There is a large literature on the asymptotic distribution of numbers free of large prime factors, so-called $\textit{smooth}$ or $\textit{friable}$ numbers. But there is very little known about this distribution that is numerically…
We analyze the convergence order of an algorithm producing the digits of an absolutely normal number. Furthermore, we introduce a stronger concept of absolute normality by allowing Pisot numbers as bases, which leads to expansions with…
We investigate the number of symmetric matrices of non-negative integers with zero diagonal such that each row sum is the same. Equivalently, these are zero diagonal symmetric contingency tables with uniform margins, or loop-free regular…
We give two simple algorithms for the evaluation of difference between the numbers of multiples of 3 with even and odd binary digit sums in interval [0,x), and give an elementary proof of Coquet's sharp estimates for it.
We consider redundant binary joint digital expansions of integer vectors. The redundancy is used to minimize the Hamming weight, i.e., the number of nonzero digit vectors. This leads to efficient linear combination algorithms in abelian…
We explore a general method based on trees of elementary submodels in order to present highly simplified proofs to numerous results in infinite combinatorics. While countable elementary submodels have been employed in such settings already,…
The binary sum-of-digits function $s$ counts the number of ones in the binary expansion of a nonnegative integer. For any nonnegative integer $t$, T.~W.~Cusick defined the asymptotic density $c_t$ of integers $n\geq 0$ such that…
We introduce a novel method for encoding integers using smooth real-valued functions whose integral properties implicitly reflect discrete quantities. In contrast to classical representations, where the integer appears as an explicit…
We introduce certain rational functions on a smooth projective surface X in IP^3 which facilitate counting the lines on X. We apply this to smooth quintics in characteristic zero to prove that they contain no more than 127 lines, and that…
In this article, we study a sum of squares of integers except for a fixed one. For any nonnegative integer $n$, we find the minimum number of squares of integers except for $n$ whose sums represent all positive integers that are represented…
Smoothed analysis of complexity bounds and condition numbers has been done, so far, on a case by case basis. In this paper we consider a reasonably large class of condition numbers for problems over the complex numbers and we obtain…
We use recurrence equations (alias difference equations) to enumerate the number of formula-representations of positive integers using only addition and multiplication, and using addition, multiplication, and exponentiation, where all the…
The aim of this paper is to study distributional properties of integers without large or small prime factors. Define an integer to be $[y',y]$-smooth if all of its prime factors belong to the interval $[y',y]$. We identify suitable weights…
We prove a folklore conjecture concerning the sum-of-digits functions in bases two and three: there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that the sum of the binary digits of $n$ equals the sum of the ternary digits of $n$.
A Friedman number is a positive integer which is the result of an expression combining all of its own digits by use of the four basic operations, exponentiation and digit concatenation. A "nice" Friedman number is a Friedman number for…
We use the large sieve inequality for smooth numbers due to S. Drappeau, A. Granville and X. Shao (2017), together with some other arguments, to improve their bounds on the frequency of pairs $(q,\chi)$ of moduli $q$ and primitive…
A folklore conjecture in number theory states that the only integers whose expansions in base $3,4$ and $5$ contain solely binary digits are $0, 1$ and $82000$. In this paper, we present the first progress on this conjecture. Furthermore,…
In the context of global optimization and mixed-integer non-linear programming, generalizing a technique of D'Ambrosio, Fampa, Lee and Vigerske for handling the square-root function, we develop a virtuous smoothing method, using cubics,…
We estimate the sizes of the sumset A + A and the productset A $\cdot$ A in the special case that A = S (x, y), the set of positive integers n less than or equal to x, free of prime factors exceeding y.
A determined algorithm is presented for solving the rSUM problem for any natural r with a sub-quadratic assessment of time complexity in some cases. In terms of an amount of memory used the obtained algorithm is the nlog^3(n) order. The…
