In this methodological paper, we first review the classic cubic Diophantine equation $a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = d^3$, and consider the specific class of solutions $q_1^3 + q_2^3 + q_3^3 = q_4^3$ with each $q_i$ being a binary quadratic form. Next…
We have studied several generalizations of Fibonacci sequences as the sequences with arbitrary initial values, the addition of two and more Fibonacci subsequences and Fibonacci polynomials with arbitrary bases. For Fibonacci numbers with…
We derive the Cardano formula of cubic equations by completing the cube, and provide radical solutions to some algebraic equations of higher degree by completing powers. The main idea of completing powers arises from Harrison's center…
In this paper, we obtain a general expression for the entries of the lth (l is integer) powers of even order (2k+1)-diagonal Toeplitz matrices. Additionally, we have the complex factorizations of Fibonacci polynomials.
We show that, if an integer sequence is given by a linear recurrence of constant rational coefficients, then it can be represented as the difference of two arithmetic terms with exponentiation, which do not contain any irrational constant.…
The theory of formal power series and derivation is developed from the point of view of the power matrix. A Loewner equation for formal power series is introduced. We then show that the matrix exponential is surjective onto the group of…
In this study, we apply the binomial transforms to Tribonacci and Tribonacci-Lucas sequences. Also, the Binet formulas, summations, generating functions of these transforms are found using recurrence relations. Finally, we illustrate the…
We present an explicit formula of the powers for the $2\times 2$ quantum matrices, that is a natural quantum analogue of the powers of the usual $2\times 2$ matrices. As applications, we give some non-commutative relations of the entries of…
In this note, we establish a new closed formula for the solution of homogeneous second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients by using matrix theory. This, in turn, gives new closed formulas concerning all sequences of…
Let $f_1,...,f_d$ be an orthogonal basis for the space of cusp forms of even weight $2k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $L(f_i,s)$ and $L(f_i,\chi,s)$ denote the $L$-function of $f_i$ and its twist by a Dirichlet character $\chi$, respectively. In…
The Tribonacci sequence $\mathbb{T}$ is the fixed point of the substitution $\sigma(a)=ab$, $\sigma(b)=ac$, $\sigma(c)=a$. The prefix of $\mathbb{T}$ of length $n$ is denoted by $\mathbb{T}[1,n]$. The main result is threefold, we give: (1)…
We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…
Let $(F_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. For all integers $a$ and $b \geq 1$ with $\gcd(a, b) = 1$, let $[a^{-1} \!\bmod b]$ be the multiplicative inverse of $a$ modulo $b$, which we pick in the usual set of…
We study the arithmetic behavior of self-powers $x^x$ when $x$ is a Liouville number. Using recent ideas on strengthened Liouville approximation, we develop flexible constructions that illuminate how transcendence, Liouville properties, and…
In this work, we made a generalization that includes all bicomplex Fibonacci-like numbers such as; Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, etc.. We named this generalization as bicomplex Horadam numbers. For bicomplex Fibonacci and Lucas numbers we gave…
In this article, we present a trick around Fibonacci numbers which can be found in several magic books. It consists in computing quickly the sum of the successive terms of a Fibonacci-like sequence. We give explanations and extensions of…
In 1960, Sierpi\'nski proved that there exist infinitely many odd positive integers $k$ such that $k\cdot 2^n+1$ is composite for all positive integers $n$. In this paper, we prove some generalizations of Sierpi\'nski's theorem with $2^n$…
In this paper we present and analyse a construction of irreducible polynomials over odd prime fields via the transforms which take any polynomial $f \in \mathbf{F}_p[x]$ of positive degree $n$ to $\left(\frac{x}{k} \right)^n \cdot…
This paper proposes an elementary solution to a special case of finding all perfect squares that can be written as sum of consecutive integer cubes. It is shown that there are no non-trivial solutions if the perfect square is a prime power,…
Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…
