Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

Fix a prime $p >2$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of $p$. Let $m$ be a monic polynomial in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ such that $deg(m)$ is large. Fix an integer $r\geq 2$, and let…

In a multi-base representation of an integer (in contrast to, for example, the binary or decimal representation) the base (or radix) is replaced by products of powers of single bases. The resulting numeral system has desirable properties…

The notion of block divisibility naturally leads one to introduce unitary cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_n^*(x)$. They can be written as certain products of cyclotomic poynomials. We study the case where $n$ has two or three distinct prime…

It is known that any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ is almost regular. On the other words, any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ represents every sufficiently large integer which is locally represented. In this article, we study the…

We show that for any positive integer $h$, either $h$ or $h+1$ is a height of some cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, where $n$ is a product of three distinct primes.

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

Let a_n(k) be the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x). As n ranges over the integers, a_n(k) assumes only finitely many values. For any such value v we determine the density of integers n such that a_n(k)=v. Also we…

We study the number $\nu(n)$ of representations of a positive integer $n$ by the form $x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz$ in the conditions $0\leq x\leq y\leq z; z\geq x+1.$ We proved the following results: (i) for every positive $n,$ except for…

A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…

We say that a cyclotomic polynomial Phi_{n}(x) has order three if n is the product of three distinct primes, p<q<r. Let A(n) be the largest absolute value of a coefficient of Phi_{n}(x) and M(p) be the maximum of A(pqr). In 1968, Sister…

For $m\geq 1$, let $0<b_0<b_1<...<b_m$ and $\ e_0,e_1,...,e_m>0$ be fixed positive integers. Assume there exists a prime $p$ and an integer $t>0$ such that $p^t\mid b_0$, but $p^t\nmid b_{i}\ {\rm for}\ 1\leq i\leq m$. Then, we prove that…

Let $m\ge3$ be an integer. The polygonal numbers of order $m+2$ are given by $p_{m+2}(n)=m\binom n2+n$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. A famous claim of Fermat proved by Cauchy asserts that each nonnegative integer is the sum of $m+2$ polygonal numbers…

For the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, let $A(n)$ denote the greatest absolute value of its coefficients, its height, and let $D(n)$ denote the difference between its largest and smallest coefficients, its diameter. We show that for…

Let $\phi(\cdot)$ and $\sigma(\cdot)$ denote the Euler function and the sum of divisors function, respectively. In this paper, we give a lower bound for the number of positive integers $m\le x$ for which the equation $m=n-\phi(n)$ has no…

We associate some (old) convergent series related to definite integrals with the cyclotomic equation $x^m-1= 0$, for several natural numbers $m$; for example, for $m = 3$, $x^3-1 = (x-1)(1+x+x^2)$, leads to $\int_0^1dx\frac{1}{(1+x+x^2)} =…

For a set $A$ of nonnegative integers, let $R_2(A,n)$ and $R_3(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions to $n=a+a'$ with $a,a'\in A$, $a<a'$ and $a\leq a'$, respectively. In this paper, we prove that, if $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $N$ is a…

We introduce and study the generalized cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_{A,S,n}(x)$ associated with a regular system $A$ of divisors and an arbitrary set $S$ of positive integers. We show that all of these polynomials have integer coefficients,…

We present an elementary identity for the cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_n(X)$ which reflects a kind of multiplicative property of $\Phi_n(X)$ as a function of $n$, and we explore its connections with the properties of other arithmetical…

We consider binomial and inverse binomial sums at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi$ or $\log(2)$. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as specializations of…
