We give formulas for the number of representations of non negative integers by various quadratic forms. We also give evaluations in the case of sum of two cubes (cubic case) and the quintic case, as well. We introduce a class of generalized…

We use recurrence equations (alias difference equations) to enumerate the number of formula-representations of positive integers using only addition and multiplication, and using addition, multiplication, and exponentiation, where all the…

Let $F$ be a quadratic form in four variables, let $m\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $\mathbf{k}\in \mathbb{Z}^4$. We count integer solutions to $F(\mathbf{x})=0$ with $\mathbf{x}\equiv \mathbf{k}\:\mathrm{mod}(m)$. One can compare this to the…

We use Zagier's one-sentence proof approach to show that a prime number $p$ admits a form $p=a^2+ab+b^2$ for some integers $a$ and $b$ if and only if $p=3$ or $p\equiv 1 \pmod{3}$.

The present paper is devoted to construction of an optimal quadrature formula for approximation of Fourier integrals in the Hilbert space $W_2^{(1,0)}[a,b]$ of non-periodic, complex valued functions. Here the quadrature sum consists of…

Simplification of fractional powers of positive rational numbers and of sums, products and powers of such numbers is taught in beginning algebra. Such numbers can often be expressed in many ways, as this article discusses in some detail.…

We investigate the problem of r almost-primes represented by sets of quadratic forms and give upper bounds for r. Our results extend work of Diamond and Halberstam in which they investigated the corresponding problem for polynomials.

This paper explores quadratic forms over finite fields with associated Artin-Schreier curves. Specifically, we investigate quadratic forms of $\mathbb F_{q^n}/\mathbb F_q$ represented by polynomials over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ with $q$ odd,…

We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…

A rational positive-definite quadratic form is perfect if it can be reconstructed from the knowledge of its minimal nonzero value m and the finite set of integral vectors v such that f(v) = m. This concept was introduced by Voronoi and…

An ideal is a classical object of study in the field of algebraic number theory. In maximal quadratic orders of number fields, ideals usually represented by the $\mathbb Z$-basis. This form of representation is used in most of the…

This paper focuses on the numerical solution of initial value problems for fractional differential equations of linear type. The approach we propose grounds on expressing the solution in terms of some integral weighted by a generalized…

We prove lower bounds of the form $\gg N/(\log N)^{3/2}$ for the number of primes up to $N$ primitively represented by a shifted positive definite integral binary quadratic form, and under the additional condition that primes are from an…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, $k,\ell$ be positive integers, $q=p^k, Q=p^{\ell}$. In this paper we characterise planar functions of the form $f_{\underline{c}}(X)=c_0X^{qQ+q}+c_1X^{qQ+1}+c_2X^{Q+q}+c_3X^{Q+1}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ for any…

We completely classify Fourier summation formulas, and in particular, all crystalline measures with quadratic decay. Our classification employs techniques from almost periodic functions, Hermite-Biehler functions, de Branges spaces and…

Given a prime $p>3$, we characterize positive-definite integral quadratic forms that are coprime-universal for $p$, i.e. representing all positive integers coprime to $p$. This generalizes the $290$-Theorem by Bhargava and Hanke and extends…

Revisiting an approach by Conway and Sloane we investigate a collection of optimal non-linear binary codes and represent them as (non-linear) codes over Z4. The Fourier transform will be used in order to analyze these codes, which leads to…

We examine a bias towards the zero residue class for the integers represented by binary quadratic forms. In many cases, we are able to prove that the bias comes from a secondary term in the associated asymptotic expansion (unlike…

We estimate the number of integer solutions to decomposable form inequalities (both asymptotic estimates and upper bounds are provided) when the degree of the form and the number of variables are relatively prime. These estimates display…

Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a regular indefinite integral quadratic form with $n\ge 9$, and let $t$ be an integer. It is established that $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=t$ has solutions in prime variables if there are no local obstructions.
