We show that sequences of positive integers whose ratios $a_n^2/a_{n+1}$ lie within a specific range are almost uniquely determined by their reciprocal sums. For instance, the Sylvester sequence is uniquely characterized as the only…

Given an eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $n-$spheres or $-$hemispheres, with multiplicity $m$ such that $\lambda=\lambda_{k}=\dots = \lambda_{k+m-1}$, we characterise the lowest and highest orders in the set…

An extensive number of numerical computations of energy 1/$N$ series using a recursive Taylor series method are presented in this paper. The series are computed to a high order of approximation and their behaviour on increasing the order of…

We estimate character sums with n!, on average, and individually. These bounds are used to derive new results about various congruences modulo a prime p and obtain new information about the spacings between quadratic nonresidues modulo p.…

We consider conditions for the convergence of sequences in terms of positive and alternating Perron expansions ($P$-representation and $P^-$-representation). These conditions are crucial to determine the continuity of functions that are…

The Ap\'ery numbers may be defined by a cubic three-term recurrence relation, that is, a three-term relation where the coefficients are polynomials in the index of degree $3$. In this work, we first provide a systematic review of Ap\'ery…

We obtain solutions to the recursive sequences of the form $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{x_{n - 3}x_{n }}{x_{n - 2}(a_n + b_nx_{n -3}x_{n})}$$ where $a_n$ and $b_n$ are arbitrary sequences of real numbers, and the initial values are gives as;…

We address the general mathematical problem of computing the inverse $p$-th root of a given matrix in an efficient way. A new method to construct iteration functions that allow calculating arbitrary $p$-th roots and their inverses of…

The famous $n$-queens problem asks how many ways there are to place $n$ queens on an $n \times n$ chessboard so that no two queens can attack one another. The toroidal $n$-queens problem asks the same question where the board is considered…

Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{n!\}$ leads naturally to the counting formula for the derangements. In this paper we study Euler's difference table associated to the sequence $\{\ell^n n!\}$ and the generalized…

In recent years, the log-concavity of $\{\sqrt[n]{S_n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ have been received a lot of attention. Very recently, Sun posed the following conjecture in his new book: the sequences $\{\sqrt[n]{a_n}\}_{n\geq 2}$ and $\{…

Infinite series sum_{n=1}^infty {(alpha/2)_n / (n n!)}_1F_1(-n, gamma, x^2), where_1F_1(-n, gamma, x^2)={n!_(gamma)_n}L_n^(gamma-1)(x^2), appear in the first-order perturbation correction for the wavefunction of the generalized spiked…

Let $p_n$ be $n$th prime, and let $(S_n)_{n=1}^\infty:=(S_n)$ be the sequence of the sums of the first $2n$ consecutive primes, that is, $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^{2n}p_k$ with $n=1,2,\ldots$. Heuristic arguments supported by the corresponding…

We give a short proof of a result of G. Paouris on the tail behaviour of the Euclidean norm $|X|$ of an isotropic log-concave random vector $X\in\R^n$, stating that for every $t\geq 1$, $P(|X|\geq ct\sqrt n)\leq \exp(-t\sqrt n)$. More…

We present a finite-order system of recurrence relations for a permanent of circulant matrices containing a band of k any-value diagonals on top of a uniform matrix (for k = 1, 2, and 3) as well as the method for deriving such recurrence…

We derive heuristically the approximate formula for the difference $\sqrt{p_{n+1}} - \sqrt{p_n}$, where $p_n$ is the n-th prime. We find perfect agreement between this formula and the available data from the list of maximal gaps between…

Heim, Neuhauser, and Tr\"oger recently established some inequalities for MacMahon's plane partition function $\mathrm{PL}(n)$ that generalize known results for Euler's partition function $p(n)$. They also conjectured that $\mathrm{PL}(n)$…

We investigate the intertwining of Laguerre processes of parameter $\alpha$ in different dimensions. We introduce a Feller kernel that depends on $\alpha $ and intertwines the $\alpha$-Laguerre process in $N+1$ dimensions and that in $N$…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…

We analyze algorithms for computing the $n$th prime $p_n$ and establish asymptotic bounds for several approaches. Using existing results on the complexity of evaluating the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$, we show that the binary search…
