A. Renyi \cite{Renyi} made a definition that gives one generalization of simple normality in the context of $Q$-Cantor series. Similarly, in this paper we give a definition which generalizes the notion of normality in the context of…

Recent work by Huang, Lewis, Morales, Reiner, and Stanton suggests that the regular elliptic elements of $\mathrm{GL}_n \mathbb{F}_q$ are somehow analogous to the $n$-cycles of the symmetric group. In 1981, Stanley enumerated the…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

In this article, we define general normal forms for any logic that has propositional part and whose non-propositional connectives distribute over the finite disjunctions. We do not require the non-propositional connectives to be closed on…

We study quadratic forms over totally real number fields by using an associated ring of quaternions. We examine some properties of residue class rings of these quaternions and use geometry of numbers to prove that certain ideals of the ring…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and, for each integer $n\ge 1$, let $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ be the unique $n$-degree extension of $\mathbb F_q$. The $\mathbb F_q$-orders of an element in…

W. M. Schmidt, A. D. Pollington, and F. Schweiger have studied when normality with respect to one expansion is equivalent to normality with respect to another expansion. Following in their footsteps, we show that when $Q$ is an eventually…

It is shown how some of the recent results of de Souza et al. [1] can be generalized to describe Hamiltonians whose eigenvalues are given as k-generalized Fibonacci numbers. Here k is an arbitrary integer and the cases considered by de…

Finding the number of meaningful clusters in an unlabeled dataset is important in many applications. Regularized k-means algorithm is a possible approach frequently used to find the correct number of distinct clusters in datasets. The most…

We define the rank of elements of general unital rings, discuss its properties and give several examples to support the definition. In semiprime rings we give a characterization of rank in terms of invertible elements. As an application we…

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. An \emph{$n$-potent} is an element $e$ of a ring $R$ such that $e^n = e$. In this paper, we study $n$-potents in matrices over $R$ and use them to construct an abelian group $K_0^n(R)$. If $A$ is a complex…

We consider sets of reals $X$ endowed with the Sorgenfrey lower limit topology denoted $X[\leq]$. Przymusi\'nski proved that if $X$ is a $Q$-set then $(X[\leq])^2$ is normal. While the converse is not in general true we consider examples of…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements having characteristic $p$, and denote by $\mathbb K_\infty=\mathbb F_q((1/t))$ the field of formal Laurent series in $1/t$. We consider the equidistribution in $\mathbb T=\mathbb…

A new formula is presented for the calculation of matrix elements between multi-quasiparticle Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) states. The formula is expressed in terms of the Pfaffian, and is derived by using the Fermion coherent states with…

Both the function and its normal derivative on the element boundary are $Q_k$ polynomials for the Bogner-Fox-Schmit $C^1$-$Q_k$ finite element functions. Mathematically, to keep the optimal order of approximation, their spaces are required…

Using norms, the second author constructed a basis for the centre of the Hecke algebra of the symmetric group over $\Q[\xi]$ in 1990. An integral "minimal" basis was later given by the first author in 1999, following work of Geck and…

Let $\mathbb F_q^d$ be the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. Given $k$ sets $E_j\subset \mathbb F_q^d$ for $j=1,2,\ldots, k$, the generalized $k$-resultant modulus set, denoted by…

In this paper, we consider a natural generalization of the concept of order of an element in a group: an element $g \in G$ is said to have order $k$ in a subgroup $H$ of $G$ (\resp \wrt a coset $Hu$) if $k$ is the first strictly positive…

The paper is devoted to produce infinite sequences of $k$-normal polynomials $F_{u}(x)\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ of degrees $np^{u} ~ (u\geq 0)$, for a suitably chosen initial $k$-normal polynomial $F_{0}(x)\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ of degree $n$…

Let $ \mathbb{Q}\mathcal{E}_{\mathbb{Z}} $ be the set of power sums whose characteristic roots belong to $ \mathbb{Z} $ and whose coefficients belong to $ \mathbb{Q} $, i.e. $ G : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{Q} $ satisfies…
