We use the circle method to evaluate the behavior of limit-periodic functions on primes. For those limit-periodic functions that satisfy a kind of Barban-Davenport-Halberstam condition and whose singular series converge fast enough, we can…
In this paper, we use our previous study of the higher order Bernoulli numbers $B_n^{(l)}$ to investigate the $p$-adic properties of the Stirling numbers of the second kind $S(n,k)$. For example, we give a new, greatly simplified proof of…
We present a new topological proof of the infinitude of prime numbers with a new topology. Furthermore, in this topology, we characterize the infinitude of any non-empty subset of prime numbers.
In this paper, we mainly discuss some generalized metric properties and the character of the free paratopological groups, and extend several results valid for free topological groups to free paratopological groups.
Some best possible inequalities are established for k-partition-free families (cf. Definition 1) and they are applied to prove a sharpening of a classical result of Kleitman concerning families without k pairwise disjoint members.
Recently there has been a large number of works on bilinear sums with Kloosterman sums and on sums of Kloosterman sums twisted by arithmetic functions. Motivated by these, we consider several related new questions about sums of Kloosterman…
We give conditions on sequences of positive algebraic numbers $\{a_{n,j}\}_{n=1}^\infty$, $j=1,\dots ,M$ and number field $\mathbb K$ to ensure that the numbers defined by the continued fractions $[0;a_{1,j},a_{2,j},\dots ]$, $j=1,\dots ,M$…
Let $k$ be an integer which is the difference between prime numbers infinitely often. It is known that there are infinitely many such $k$ and, in this paper, we give a new unconditional proof that these $k$ have positive density and improve…
Two Beatty sequences are recorded by athletes running in opposite directions in a round stadium. This approach suggests a nice interpretation for well known partitioning criteria: such sequences (eventually) partition the integers…
In this paper, we have constructed the higher order k-bonacci matrices and studied some of their basic properties. We have also shown that these matrices satisfying some new and interesting relations in k-bonacci recurrence. This is the…
Given a set of integers with no three in arithmetic progression, we construct a Stanley sequence by adding integers greedily so that no arithmetic progression is formed. This paper offers two main contributions to the theory of Stanley…
In this article, we develop a k-free zeta Dirichlet series into a Laurent series with a simple pole, and prove a Stieltjes like formula for the expansion coefficients of the regular part. We also investigate another analytical continuation…
We survey the history of the capset problem in the context of related results on progression-free sets, discuss recent progress, and mention further directions to explore.
We introduce an algorithm that iteratively produces a sequence of natural numbers k_i and functions b_i. The number k_(i+1) arises as the first point of discontinuity of b_i above k_i. We derive a set of properties of both sequences,…
In this paper we study the sets of integers which are $n$-th terms of Lucas sequences. We establish lower- and upper bounds for the size of these sets. These bounds are sharp for $n$ sufficiently large. We also develop bounds on the growth…
We study 2-player impartial games of the form take-away which produce P-positions (second player winning positions) corresponding to complementary Beatty sequences, given by the continued fractions (1;k,1,k,1,...) and (k+1;k,1,k,1,...). Our…
Let $k\ge 2$. We prove that the characteristic sequence of a regular language over a $k$-letter alphabet is $k$-automatic. More generally, if $t\ge 2$ and $t,k$ are multiplicatively dependent, we show that the characteristic sequence of a…
The purpose of this paper is to give new examples of families of free singularities. We first show that a generic equidimensional subspace arrangement is free. Furthermore, we show that a product of two reduced Cohen-Macaulay subspaces is…
An integer sequence is said to be 3-free if no three elements form an arithmetic progression. Following the greedy algorithm, the Stanley sequence $S(a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_k)$ is defined to be the 3-free sequence $\{a_n\}$ having initial terms…
Given a base point free linear system on an algebraic variety, many classes of singularities are stable under taking suitable members after enlarging the base field. We establish analogous results when the base ring is an excellent ring.
