Let $Q=(q_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of integers greater than or equal to 2. We say that a real number $x$ in $[0,1)$ is {\it $Q$-distribution normal} if the sequence $(q_1q_2... q_n x)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1.…

We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…

For any $m\ge3$, every integer of the form $p_m(x)=\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}2$ with $x \in \z$ is said to be a generalized $m$-gonal number. Let $a\le b\le c$ be positive integers. For every non negative integer $n$, if there are integers…

For each natural number $m\ge 3$, let $P_m(x)$ denote the generalized $m$-gonal number $\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, with the help of the congruence theta function, we establish conditions on $a$, $b$,…

For a positive integer $m>1$, if the generalized Markoff equation $a^2+b^2+c^2=3abc+m$ has a solution triple, then it has infinitely many solutions. We show that all positive solution triples are generated by a finite set of triples that we…

Let $a$ and $m>0$ be integers. We show that for any integer $b$ relatively prime to $m$, the set $\{a^n+bn:\ n=1,\ldots,m^2\}$ contains a complete system of residues modulo $m$. We also pose several conjectures for further research; for…

We prove intuitionistic versions of the classical theorems saying that all countable closed subsets of $[-\pi,\pi]$ and even all countable subsets of $[-\pi,\pi]$ are sets of uniqueness.

A celebrated result by Hilbert says that every real nonnegative ternary quartic is a sum of three squares. We show more generally that every nonnegative quadratic form on a real projective variety $X$ of minimal degree is a sum of…

We construct a combinatorially large measure zero subset of the Cantor set.

For $n \geq 225$ we show that every integer of the form $n + 2m$ such that $0 \leq 2m \leq n^{2} - \frac{9}{2} n \sqrt{n}$ is the dimension of a connected semi-simple subalgebra of $\mathrm{M}_{n}(k)$, that is, a subalgebra isomorphic to a…

We consider Cantor real numeration system as a frame in which every non-negative real number has a positional representation. The system is defined using a bi-infinite sequence $\Beta=(\beta_n)_{n\in\Z}$ of real numbers greater than one. We…

Fractals equipped with intrinsic arithmetic lead to a natural definition of differentiation, integration and complex numbers. Applying the formalism to the problem of a Fourier transform on fractals we show that the resulting transform has…

Based on the Goldbach conjecture and arithmetic fundamental theorem, the Goldbach conjecture was extended to more general situations, i.e., any positive integer can be written as summation of some specific prime numbers, which depends on…

We study divisibility properties of certain sums and alternating sums involving binomial coefficients and powers of integers. For example, we prove that for all positive integers $n_1,..., n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any nonnegative integer…

A partition is finitary if all its members are finite. For a set $A$, $\mathscr{B}(A)$ denotes the set of all finitary partitions of $A$. It is shown consistent with $\mathsf{ZF}$ (without the axiom of choice) that there exist an infinite…

Consider $d$ disjoint closed subintervals of the unit interval and consider an orientation preserving expanding map which maps each of these subintervals to the whole unit interval. The set of points where all iterates of this expanding map…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and $b_{m}(n)$ be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts being powers of 2, where each part can take $m$ colors. We show that if $m=2^{k}-1$, then there exists the natural density of integers $n$ such that…

By using a similar pattern of arguments, we show that in three categories the collection of isomorphisms forms a residual subset of the space of morphisms. We first consider surjective continuous mappings on Cantor spaces. Next, we look at…

We investigate finite effect algebras and their classification. We show that an effect algebra with $n$ elements has at least $n-2$ and at most $(n-1)(n-2)/2$ nontrivial defined sums. We characterize finite effect algebras with these…

We study an analogue of a classical arithmetic problem over the ring of polynomials. We prove that $m = 5$ is the minimal number such that the sums of any two distinct polynomials in a set of $m$ polynomials over $\F_2[x]$ cannot all be of…
