Let $a$ and $b$ be relatively prime integers. Then the first Lucas sequence $\left(U_n\right)_{n\geq0}$ and the second Lucas sequence $\left(V_n\right)_{n\geq0}$ are defined respectively by $U_{n+2}=aU_{n+1}+bU_{n},\, U_0=0,\,U_1=1$ and…

A permutiple is a natural number that is a nontrivial multiple of a permutation of its digits in some base. Special cases of permutiples include cyclic numbers (multiples of cyclic permutations of their digits) and palintiple numbers…

While a mature body of work supports the study of rewriting systems, abstract tools for Probabilistic Rewriting are still limited. In this paper we study the question of uniqueness of the result (unique limit distribution), and develop a…

Let $k\geq 2$ and let $(P_{n}^{(k)})_{n\geq 2-k}$ be $k$-generalized Pell sequence defined by \begin{equation*}P_{n}^{(k)}=2P_{n-1}^{(k)}+P_{n-2}^{(k)}+...+P_{n-k}^{(k)}\end{equation*} for $n\geq 2$ with initial conditions…

By applying the classic telescoping summation formula and its variants to identities involving inverse hyperbolic tangent functions having inverse powers of the golden ratio as arguments and employing subtle properties of the Fibonacci and…

A subgroup H of G=(Z/dZ)^* is called balanced if every coset of H is evenly distributed between the lower and upper halves of G, i.e., has equal numbers of elements with representatives in (0,d/2) and (d/2,d). This notion has applications…

In current work, non-familiar shifted Lucas polynomials are introduced. We have constructed a computational wavelet technique for solution of initial/boundary value second order differential equations. For this numerical scheme, we have…

In this note, we establish a new closed formula for the solution of homogeneous second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients by using matrix theory. This, in turn, gives new closed formulas concerning all sequences of…

This paper provides a proof of a LLT-like test for Fermat numbers, based on the properties of Lucas Sequences and on the method of Lehmer.

Let $[\, x\,]$ denote the integer part of a real number $x$. Assume that $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign, that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational, and that $\eta$ is real. Let…

We prove new results on the additive theory of reversed primes $\overleftarrow{p}$; that is, primes $p$ which are written backwards in a fixed base $b\geq 2$. In particular, we study a variant of Goldbach's conjecture, looking at…

In this work, we define a more general family of polynomials in several variables satisfying a linear recurrence relation. Then we provide explicit formulas and determinantal expressions. Finally, we apply these results to recurrent…

We say that an arithmetical function $S:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ has Lucas property if for any prime $p$, \begin{equation*} S(n)\equiv S(n_{0})S(n_{1})\ldots S(n_{r})\pmod p, \end{equation*} where $n=\sum_{i=0}^{r}n_{i}p^{i}$, with…

In this work, we made a generalization that includes all bicomplex Fibonacci-like numbers such as; Fibonacci, Lucas, Pell, etc.. We named this generalization as bicomplex Horadam numbers. For bicomplex Fibonacci and Lucas numbers we gave…

Benford's Law describes the prevalence of small numbers as the leading digits of numbers in many sets of integers. We prove a variant of Benford's law for many positive-density subsets of the primes. This follows from a more general result…

We introduce the concept of a quasiresiduated lattice and prove that every lattice effect algebra can be organized into a commutative quasiresiduated lattice with divisibility. Also conversely, every such a lattice can be converted into a…

We study triples of labeled dice in which the relation "is a better die than" is non-transitive. Focusing on such triples with an additional symmetry we call "balance," we prove that such triples of $n$-sided dice exist for all $n \geq 3$.…

We consider the Markoff-Rosenberger equation $$ax^2+by^2+cz^2=dxyz$$ with $(x,y,z)=(U_i,U_j,U_k),$ where $U_i$ denotes the $i$-th generalized Lucas number of first/second kind. We provide upper bound for the minimum of the indices and we…

We give an overview about well-known basic properties of two classes of q-Fibonacci and q-Lucas polynomials and offer a common generalization.

The class of weak BCK-algebras is obtained by weakening one of standard BCK axioms. It is known that every weak BCK-algebra is completely determined by the structure of its initial segments. We review several natural classes of commutative…
