In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

In this paper, we consider sums of three generalized $m$-gonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restrictions on $m$ modulo $30$, we show that a density one set of…

In this paper, we obtain formulas for the number of representations of positive integers as sums of arbitrarily many squares (and other polygonal numbers) with a certain natural weighting. The resulting weighted sums give Fourier…

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…

In this article, we study the representability of integers as sums of pentagonal numbers, where a pentagonal number is an integer of the form $P_5(x)=\frac{3x^2-x}{2}$ for some non-negative integer $x$. In particular, we prove the…

Polytope numbers for a polytope are a sequence of nonnegative integers that are defined by the facial information of a polytope. Every polygon is triangulable and a higher dimensional analogue of this fact states that every polytope is…

Suppose $k$ is a positive integer. In this work, we establish formulas for for the number of representations of integers by the quadratic forms $$ x_{1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{k}^{2}+l\left(x_{k+1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{2k}^{2}\right) $$ for $l\in\{2,4\}$.

We examine the representation of numbers as the sum of two squares in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ for a general positive integer $n$. Using this information we make some comments about the density of positive integers which can be represented as the sum…

We study the average number of representations of an integer $n$ as $n = \phi(n_{1}) + \dots + \phi(n_{j})$, for polynomials $\phi \in \mathbb{Z}[n]$ with $\partial\phi = k\ge 1$, $\operatorname{lead}(\phi) = 1$, $j \ge k$, where $n_{i}$ is…

In the paper we can prove that every integer can be written as the sum of two integers, one perfect square and one squarefree. We also establish the asympotic formula for the number of representations of an integer in this form. The result…

Generalized $m$-gonal numbers are those $p_m(x)= [ (m - 2)x^2 - (m - 4)x ]/2 $ where $x$ and $m$ are integers with $m \geq 3$. If any nonnegative integer can be written in the form $ap_r(h)+bp_s(l)+cp_t(m)+dp_u(n)$, where $a,b,c,d$ are…
