Let $g \geq 2$ be an integer. A natural number is said to be a base-$g$ Niven number if it is divisible by the sum of its base-$g$ digits. Assuming Hooley's Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that the set of base-$g$ Niven numbers is an additive…
In this note, we show the existence of integer sequences of lengths at least 3 (except 7) such that for every integer in position $i\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ (respectively position $j\equiv 3\pmod{4}$), counting from left to right, the sum of the…
We examine what integers are representable as sums of three cubes. We also provide formulas for the number of representations of $x^3+y^3+z^3=n$ under the condition $x+y+z=t$. Also we show how the problem of three cubes is related to…
A method is developed for calculating effective sums of divergent series. This approach is a variant of the self-similar approximation theory. The novelty here is in using an algebraic transformation with a power providing the maximal…
Given a periodic function $f$, we study the almost everywhere and norm convergence of series $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k f(kx)$. As the classical theory shows, the behavior of such series is determined by a combination of analytic and number…
We show various supercongruences for truncated series which involve central binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. The corresponding infinite series are also evaluated.
An approach is suggested defining effective sums of divergent series in the form of self-similar exponential approximants. The procedure of constructing these approximants from divergent series with arbitrary noninteger powers is developed.…
We note that if a sequence of real numbers converges to some limit, then the sequence of the corresponding strings in the surreal $+,-$ sign expansion representation converges, for a natural notion of string convergence, to the string…
The divergence of the harmonic series is proved by direct comparison with a series whose nth partial sum telescopes to the natural logarithm of n. The key idea is to apply the classical inequality x>=log(1+x) (valid for x>-1) with x=1/k and…
The paper solves the problems of determining the asymptotics of the number of primes and the sums of functions of primes in a subset of the natural series that satisfies the conditions that the asymptotic density of the number of primes in…
The proofs that the real numbers are denumerable will be shown, i.e., that there exists one-to-one correspondence between the natural numbers $N$ and the real numbers $\Re$. The general element of the sequence that contains all real numbers…
In this short note, we establish some identities containing sums of binomials with coefficients satisfying third order linear recursive relations. As a result and in particular, we obtain general forms of earlier identities involving…
It is a classical fact that every $n$-element set of positive reals has at least $\binom{n+1}{2}+1$ distinct subset sums, with equality exactly for homogeneous arithmetic progressions (when $n\geq 4$). We establish stability versions of…
In this paper, we prove certain theorems about three consecutive primes.
We show that a real sequence $x$ is convergent if and only if there exist a regular matrix $A$ and an $F_{\sigma\delta}$-ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $\mathbf{N}$ such that the set of subsequences $y$ of $x$ for which $Ay$ is…
The $S$-adic conjecture claims that there exists a condition $C$ such that a sequence has a sub-linear complexity if and only if it is an $S$-adic sequence satisfying Condition $C$ for some finite set $S$ of morphisms. We present an…
A set of simple exactly solvable potentials are shown to have convergent WKB series. The resulting all-orders quantisation conditions provide a unified description of all known cases where an exact WKB quantisation condition has been…
Given a sequence $(X_n)$ of real or complex random variables and a sequence of numbers $(a_n)$, an interesting problem is to determine the conditions under which the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n X_n$ is almost surely convergent. This paper…
We prove a conjecture posted in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, namely that there are exactly five positive integers that can be written in more than one way as the sum of a nonnegative power of 2 and a nonnegative power of 3.…
For integer $g\ge 5$, we prove that any positive integer can be written as a sum of three palindromes in base $g$.
