We prove that the greatest positive integer that is not expressible as a linear combination with integer coefficients of elements of the set $\{n^2,(n+1)^2,\ldots \}$ is asymptotically $O(n^2)$, verifying thus a conjecture of Dutch and…
We solve general 1-matrix models without taking the double scaling limit. A method of computing generating functions is presented. We calculate the generating functions for a simple and double torus. Our method is also applicable to more…
We describe a method for bounding the set of exceptional integers not represented by a given additive form in terms of the exceptional set corresponding to a subform. Illustrating our ideas with examples stemming from Waring's problem for…
A composite number $n$ is called a Lehmer number when $\phi(n) | n - 1$, where $\phi$ is the Euler totient function. Lehmer's totient problem asks if there exist any composite numbers $n$ such that $\phi(n)| n-1$? No such numbers are known.…
We present a unified apoach to the study of separable and Frobenius algebras. The crucial observation is thsat both cases are related to the nonlinear equation $R^{12}R^{23}=R^{23}R^{13}=R^{13}R^{12}$, called the FS-equation. Given a…
The Frobenius primality test is based on the properties of the Frobenius automorphism of the quadratic extension of the residue field. Although it is probabilistic, we show that is "very rarely wrong". To date there are no counterexamples…
In the present paper we prove that every sufficiently large odd integer $N$ can be represented in the form \begin{equation*} N=p_1+p_2+p_3\,, \end{equation*} where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are primes, such that $p_1=x^2 + y^2 +1$, $p_2=[n^c]$.
We extend the work of Kannan et al. and derive the cumulant generating function for the alternating mass harmonic chain consisting of N particles and driven by heat reservoirs. The main result is a closed expression for the cumulant…
This is the first of two articles devoted to a exposition of the generating-function method for computing fusion rules in affine Lie algebras. The present paper is entirely devoted to the study of the tensor-product (infinite-level) limit…
In this paper, we present nonlinear differential equations for the generating functions for the Korobov numbers and for the Frobenuius-Euler numbers. As an application, we find an explicit expression for the nth derivative of 1/ log(1 + t).
The product of two unitaries can normally be expressed as a single exponential through the famous Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula. We present here a counterexample in quantum optics, by showing that an expression in terms of a single…
Let f be a polynomial of degree n in ZZ[x_1,..,x_n], typically reducible but squarefree. From the hypersurface {f=0} one may construct a number of other subschemes {Y} by extracting prime components, taking intersections, taking unions, and…
The inverse problem for representation functions takes as input a triple (X,f,L), where X is a countable semigroup, f : X --> N_0 \cup {\infty} a function, L : a_1 x_1 + ... + a_h x_h an X-linear form and asks for a subset A \subseteq X…
A set of integers is \emph{primitive} if it does not contain an element dividing another. Denote by $f(n)$ the number of maximum-size primitive subsets of $\{1,\ldots, 2n\}$. We prove that the limit $\alpha=\lim_{n\rightarrow…
Let $S\neq\mathbb N$ be a numerical semigroup generated by $e$ elements. In his paper (A Circle-Of-Lights Algorithm for the "Money-Changing Problem", Amer. Math. Monthly 85 (1978), 562--565), H.~S.~Wilf raised the following question: Let…
The following two decision problems capture the complexity of comparing integers or rationals that are succinctly represented in product-of-exponentials notation, or equivalently, via arithmetic circuits using only multiplication and…
In this paper, we prove that every pair of sufficiently large odd integers can be represented in the form of a pair of one prime, four prime cubes and $48$ powers of $2$.
In a recent article a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a sequence of positive numbers was examined. The analysis of the nonnegativeness of the formal expressions was a key-point to allow to give them a statistical…
We generalize the generating series of the Dyson ranks and $M_2$-ranks of overpartitions to obtain $k$-fold variants, and give a combinatorial interpretation of each. The $k$-fold generating series correspond to the full ranks of two…
We study how certain invariants of numerical semigroups relate to the number of second kind gaps. Furthermore, given two fixed non-negative integers F and k, we provide an algorithm to compute all the numerical semigroups whose Frobenius…
