Let pi(x) denote the number of primes smaller or equal to x. We compare sqrt{pi}(x) with sqrt{R}(x) and sqrt{li}(x), where R(x) and li(x) are the Riemann function and the logarithmic integral, respectively. We show a regularity in the…
We prove a curious identity for the Bernoulli numbers.
This article studies the poset of simple permutations with respect to the pattern involvement. We specify results on critically indecomposable posets obtained by Schmerl and Trotter to simple permutations and prove that if $\sigma, \pi$ are…
We give an infinite family of congruent number elliptic curves, each with rank at least two, which are related to integral solutions of $m^2=n^2+nl+l^2$.
Galperin introduced an interesting method to learn the digits of $\pi $ by counting the collisions of two billiard balls and a hard wall. This paper studies two quantum versions of the Galperin billiards. It is shown that the digits of $\pi…
Attempting to create a general framework for studying new results on transcendental numbers, this paper begins with a survey on transcendental numbers and transcendence, it then presents several properties of the transcendental numbers $e$…
Let $S_r(p,q)$ be the $r$-associated Stirling numbers of the second kind, the number of ways to partition a set of size $p$ into $q$ subsets of size at least $r$. For $r=1$, these are the standard Stirling numbers of the second kind, and…
We give the connection between three polynomials that generate triangles in The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (A123192, A137396 and A300453). We show that they are related with the bracket polynomial for the (2,n)-torus knot
We describe the results of the computation of aliquot sequences with small starting values. In particular all sequences with starting values less than a million have been computed until either termination occurred (at 1 or a cycle), or an…
Pairs of consecutive integers have the same height in the Collatz problem with surprising frequency. Garner gave a conjectural family of conditions for exactly when this occurs. Our main result is an infinite family of counterexamples to…
A Sidon sequence is a sequence of integers a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < ... with the property that the sums a_i+a_j (i\le j) are distinct. This work contains a survey of Sidon sequences and their generalizations, and an extensive annotated and…
In this article, we considered a fractal image as a fractal curve, that is, as a walk on a grid in Euclidean space $\R^d$. We placed integers on the generating vectors of a grid, such that opposite directions have opposite numbers. This…
P(n,s) denotes the number of permutations of 1,2,...n that have exactly s sequences. Canfield and Wilf [math.CO/0609704] recently showed that P(n,s) can be written as a sum of s polynomials in n. We determine these polynomials explicitly…
We study asymptotic behaviour of graded codimensions of Lie superalgebra $b(2)$. We prove that graded PI-exponent exists and is equal to $3+2\sqrt 3$.
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
The Fibonacci numbers are familiar to all of us. They appear unexpectedly often in mathematics, so much there is an entire journal and a sequence of conferences dedicated to their study. However, there is also another sequence of numbers…
Use of the effective Lagrangian incorporating both the scalar and pseudoscalar mesons gives a possibility to calculate the $\pi \pi$-scattering lengths without attraction of the ChPT theory.
It is a classical fact that the irrationality of a number $\xi\in\mathbb R$ follows from the existence of a sequence $p_n/q_n$ with integral $p_n$ and $q_n$ such that $q_n\xi-p_n\ne0$ for all $n$ and $q_n\xi-p_n\to0$ as $n\to\infty$. In…
An interesting open problem in number theory asks whether it is possible to walk to infinity on primes, where each term in the sequence has one more digit than the previous. In this paper, we study its variation where we walk on the…
The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a,b,c)=(ab,ac,a)$. The main result is twofold: (1) we give the explicit expressions of the numbers of distinct squares and cubes in $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$ (the…
