We use Turan type inequalities to give new non-asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials in terms of the coefficients of their three term recurrence. Most of our results deal with symmetric polynomials satisfying the…

In this paper, we prove the following result: {quote} Let $\A$ be an infinite set of positive integers. For all positive integer $n$, let $\tau_n$ denote the smallest element of $\A$ which does not divide $n$. Then we have $$\lim_{N \to +…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ as $n \to \infty$, where $\alpha_n$ is a sequence of negative parameters such that $-\alpha_n/n$ tends to a limit $A > 1$ as $n \to \infty$. These polynomials…

We examine the convergence properties of sequences of nonnegative real numbers that satisfy a particular class of recursive inequalities, from the perspective of proof theory and computability theory. We first establish a number of results…

Fix a finite set $S \subset {GL}(k,\mathbb{Z})$. Denote by $a_n$ the number of products of matrices in $S$ of length $n$ that are equal to 1. We show that the sequence $\{a_n\}$ is not always P-recursive. This answers a question of…

Let $P,Q\in\Bbb Z$, $U_0=0,\ U_1=1$ and $U_{n+1}=PU_n-QU_{n+1}$. In this paper we obtain a general congruence for $U_{kmn^r}/U_k\pmod {n^{r+1}}$, where $k,m,n,r$ are positive integers. As applications we extend Lucas' law of repetition and…

Let $\{U(m)\}_{m\in \N}$ and $\{V(n)\}_{n\in \N}$ be linear recurrence sequences. It is a well-known Diophantine problem to determine the finiteness of the set of natural numbers $n$ such that the ratio $U(n)/V(n)$ is an integer. We study…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

In this paper, we introduce the power-partible reduction for holonomic (or, P-recursive) sequences and apply it to obtain a series of congruences for Ap\'ery numbers $A_k$. In particular, we prove that, for any $r\in\mathbb{N}$, there…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be $k$-layered if its divisors can be partitioned into $k$ sets with equal sum. In this paper, we start the systematic study of these class of numbers. In particular, we state some algorithms to find some…

We propose a recursive algorithm for identifying all finite sequences of positive integers whose product equals their sum. Our method uses solutions of strictly shorter length that are iteratively extended in pursuit of a valid solution.…

In this paper certain Tur\'an type inequalities for some Lommel functions of the first kind are deduced. The key tools in our proofs are the infinite product representation for these Lommel functions of the first kind, a classical result of…

We consider the following question: Which real sequences (a(n)) that satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients are positive for sufficiently large n? We show that the answer is negative for both (a(n)) and (-a(n)), if the…

Recently, Z. W. Sun put forward a series of conjectures on monotonicity of combinatorial sequences in the form of $\{z_n/z_{n-1}\}_{n=N}^\infty$ and $\{\sqrt[n+1]{z_{n+1}}/\sqrt[n]{z_n}\}_{n=N}^\infty$ for some positive integer $N$, where…

The main point of this paper is to present a class of equations over integers that one can check if they have a solution by checking a set of inequalities. The prototype of such equations is the equations appearing in the well-known…

A three-point iterative method for solving scalar non-linear equations was selected and then adapted to solve systems of non-linear equations. Subsequently, by applying Taylor's theorem to functions of $\R^{n}$ in $\R^{n}$, it is shown that…

This note is devoted to study the recurrent numerical sequence defined by: $a_0 = 0$, $a_n = \frac{n}{2} a_{n - 1} + (n - 1)!$ ($\forall n \geq 1$). Although, it is immediate that ${(a_n)}_n$ is constituted of rational numbers with…

In this paper, we shall find a new connection between $n$th degree polynomial mod $p$ congruence with $n$ roots and higher-order Fibonacci and Lucas sequences. We shall first discuss the recent work been done in sequences and their…

Linear statistics of eigenvalues in many familiar classes of random matrices are known to obey gaussian central limit theorems. The proofs of such results are usually rather difficult, involving hard computations specific to the model in…

One of the fundamental theorems of uniform distribution theory states that the fractional parts of the sequence $(n \alpha)_{n \geq 1}$ are uniformly distributed modulo one (u.d. mod 1) for every irrational number $\alpha$. Another…
