P(n,s) denotes the number of permutations of 1,2,...n that have exactly s sequences. Canfield and Wilf [math.CO/0609704] recently showed that P(n,s) can be written as a sum of s polynomials in n. We determine these polynomials explicitly…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…

For $n\geq 3$, let $r=r(n)\geq 3$ be an integer. A hypergraph is $r$-uniform if each edge is a set of $r$ vertices, and is said to be linear if two edges intersect in at most one vertex. In this paper, the number of linear $r$-uniform…

The weighted Delannoy numbers are defined by the recurrence relation $f_{m,n}=\alpha f_{m-1,n}+ \beta f_{m,n-1}+ \gamma f_{m-1,n-1}$ if $m n>0 $, with $f_{m,n}=\alpha^m \beta^n$ if $n m=0$. In this work, we study a generalization of these…

Let $\N$ denote the set of positive integers. The asymptotic density of the set $A \subseteq \N$ is $d(A) = \lim_{n\to\infty} |A\cap [1,n]|/n$, if this limit exists. Let $ \mathcal{AD}$ denote the set of all sets of positive integers that…

We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…

Let $k$ be a number field. For $\mathcal{H}\rightarrow \infty$, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of algebraic integers of absolute Weil height bounded by $\mathcal{H}$ and fixed degree over $k$.

We prove limit theorems for the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of random integers. While the case of integers uniformly distributed on a hypercube with growing size is classical, we look at the uniform distribution on…

Given a primitive collection of vectors in the integer lattice, we count the number of ways it can be extended to a basis by vectors with sup-norm bounded by $T$, producing an asymptotic estimate as $T \to \infty$. This problem can be…

In this paper, we consider a certain variation of the "isoperimetric problem" adopted for subsets of nonnegative integers. More specifically, we explore the sequence P(n) as described in OEIS A186053. We provide the first exact formulas for…

We study two types of probability measures on the set of integer partitions of $n$ with at most $m$ parts. The first one chooses the random partition with a chance related to its largest part only. We then obtain the limiting distributions…

We investigate the number of symmetric matrices of non-negative integers with zero diagonal such that each row sum is the same. Equivalently, these are zero diagonal symmetric contingency tables with uniform margins, or loop-free regular…

We introduce a new class of countably infinite random geometric graphs, whose vertices are points in a metric space, and vertices are adjacent independently with probability p if the metric distance between the vertices is below a given…

Let $\mathcal S=\{s_1<s_2<s_3<\ldots\}$ be the sequence of all natural numbers which can be represented as a sum of two squares of integers. For $X\ge2$ we denote by $g(X)$ the largest gap between consecutive elements of $\mathcal S$ that…

Let A be a set of positive integers with gcd(A) = 1, and let p_A(n) be the partition function of A. Let c = \pi \sqrt(2/3). Let \alpha > 0. It is proved that log p_A(n) ~ c\sqrt(\alpha n) if and only if the set A has asymptotic density…

We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…

Ding (1992) proved that for each integer ${m} \geqslant 0$, and every infinite sequence of finite simple graphs $G_1, G_2, \ldots$, if none of these graphs contains a path of length ${m}$ as a subgraph, then there are indices $i < j$ such…

Let $R(n,k)$ denote the number of permutations of ${1,2,...,n}$ with $k$ alternating runs. In this note we present an explicit formula for the numbers $R(n,k)$.

A natural number N is said to be palindromic if its binary representation reads the same forwards and backwards. In this paper we study the quotients of two palindromic numbers and answer some basic questions about the resulting sets of…

We present linear forms with integer coefficients containing the Euler-Mascheroni and Euler-Gompertz constants. The forms are defined by four-terms recurrence relations. Asymptotics of the forms and their coefficients are obtained.
