We give an effective criterion for the identifiability of additive decompositions of homogeneous forms of degree $d$ in a fixed number of variables. Asymptotically for large $d$ it has the same order of the Kruskal's criterion adapted to…

Let $\mathcal{F}=\{f_1,\ldots,f_R\}$ be a family of forms of odd degrees at most $d$ in $s$ variables. We study the solutions to the system $f_1(\mathbf{x})=\ldots=f_R(\mathbf{x})=0$ of the form $x_i=y_ip_i$ with $|y_i|\leq Y_\mathcal{F}$…

Smith normal form evaluations found by Bessenrodt and Stanley for some Hankel matrices of q-Catalan numbers are proven in two ways. One argument generalizes the Bessenrodt-Stanley results for the Smith normal form of a certain multivariate…

We study completeness in partial differential varieties. We generalize many results from ordinary differential fields to the partial differential setting. In particular, we establish a valuative criterion for differential completeness and…

It is useful to have canonical forms of boundary conditions in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary value problems and associated numerical applications. In [J. Appl. Anal. Comput., 2024, 14(4), {1854--1868}], a canonical form is given…

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of boundary value problems for a family of functional differential equations with a non-integrable singularity are obtained.

We sharpen earlier work on the pro-$p$ completions of orientable $PD_3$-groups. There are four cases, and we give examples of aspherical 3-manifolds representing each case. In three of the four cases the new results are best possible. We…

In this paper we study some structure properties of primitive weird numbers in terms of their factorization. We give sufficient conditions to ensure that a positive integer is weird. Two algorithms for generating weird numbers having a…

We provide direct elementary proofs of several explicit expressions for Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. As a byproduct of our method of proof, we provide natural definitions for generalized Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of…

We exhibit some new families of cyclotomic fields which have non-trivial plus parts of their class numbers. We also prove the $3$ - divisibility of the plus part of the class number of another family consisting of infinitely many cyclotomic…

Recent work of Garvan, Sellers, Smoot, and others has made connections between infinite families of congruences for various partition functions. Here, we apply this approach to families of congruences for PED and POD partitions and find…

We study the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials specialized at infinity from various points of view. First, we define a family of modules of the Iwahori algebra whose characters are equal to the nonsymmetric Macdonald polynomials…

We study pairs and triples consisting of triangular numbers such that the product of any two distinct elements decreased by 1 is a perfect square. For a positive integer $n$, we establish a necessary condition for the $n$-th triangular…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

Let $pod_2(n)$ denote the number of $2$-regular partitions of $n$ with distinct odd parts (even parts are unrestricted). In this article, we obtain congruences for $pod_2(n)$ mod $2$ and mod $8$ using some generating function manipulations…

We consider the capability of $p$-groups of class two and odd prime exponent. The question of capability is shown to be equivalent to a statement about vector spaces and linear transformations, and using the equivalence we give proofs of…

Normal and composition series of groups enumerated by ordinal numbers are studied. The Jordan-Holder theorem for them is proved.

We find necessary and sufficient conditions on an (inverse) semigroup $X$ under which its semigroups of maximal linked systems $\lambda(X)$, filters $\phi(X)$, linked upfamilies $N_2(X)$, and upfamilies $\upsilon(X)$ are inverse.

We present new examples of complexes of differential operators of order $k$ (any given positive integer) that satisfy div-curl and/or $L^1$-duality estimates.

We discuss an unusual phenomenon in (integral) positive ternary quadratic forms. We also describe an interesting pairing of genera of ternary forms.
