We address the Poincar\'e-Perron's classical problem of approximation for high order linear differential equations in the class of almost periodic type functions, extending the results for a second order linear differential equation in…

We present a natural, combinatorial problem whose solution is given by the meta-Fibonacci recurrence relation $a(n) = \sum_{i=1}^p a(n-i+1 - a(n-i))$, where $p$ is prime. This combinatorial problem is less general than those given in [3]…

In this article, we consider the Diophantine equation $\sigma_{2}(n)-n^2=An+B$ with $A=P^2\pm2$. For some $B$, we show that except for finitely many computable solutions in the range $n\leq(|A|+|B|)^{3}$, all the solutions are expressible…

A nonempty set $F$ is Schreier if $\min F\ge |F|$. Bird observed that counting Schreier sets in a certain way produces the Fibonacci sequence. Since then, various connections between variants of Schreier sets and well-known sequences have…

We derive several identities for arbitrary homogeneous second order recurrence sequences with constant coefficients. The results are then applied to present a unified study of six well known integer sequences, namely the Fibonacci sequence,…

Let $(F_n)_{n\ge0}$ and $(L_n)_{n\ge0}$ denote the sequences of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers respectively. This paper determines all Lucas numbers that can be represented as base $b$ mixed concatenations of a Fibonacci number and a Lucas…

We give multiple proofs of two formulas concerning the enumeration of permutations avoiding a monotone consecutive pattern with a certain value for the inverse peak number or inverse left peak number statistic. The enumeration in both cases…

We study the extended Frobenius problem for sequences of the form $\{f_a+f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $\{f_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ is the Fibonacci sequence and $f_a$ is a Fibonacci number. As a consequence, we show that the family of…

It's the age-old recurrence with a twist: sum the last two terms and if the result is composite, divide by its smallest prime divisor to get the next term (e.g., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 3, 7, ...). These sequences exhibit pseudo-random…

We prove a central limit theorem for the length of the longest subsequence of a random permutation which follows one of a class of repeating patterns. This class includes every fixed pattern of ups and downs having at least one of each,…

Pivoting methods are of vital importance for linear programming, the simplex method being the by far most well-known. In this paper, a primal-dual pair of linear programs in canonical form is considered. We show that there exists a sequence…

In this paper we study the action of the Binomial and Invert (interpolated) operators on the set of linear recurrent sequences. We prove that these operators preserve this set, and we determine how they change the characteristic…

We study $B(n;k)$, the number of ways of writing $n$ as a sum or difference of the first $k$ Fibonacci numbers. We show that $B(0;k)$ satisfies the Tribonacci-like recurrence $B(0;k+1)=B(0;k)+B(0;k-1)+B(0;k-2)$ and that $B(n;k)$ satisfies a…

Gibbons and Korach studied a fundamental problem in 1997: given an observed sequence of reads and writes of a multi-threaded program, does there exist an interleaving which is sequentially consistent? Apart from applications in testing…

In a recent paper, Bilu et al. studied a conjecture of Marques and Lengyel on the $p$-adic valuation of the Tribonacci sequence. In this article, we study the $p$-adic valuation of third order linear recurrence sequences by considering a…

We show that two notions of continued fraction normality, one where overlapping occurrences of finite patterns are counted as distinct occurrences, and another where only disjoint occurrences are counted as distinct, are identical. This…

The often elusive Poincar\'e recurrence can be witnessed in a completely separable system. For such systems, the problem of recurrence reduces to the classic mathematical problem of simultaneous Diophantine approximation of multiple…

The paper investigates relationship between algebraic expressions and graphs. We consider a digraph called a Fibonacci graph which gives a generic example of non-series-parallel graphs. Our intention in this paper is to simplify the…

There are three long-known types of restricted integer compositions whose counts match the Fibonacci sequence:\ one from ancient India and two from 19th century England. We give proofs of these enumeration results using tiling arguments and…

This paper introduces prime holdout problems, a problem class related to the Collatz conjecture. After applying a linear function, instead of removing a finite set of prime factors, a holdout problem specifies a set of primes to be…
