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…

Let T : Lp --> Lp be a positive contraction, with p strictly between 1 and infinity. Assume that T is analytic, that is, there exists a constant K such that \norm{T^n-T^{n-1}} < K/n for any positive integer n. Let q strictly betweeen 2 and…

Let $(F_n)$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers and, for each positive integer $k$, let $\mathcal{P}_k$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $\gcd(p - 1, F_{p - 1}) = k$. We prove that the relative density $\text{r}(\mathcal{P}_k)$ of…

We introduce a family of averaged meta-Fibonacci recursions $$ Q_{\alpha,m}(n) = 1+ \left\lfloor \alpha \frac1m \sum_{j=1}^m Q_{\alpha,m}(n-Q_{\alpha,m}(n-j)) \right\rfloor , $$ with initial conditions $$…

For $q$ an odd prime power with $q>169$ we prove that there are always three consecutive primitive elements in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Indeed, there are precisely eleven values of $q \leq 169$ for which this is false. For $4\leq…

In this paper, we show that the natural density (among the positive integers) of the set of orders of the finite quotients of any ordinary triangle group is zero. This is achieved using methods inspired by a 1976 theorem of Bertram on large…

Let $k \geq 2$ be an integer and $\mathbb F_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. We prove several results on the distribution in short intervals of polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ that are not divisible by the $k$th power of any…

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$. Lekkerkerker proved that the average number of summands for integers in $[F_n,…

For any positive integers $q$, $n$, $m$ with $q$ being a prime power and $n \geq 5$, we establish a condition sufficient to ensure the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\epsilon,f(\epsilon))$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ over…

Let $\mathfrak b_n(\mathbb F_q)$ denote the Lie algebra of upper triangular $n\times n$ matrices over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$, and let $\mathfrak u_n(\mathbb F_q)$ be the nilradical of $\mathfrak b_n$. For every $\mathfrak…

This article investigates the existence of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal polynomial, defined as the minimal polynomial of an $r$-primitive $k$-normal element in $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, with a specified degree $n$ and two given coefficients over…

In the present paper the authors construct normal numbers in base $q$ by concatenating $q$-adic expansions of prime powers $\lfloor\alpha p^\theta\rfloor$ with $\alpha>0$ and $\theta>1$.

In this paper, a unified family, for any $n\geqslant 2$ and $1\leqslant k\leqslant n-1$, of nonconforming finite element schemes are presented for the primal weak formulation of the $n$-dimensional Hodge-Laplace equation on $H\Lambda^k\cap…

For a finite field $\mathbf{F}_{q^r}$ with fixed $q$ and $r$ sufficiently large, we prove the existence of a primitive element outside of a set of $r$ many affine hyperplanes for $q=4$ and $q=5$. This complements earlier results by…

Let $x$ be a positive real number, and $\mathcal{P} \subset [2,\lambda(x)]$ be a set of primes, where $\lambda(x) \in \Omega(x^\varepsilon)$ is a monotone increasing function with $\varepsilon \in (0,1)$. We examine $Q_{\mathcal{P}}(x)$,…

For convex hypersurfaces in the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq2$), A.-M.\ Li introduced the notion of $\alpha$-normal field as a generalization of the affine normal field. By studying a Monge-Amp\`ere equation with gradient blowup…

We generalize Kudryavtseva and Mazorchuk's concept of canonical form of elements in Kiselman's semigroups to the setting of a Hecke-Kiselman monoid $\mathbf{HK}_\Gamma$ associated with a simple oriented graph $\Gamma$. We use confluence…

In 2013, Zhi-Wei Sun proposed a Romanov-type conjecture stating that every integer $n > 1$ can be written as $n = k + m$ with $k, m \ge 1$ such that $2^k + m$ is a prime. In this paper, we unconditionally prove that the natural numbers…
