Let $k\ge 2$ and $\{F_n^{(k)}\}_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$--generalized Fibonacci numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,0,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we determine all…

Natural numbers which are nontrivial multiples of some permutation of their base-$b$ digit representations are called permutiples. Specific cases include numbers which are multiples of cyclic permutations (cyclic numbers) and reversals of…

We first introduce the Hamming distance between two strings. Then, we apply this concept to the representations of whole numbers in base n for all positive integers n > 2. We claim that a simple formula exists for the sum of all Hamming…

Consider the congruence class R_m(a)={a+im:i\in Z} and the infinite arithmetic progression P_m(a)={a+im:i\in N_0}. For positive integers a,b,c,d,m the sum of products set R_m(a)R_m(b)+R_m(c)R_m(d) consists of all integers of the form…

We prove that the sumset {p^2+b^2+2^n: p is prime and b,n\in N} has positive lower density. We also construct a residue class with odd modulo, which contains no integer of the form p^2+b^2+2^n. And similar results are established for the…

For nonempty sets $A,B$ of nonnegative integers and an integer $n$, let $r_{A,B}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as $a+b$ and $d_{A,B}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as $a-b$, where $a\in A, b\in B$. In this paper,…

We count various classes of algebraic integers of fixed degree by their largest absolute value. The classes of integers considered include all algebraic integers, Perron numbers, totally real integers, and totally complex integers. We give…

Let N be a large enough natural number, A and B be subsets of {N+1, ... , 2N}. In this paper, we prove that there exists integers a, b with a belongs to A, b belongs to B such that ab=P_k^2 + O(P_k^{1-c}), where 0<c<1/2 and P_k denotes an…

Let $f(n)=\min_{p} |n-p|$, where $p$ is a prime. We show that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that for any large integer $N$ there exist two positive integers $n_1$ and $n_2$ such that $N=n_1 + n_2$ and $f(n_i)\gg \ln N (\ln\ln…

It is well known since A. J. Kempner's work that the series of the reciprocals of the positive integers whose the decimal representation does not contain any digit 9, is convergent. This result was extended by F. Irwin and others to deal…

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…

Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results…

In this paper, we introduce multi-Lah numbers and multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind and recall multi-Bernoulli numbers, all of whose generating functions are given with the help of multiple logarithm. The aim of this paper is to…

We settle an open problem regarding palindromes; that is, positive integers which are the same when written forwards and backwards. In particular, we prove that for any fixed base $b\geq 2$, there exist infinitely many square-free…

We enumerate total cyclic orders on $\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$ where we prescribe the relative cyclic order of consecutive triples $(i,{i+1},{i+2})$, these integers being taken modulo $n$. In some cases, the problem reduces to the…

We prove new results on the additive theory of reversed primes $\overleftarrow{p}$; that is, primes $p$ which are written backwards in a fixed base $b\geq 2$. In particular, we study a variant of Goldbach's conjecture, looking at…

In this paper we present a new mathematical conception based on a new method for ordering the integers. The method relies on the assumption that negative numbers are beyond infinity, which goes back to Wallis and Euler. We also present a…

We define a class of associative algebras generalizing 'clannish algebras', as introduced by the second author, but also incorporating semilinear structure, like a skew polynomial ring. Clannish algebras generalize the well known 'string…

The set $A$ is an asymptotic nonbasis of order $h$ for an additive abelian group $X$ if there are infinitely many elements of $X$ not in the $h$-fold sumset $hA$. For all $h \geq 2$, this paper constructs new classes of asymptotic nonbases…

By applying the Newton-Gregory expansion to the polynomial associated with the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$, we derive a couple of infinite families of explicit formulas for $S_k(n)$. One of the families…
