An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…
By means of the generating function method, a linear recurrence relation is explicitly resolved. The solution is expressed in terms of the Stirling numbers of both the first and the second kind. Two remarkable pairs of combinatorial…

The divisor function $\sigma(n)$ sums the divisors of $n$. We call $n$ abundant when $\sigma(n) - n > n$ and perfect when $\sigma(n) - n = n$. I recently introduced the recursive divisor function $a(n)$, the recursive analog of the divisor…
Let $G$ be a finite group. Harada's conjecture II states that the ratio of the product of all the number of elements in conjugacy classes over that of all degrees of irreducible complex characters of $G$ is an integer. The ratio is called…
The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…
We introduce the degenerate Bernoulli numbers of the second kind as a degenerate version of the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind. We derive a family of nonlinear differential equations satisfied by a function closely related to the…
In this paper we present experimental ways of evaluating Ramanujan`s quantities which as someone can see are related with algebraic numbers. The good thing with algebraic numbers is that can be found in a closed form, from there…
In this study, we find all Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers which are sums of three base 10 repdigits. The proof of our main theorem uses lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and a version of the Baker-Davenport…
We show that q-Catalan numbers, q- central binomial coefficients and q- Narayana polynomials are moments of q-analogues of Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials and related polynomials.
In the paper we can prove that every integer can be written as the sum of two integers, one perfect square and one squarefree. We also establish the asympotic formula for the number of representations of an integer in this form. The result…
We consider two decision problems for linear recurrence sequences (LRS) over the integers, namely the Positivity Problem (are all terms of a given LRS positive?) and the Ultimate Positivity Problem} (are all but finitely many terms of a…
We give an elementary account of generalized Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials whose moments are Narayana polynomials of type A and type B.
We define reflective numbers and their iterative summations. We provide classification of reflective numbers based on their iterative cyclical limits.
The number of ordered factorizations and the number of recursive divisors are two related arithmetic functions that are recursively defined. But it is hard to construct explicit representations of these functions. Taking advantage of their…
In this paper, by presenting bi-periodic Lucas numbers as a binomial sum, we introduce the bi-periodic incomplete Lucas numbers. After that, by using the bi-periodic incomplete Lucas numbers, we derive the recurrence relation and the…
In semidefinite programming the dual may fail to attain its optimal value and there could be a duality gap, i.e., the primal and dual optimal values may differ. In a striking paper, Ramana proposed a polynomial size extended dual that does…
A two-dimensional string is simply a two-dimensional array. We continue the study of the combinatorial properties of repetitions in such strings over the binary alphabet, namely the number of distinct tandems, distinct quartics, and runs.…
