We develop a general approach for showing when a set of integers $\mathscr{A}$ has infinitely many $k^{th}$ powerfree numbers without relying on equidistribution estimates for $\mathscr{A}$. In particular, we show that if the Fourier…

We have proved in this paper that numbers can be expressed in algebraic form using one variable and two real rational quantities and thus sum of three cubes can also be expressed in algebraic form as a cubic polynomial. Using skeletal or…

We prove that every sufficiently large odd integer is a sum of two positive squares and a prime. Let R(n) be the number of representations n = x^2 + y^2 + p with x, y >= 1 and p prime. We show that R(n) > 0 for all odd n >= n0 and obtain…

Freiman and Scourfield proved that any large enough integer can be written as a sum of a certain number of ascending even powers. We use the circle method to provide the first explicit bound on this number, and show that any large enough…

We investigate here the representability of integers as sums of triangular numbers, where the $n$-th triangular number is given by $T_n = n(n + 1)/2$. In particular, we show that $f(x_1,x_2,..., x_k) = b_1 T_{x_1} +...+ b_k T_{x_k}$, for…

It is known that for an arbitrary positive integer \(n\) the sequence \(S(x^n)=(1^n, 2^n, \ldots)\) is complete, meaning that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of distinct \(n\)th powers of positive integers. We prove that every…

We extend a result by Ikeda and Suriajaya (2025) to find the asymptotic behaviour of the average number of representations of an integer $n$, over multiples of a fixed $q\ge 2$, as a sum of two prime $k$-th powers, for $k\ge 2$.

In a multi-base representation of an integer (in contrast to, for example, the binary or decimal representation) the base (or radix) is replaced by products of powers of single bases. The resulting numeral system has desirable properties…

We extend results of Jagy and Kaplansky and the present authors and show that for all $k\geq 3$ there are infinitely many positive integers $n$, which cannot be written as $x^2+y^2+z^k=n$ for positive integers $x,y,z$, where for…

We show that if two monic polynomials with integer coefficients have square-free resultant, then all positive divisors of the resultant arise as the greatest common divisor of the values of the two polynomials at a suitable integer.

We show asymptotic upper and lower bounds for the greatest common divisor of N and $\sigma(N)$. We also show that there are infinitely many integers N with fairly large g.c.d. of N and $\sigma(N)$.

In this paper, we shall establish a rather general asymptotic formula in short intervals for a classe of arithmetic functions and announce two applications about the distribution of divisors of square-full numbers and integers representable…

Lagrange's Four Squares Theorem states that any positive integer can be expressed as the sum of four integer squares. We investigate the analogous question over Quaternion rings, focusing on squares of elements of Quaternion rings with…

For any given positive integer $m$ we construct certain totally positive algebraic integers $\alpha$ of a real bi-quadratic field $K$ and obtain some necessary conditions for which $m\alpha$ can not be represented as sum of integral…

We use a variation of the Circle Method, along with the Saddle Point Method, to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions of a number n into integers which are sums of two squares. Unlike previous work on partitions into…

Many asymptotic formulas exist for unrestricted integer partitions as well as for distinct partitions of integers into a finite number of parts. Szekeres and Canfield have derived an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions that is…

We prove that every endomorphism of an infinite-dimensional vector space splits as the sum of four idempotents and as the sum of four square-zero endomorphisms, a result that is optimal in general.

We study sums with multiplicative functions that take values over a non-homogenous Beatty sequence. We then apply our result in a few special cases to obtain asymptotic formulas such as the number of integers in a Beatty sequence…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

Every quadratic form represents 0; therefore, if we take any number of quadratic forms and ask which integers are simultaneously represented by all members of the collection, we are guaranteed a nonempty set. But when is that set more than…
