In this paper, we introduce a metric on the set of pairs of coprime natural numbers. We explicitly construct a quasi-isometric embedding from the set of natural numbers into this metric space via Fibonacci numbers.
To study orthogonal arrays and signed orthogonal arrays, Ray-Chaudhuri and Singhi (1988 and 1994) considered some module spaces. Here, using a linear algebraic approach we define an inclusion matrix and find its rank. In the special case of…
Computing the roots of a univariate polynomial is a fundamental and long-studied problem of computational algebra with applications in mathematics, engineering, computer science, and the natural sciences. For isolating as well as for…
Aperiodic algebras are infinite dimensional algebras with generators corresponding to an element of the aperiodic set. These algebras proved to be an useful tool in studying elementary excitations that can propagate in multilayered…
We study $q$-analogues of $k$-Fibonacci numbers that arise from weighted tilings of an $n\times1$ board with tiles of length at most $k$. The weights on our tilings arise naturally out of distributions of permutations statistics and set…
In this paper, we analyze the two geometrical passages in Plato's Meno, (81c -- 85c) and (86e4 -- 87b2), from the points of view of a geometer in Plato's time and today. We give, in our opinion, a complete explanation of the difficult…
We show among others that the formula: $$ \lfloor n + \log_{\Phi}\{\sqrt{5}(\log_{\Phi}(\sqrt{5}n) + n) -5 + \frac{3}{n}\} - 2 \rfloor (n \geq 2), $$ (where $\Phi$ denotes the golden ratio and $\lfloor \rfloor$ denotes the integer part)…
This paper presents a detailed, self-contained proof of a BBP-type formula for $\pi^2$ expressed in the golden ratio base, $\phi$. The formula was discovered empirically by the author in 2004. The proof presented herein is built upon a…
This paper analyzes a special instance of nonsymmetric algebraic matrix Riccati equations arising from transport theory. Traditional approaches for finding the minimal nonnegative solution of the matrix Riccati equations are based on the…
An existing solvability result for relaxed one-sided Lipschitz algebraic inclusions is substantially improved. This enhanced solvability result allows the design of a very robust numerical method for the approximation of a solution of the…
It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…
This is a detailed write-up of Koll\'ar's course at the EMS summer school in Algebraic Geometry in Eger, Hungary, August 1996. The topics include definitions and examples of rational and unirational varieties, with special attention to…
This work exploits the logical foundation of session types to determine what kind of type discipline for the pi-calculus can exactly capture, and is captured by, lambda-calculus behaviours. Leveraging the proof theoretic content of the…
The classification of algebraic surfaces by the Italian School of algebraic geometry is universally recognized as a breakthrough in 20th-century mathematics. The methods by which it was achieved do not, however, meet the modern standard of…
In this comment we propose a novel explanation for the Leonardo's rule concerning the tree branching. According to Leonardo's notebooks he observed that if one observes the branches of a tree, the squared radius of the principal branch is…
The Volterra calculus is a simple and powerful pseudodifferential tool for inverting parabolic equations and it has also found many applications in geometric analysis. On the other hand, an important property in the theory of…
The fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ is a non-local operator which depends on the parameter $\alpha$ and recovers the usual Laplacian as $\alpha \to 2$. A numerical method for the fractional Laplacian is proposed, based on the…
An interesting open problem in number theory asks whether it is possible to walk to infinity on primes, where each term in the sequence has one more digit than the previous. In this paper, we study its variation where we walk on the…
Asymptotic approximations to the zeros of Jacobi polynomials are given, with methods to obtain the coefficients in the expansions. These approximations can be used as standalone methods for the non-iterative computation of the nodes of…
The notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' is introduced. Two coupled sequences of non-negative integers are obtained from an ordered pair of positive real numbers in a manner that generalizes the notion of continued fractions. These…
