Using a quartic surface and its rational curves we can give an infinite number of integer hexahedra; these are 6 sided 3d solids, each face a trapezoid, with all sides and diagonals having intger lengths.

Let $\mathbf H_2$ denote the set of even integers $n \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3$. We prove that when $H \ge X^{0.33}$, almost all integers $n \in \mathbf H_2$, $X < n \le X + H$ can be represented as the sum of a prime and the square of a prime.…

We discuss the problem of finding distinct integer sets $\{x_1,x_2,...,x_n\}$ where each sum $x_i+x_j, i \ne j$ is a square, and $n \le 7$. We confirm minimal results of Lagrange and Nicolas for $n=5$ and for the related problem with…

Enumerative algebraic geometry counts the solutions to certain geometric constraints. Numerical algebraic geometry determines these solutions for any given instance. This article illustrates how these two fields complement each other. Our…

In a recent paper, one of us posed three open problems concerning squarefree arithmetic progressions in infinite words. In this note we solve these problems and prove some additional results.

Using a specific form of the triple product identity, polygonal number identities are stated. Further number identities are examined that can be considered identities related to modular sets of numbers. The identities can be used to give…

In this paper 101 new integer sequences, sub-sequences, and sequences of sequences, together with related unsolved problems and conjectures, are presented. Also, definitions, examples, solved or open questions, and references for each…

It is classically known that the circle method produces an asymptotic for the number of representations of a tuple of integers $(n_1,\ldots,n_R)$ by a system of quadratic forms $Q_1,\ldots, Q_R$ in $k$ variables, as long as $k$ is…

Let k_1,...,k_d be positive integers, and D be a subset of [k_1]x...x[k_d], whose complement can be decomposed into disjoint sets of the form {x_1}x...x{x_{s-1}}x[k_s]x{x_{s+1}}x...x{x_d}. We conjecture that the number of elements of D can…

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…

Solving a problem by Erd\H{o}s, we prove that every positive integer $n$ can be written as a sum $$n = b_{1} + b_{2} + \ldots + b_{r}$$ of distinct $3$-smooth integers with $1 \le b_{1} < b_{2} < \ldots < b_{r} < 6b_{1}$.

This note provides very simple, efficient algorithms for computing the number of distinct longest common subsequences of two input strings and for computing the number of LCS embeddings.

Let $q\ge 3$ be a non-exceptional modulus $q\ge3$, and let $a$ be a positive integer coprime with $q$. For any $\epsilon>0$, there exists $\alpha>0$ (computable), such that for all $x\ge \alpha (\log q)^2$, the interval $\left[…

Some cubic polynomials over the integers have three distinct real roots with continued fractions that all have the same common tail. We characterize the polynomials for which this happens, and then investigate the situation for other…

We prove a conjecture posted in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, namely that there are exactly five positive integers that can be written in more than one way as the sum of a nonnegative power of 2 and a nonnegative power of 3.…

For integer $g\ge 5$, we prove that any positive integer can be written as a sum of three palindromes in base $g$.

We consider certain families of integers $n$ determined by some congruence condition, such that the global root number of the elliptic curve $E_{-432n^2}: Y^2=X^3-432n^2$ is $1$ for every $n$, however a given $n$ may or may not be a sum of…

In this paper, we consider the simultaneous representation of pairs of sufficiently large integers. We prove that every pair of large positive odd integers can be represented in the form of a pair of one prime, four cubes of primes and 231…

In this paper, we prove some results of restricted sums of four squares using arithmetic of quaternions in the ring of Lipschitz integers. For example, we show that every nonnegative integer $n$ can be written as $x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+t^{2}$…

Let $k\geq2$ be an integer. The aim of this paper is to investigate the distribution of $k$-full integers between three successive $k$-th powers. More precisely, for any integers $\ell,m\ge0$, we establish the explicit asymptotic density…
