Let $f(n)=\min_{p} |n-p|$, where $p$ is a prime. We show that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that for any large integer $N$ there exist two positive integers $n_1$ and $n_2$ such that $N=n_1 + n_2$ and $f(n_i)\gg \ln N (\ln\ln…

It is proven that, in any given base, there are infinitely many palindromic numbers having at most six prime divisors, each relatively large. The work involves equidistribution estimates for the palindromes in residue classes to large…

The number of ad-nilpotent ideals of the Borel subalgebra of the classical Lie algebra of type B_n is determined using combinatorial arguments involving a generalization of Dyck-paths. We also solve a similar problem for the untwisted…

Let G be a finite group of order n and V an irreducible representation over the complex numbers of dimension d. For some nonnegative number e, we have n=d(d+e). If e is small, then the character of V has unusually large degree. We fix e and…

Understanding the distribution of digits in the expansions of perfect powers in different bases is difficult. Rather than consider the asymptotic digit distributions, we consider the base-10 digits of a restricted sequence of powers of two.…

Let X be a k-dimensional simplicial complex such that the (k-j-2)-dimensional homology of the links of all j-dimensional simplices in X vanishes. An upper bound is given on the (k-1)-th Betti number of X. Examples based on sum complexes…

In this article, we study the relationship between notions of depth for sequences, namely, Bennett's notions of strong and weak depth, and deep $\Pi^0_1$ classes, introduced by the authors and motivated by previous work of Levin. For the…

The purpose of this paper is to present a syatemic study of some familes of higher-order Euler numbers and polynomials. In particular, by using the basis property of higher-order Euler polynomials for the space of polynomials of degree less…

We will describe an algorithm to arrange all the positive and negative integer numbers. This array of numbers permits grouping them in six different Classes, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\epsilon$, and $\zeta$. Particularly,…

Very little is known on the Hilbert series of graded algebras $\mathbb C[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(g_1,\ldots,g_r)$, $r>n$, $g_i$ generic form of degree $e_i$, in general. One instance when the series is known, is for $n+1$ forms in $n$ variables,…

A positive integer $n$ is practical if every $m \leq n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. One can generalize the concept of practical numbers by applying an arithmetic function $f$ to each of the divisors of $n$ and…

The power graph of a given finite group is a simple undirected graph whose vertex set is the group itself, and there is an edge between any two distinct vertices if one is a power of the other. In this paper, we find a precise formula to…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. A positive integer $n$ is $k$-\textit{gleeful} if $n$ can be represented as the sum of $k$th powers of consecutive primes. For example, $35=2^3+3^3$ is a $3$-gleeful number, and $195=5^2+7^2+11^2$ is $2$-gleeful.…

Let $\pi$ be a factor code from a one dimensional shift of finite type $X$ onto an irreducible sofic shift $Y$. If $\pi$ is finite-to-one then the number of preimages of a typical point in $Y$ is an invariant called the degree of $\pi$. In…

A set A of positive integers is called a h-bais of [0,n] if each integer in [0,n]is a sum of no more than h members of A. In this paper, we will give a new construction for h-basis.

Let $ \{P_{n}\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Padovan numbers defined by $ P_0=0 $, $ P_1 =1=P_2$ and $ P_{n+3}= P_{n+1} +P_n$ for all $ n\geq 0 $. In this paper, we find all repdigits in base $ 10 $ which can be written as a sum of three…

We present a new sieve that allows us to find the prime numbers by using only regular patterns and, more importantly, avoiding any duplication of elements between them.

A k-gap is a finite k-sequence of pairwise disjoint monotone families of infinite subsets of N mixed in such a way that we cannot find a partition of N such that each family is trival on one piece of the partition. We prove that, relative…

Place value numbers, such as the binary or decimal numbers can be represented by the end vertices (leaf or pendant vertices) of rooted symmetrical trees. Numbers that consist of at most a fixed number of digits are represented by vertices…

A generic computation of a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{N}$ is a computation which correctly computes most of the bits of $A$, but which potentially does not halt on all inputs. The motivation for this concept is derived from complexity theory,…
