An integer composition of a nonnegative integer $n$ is a tuple $(\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_k)$ of nonnegative integers whose sum is $n$; the $\pi_i$'s are called the parts of the composition. For fixed number $k$ of parts, the number of $f$-weighted…

In this note, we consider ordered partitions of integers such that each entry is no more than a fixed portion of the sum. We give a method for constructing all such compositions as well as both an explicit formula and a generating function…

It seems that the index theory for non-compact spaces has found its ultimate formulation in realm of coarse spaces and $K$-theory of related operator algebras. Relative and partitioned index theorems may be mentioned as two important and…

Some identities are presented that generalize the formula x^3 = 3x floor(x floor(x)) - 3 floor(x) floor(x floor(x)) + floor(x)^3 + 3 frac(x) frac(x floor(x)) + frac(x)^3 to a representation of the product x_0x_1 ... x_{n-1}.

In this paper, a Fourier series in fractional dimensional space is introduced for an arbitrarily periodic function $f(t;\alpha)$. We call it fractional Fourier series of the order $\alpha$. Extending the basis functions of the linear space…

Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…

Let $n,d$, and $k$ be positive integers where $n$ and $d$ are coprime. Our two main results are Theorem 1. There is a partition of the infinite interval $[kd,\infty)$ of positive integers into a family of finite sets $X$ for which the sum…

We introduce the notion of order projections using the order unit property of a positive element in an order unit space and characterize them in terms of (geometric) orthogonality. We describe order projections of the order unit space…

A positive integer $n$ is called practical if all integers between $1$ and $n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. We give an asymptotic estimate for the number of integers $\le x$ which have a practical divisor $\ge y$.

A generalization of exterior calculus is considered by allowing the partial derivatives in the exterior derivative to assume fractional orders. That is, a fractional exterior derivative is defined. This is found to generate new vector…

An algebraic integer is said large if all its real or complex embeddings have absolute value larger than $1$. An integral ideal is said \emph{large} if it admits a large generator. We investigate the notion of largeness, relating it to some…

Given a set of positive integers A = {a_1,...,a_n}, we study the number p_A (t) of nonnegative integer solutions (m_1,...,m_n) to m_1 a_1 + ... m_n a_n = t. We derive an explicit formula for the polynomial part of p_A.

A $(k,\ell )$ partial partition of an $n$-element set is a collection of $\ell $ pairwise disjoint $k$-element subsets. It is proved that, if $n$ is large enough, one can find $\left\lfloor {n\choose k}/{\ell}\right\rfloor$ such partial…

Let SYT_n be the set of all standard Young tableaux with n cells. After recalling the definitions of four partial orders, the weak, KL, geometric and chain orders on SYT_n and some of their crucial properties, we prove three main results:…

This paper aims to address the relation between a magic square of odd order $n$ and a group, and their properties. By the modulo number $n$, we construct entries for each table from initial table of magic square with large number $n^2$.…

In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…

If s and t are relatively prime positive integers we show that the s-core of a t-core partition is again a t-core partition

Let $R$ be a ring with identity, $\mathcal{U}(R)$ the group of units of $R$ and $k$ a positive integer. We say that $a\in \mathcal{U}(R)$ is $k$-unit if $a^k=1$. Particularly, if the ring $R$ is $\mathbb{Z}_n$, for a positive integer $n$,…

Let k_1,...,k_d be positive integers, and D be a subset of [k_1]x...x[k_d], whose complement can be decomposed into disjoint sets of the form {x_1}x...x{x_{s-1}}x[k_s]x{x_{s+1}}x...x{x_d}. We conjecture that the number of elements of D can…

Let $[t]$ be the integral part of the real number $t$.The aim of this short note is to study the distribution of elements of the set $\mathcal{S}(x) := \{[\frac{x}{n}] : 1\le n\le x\}$ in the arithmetical progression $\{a+dq\}_{d\ge 0}$.Our…
