A permutiple is a number which is an integer multiple of some permutation of its digits. A well-known example is 9801 since it is an integer multiple of its reversal, 1089. In this paper, we consider the permutiple problem in an entirely…

This paper presents the concept of digit polynomials, which leads to a deterministic and unconditional integer factorization algorithm with the runtime complexity $\mathcal{O}(N^{1/4+\epsilon})$. Strassen's well known factoring approach is…

Science and mathematics help people better to understand world, eliminating different fallacies and misconceptions. One of such misconception is related to arithmetic, which is so important both for science and everyday life. People think…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

We analyze the convergence order of an algorithm producing the digits of an absolutely normal number. Furthermore, we introduce a stronger concept of absolute normality by allowing Pisot numbers as bases, which leads to expansions with…

In this paper, we investigate properties of the fixed point sequence of the Josephus function $J_3$. First, we establish a connection between this sequence and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Next, we identify a clear numerical pattern for…

In this note, we construct and study an algebraic system similar to the natural numbers, but with noncommutative addition. The addition we introduce is a binary operation that commutes with itself in the sense of N. Durov. Neverheless, the…

The polyadic integer numbers, which form a polyadic ring, are representatives of a fixed congruence class. The basics of polyadic arithmetic are presented: prime polyadic numbers, the polyadic Euler function, polyadic division with a…

This paper presents a number of identities for Dirichlet series and series with Stirling numbers of the first kind. As coefficients for the Dirichlet series we use Cauchy numbers of the first and second kinds, hyperharmonic numbers,…

This note addresses the signed-digit representation of nonnegative binary integers. Popular literature methods for the conversion into the canonical signed-digit representation are reviewed and revisited. A method based on string…

The mathematical constant pi has recently been computed up to 22,459,157,718,361 decimal and 18,651,926,753,033 hexadecimal digits. As a simple check for the normality of pi, the frequencies of all sequences with length one, two and three…

Consider $\alpha \in \Q(i)$ satisfying $|\alpha| >1$. Let $\D = \{0,1,\ldots,|a_0|-1\}$, where $a_0$ is the independent coefficient of the minimal primitive polynomial of $\alpha$. We introduce a way of expanding complex numbers in base…

We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n^4 mathematical operations. The…

In this paper we present an alternative approach to a problem dealt with by Rosales et al. In particular, once a base $b$ for the representation of the integers is fixed, we describe a procedure for constructing the smallest multiplicative…

Dual numbers and their higher order version are important tools for numerical computations, and in particular for finite difference calculus. Based upon the relevant algebraic rules and matrix realizations of dual numbers, we will present a…

This review is devoted to dynamical systems in fields of $p$-adic numbers: origin of $p$-adic dynamics in $p$-adic theoretical physics (string theory, quantum mechanics and field theory, spin glasses), continuous dynamical systems and…

We give upper and lower bounds on the Chevalley-Bass number of a field of characteristic zero, whenever this quantity is well-defined. We also describe an algorithm which computes the Chevalley-Bass number of a field, provided its maximal…

We describe a theory of finite sets, and investigate the analogue of Dedekind's theory of natural number systems (simply infinite systems) in this theory. Unlike the infinitary case, in our theory, natural number systems come in differing…

We investigate the problem of finding integers $k$ such that appending any number of copies of the base-ten digit $d$ to $k$ yields a composite number. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many integers coprime to all digits…
