In 1987, Dan Gordon defined an elliptic curve analogue to Carmichael numbers known as elliptic Carmichael numbers. In this paper, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic Carmichael numbers. In doing so, we resolve in the…
The sum of elliptic integrals simultaneously determines orbits in thr Kepler problem and the addition of divisors on elliptic curves. Periodic motion of a body in physical space is defined by symmetries, whereas periodic motion of divisors…
Special unextendible entangled basis of "type $k$" (SUEBk), a set of incomplete orthonormal special entangled states of "type $k$" whose complementary space has no special entangled state of "type $k$". This concept can be seem as a…
We develop a qualitative homogenisation and spectral theory for elliptic systems of partial differential equations in divergence form with highly contrasting (i.e., non uniformly elliptic) random coefficients. The focus of the paper is on…
We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…
In this paper we investigate the problem of identifying the source term in an elliptic system from a single noisy measurement couple of the Neumann and Dirichlet data. A variational method of Tikhonov-type regularization with specific…
A comprehensive convergence and stability analysis of some probabilistic numerical methods designed to solve Cauchy-type inverse problems is performed in this study. Such inverse problems aim at solving an elliptic partial differential…
Addressing a problem posed by W. Li and A. Wei (2009), we investigate the average number of (complex) zeros of a random harmonic polynomial $p(z) + \overline{q(z)}$ sampled from the Kac ensemble, i.e., where the coefficients are independent…
For a general formulation of linearised hybrid inverse problems in impedance tomography, the qualitative properties of the solutions are analysed. Using an appropriate scalar pseudo-differential formulation, the problems are shown to permit…
Finding the $n$-th positive square number is easy, as it is simply $n^2$. But how do we find the complementary sequence, i.e., the $n$-th positive non-square number? For this case there is an explicit formula. However, for general…
The Ehrhart polynomial and Ehrhart series count lattice points in integer dilations of a lattice polytope. We introduce and study a $q$-deformation of the Ehrhart series, based on the notions of harmonic spaces and Macaulay's inverse…
Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…
Recently, Mneimneh proved the remarkable identity \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^n H_k\binom{n}{k} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1-(1-p)^i}{i}\quad (p\in [0,1]) \end{align*} as the main result of a 2023 \emph{Discrete Mathematics} paper,…
In a previous work, we developed the idea to solve Kepler's equation with a CORDIC-like algorithm, which does not require any division, but still multiplications in each iteration. Here we overcome this major shortcoming and solve Kepler's…
We propose a generic algorithm for computing the inverses of a multiplicative function under the assumption that the set of inverses is finite. More generally, our algorithm can compute certain functions of the inverses, such as their power…
Some finite series of harmonic numbers involving certain reciprocals are evaluated. Products of such reciprocals are expanded in a sum of the individual reciprocals, leading to a computer program. A list of examples is provided.
Two infinite sets $A$ and $B$ of non-negative integers are called \emph{perfect additive complements of non-negative integers}, if every non-negative integer can be uniquely expressed as the sum of elements from $A$ and $B$. In this paper,…
Let $h,k \ge 2$ be integers. A set $A$ of positive integers is called asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be written as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is said to be a…
Asymptotic symmetries of black hole spacetimes have received much attention as a possible origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in black hole thermodynamics. In general, it takes hard efforts to find appropriate asymptotic conditions on…
We consider nested sums involving the Pochhammer symbol at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi,$ $\log(2)$ or zeta values. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as…
