We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.
In this work, we present a cogredient standard form of an orthogonal space over a finite local ring of odd characteristic.
Given integers $k_1, k_2$ with $0\le k_1<k_2$, the determinations of all positive integers $q$ for which there exists a perfect Splitter $B[-k_1, k_2](q)$ set is a wide open question in general. In this paper, we obtain new necessary and…
In a recent preprint on arXiv Roland Bacher showed that the number $p_d$ of non-similar perfect $d$-dimensional quadratic forms satisfies $e^{\Omega(d)} < p_d < e^{O(d^3\log(d))}$. We improve the upper bound to $e^{O(d^2\log(d))}$ by a…
Formulas of Rodrigues-type for the Macdonald polynomials are presented. They involve creation operators, certain properties of which are proved and other conjectured. The limiting case of the Jack polynomials is discussed.
Matrices over the dual numbers are considered. We propose an approach to classify these matrices up to similarity. Some preliminary results on the realization of this approach are obtained. In particular, we produce explicitly canonical…
For a positive integer $n$, if $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, then $n$ is called a deficient perfect number if $\sigma(n)=2n-d$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. In this paper, we prove some results about…
A number is perfect if it is the sum of its proper divisors; here we call a finite group `perfect' if its order is the sum of the orders of its proper normal subgroups. (This conflicts with standard terminology but confusion should not…
A positive definite quadratic form is called perfect, if it is uniquely determined by its arithmetical minimum and the integral vectors attaining it. In this self-contained survey we explain how to enumerate perfect forms in $d$ variables…
We consider the capability of $p$ groups of class two and odd prime exponent. We use linear algebra and counting arguments to establish a number of new results. In particular, we settle the 4-generator case, and prove a sufficient condition…
We improve upon a recent result of Culler and Dunfield on orderability of certain Dehn fillings by removing a difficult condition they required.
In this paper, we study the product of orders of composition factors of odd order in a composition series of a finite linear group. First we generalize a result by Manz and Wolf about the order of solvable linear groups of odd order. Then…
In this paper we shall find some sufficient conditions for a uniqueness polynomial to be a strong uniqueness polynomial, as this type of problem was never investigated by researchers earlier.We also exhibit some examples to substantiate our…
Natural numbers satisfying an unusual property are mentioned by the author in [5], in which their infinitude is also proved. In this paper, we start with an arbitrary natural number which is not a multiple of 10 and non-palindromic, form…
Let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. We say that $n$ is perfect if $\sigma(n) = 2 n$. Currently there are no known odd perfect numbers. It is known that if an odd perfect number exists, then it must be of the form…
While the twin prime conjecture is still famously open, it holds true in the setting of finite fields: There are infinitely many pairs of monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ that differ by a fixed constant, for each $q \geq…
The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for a group to possess a faithful irreducible representation are investigated
We give sufficient conditions on the Lebesgue exponents for compositions of odd numbers of pseudo-differential operators with symbols in modulation spaces. As a byproduct, we obtain sufficient conditions for twisted convolutions of odd…
If $N = {p^k}{m^2}$ is an odd perfect number with special prime factor $p$, then it is proved that ${p^k} < (2/3){m^2}$. Numerical results on the abundancy indices $\frac{\sigma(p^k)}{p^k}$ and $\frac{\sigma(m^2)}{m^2}$, and the ratios…
