Let s_1,...,s_d be d positive integers and consider the multiple Hurwitz-zeta value zeta(s_1,...,s_d;-1/2,...,-1/2)/2^w where w=s_1+...+s_d is called the weight. For d<n+1, let T(2n,d) be the sum of all these values with even arguments…

Using a direct algebraic approach we derive convolution identities for second order sequences, hereby distinguishing between sequences obeying the same or different recurrence relations. We also state a general convolution for Horadam…

We consider the reflection identities for harmonic sums at weight four. We decompose a product of two harmonic sums with mixed pole structure into a linear combination of terms each having a pole at either negative or positive values of the…

We introduce an elementary congruence-based procedure to look for q-th power multiples in arbitrary binary recurrence sequences (q>2). The procedure allows to prove that no such multiples exist in many instances.

Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…

We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…

We define reflective numbers and their iterative summations. We provide classification of reflective numbers based on their iterative cyclical limits.

We study the distribution of consecutive sums of two squares in arithmetic progressions. We show that for any odd squarefree modulus $q$, any two reduced congruence classes $a_1$ and $a_2$ mod $q$, and any $r_1,r_2 \ge 1$, a positive…

We discuss reflections identities of harmonic sums up to weight three. The need for this kind of identities emerges in analysis of the general structure of eigenvalue of the BFKL equation. The reflection identities decompose a product of…

A codeword is associated to a linearized polynomial. The weight distribution of the codewords is determined as the linearized polynomial varies in a family of fixed degree. There is a corresponding result on Wenger graphs from linearized…

A new type of combinations of Bernstein operators is given in [1]. Here, we introduce another one, which can be used to approximate the functions with singularities. The direct and inverse results of the weighted approximation of this new…

We show that weighted path orders are special instances of a variant of semantic path orders. Exploiting this fact, we introduce a generalization of weighted path orders that goes beyond the realm of simple termination. Experimental data…

We propose new positive definite kernels for permutations. First we introduce a weighted version of the Kendall kernel, which allows to weight unequally the contributions of different item pairs in the permutations depending on their ranks.…

Let $\{0=w_0<w_1<w_2<\ldots<w_m\}$ be the set of weights of binary Steinhaus triangles of size $n$, and let $W_i$ be the set of sequences in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ that generate triangles of weight $w_i$. We obtain the values of $w_i$ and the…

We study the structure of unit weighing matrices of order n and weights 2, 3 and 4. We show that the number of inequivalent unit weighing matrices UW(n,4) depends on the number of decompositions of n into sums of non-negative multiples of…

Using a general $q$-series expansion, we derive some nontrivial $q$-formulas involving many infinite products. A multitude of Hecke--type series identities are derived. Some general formulas for sums of any number of squares are given. A…

This work is an attempt to classify and quantify instances when a weighted sum of two squares of positive integers, $3n_{1}^2+n_{2}^2$, can be realized in more than one way. Our project was inspired by a particular study of two-dimensional…

We give recurrences, generating functions and explicit exact expressions for the enumeration of fundamental quantities involving runs in binary strings. We first focus on enumerations concerning runs of ones, and we then analyse the same…

We study the generalized and extended weight enumerator of the q-ary Simplex code and the q-ary first order Reed-Muller code. For our calculations we use that these codes correspond to a projective system containing all the points in a…

Let $A\subseteq \mathbb Z_n$ be a subset. A sequence $S=(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ in $\mathbb Z_n$ is said to be an $A$-weighted zero-sum sequence if there exist $a_1,\ldots,a_k\in A$ such that $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_kx_k=0$. By a square, we shall mean a…
