We present a generalization of the classical Nicomachus' identity for the sum of the first $n$ cubes. Unlike previous generalizations, it has three rather than two terms, and involves not just one, but two distinct triangular numbers, and…
We provide elliptic extensions of elementary identities such as the sum of the first $n$ odd or even numbers, the geometric sum and the sum of the first $n$ cubes. Many such identities, and their $q$-analogues, are indefinite sums, and can…

A systematic study of non-trivial cubic extensions of the four-dimensional Poincar\'e algebra is undertaken. Explicit examples are given with various techniques (Young tableau, characters etc).
By investigating a recurrence relation about functions, we first give alternative proofs of various identities on Fibonacci numbers and Lucas numbers, and then, make certain well known identities visible via certain trivalent graph…
In this paper, we clarified the relationship between continued fractions, determinants, and identities, making it easier to apply these methods systematically in other settings. In particular, we studied finite continued fractions from the…
Some generalized multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities are presented and proved, generalizing some known multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities from literature and adding some quadratic and cubic examples of these identities. Some other…
Topics concerning metric dimension related invariants in graphs are nowadays intensively studied. This compendium of combinatorial and computational results on this topic is an attempt of surveying those contributions that are of the…
Using a probabilistic approach, we derive some interesting combinatorial identities involving gamma and beta functions. These results generalize certain well-known combinatorial identities involving binomial coefficients and special…
This paper considers the properties of Tribonacci numbers on identities, matrices, and determinants. In the first front part, we obtain several symmetric identities of Tribonacci numbers by a matrix-based approach and binomial inversion…
A generalization of the Catalan numbers is considered. New results include binomial identities, recursive relations and a close formula for the multivariate generating function. A simple expression for the Catalan determinant is derived.
Two new identities about Catalan numbers are treated with Zeilberger's algorithm and Watson's hypergeometric series evaluation.
