We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…

In this paper, we consider infinite sums derived from the reciprocals of the generalized Fibonacci numbers. We obtain some new and interesting identities for the generalized Fibonacci numbers.

Translation from the Latin of Euler's "Observatio de summis divisorum" (1752). E243 in the Enestroem index. The pentagonal number theorem is that $\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-x^n)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty (-1)^n x^{n(3n-1)/2}$. This paper assumes…

In this note, we extend to a composite modulo a recent result of Chan (2016) dealing with mean values of the product of an integer and its multiplicative inverse modulo a prime number.

For n=1,2,3,... let p_n be the n-th prime. We mainly show that p_n>n+sum_{k=1}^n p_k/k for all n>124, and sum_{k=1}^n kp_k<n^2p_n/3 for all n>30.

Prime numbers have attracted the attention of mathematiciansand enthusiasts for millenniums due to their simple definition and remarkable properties. In this paper, we study primorial numbers (the product of the first prime numbers) to…

We give an exact coefficients formula of any infinite product of power series with constant term equal to $1$, by using structures from partitions of integers and permutation groups. This is an universal theorem for various of Binomial-type…

A linear combination $aT_r(m)+bT_s(n)$ of an \mbox{$r$-gonal} number $T_r(m)$ and an $s$-gonal number $T_s(n)$ with mutually coprime positive integer coefficients $a$ and $b$ produces infinitely many primes as $m$ and~$n$ varies over the…

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

It is well known that $\sum_{p\le n} 1/p =\ln(\ln(n)) + O(1)$ where $p$ goes over the primes. We give several known proofs of this. We first present a a proof that $\ge \ln(\ln(n)) + O(1)$. This is based on Euler's proof that $\sum_p 1/p$…

A sharp asymptotic formula for the sum of reciprocals of $\pi(n)$ is derived, where $\pi(x)$ is the number of primes not exceeding $x$. This result improves the previous results of De Koninck--Ivi\'c and L. Panaitopol.

We study the properties of the product, which runs over the primes, $$\mathfrak{p}_n = \prod_{s_p(n) \, \geq \, p} p \quad (n \geq 1),$$ where $s_p(n)$ denotes the sum of the base-$p$ digits of $n$. One important property is the fact that…

Let n be a positive odd integer and let p>n+1 be a prime. We mainly derive the following congruence: $$\sum_{0<i_1<...<i_n<p}(i_1/3)(-1)^{i_1}/(i_1...i_n)=0 (mod p).$$

Suppose l=2m+1, m>0. We introduce m "theta-series", [1],...,[m], in Z/2[[x]]. It has been conjectured that the n for which the coefficient of x^n in 1/[i] is 1 form a set of density 0. This is probably always false, but in certain cases,…

We show that sequences of positive integers whose ratios $a_n^2/a_{n+1}$ lie within a specific range are almost uniquely determined by their reciprocal sums. For instance, the Sylvester sequence is uniquely characterized as the only…

In 1914, Kempner proved that the series 1/1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/11 + ... + 1/18 + 1/20 + 1/21 + ... where the denominators are the positive integers that do not contain the digit 9, converges to a sum less than 90. The actual sum…
