We consider extended $1$-perfect codes in Hamming graphs $H(n,q)$. Such nontrivial codes are known only when $n=2^k$, $k\geq 1$, $q=2$, or $n=q+2$, $q=2^m$, $m\geq 1$. Recently, Bespalov proved nonexistence of extended $1$-perfect codes for…

In this article, we will prove the existence of infinitely many positive weak solutions to the following nonlocal elliptic PDE. \begin{align} (-\Delta)^s u&= \frac{\lambda}{u^{\gamma}}+ f(x,u)~\text{in}~\Omega,\nonumber…

Let $N(m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with rank $m$, and let $M(m,n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with crank $m$. Chan and Mao proved that for any nonnegative integers $m$ and $n$, $N(m,n)\geq N(m+2,n)$ and for any…

Let $p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3,...$ be the sequence of all primes. Let $\epsilon$ be an arbitrarily small but fixed positive number, and fix a coprime pair of integers $q \ge 3$ and $a$. We will establish a lower bound for the number of primes…

We consider a nonlinear Robin problems driven by the $p$-Laplacian plus an indefinite potential. The reaction is resonant with respect to a variational eigenvalue. For the principal eigenvalue we assume strong resonance. Using variational…

We construct novel examples of finitely generated groups that exhibit seemingly-contradicting probabilistic behaviors with respect to Burnside laws. We construct a finitely generated group that satisfies a Burnside law, namely a law of the…

The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…

A classical result of Honsberger states that the number of incongruent triangles with integer sides and perimeter $n$ is the nearest integer to $\frac{n^2}{48}$ ($n$ even) or $\frac{(n+3)^2}{48}$ ($n$ odd). We solve the analogous problem…

Let f(1)=1, and let f(n+1)=2^{2^{f(n)}} for every positive integer n. We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} \cup {x_i+1=x_k: i,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an integer solution of the diophantine equation $m/n=1/x(\lambda)+1/y(\lambda)+1/z(\lambda)$ with $n=b+a\lambda$ are explicitly given for a,b coprime and a not a multiple of m . The…

Let $m\ge3$ be an integer. The polygonal numbers of order $m+2$ are given by $p_{m+2}(n)=m\binom n2+n$ $(n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. A famous claim of Fermat proved by Cauchy asserts that each nonnegative integer is the sum of $m+2$ polygonal numbers…

Let $(q_{\alpha, n})_{n \geq 0}$ be the sequence of convergent denominators to the simple continued fraction expansion of $\alpha$. For certain specific choices of $\alpha$, this sequence is a Lehmer sequence. In this paper, we show that…

Fix a positive integer $m$. The game of \emph{$m$-Wythoff Nim} (A.S. Fraenkel, 1982) is a well-known extension of \emph{Wythoff Nim}, a.k.a 'Corner the Queen'. Its set of $P$-positions may be represented by a pair of increasing sequences of…

Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, it is proved that for $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q},\,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ and $0<\theta<10/1561$, there…

The Kahane--Salem--Zygmund inequality for multilinear forms in $\ell_{\infty}$ spaces claims that, for all positive integers $m,n_{1},...,n_{m}$, there exists an $m$-linear form $A\colon\ell_{\infty}^{n_{1}}\times\cdots\times…

For a prime p, a Diophantine m-tuple in $\mathbb{F}_p$ is a set of m nonzero elements of $\mathbb{F}_p$ with the property that the product of any two of its distinct elements is one less than a square. In this paper, we present formulas for…

Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{\lambda-1}, b^{\lambda}-1\right]$, we denote by $R_\lambda (n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We…

This paper proves that the variety generated by a centrally nilpotent Moufang loop (or centrally nilpotent A-loop) is finitely based.

We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…

We present a solution to the Burnside Problem for 2 generator groups of prime-power exponent that does not rely on induced maps as in [2]. As before, we construct a surjective map of a rank 2 free group to a solvable group G and finish by…
