We study numerical integration of functions $f: \mathbb{R}^{s} \to \mathbb{R}$ with respect to a probability measure. By applying the corresponding inverse cumulative distribution function, the problem is transformed into integrating an…

Fillmore Theorem says that if $A$ is a nonscalar matrix of order $n$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and $\gamma_1,\ldots,\gamma_n\in \mathbb{F}$ are such that $\gamma_1+\cdots+\gamma_n=\text{tr} \, A$, then there is a matrix $B$ similar to $A$…

Let $r$, $n$ be positive integers, $k$ be a non-negative integer and $q$ be any prime power such that $r\mid q^n-1.$ An element $\alpha$ of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is called an {\it $r$-primitive} element, if its multiplicative…

In this paper, we investigate zeros of difference polynomials of the form $f(z)^nH(z, f)-s(z)$, where $f(z)$ is a meromorphic function, $H(z, f)$ is a difference polynomial of $f(z)$ and $s(z)$ is a small function. We first obtain some…

Regarding non-unique factorization of integer-valued polynomials over a discrete valuation domain $(R,M)$ with finite residue field, it is known that there exist absolutely irreducible elements, that is, irreducible elements all of whose…

An integer $k$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $k^2x\equiv k$ (mod $n$). This holds true if and only if $k$ possesses a weak order (mod $n$), i.e., there is an integer $m\ge 1$ such that $k^{m+1} \equiv…

We study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…

Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…
