We study rational circular billiards. By viewing the trajectory formed after each reflection point to another inside the circle as the number of circle divisions into regions we derive a general formula for the number of division regions…
In this work we resolve several conjectures stated in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer sequences.
We sometimes need to compute the most significant digits of the product of small integers with a multiplier requiring much storage: e.g., a large integer (e.g., $5^{100}$) or an irrational number ($\pi$). We only need to access the most…
We define a so-called square $k$-zig-zag shape as a part of the regular square grid. Considering the shape as a $k$-zig-zag digraph, we give values of its vertices according to the number of the shortest paths from a base vertex. It…
We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as $p$-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ and $1/\pi^2$, and prove three of these examples.
This paper is concerned with finite sequences of integers that may be written as sums of squares of two nonzero integers. We first find infinitely many integers $n$ such that $n, n+h$ and $n+k$ are all sums of two squares where $h$ and $k$…
In this work, we prove the irrationality of $\pi$ based on the nested radicals with roots of $2$ of kind $c_k = \sqrt{2 + c_{k - 1}}$ and $c_0 = 0$. Sample computations showing how the rational approximation tends to $\pi$ with increasing…
It will be shown a different way to find infinite series for Pi involving complex conjugates.
In this article, we study short intervals that contain another type of "almost square", an integer $n$ which can be factored in two different ways $n = a_1 b_1 = a_2 b_2$ with $a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2$ close to $\sqrt{n}$.
The classic string indexing problem is to preprocess a string S into a compact data structure that supports efficient pattern matching queries. Typical queries include existential queries (decide if the pattern occurs in S), reporting…
The sequence of middle divisors is shown to be unbounded. For a given number $n$, $a_{n,0}$ is the number of divisors of $n$ in between $\sqrt{n/2}$ and $\sqrt{2n}$. We explicitly construct a sequence of numbers $n(i)$ and a list of…
An alternating permutation of length $n$ is a permutation $\pi=\pi_1 \pi_2 ... \pi_n$ such that $\pi_1 < \pi_2 > \pi_3 < \pi_4 > ...$. Let $A_n$ denote set of alternating permutations of ${1,2,..., n}$, and let $A_n(\sigma)$ be set of…
In this paper, we find all integer sequences of the form a^n + b^n, where a and b are complex numbers and n is a nonnegative integer. We prove that if p and q are integers, then there is a correspondence between the roots of the quadratic…
Exponentiating the hypergeometric series gives a recursion relation for integer sequences which are generalizations of conventional Bell numbers. The corresponding associated Stirling numbers of the second kind are also generated and…
Let $\pi$ be a permutation of $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$ and denote by $\ell(\pi)$ the length of a longest increasing subsequence of $\pi$. Let $\ell_{n,k}$ be the number of permutations $\pi$ of $[n]$ with $\ell(\pi)=k$. Chen conjectured that the…
We study two families of sequences, listed in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS), which are associated to invariant theory of Lie algebras. For the first family, we prove combinatorially that the sequences A059710 and…
Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…
By employing certain extended classical summation theorems, several surprising \pi and other formulae are displayed.
In this paper, we give some interesting and new identities of q-Bernoulli numbers which are derived from convolutions on the ring of p-adic integers.
An oscillating sequence of order $d$ is defined by the linearly disjointness from all $\{e^{2\pi i P(n)} \}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ for all real polynomials $P$ of degree smaller or equal to $d$. A fully oscillating sequence is defined to be an…
