We consider the representation of primes as a sum of a prime and twice a triangular number. We prove that a subset of the primes having density 1 is expressible in this form. We conjecture that every odd prime number is expressible as a sum…
We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…
A degree-regular triangulation is one in which each vertex has identical degree. Our main result is that any such triangulation of a (possibly non-compact) surface $S$ is geometric, that is, it is combinatorially equivalent to a geodesic…
A cosmological polytope is defined for a given Feynman diagram, and its canonical form may be used to compute the contribution of the Feynman diagram to the wavefunction of certain cosmological models. Given a subdivision of a polytope, its…
Rectangulations are decompositions of a square into finitely many axis-aligned rectangles. We describe realizations of $(n-1)$-dimensional polytopes associated with two combinatorial families of rectangulations composed of $n$ rectangles.…
We give formulas for the number of representations of non negative integers by various quadratic forms. We also give evaluations in the case of sum of two cubes (cubic case) and the quintic case, as well. We introduce a class of generalized…
An integer of the form $p_m(x)= \frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2} \ (m\ge 3)$, for some integer $x$ is called a generalized polygonal number of order $m$. A ternary sum $\Phi_{i,j,k}^{a,b,c}(x,y,z)=ap_{i+2}(x)+bp_{j+2}(y)+cp_{k+2}(z)$ of…
A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. In…
This paper shows how to obtain a simple closed form for the elements of a triangular matrix raised to the nth power.
It is classically known that the circle method produces an asymptotic for the number of representations of a tuple of integers $(n_1,\ldots,n_R)$ by a system of quadratic forms $Q_1,\ldots, Q_R$ in $k$ variables, as long as $k$ is…
It is known that any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ is almost regular. On the other words, any $m$-gonal form of rank $n \ge 5$ represents every sufficiently large integer which is locally represented. In this article, we study the…
We show that for a large class of cubic polynomials $f$, every sufficiently large number can be written as a sum of seven positive values of $f$. As a special case, we show that every number greater than $e^{10^7}$ is a sum of seven…
The central component of a polygon triangulation is defined as the triangle or diameter that contain its geometric center. More generally, every polygon dissection contains a central component. Using this notion, we derive new recurrences…
A thorough analysis is made of the Fourier coefficients for vector-valued modular forms associated to three-dimensional irreducible representations of the modular group. In particular, the following statement is verified for all but a…
Any two triangulations of a closed surface with the same number of vertices can be transformed into each other by a sequence of regular flips, provided the number of vertices exceeds a number N depending on the surface. Examples show that…
Matrices over the ring of formal power series are considered. Normal forms with respect to various sub-groups of the two-sided transformations are constructed. The construction is based on the special property of the action: it induces a…
A system of commutative hypercomplex numbers of the form w=x+hy+kz are introduced in 3 dimensions, the variables x, y and z being real numbers. The multiplication rules for the complex units h, k are h^2=k, k^2=h, hk=1. The operations of…
A Circumconic passes through a triangle's vertices. We define the Circumbilliard, a circumellipse to a generic triangle for which the latter is a 3-periodic. We study its properties and associated loci.
The paper establishes that the rank of a regular polygonal complex in 3-space E^3 cannot exceed 4, and that the only regular polygonal complexes of rank 4 in 3-space are the eight regular 4-apeirotopes.
Magic squares are well-known arrangements of integers with common row, column, and diagonal sums. Various other magic shapes have been proposed, but triangles have been somewhat overlooked. We introduce certain triangular arrangements of…
