This note concerns the non-existence of three consecutive powerful numbers. We use Pell equations, elliptic curves, and second-order recurrences to show that there are no such triplets with the middle term a perfect cube and each of the…
In 1737 Leonard Euler gave what we often now think of as a new proof, based on infinite series, of Euclid's theorem that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Our short paper uses a simple modification of Euler's argument to obtain new…
The effective technique for analyzing representation-independent features of quantum systems based on the semiclassical approximation (developed elsewhere), has been successfully used in the context of the canonical (Weyl) algebra of the…
We prove that the Dirichlet problem for the Lane-Emden equation in a half-space has no positive solution which is monotone in the normal direction. As a consequence, this problem does not admit any positive classical solution which is…
We prove the non-existence of elliptic curves having good reduction everywhere over some real quadratic fields.
The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…
In this article, we shall explore the constructions of Bernstein sets, and prove that every Bernstein set is nonmeasurable and doesn't have the property of Baire. We shall also prove that Bernstein sets don't have the perfect set property.
We show that there are many (compact) convex semi-algebraic sets in euclidean space that do not have a semidefinite representation. This gives a negative answer to a question by Nemirovski, resp. it shows that the Helton-Nie conjecture is…
This research presents the results of a study on the existence and frequency distribution of the shell primes defined herein as prime numbers that result from the calculation of the "half-shell" of an p-dimensional entity of the form…
It is well known that a domain without proper strongly divisorial ideals is completely integrally closed. In this paper we show that a domain without {\em prime} strongly divisorial ideals is not necessarily completely integrally closed,…
An odd perfect number $N$ is said to be given in Eulerian form if $N = {q^k}{n^2}$ where $q$ is prime with $q \equiv k \equiv 1 \pmod 4$ and $\gcd(q,n) = 1$. Similarly, an even perfect number $M$ is said to be given in Euclidean form if $M…
The problem of constructing a perfect Euler cuboid is reduced to a single Diophantine equation of the degree 12.
We establish uniform a-priori estimates for solutions of the semilinear Dirichlet problem \begin{equation} \begin{cases} (-\Delta)^m u=h(x,u)\quad&\mbox{in }\Omega,\\ u=\partial_nu=\cdots=\partial_n^{m-1}u=0\quad&\mbox{on }\partial\Omega,…
We consider a semilinear elliptic equation in a bounded domain with zero boundary conditions. The nonlinearity is discontinuous and monotone, but it is not a Carath\'eodory's function. The existence theorem has been proved.
We prove that there are thirteen Archimedean/semiregular polyhedra by using Euler's polyhedral formula.
Let~$S^{n-1}\rightarrow E \rightarrow M^n$ be an oriented sphere bundle supporting an affine transverse foliation. We give an upper bound for the Euler number of the bundle. We also give a new and elementary proof of the following fact: if…
In this note we consider a semilinear elliptic equation in $B_R$ with the nonlinear boundary condition, where $B_R$ is a ball of radius $R$. Under certain conditions, we establish a sufficient condition on the non-existence of solutions…
Richard Guy asked the following question: can we find a triangle with rational sides, medians, and area? Such a triangle is called a \emph{perfect triangle} and no example has been found to date. It is widely believed that such a triangle…
In this article, we present that for any complex manifold whose dimension is bigger than one, there exists a multiplier ideal sheaf such that there don't exist equisingular weights with logarithmic poles, which are not smaller than the…
We prove that there are no nontrivial finite-dimensional Lie representations of certain Poisson algebras of polynomials on a compact symplectic manifold. This result is used to establish the existence of a universal obstruction to…
