A $k$-modal sequence is a sequence of real numbers that can be partitioned into $k+1$ (possibly empty) monotone sections such that adjacent sections have opposite monotonicities. For every positive integer $k$, we prove that any sequence of…

Let $D$ be the open unit disc in the complex plane. We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers and consider any compact set $K$ which is disjoint from $D$ and which also has connected complement. Let $A(K)$ denote all the…

A type theory is presented that combines (intuitionistic) linear types with type dependency, thus properly generalising both intuitionistic dependent type theory and full linear logic. A syntax and complete categorical semantics are…

We consider the length L of the longest common subsequence of two randomly uniformly and independently chosen n character words over a k-ary alphabet. Subadditivity arguments yield that the expected value of L, when normalized by n,…

A multi-latin square of order $n$ and index $k$ is an $n\times n$ array of multisets, each of cardinality $k$, such that each symbol from a fixed set of size $n$ occurs $k$ times in each row and $k$ times in each column. A multi-latin…

In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

We present an index of dependence that allows one to measure the joint or mutual dependence of a $d$-dimensional random vector with $d>2$. The index is based on a $d$-dimensional Kendall process. We further propose a standardized version of…

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…

The Tribonacci-Lucas sequence $\{S_n\}_{n\ge 0}$ is defined by the linear recurrence relation $S_{n+3} = S_{n+2} + S_{n+1} + S_n$, for $ n\ge 0 $, with the initial conditions $S_0 =S_2= 3$ and $S_1 = 1$. A palindromic number is a number…

We give elementary proofs of some congruence criteria to compute binomial coefficients in modulo a prime. These criteria are analogues to the symmetry property of binomial coefficients. We give extended version of Lucas Theorem by using…

We give a generalization of Collatz conjecture or 3n+1 problem on 2-adic completion of Q. A isometric of $Q_2$ provides information on the average behavior of the firsts terms of the sequence according to the class of $u_0$ modulo $2^m$. A…

Let $G=\{e^{tA}:t\in\mathbb{R}\}$ be a closed one-parameter subgroup of the general linear group of matrices of order $n$ acting on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by matrix-vector multiplications. We assume that all eigenvalues of $A$ are rationally…

We develop a new method for proving algebraic independence of $G$-functions. Our approach rests on the following observation: $G$-functions do not always come with a single linear differential equation, but also sometimes with an infinite…

In this manuscript we discuss the notion of (statistical) independence embedded in its historical context. We focus in particular on its appearance and role in number theory, concomitantly exploring the intimate connection of independence…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

Based on the Goldbach conjecture and arithmetic fundamental theorem, the Goldbach conjecture was extended to more general situations, i.e., any positive integer can be written as summation of some specific prime numbers, which depends on…

In this paper, we give some counting results on integer polynomials of fixed degree and bounded height whose distinct non-zero roots are multiplicatively dependent. These include sharp lower bounds, upper bounds and asymptotic formulas for…

We provide a formula for the $n^{th}$ term of the $k$-generalized Fibonacci-like number sequence using the $k$-generalized Fibonacci number or $k$-nacci number, and by utilizing the newly derived formula, we show that the limit of the ratio…

A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…

We study generalized sums of linear orders. These are binary operations that, given linear orders $A$ and $B$, return an order $A \oplus B$ that can be decomposed as an isomorphic copy of $A$ interleaved with a copy of $B$. We show that…
