In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of generalized heptagonal numbers with a prescribed number of repeats of each heptagonal number appearing in the sum. In particular, we investigate the classification of such…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…

Jagy and Kaplansky exhibited a table of 68 pairs of positive definite binary quadratic forms that represent the same odd primes and conjectured that this list is complete outside of "trivial" pairs. In this article, we find all pairs of…

Classifications of twin primes are established and then applied to triplets that generalize to all higher multiplets. Mersenne and Fermat twins and triplets are treated in this framework. Regular prime number multiplets are related to…

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.…

Transversal structures (also known as regular edge labelings) are combinatorial structures defined over 4-connected plane triangulations with quadrangular outer-face. They have been intensively studied and used for many applications…

For $ k \geq 2 $, let $ A = (a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{k}) $ be a $k$-tuple of positive integers with $\gcd(a_{1}, a_2, \ldots, a_k) = 1$. For a non-negative integer $s$, the generalized Frobenius number of $A$, denoted as $\mathtt{g}(A;s) =…

If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

Normal forms for logic programs under stable/answer set semantics are introduced. We argue that these forms can simplify the study of program properties, mainly consistency. The first normal form, called the {\em kernel} of the program, is…

We consider the problem of finding integer triangles with $R/r$ a positive rational, where $R$ and $r$ are the radii of the circumcircle and an excircle, respectively. We show that for general triangles $R/r>1/4$ applies. The equation…

In this note we characterize all regular tetrahedra whose vertices in R^3 have integer coordinates. The main result is a consequence of the characterization of all equilateral triangles having integer coordinates contained in previous work.…

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of at most four distinct $m$-gonal numbers (allowing a fixed number of repeats of each polygonal number occurring in the sum). We show that the number of such representations…

A cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd primes. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Here we…

We give some new canonical representations for forms over $\cc$. For example, a general binary quartic form can be written as the square of a quadratic form plus the fourth power of a linear form. A general cubic form in $(x_1,...,x_n)$ can…

We say a positive integer is a sum of three nonunit squares if it is a sum of three squares of integers other than one. In this article, we find all integers which are sums of three nonunit squares assuming that the Generalized Riemann…

For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.

The question of which triangular numbers have a decimal representation containing a single repeated digit seamed to be settled since at least the 1970s: Ballew and Weger provided a complete list and a proof that these are the only numbers…

Defined by Borel, a real number is normal to an integer base $b$, greater than or equal to $2$, if in its base-$b$ expansion every block of digits occurs with the same limiting frequency as every other block of the same length. We consider…

A Tangle is a smooth simple closed curve formed from arcs (or ``links'') of circles with fixed radius. Most previous study of Tangles has dealt with the case where these arcs are quarter-circles, but Tangles comprised of thirds and sixths…
