This paper aims to construct a new family of numbers and polynomials which are related to the Bell numbers and polynomials by means of the confluent hypergeometric function. We give various properties of these numbers and polynomials…
In this paper, we investigate the generalized Pell sequence, the generalized complex Pell sequence and the generalized dual Pell sequence using the Pell numbers. We obtain special cases of these sequences. Furthermore, we give recurrence…
In the decimal numeral system, we prove that the well-known Graham's number, $G := \! ^{n}3$ (i.e., $3^{3^{\cdot^{\cdot^{\cdot^{3}}}}}$ ($n$ times)), and any base $3$ tetration whose hyperexponent is larger than $n$ share the same…
The aim of this article is to show that the arithmetic of Pell conics admits a description which is completely analogous to that of elliptic curves: there is a theory of 2-descent with associated Selmer and Tate-Shafarevich groups, and…
Let $g\ge 2$ be an integer and $\mathcal R_g\subset \mathbb N$ be the set of repdigits in base $g$. Let $\mathcal D_g$ be the set of Diophantine triples with values in $\mathcal R_g$; that is, $\mathcal D_g$ is the set of all triples…
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 show how Benford's Law (BL) for first, second, ..., digits, emerges from the distribution of digits of numbers of the type $a^{R}$, with $a$ any real positive number and $R$ a set of real numbers uniformly distributed in an interval $[…
The purpose of this paper consists to study the sums of the type $P(n) + P(n - d) + P(n - 2 d) + \dots$, where $P$ is a real polynomial, $d$ is a positive integer and the sum stops at the value of $P$ at the smallest natural number of the…
Two theorems are demonstrated giving analytical expressions of the fundamental solutions of the Pell equation $X^{2}-DY^{2}=1$ found by the method of continued fractions for two squarefree polynomial expressions of radicands of…
Let $ \{P_{n}\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Padovan numbers defined by $ P_0=0 $, $ P_1 = P_2=1$ and $ P_{n+3}= P_{n+1} +P_n$ for all $ n\geq 0 $. In this paper, we find all positive square-free integers $ d $ such that the Pell…
At this paper, we derive some relationships between permanents of one type of lower-Hessenberg matrix and the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers and their sums.
We investigate the relationship between the set S of Pisot numbers and the set T of Salem numbers. Salem first established that: " every Pisot number is an accumulation point of the set T ". Building on Boyd's method, we show that every…
In this paper we completely solve the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=2^{a_1}+2^{a_2}+2^{a_3}+2^{a_4}+2^{a_5}$, where $F_k$ denotes the $k$-th Fibonacci number. In addition to complex linear forms in logarithms and the Baker-Davenport…
Let $k\ge 2$ and $\{L_n^{(k)}\}_{n\geq 2-k}$ be the sequence of $k$-Lucas numbers whose first $k$ terms are $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms. In this paper, we solve the Diophantine equation…
A slice decomposition is an expression of a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of forms with a linear factor. A strength decomposition is an expression of a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of reducible forms. The slice rank and strength of a…
Given two orientable, cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds containing certain thrice-punctured spheres, Adams gave a diagrammatic definition for a third such manifold, their belted sum. Fully augmented links, or FALs, are hyperbolic links…
We review some probabilistic properties of the sum-of-digits function of random integers. New asymptotic approximations to the total variation distance and its refinements are also derived. Four different approaches are used: a classical…

The \textit{ternary digits of $2^n$} are a finite sequence of 0s, 1s, and 2s. It is a natural question to ask whether the frequency of any string of 0s, 1s, and 2s in this sequence approaches the same limit for all strings of the same…
We study new identities related to the sums of adjacent terms in the Pell sequence, defined by $P_{n} := 2P_{n-1}+P_{n-2}$ for $ n\geq 2$ and $P_{0}=0, P_{1}=1$, and generalize these identities for many similar sequences. We prove that the…
