Through the following, we establish the conditions which allow us to express recursive sequences of real numbers, enumerated through the recurrence relation a_{n+1} = Aa_n + Ba_{n-1}, by means of algebraic equations in two variables of…
By considering a limiting case of a Kronecker-type identity, we obtain an identity found by both Andrews and Crandall. We then use the Andrews-Crandall identity to give a new proof of a formula of Gauss for the representations of a number…
The reversal of a positive integer $A$ is the number obtained by reading $A$ backwards in its decimal representation. A pair $(A,B)$ of positive integers is said to be palindromic if the reversal of the product $A \times B$ is equal to the…
This small note proves that the set of triangular numbers is a finitely stable additive basis. This, together with a previous result by the author, shows that triangular numbers and squares are, among all polygonal numbers, the only ones…
In the paper, the author derives several "diagonal" recurrence relations, constructs some inequalities, finds monotonicity, and poses a conjecture related to Stirling numbers of the second kind.
Let $g$ be a map from the set of positive integers into itself defined as follows: Let $x$ be a positive integer. If $x$ is odd, then $g(x)=3x+1$, and if $x$ is even, then $g(x)=x/2$. The $3x+1$ conjecture, also called the Collatz…
We establish supercongruences for two kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers, which involve Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. Conjectural supercongruences of the same type for another four kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers are also proposed.
A fixed set of vertices in the plane may have multiple planar straight-line triangulations in which the degree of each vertex is the same. As such, the degree information does not completely determine the triangulation. We show that even if…
Two-term recurrence relations are supplied for indefinite integrals of functions that involve factors of the types ${P_2}^n$, ${P_3}^n$, ${P_4}^n$, ${P_1}^m {Q_1}^n$, $E_1 {P_1}^n$, ${P_1}^m {Q_2}^n$, $E_1 {P_2}^n$, ${P_2}^m {Q_2}^n$,…
It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…
We give some formulas of poly-Cauchy numbers by the $r$-Stirling transform. In the case of the classical or poly-Bernoulli numbers, the formulas are with Stirling numbers of the first kind. In our case of the classical or poly-Cauchy…
For a large integer $m,$ we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions of a certain congruence modulo $m$ with four variables, where the variables belong to special sets of residue classes modulo $m.$ This formula are applied…
A recurrent formula is presented, for the enumeration of the compositions of positive integers as sums over multisets of positive integers, that closely resembles Euler's recurrence based on the pentagonal numbers, but where the…
In this paper, we introduce multi-Lah numbers and multi-Stirling numbers of the first kind and recall multi-Bernoulli numbers, all of whose generating functions are given with the help of multiple logarithm. The aim of this paper is to…
We compute the divisor of the modular equation on the modular curve $\Gamma_0(N) \backslash \mathbb H^*$ and then find recurrence relations satisfied by the modular traces of the Hauptmodul for any congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(N)$ of genus…
Any two triangulations of a closed surface with the same number of vertices can be transformed into each other by a sequence of regular flips, provided the number of vertices exceeds a number N depending on the surface. Examples show that…
We study the dissection of a square into congruent convex polygons. Yuan \emph{et al.} [Dissecting the square into five congruent parts, Discrete Math. \textbf{339} (2016) 288-298] asked whether, if the number of tiles is a prime number…
In this paper, we present a new algorithm for computing the linear recurrence relations of multi-dimensional sequences. Existing algorithms for computing these relations arise in computational algebra and include constructing structured…
An integer $n$ is said to be ternary if it is composed of three distinct odd primes. In this paper, we asymptotically count the number of ternary integers $n \leq x$ with the constituent primes satisfying various constraints. We apply our…
A pair of odd primes is said to be symmetric if each prime is congruent to one modulo their difference. A theorem from 1996 by Fletcher, Lindgren, and the third author provides an upper bound on the number of primes up to x that belong to a…
