The starting point of this work is an equality between two quantities $A$ and $B$ found in the literature, which involve the {\em doubling-modulo-an-odd-integer} map, i.e., $x\in {\mathbb N} \mapsto 2x \bmod{(2n+1)}$ for some positive…

Let $\alpha=0.a_1a_2a_3\ldots$ be an irrational number in base $b>1$, where $0\leq a_i<b$. The number $\alpha \in (0,1)$ is a \textit{normal number} if every block $(a_{n+1}a_{n+2}\ldots a_{n+k})$ of $k$ digits occurs with probability…

In this note we extend our study of the rich geometry of the graph of a curve defined as the weighted sum of two exponentials. Let $\gamma_{a,b}^{s}: [0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be defined as $$\gamma_{a,b}^s(t) = (1-s) \exp(2 \pi i a t)…

For natural numbers $x$ and $b$, the classical Kaprekar function is defined as $K_{b} (x) = D-A$, where $D$ is the rearrangement of the base-$b$ digits of $x$ in descending order and $A$ is ascending. The bases $b$ for which $K_b$ has a…

For scientific computations on a digital computer the set of real number is usually approximated by a finite set F of "floating-point" numbers. We compare the numerical accuracy possible with difference choices of F having approximately the…

Given a positive integer $n$, the factorial base representation of $n$ is given by $n=\sum_{i=1}^ka_i\cdot i!$, where $a_k\neq 0$ and $0\leq a_i\leq i$ for all $1\leq i\leq k$. For $e\geq 1$, we define…

A well known result of Newman says that upto a limit, multiples of $3$ with even number of 1's in binary representation always exceed multiples of $3$ with odd number of 1's. The phenomenon of preponderance of even number of 1's is now…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $k$ and $\ell$ a prime integer. When $E$ has at least one $k$-rational point of exact order $\ell$, we derive a uniform upper bound $\exp(C \log B / \log \log B)$ for the number of…

Exponential growth occurs when the growth rate of a given quantity is proportional to the quantity's current value. Surprisingly, when exponential growth data is plotted as a simple histogram disregarding the time dimension, a remarkable…

Let n be a non-null positive integer and $d(n)$ is the number of positive divisors of n, called the divisor function. Of course, $d(n) \leq n$. $d(n) = 1$ if and only if $n = 1$. For $n > 2$ we have $d(n) \geq 2$ and in this paper we try to…

The main objective of this paper is to look from the unique point of view at some phenomena arising in different areas of probability theory and mathematical statistics. We will try to understand what is common between classical…

This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…

Answering a question of Donald Knuth, we find the bivariate exponential generating function for "up-up-or-down-down'' permutations of odd length according to their last entry. An up-up-or-down-down permutation is a permutation $a_1a_2\cdots…

The article is devoted to the study of exponential statistical structures of type B, which constitute a subclass of exponential families of probability distributions. This class is characterized by a number of analytical and probabilistic…

Various properties of the general two-center two-electron integral over the explicitly correlated exponential function are analyzed for the potential use in high precision calculations for diatomic molecules. A compact one dimensional…

Currently there is no known efficient formula for primes. Besides that, prime numbers have great importance in e.g., information technology such as public-key cryptography, and their position and possible or impossible functional generation…

Purpose of writing this paper is to solve a transcendental function containing a product of a variable and its double exponential by a unique method of approximation. If the value of the said product is given, then its inverse function is…

A $k$-Stirling permutation of order $n$ is said to be "flattened" if the leading terms of its increasing runs are in ascending order. We show that flattened $k$-Stirling permutations of order $n+1$ are in bijection correspondence with a…

Let us denote by $Z_b(n)$ the number of trailing zeroes in the base $b$ expansion of $n!$. In this paper we study with some detail the behavior of the function $Z_b$. In particular, since $Z_b$ is non-decreasing, we will characterize the…

We observe that the computation $5^2 = 25$ has the digital property of the result being equal to the exponent concatenated directly to the left of the base. The generalization to a Diophantine equation and inequality in number bases has…
