We consider the well-known one dimensional cutting stock problem (1CSP). Based on the pattern structure of the classical ILP formulation of Gilmore and Gomory, we can decompose the infinite set of 1CSP instances, with a fixed demand n, into…

Motivated by problems of comparative genomics and paleogenomics, in [Chauve et al., 2009], the authors introduced the Gapped Consecutive-Ones Property Problem (k,delta)-C1P: given a binary matrix M and two integers k and delta, can the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $d = p^{\tau}(p-1)$. In the spirit of Aritn's conjecture, consider the system of two diagonal forms of degree $d$ in $s$ variables given by \begin{equation*}\begin{split} a_1x_1^d + \cdots + a_sx_s^d = 0\\…

We consider the problem of computing a triangulation of the real projective plane P2, given a finite point set S={p1, p2,..., pn} as input. We prove that a triangulation of P2 always exists if at least six points in S are in general…

The solution form of the system of nonlinear difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1} = \frac{x_{n-k+1}^{p}y_{n}}{a y_{n-k}^{p}+b y_{n}},\ y_{n+1} = \frac{y_{n-k+1}^{p}x_{n}}{\alpha x_{n-k}^{p}+\beta x_{n}}, \quad n, p \in…

Systems of the form $x = (A x^s)^{1/s} + b$ arise in a range of economic, financial and control problems, where $A$ is a linear operator acting on a space of real-valued functions (or vectors) and $s$ is a nonzero real value. In these…

Let b be an odd integer such that b=+/-1 (mod 8) and let q be a prime with primitive root 2 such that q does not divide b. We show that if (p(k)) is a sequence of odd primes, with 0<=k<=q-2 such that p(k)=2p(k-1)+b for all 1<=k<=q-2, then…

We define C sequential optimization numbers, where C is a k+1-tuple vector. We prove that the unsigned Stirling numbers of first kind are (0,1) sequential optimization numbers. Many achievements of the Stirling numbers of first kind can be…

We propose a new exact approach for solving integer linear programming (ILP) problems which we will call projective splitting algorithms (PSAs). Unlike classical methods for solving ILP problems, PSAs conduct the search for the optimal…

We consider initial value problems for differential-algebraic equations in a possibly infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Assuming a growth condition for the associated operator pencil, we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for…

Approximating a definite integral of product of cosines to within an accuracy of n binary digits where the integrand depends on input integers x[k] given in binary radix, is equivalent to counting the number of equal-sum partitions of the…

The purpose of the present work is to study the existence of solutions to initial value problems for nonlinear first order differential systems with nonlinear nonlocal boundary conditions of functional type. The existence results are…

A somewhat pretentious presentation of number systems (N, Z, Q, R, C, Q_p, >...). The problem of a p-adic characterisation of good-reduction p-adic curves is posed.

The long run behaviour of linear dynamical systems is often studied by looking at eventual properties of matrices and recurrences that underlie the system. A basic problem that lies at the core of many questions in this setting is the…

This monograph considers a few topics in the theory of primitive roots g(p) modulo a prime p>=2. A few estimates of the least primitive roots g(p) and the least prime primitive roots g^*(p) modulo p, a large prime, are determined. One of…

\begin{abstract} In this paper, we consider the following system of difference equations \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=\alpha+\dfrac{y_{n}^p}{y_{n-2}^p},\ y_{n+1}=\alpha+ \dfrac{x_{n}^q}{x_{n-2}^q}, \ n=0, 1, 2, ... \end{equation*} where…

We discuss the equation $a^p + 2^\a b^p + c^p =0$ in which $a$, $b$, and $c$ are non-zero relatively prime integers, $p$ is an odd prime number, and $\a$ is a positive integer. The technique used to prove Fermat's Last Theorem shows that…

Let p > 2 be a prime number and let N be any rational integer. We consider the p-class groups Cl(L), Cl(M) of the fields $L:=Q(N^{1/p})$ and $M:=Q(N^{1/p},\mu_p)$, by comparison with the p-torsion groups T(L) and T(M) of the abelian…

In this note we study the induced $p$-norm of circulant matrices $A(n,\pm a, b)$, acting as operators on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$. For circulant matrices whose entries are nonnegative real numbers, in particular for $A(n,a,b)$, we…

We study initial value problems having dynamics ruled by discontinuous ordinary differential equations with the property of possessing a unique solution. We identify a precise class of such systems that we call solvable intitial value…
