In recreational mathematics, a normal magic square is an $n \times n$ square matrix whose entries are distinctly the integers $1 \ldots n^2$, such that each row, column, and major and minor traces sum to one constant $\mu$. It has been…
For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ let $d_n^{(r)}(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{x+r+k}k\binom{x-r}{n-k}$. In this paper we illustrate the connection between $\{d_n^{(r)}(x)\}$ and Meixner polynomials. New formulas and recurrence relations for $d_n^{(r)}(x)$ are…
Dyadic rationals are rationals whose denominator is a power of $2$. We define dyadic $n$-dimensional convex sets as the intersections with $n$-dimensional dyadic space of an $n$-dimensional real convex set. Such a dyadic convex set is said…
A $(p,q,r)$-board that has $pq+pr+qr$ squares consists of a $(p,q)$-, a $(p,r)$-, and a $(q,r)$-rectangle. Let $S$ be the set of the squares. Consider a bijection $f : S \to [1,pq+pr+qr]$. Firstly, for $1 \le i \le p$, let $x_i$ be the sum…
Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean k-space in such a (natu- ral) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. Such drawings will be called k dimensional unit distance representations. When two non-adjacent…
Many mathematicians have been studying various degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers in some arithmetic and combinatorial aspects. Our main focus here is a new type of degenerate poly-Euler polynomials and numbers. This…
In this paper, we consider sums of values of degenerate falling factorials and give a probabilistic proof of a recurrence relation for them. This may be viewed as a degenerate version of the recent probabilistic proofs on sums of powers of…
Let $p$ be a prime and $q=p^e$. We discuss the properties of the reversed Dickson polynomial $D_{n,2}(1,x)$ of the third kind. We also give several necessary conditions for the reversed Dickson polynomial of the third kind $D_{n,2}(1,x)$ to…
In this brief note, we consider p-adic unit roots or poles of L-functions of exponential sums defined over finite fields. In particular, we look at the number of unit roots or poles, and a congruence relation on the units. This raises a…
Higher-dimensional Dedekind sums are defined as a generalization of a recent 1-dimensional probability model of Dilcher and Girstmair to a d-dimensional cube. The analysis of the frequency distribution of marked lattice points leads to new…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper, we study the permutation behaviour of the reversed Dickson polynomials of the $(k+1)$-th kind $D_{n,k}(1,x)$ when $n=p^{l_1}+3$, $n=p^{l_1}+p^{l_2}+p^{l_3}$, and $n=p^{l_1}+p^{l_2}+p^{l_3}+p^{l_4}$,…
The $n^{\text{th}}$ small Schr\"oder number is $s(n) = \sum_{k \geq 0} s(n,k)$, where $s(n,k)$ denotes the number of plane rooted trees with $n$ leaves and $k$ internal nodes that each has at least two children. In this manuscript, we focus…
In combinatorics, a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set, such that no element appears in its original position. The number of derangement of an n-element set is called the nth derangement number. Recently, the degenerate…
Let $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $c \in \mathbb{Z}_k$, where $\mathbb{Z}_1=\mathbb{Z}$. A graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$ is said to be $c$-sum $k$-magic if there is a labeling $\ell:E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_k \setminus \{0\}$ such that $\sum_{u \in…
Gordon and McMahon defined a two-variable greedoid polynomial $ f(G;t,z) $ for any greedoid $ G $. They studied greedoid polynomials for greedoids associated with rooted graphs and rooted digraphs. They proved that greedoid polynomials of…
We introduce and study arithmetic polygons. We show that these arithmetic polygons are connected to triples of square pyramidal numbers. For every odd $N\geq3$, we prove that there is at least one arithmetic polygon with $N$ sides. We also…
In \cite{csc}, Cetin et al. defined a new special finite sum which is denoted by $B_{1}(h,k)$. In this paper, with the help of the Hardy and Dedekind sums we will give many properties of the sum $B_{1}(h,k).$ Then we will give the…
We obtain explicit estimates for the mixed character sum $S= S(\chi,g,f,p^m) = \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi (g(x)) e_{p^m}(f(x))$, where $p^m$ is a prime power, $\chi$ is a multiplicative character mod $p^m$ and $f,g$ are rational functions over…
We study $K$-types of degenerate principal series of ${\rm Sp}(n,\mathbb{C})$ by using two realisations of these infinite-dimensional representations. The first model we use is the classical compact picture; the second model is conjugate to…
We connect k-triangulations of a convex n-gon to the theory of Schubert polynomials. We use this connection to prove that the simplicial complex with k-triangulations as facets is a vertex-decomposable triangulated sphere, and we give a new…
