Let $Q(n,k)$ be the number of $n$-ary quasigroups of order $k$. We derive a recurrent formula for Q(n,4). We prove that for all $n\geq 2$ and $k\geq 5$ the following inequalities hold: $({k-3}/2)^{n/2}(\frac{k-1}2)^{n/2} < log_2 Q(n,k) \leq…
The arithmetic average of the first $n$ primes, $\bar p_n = {1\over n} \sum_{i=1}^n p_i$, exhibits very many interesting and subtle properties. Since the transformation from $p_n \to \bar p_n$ is extremely easy to invert, $p_n = n\bar p_n -…
We derive an asymptotic expansion with effective error bound for $u(n)$, counting the number of unimodal sequences of size $n$. We prove that $u(n)$ satisfies the higher order Tur\'{a}n inequalities for $n\geq33$ and that certain second…
Hayes equivalence is defined on monic polynomials over a finite field $\fq$ in terms of the prescribed leading coefficients and the residue classes modulo a given monic polynomial $Q$. We study the distribution of the number of zeros in a…
In this paper, we study equations over Brandt semigroup $B_n$. We compute that the number of unsolvable equations in one variable asymptotically equals $\frac{2}{n^2}$, and the average number of solutions of these equations asymptotically…
A Littlewood polynomial is a single-variable polynomial all of whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. We establish the leading term asymptotics of the number of reciprocal or skew-reciprocal Littlewood polynomials with square discriminant.…
It is proved in this paper that for any point on an elliptic curve, the mean value of x-coordinates of its n-division points is the same as its x-coordinate and that of y-coordinates of its n-division points is n times of its y-coordinate.
We prove that the average size of the squares of differences between consecutive primes less than $x$ is $O(x^{0.23+\varepsilon})$ for any fixed $\varepsilon>0$. This improves on a result of Peck, who gave bound $O(x^{0.25+\varepsilon})$ in…
We study the arithmetic function sopfr$(n)$ (OEIS A001414) which gives the sum of prime factors (with repetition) of a number $n$. In particular we obtain the asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \rm{sopfr}(n) \sim \frac{\pi^2}{12}…
We propose a formula for finding the horizontal, oblique or curvilinear asymptote of any rational polynomial function of any positive degree, as a sum of matrix determinants formed directly from the coefficients of the terms in the given…
Keating and Snaith showed that the $2k^{th}$ absolute moment of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix evaluated on the unit circle is given by a polynomial of degree $k^2$. In this article, uniform asymptotics for the…
The paper considers a universal approach that allows one to quite simply obtain nonlinear asymptotic estimates of various summation functions. It is shown the application of this approach to the asymptotic estimation of divergent Dirichlet…
In this paper, we develop a method of evaluating general exponential sums with rational amplitude functions for multiple variables which complements works by T. Cochrane and Z. Zheng on the single variable case. As an application, for…
The analysis of strings of $n$ random variables with geometric distribution has recently attracted renewed interest: Archibald et al. consider the number of distinct adjacent pairs in geometrically distributed words. They obtain the…
The concept of the cyclic averages are introduced for a regular polygon $P_n$ and a Platonic solid $T_n$. It is shown that cyclic averages of equal powers are the same for various $P_n(T_n)$, but their number is characteristic of…
Let K be a d-dimensional convex body, and let $K^{(n)}$ be the intersection of n halfspaces containing $K$ whose bounding hyperplanes are independent and identically distributed. Under suitable distributional assumptions, we prove an…
In this paper we propose a new approach for sequential monitoring of a parameter of a $d$-dimensional time series, which can be estimated by approximately linear functionals of the empirical distribution function. We consider a…
We introduce the sequence $(a_n) \subset (0,1]$ and prove that the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{k=1}^n a_k$ is the same than $\pi(n)$, the prime-counting function. We also obtain that $\pi(n) \sim n a_n$ and we estimate…
In this article, $q$-regular sequences in the sense of Allouche and Shallit are analysed asymptotically. It is shown that the summatory function of a regular sequence can asymptotically be decomposed as a finite sum of periodic fluctuations…
Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ a positive integer such that $\sqrt{\frac p2} + 1 \leq n \leq \sqrt{p}$. For any arithmetic progression $A$ of length $n$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of directions…
