $(n \alpha)_{n \geq 1}$ are uniformly distributed modulo one (u.d. mod 1) for every irrational number $\alpha$. Another…

Let $\Uq$ be a quantum group. Regarding a (noncommutative) space with $\Uq$-symmetry as a $\Uq$-module algebra $A$, we may think of equivariant vector bundles on $A$ as projective $A$-modules with compatible $\Uq$-action. We construct an…

Let R be a ring and n,k be two non-negative integers. As an extension of several known notions, we introduce and study (n,k)-weak cotorsion modules using the class of right R-modules with n-weak flat dimensions at most k. Various examples…

In this note, we represent integers in a type of factoradic notation. Rather than use the corresponding Lehmer code, we will view integers as permutations. Given a pair of integers n and k, we give a formula for n mod k in terms of the…

Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers. Let $c\phi_{k}(n)$ denote the number of $k$-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$ and $\mathrm{C}\Phi_k(q)$ be the generating function of $c\phi_{k}(n)$. In this article, we study…

In this work, we study the generalized k-th power symbol (a/n)_k and present a comprehensive collection of its algebraic properties. The results are classified according to their dependence on the three main parameters a, n, and k. In…

We prove the following theorem: for all positive integers $b$ there exists a positive integer $k$, such that for every finite set $A$ of integers with cardinality $|A| > 1$, we have either $$ |A + ... + A| \geq |A|^b$$ or $$ |A \cdot ...…
