Divisibility sequences are defined by the property that their elements divide each other whenever their indices do. The divisibility sequences that also satisfy a linear recurrence, like the Fibonacci numbers, are generated by polynomials…

We construct an infinite family of real cyclotomic fields with non-trivial class group. This result generalizes the result in [1] in the sense that our family includes theirs.
We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the…
We use cyclotomy to design new classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields. This allows us to generate many classes of permutation polynomials in an algorithmic way. Many of them are permutation polynomials of large indices.
In this paper, we establish a local limit theorem for linear fields of random variables constructed from independent and identically distributed innovations each with finite second moment. When the coefficients are absolutely summable we do…
We show that the closure of the value set of a real linear recurrence sequence is the union of a countable set and a finite collection of intervals. Conversely, any finite collection of closed intervals is the closure of the value set of…
When $p(t)$ is a polynomial of degree $d$, $k$-th column of the Riordan array $\bigl(1/(1 - t^{d+1}), tp(t)\bigr)$ is an eventually periodic sequence with the repeating part beginning at the $1 + (k-1)(d+1)$-st term. The pre-periodic terms…
In this paper, we prove two results related to the solutions of norm form equations. Firstly, we give a finiteness result for sums of terms of linear recurrence sequences appearing in the coordinates of solutions of norm form equations.…
An artificial neural network can be used to generate a series of numbers. A boolean perceptron generates bit sequences with a periodic structure. The corresponding spectrum of cycle lengths is investigated analytically and numerically; it…
In this paper, we construct two generalized cyclotomic binary sequences of period $2p^{m}$ based on the generalized cyclotomy and compute their linear complexity, showing that they are of high linear complexity when $m\geq 2$.
