Following up on a paper of Balamohan, Kuznetsov, and Tanny, we analyze a variant of Hofstadter's Q-sequence and show it is 2-automatic. An automaton computing the sequence is explicitly given.

We study the Schr\"{o}dinger equation: \begin{eqnarray} - \Delta u+V(x)u+f(x,u)=0,\qquad u\in H^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),\nonumber \end{eqnarray} where $V$ is periodic and $f$ is periodic in the $x$-variables, $0$ is in a gap of the spectrum of…

We consider the $k$-nested sum of integer powers, $F(n,m,k)$, defined as repeated partial sums of the classical Faulhaber polynomials. We provide an explicit recurrence relation relating $F(n,m,k)$ to sums of lower power $m-1$ and higher…

Let $\{U(m)\}_{m\in \N}$ and $\{V(n)\}_{n\in \N}$ be linear recurrence sequences. It is a well-known Diophantine problem to determine the finiteness of the set of natural numbers $n$ such that the ratio $U(n)/V(n)$ is an integer. We study…

This paper addresses A Pillai-Catalan-type problem assosiated with Fibonacci numbers. Let $F_{n}$ be the Fibonacci numbers defined by the recurrence relation $F_{1}=1$, $F_{2}=1$ and $F_{n}=F_{n-1}+F_{n-2}$ for all $n\geq 3$. We will find…

The Hales numbered $n$-dimensional hypercube and the corresponding adjacency matrix exhibit interesting recursive structures in $n$. These structures lead to a very simple proof of the well-known bandwidth formula for hypercube, whose proof…

Through the following, we establish the conditions which allow us to express recursive sequences of real numbers, enumerated through the recurrence relation a_{n+1} = Aa_n + Ba_{n-1}, by means of algebraic equations in two variables of…

We look at the effective Hamiltonian $\bar H$ associated with the Hamiltonian $H(p,x)=H(p)+V(x)$ in the periodic homogenization theory. Our central goal is to understand the relation between $V$ and $\bar H$. We formulate some inverse…

We investigate the conditions on an integer sequence f(n), n 2 N, with f(1) = 0, such that the sequence q(n), computed recursively via q(n) = q(n - q(n - 1)) + f(n), with q(1) = 1, exists. We prove that f(n + 1) - f(n) in {0,1}, n > 0, is a…

This short note reports a master theorem on tight asymptotic solutions to divide-and-conquer recurrences with more than one recursive term: for example, T(n) = 1/4 T(n/16) + 1/3 T(3n/5) + 4 T(n/100) + 10 T(n/300) + n^2.

The Fibonacci polynomials are defined recursively as $f_{n}(x)=xf_{n-1}(x)+f_{n-2}(x)$, where $f_0(x) = 0$ and $f_1(x)= 1$. We generalize these polynomials to an arbitrary number of variables with the $r$-Fibonacci polynomial. We extend…

We study $B(n;k)$, the number of ways of writing $n$ as a sum or difference of the first $k$ Fibonacci numbers. We show that $B(0;k)$ satisfies the Tribonacci-like recurrence $B(0;k+1)=B(0;k)+B(0;k-1)+B(0;k-2)$ and that $B(n;k)$ satisfies a…
