In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation \begin{align*}b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k &+ \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k=\\ &=d^l + \left(c+d\right)^l + \cdots + \left(c\left(y-1\right) + d\right)^l, \end{align*} where…
Let $n$ be a non-negative integer and put $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n}(x+i)$. In the first part of the paper, for given $n$, we study the existence of integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $$ y^m=p_{n}(x)+\sum_{i=1}^{k}p_{a_{i}}(x), $$…
The determination of Jacobi sums, their congruences and cyclotomic numbers have been the object of attention for many years and there are large number of interesting results related to these in the literature. This survey aims at reviewing…

The article presents mathematical generalization of results which originated as solutions of practical problems, in particular, the modeling of transitional processes in electrical circuits and problems of resource allocation. However, the…
We show that certain sums studied in two recent papers are basically character coordinates (as they are called in the literature). These sums involve values of Dirichlet characters and powers of $\cot(\pi k/n)$, $1\le k\le n-1$. We also…
A novel method of summation for power series is developed. The method is based on the self-similar approximation theory. The trick employed is in transforming, first, a series expansion into a product expansion and in applying the…
In this paper we determine the perfect powers that are sums of three fifth powers in an arithmetic progression. More precisely, we completely solve the Diophantine equation $$ (x-d)^5 + x^5 + (x + d)^5 = z^n,~n\geq 2, $$ where $d,x,z \in…
In a recent paper the authors studied the denominators of polynomials that represent power sums by Bernoulli's formula. Here we extend our results to power sums of arithmetic progressions. In particular, we obtain a simple explicit…
In this paper some generalizations of the sum of powers of natural numbers is considered. In particular, the class of sums whose generating function is the power of the generating function for the classical sums of powers is studying. The…
This work lies across three areas (in the title) of investigation that are by themselves of independent interest. A problem that arose in quantum computing led us to a link that tied these areas together. This link consists of a single…
We study the problem of recovering a collection of $n$ numbers from the evaluation of $m$ power sums. This yields a system of polynomial equations, which can be underconstrained ($m < n$), square ($m = n$), or overconstrained ($m > n$).…
In recent years some near-optimal estimates have been established for certain sum-product type estimates. This paper gives some first extremal results which provide information about when these bounds may or may not be tight. The main tool…

The problem of iterated partial summations is solved for some discrete distributions defined on discrete supports. The power method, usually used as a computational approach to finding matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors, is in some cases…
We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(F_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$Fibonacci sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for powers of 2 which are…
