Repdigits are natural numbers formed by the repetition of a single digit. In this paper, we explore the presence of repdigits in the product of consecutive balancing or Lucas-balancing numbers.
For a class of Lucas sequences ${x_n}$, we show that if $n$ is a positive integer then $x_n$ has a primitive prime factor which divides $x_n$ to an odd power, except perhaps when $n = 1, 2, 3 or 6$. This has several desirable consequences.
Let $p_n$ denote the $n$th smallest prime number, and let $\boldsymbol{L}$ denote the set of limit points of the sequence $\{(p_{n+1} - p_n)/\log p_n\}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ of normalized differences between consecutive primes. We show that for…
For $A,B\in\mathbb Z$, the Lucas sequence $u_n(A,B)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are defined by $u_0(A,B)=0$, $u_1(A,B)=1$, and $u_{n+1}(A,B) = Au_n(A,B)-Bu_{n-1}(A,B)$ $(n=1,2,3,\ldots).$ For any odd prime $p$ and positive integer $n$, we establish…
Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…
If each minimal dominating set in a graph is a minimum dominating set, then the graph is called well-dominated. Since the seminal paper on well-dominated graphs appeared in 1988, the structure of well-dominated graphs from several…
A prime labeling on a graph of order $m$ is an assignment of $\{ 1, 2, \ldots, m \}$ to the vertices of the graph such that each pair of adjacent vertices has coprime labels. The ladder of order $2n$ is the $2 \times n$ grid graph graph…
A "truncation" of Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of numbers that satisfies the usual Pascal recurrence but with a boundary condition that declares some terminal set of numbers along each row of the array to be zero. Presented here…
Generalizing the concept of a perfect number is a Zumkeller or integer perfect number that was introduced by Zumkeller in 2003. The positive integer $n$ is a Zumkeller number if its divisors can be partitioned into two sets with the same…
For a semisimple Lie group $G$, we study Discrete Series representations with admissible branching to a symmetric subgroup $H$. This is done using a canonical associated symmetric subgroup $H_0$, forming a pseudo-dual pair with $H$, and a…
The determinantal identities of Hamel and Goulden have recently been shown to apply to a tableau-based ninth variation of skew Schur functions. Here we extend this approach and its results to the analogous tableau-based ninth variation of…
In his 1999 preprint "Universal Lie Algebra", P. Vogel put forward a hypothesis on the existence of a universal Lie algebra. Although this hypothesis remains open, it is known that many quantities in Lie theory admit universal descriptions.…
The generalized Lucas numbers are polynomials in two variables with nonnegative integer coefficients. Lucas versions of some combinatorial numbers with known formulas in terms of quotient and products of nonnegative integers have been…
The paper describes a prime factorization of the Catalan numbers. Odd prime factors are distributed in layers in accordance with Legendre's formula. The content of each layer is a network of the intervals, Chebyshev's Segments. The primes…
The set of prime numbers has been analyzed, based on their algebraic and arithmetical structure. Here by obtaining a sort of linear formula for the set of prime numbers, they are redefined and identified; under a systematic procedure it has…
We investigate the asymptotics of the determinant of N by N Hankel matrices generated by Fisher-Hartwig symbols defined on the real line, as N becomes large. Such objects are natural analogues of Toeplitz determinants generated by…
Ongoing efforts that span over decades show a rise of AI methods for accelerating scientific discovery, yet accelerating discovery in mathematics remains a persistent challenge for AI. Specifically, AI methods were not effective in creation…
We consider several problems about pseudoprimes. First, we look at the issue of their distribution in residue classes. There is a literature on this topic in the case that the residue class is coprime to the modulus. Here we provide some…
In this work, we made a generalization that includes all bicomplex Fibonacci-like numbers such as; Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, etc.. We named this generalization as bicomplex Horadam numbers. For bicomplex Fibonacci and Lucas numbers we gave…
Let $p$ be a prime, and let $k,n,m,n_0$ and $m_0$ be nonnegative integers such that $k\ge 1$, and $_0$ and $m_0$ are both less than $p$. K. Davis and W. Webb established that for a prime $p\ge 5$ the following variation of Lucas' Theorem…
