We study, through new recurrence relations for certain binomial coefficients modulo a power of a prime, the evolution of the primitives of a modular periodic sequence. We prove that we can reduce to study primitives of constant sequences…

The summatory function of the number of binomial coefficients not divisible by a prime is known to exhibit regular periodic oscillations, yet identifying the less regularly behaved minimum of the underlying periodic functions has been open…

Certain generalization of Euler numbers was defined in 1935 by Lehmer using cubic roots of unity, as a natural generalization of Bernoulli and Euler numbers. In this paper, we define a new polynomial related to the higher-order generalized…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

The author has previously extended the theory of regular and irregular primes to the setting of arbitrary totally real number fields. It has been conjectured that the Bernoulli numbers, or alternatively the values of the Riemann zeta…

In contrast to that a weak value of an observable is usually divided into real and imaginary parts, here we show that separation into modulus and argument is important for modular values. We first show that modular values are expressed by…

A permutation is defined to be cycle-up-down if it is a product of cycles that, when written starting with their smallest element, have an up-down pattern. We prove bijectively and analytically that these permutations are enumerated by the…

The most simple and famous divergent power series coming from ODE may be the so-called Euler series $\sum_{n\ge 0}(-1)^n\,n!\,x^{n+1}$, that, as well as all its positive powers, is Borel-summable in any direction excepted the negative real…

The number of sequences of odd length in strict partitions (denoted as $\mathrm{sol}$), which plays a pivotal role in the first paper of this series, is investigated in different contexts, both new and old. Namely, we first note a direct…

The Morse-Hedlund Theorem states that a bi-infinite sequence $\eta$ in a finite alphabet is periodic if and only if there exists $n\in\N$ such that the block complexity function $P_\eta(n)$ satisfies $P_\eta(n)\leq n$. In dimension two,…

We enumerate total cyclic orders on $\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$ where we prescribe the relative cyclic order of consecutive triples $(i,{i+1},{i+2})$, these integers being taken modulo $n$. In some cases, the problem reduces to the…

For every modulus $q\ge3$, we define a family of subsets $\mathcal{A}$ of the multiplicative group $(\mathbb{Z}/{q}\mathbb{Z})^\times$ for which the Euler product $\prod_{p\text{mod}q\in\mathcal{A}}(1-p^{-s})$ can be computed in double…

Kummer (1851) and, many years later, Ihara (2005) both posed conjectures on invariants related to the cyclotomic field $\mathbb Q(\zeta_q)$ with $q$ a prime. Kummer's conjecture concerns the asymptotic behaviour of the first factor of the…

In this paper we construct $q$-Genocchi numbers and polynomials. By using these numbers and polynomials, we investigate the $q$-analogue of alternating sums of powers of consecutive integers due to Euler.

Let $(a;q)_n=\prod_{0\le k<n}(1-aq^k)$ for n=0,1,2,.... Define q-Euler numbers $E_n(q)$, q-Sali\'e numbers $S_n(q)$ and q-Carlitz numbers $C_n(q)$ as follows: $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}E_n(q)\frac{x^n}{(q,q)_n}…

Continued fraction expansions and Hankel determinants of automatic sequences are extensively studied during the last two decades. These studies found applications in number theory in evaluating irrationality exponents. The present paper is…

Classical studies of the Fibonacci sequence focus on its periodicity modulo $m$ (the Pisano periods) with canonical initialization. We investigate instead the complete periodic structure arising from all $m^2$ possible initializations in…

Allouche and Shallit introduced the notion of a regular power series as a generalization of automatic sequences. Becker showed that all regular power series satisfy Mahler equations and conjectured equivalent conditions for the converse to…

In this paper, we give a conjecture, which generalises Euler's partition theorem involving odd parts and different parts for all moduli. We prove this conjecture for two family partitions. We give $q$-difference equations for the related…

In [Ramanujan J. 52 (2020), 275-290], Romik considered the Taylor expansion of Jacobi's theta function $\theta_3(q)$ at $q=e^{-\pi}$ and encoded it in an integer sequence $(d(n))_{n\ge0}$ for which he provided a recursive procedure to…
