Using the methodology of (rigorous) {\it experimental mathematics}, we give a simple and motivated solution to Zudilin's question concerning a $q$-analog of a problem posed by Asmus Schmidt about a certain binomial coefficients sum. Our…
We prove two identities of Hall-Littlewood polynomials, which appeared recently in a paper by two of the authors. We also conjecture, and in some cases prove, new identities which relate infinite sums of symmetric polynomials and partition…
In this note we observe that automated theorem provers (ATPs) that recursively enumerate theorems in a particular way will fail to identify some valid theorems for a reason that is analogous to how G\"odel proved the existence of what are…
Roger Apery's seminal method for proving irrationality is "turned on its head" and taught to computers, enabling a one second redux of the original proof of zeta(3), and many new irrationality proofs of many new constants, alas, none of…
I attempted to write the full translation of this article to make the remarkable proof of Pierre Deligne available to a greater number of people. Overviews of the proofs can be found elsewhere. I especially recommend the notes of James…
We report on findings of a variant of ${\texttt{IdentityFinder}}$ - a Maple program that was used by two of the authors to conjecture several new identities of Rogers-Ramanujan kind. In the present search, we modify the parametrization of…
We find it absurd that Walliser [1] essentially used the same analysis and obtained identical results as reported in [3], yet arrived at different conclusions. Namely, based on an incomplete theory and using erroneous arguments, he not only…
In this paper we give a computer proof of a new polynomial identity, which extends a recent result of Alladi and the first author. In addition, we provide computer proofs for new finite analogs of Jacobi and Euler formulas. All computer…
We address the conjectures left by the recent article by Ferreira et al. titled ``Commuting maps and identities with inverses on alternative division rings.'' We also present an example showing the necessity of the conditions of the results…
We distinguish finitarily between algorithmic verifiability, and algorithmic computability, to show that Goedel's 'formally' unprovable, but 'numeral-wise' provable, arithmetical proposition [(Ax)R(x)] can be finitarily evidenced as:…
Hou, Krattenthaler, and Sun have introduced two $q$-analogues of a remarkable series for $\pi^2$ due to Guillera, and these $q$-identities were, respectively, proved with the use of a $q$-analogue of a Wilf-Zeilberger pair provided by…
As it follows from G\"odel's incompleteness theorems, any consistent formal system of axioms and rules of inference should imply a true unprovable statement. Actually, this fundamental principle can be efficiently applicable in…
We consider applications of a finitary version of the Affine Representability theorem, which follows from recent work of Belov-Kanel, Rowen, and Vishne. Using this result we are able to show that when given a finite set of polynomial…
We first give a bijective proof of Gould's identity in the model of binary words. Then we deduce Rothe's identity from Gould's identity again by a bijection, which also leads to a double-sum extension of the $q$-Chu-Vandermonde formula.
Although whether P equals NP is an important, open problem in computer science, and although Jaeger's 2008 paper, "Solving the P/NP Problem Under Intrinsic Uncertainty" (arXiv:0811.0463) presents an attempt at tackling the problem by…
When are two algorithms the same? How can we be sure a recently proposed algorithm is novel, and not a minor twist on an existing method? In this paper, we present a framework for reasoning about equivalence between a broad class of…
Let E be a division ring and G a finite group of automorphisms of E whose elements are distinct modulo inner automorphisms of E. Given a representation \rho: B-> GL(d,E) of an F-algebra B, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…
The equivalence problem for unambiguous grammars is an important, but very difficult open question in formal language theory. Consider the \emph{limited} equivalence problem for unambiguous grammars -- for two unambiguous grammars $G_1$ and…
The On-Line Encyclopedia Of Integer Sequences , that wonderful resource that most combinatorialists, and many other mathematicians and scientists, use at least once a day, is a treasure trove of mathematical information, and, one of its…
In this critique, we examine the technical report by Daniel Uribe entitled "P vs. NP." The paper claims to show an exponential lower bound on the runtime of algorithms that decide CLIQUE. We show that the paper's proofs fail to generalize…
