In this article, we derive better results concerning powered numbers in short intervals, both unconditionally and conditionally on the $abc$-conjecture. We make use of sieve method, a polynomial identity, and a recent breakthrough result on…

Linear second order recursive sequences with arbitrary initial conditions are studied. For sequences with the same parameters a ring and a group is attached, and isomorphisms and homomorphisms are established for related parameters. In the…

We study certain aspects of the Selberg sieve, in particular when sifting by rather thin sets of primes. We derive new results for the lower bound sieve suited especially for this setup and we apply them in particular to give a new…

We look at a family of meta-Fibonacci sequences which arise in studying the number of leaves at the largest level in certain infinite sequences of binary trees, restricted compositions of an integer, and binary compact codes. For this…

We study some divisibility properties related to the factors of the discriminant of the characteristic polynomial of generalized Fibonacci sequences $(G_n)_{n\ge0}$ defined by $G_0=0$, $G_1=1$ and $G_n=pG_{n-1}+qG_{n-2}$ for $n\ge2$, where…

We give a survey of some known and some new results about factors of different sorts of $q-$Fibonacci numbers.

Here, we give upper and lower bounds on the count of positive integers $n\le x$ dividing the $n$th term of a nondegenerate linearly recurrent sequence with simple roots.

We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…

This paper describes a class of sequences that are in many ways similar to Fibonacci sequences: given n, sum the previous two terms and divide them by the largest possible power of n. The behavior of such sequences depends on n. We analyze…

In this article, we try to explain and unify standard divisibility tests found in various books. We then look at recurring decimals, and list a few of their properties. We show how to compute the number of digits in the recurring part of…

Denote by $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{P}$ the set of all positive integers and prime numbers, respectively. Let $\mathbb{P}=\{p_1<p_2<\dots <p_n<\dots\}$, where $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime number. For $k\in\mathbb{N}$ we recursively define…

We give an example of a vector bundle E on a relative curve C --> Spec Z such that the restriction to the generic fiber in characteristic zero is semistable but such that the restriction to positive characteristic p is not strongly…

We study the existence of primes and of primitive divisors in classical divisibility sequences defined over function fields. Under various hypotheses, we prove that Lucas sequences and elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields…

In this note we investigate the problem of determining elements of the Selberg class from their Dirichlet series coefficients at the primes. We show that this is possible when the degree is one, but in general need an additional weak…

Wall published a paper in 1960 on the Fibonacci sequence where he derived many results concerning the period and prime power divisibility modulo m. His periodicity results have been generalized to second order linear recurrences. Here we…

Recently in joint work with E. Sert, we proved sharp boundedness results on discrete fractional integral operators along binary quadratic forms. Present work vastly enhances the scope of those results by extending boundedness to bivariate…

In this paper we study the Fibonacci numbers and derive some interesting properties and recurrence relations. We prove some charecterizations for $F_p$, where $p$ is a prime of a certain type. We also define period of a Fibonacci sequence…

Strong Feller property and irreducibility are study for a class of non-linear monotone stochastic partial differential equations with multiplicative noise. H\"older continuity of the associated Markov semigroups are discussed in some…

We study primitive divisors of terms of the sequence P_n=n^2+b, for a fixed integer b which is not a negative square. It seems likely that the number of terms with a primitive divisor has a natural density. This seems to be a difficult…

We study the distribution of sequences of the form $(q_ny)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set…
