The evolution, as functions of the "ticking time" $\ell =0,1,2,...$, of the solutions of the system of $N$ quadratic recursions \begin{eqnarray*} x_{n}\left( \ell +1\right) =c_{n}+\sum_{m=1}^{N}\left[ C_{nm}x_{m}\left( \ell \right) \right]…
Let p > 2 be a prime number and let N be any rational integer. We consider the p-class groups Cl(L), Cl(M) of the fields $L:=Q(N^{1/p})$ and $M:=Q(N^{1/p},\mu_p)$, by comparison with the p-torsion groups T(L) and T(M) of the abelian…

We consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian with a singular term and a $(p-1)$-linear perturbation which is resonant at $+\infty$ with respect to the principal eigenvalue. Using variational tools,…
Recursive formulas are derived for the number of solutions of linear and quadratic Diophantine equations with positive coefficients. This result is further extended to general non-linear additive Diophantine equations. It is shown that all…

It is shown that the solutions of certain systems of nonlinear \"Orst-order recursions with polynomial right-hand sides may be rather easily ascertained, and display interesting evolutions in their ticking time variable (taking integer…
We study the nonlinear one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian equation $$ -(y'^{(p-1)})'+(p-1)q(x)y^{(p-1)}=(p-1)w(x)f(y) on (0,1),$$ with linear separated boundary conditions. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions with…
For coprime nonzero integers $a$ and $b$, a positive integer $\ell$ is said to be {\em good} with respect to $a$ and $b$ if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $\ell |(a^{k}+b^{k})$. Since the early 1990s, such classical good…
In this paper a class of simple, but nonlinear, systems of recursions involving $2$ dependent variables $x_{j}\left( n\right) $ is identified, such that the solutions of their initial-values problems -- with arbitrary initial data…
It is shown that for any prime $p$ and any natural numbers $\ell, m,$ and $s$ such that $0<s<p$, the three following congruences \begin{align*}\sum_{i\ge \ell+1}(-1)^{m-i} {m \choose i}{m+s-1+i(p-1) \choose m+s-1+\ell(p-1)} &\equiv 0 \bmod…
We study properties of nonnegative functions satisfying (E)$\;-\Delta u+u^p-M|\nabla u|^q=0$ is a domain of $\mathbb{R}^N$ when $p>1$, $M>0$ and $1<q<p$. We concentrate our analysis on the solutions of (E) with an isolated singularity, or…
We recast homogeneous linear recurrence sequences with fixed coefficients in terms of partial Bell polynomials, and use their properties to obtain various combinatorial identities and multifold convolution formulas. Our approach relies on a…
For each 1 < p < infinity, there exists a positive constant c_p, depending only on p, such that the following holds. Let (d_k), (e_k) be real-valued martingale difference sequences. If for for all bounded nonnegative predictable sequences…
The main result is the following Theorem: Let p=p(n) be such that p(n) in [0,1] for all n and either p(n)<< n^{-1} or for some positive integer k, n^{-1/k}<< p(n)<< n^{-1/(k+1)} or for all epsilon >0, n^{- epsilon}<< p(n) and n^{-…
In this paper we firstly review how to \textit{explicitly} solve a system of $3$ \textit{first-order linear recursions }and outline the main properties of these solutions. Next, via a change of variables, we identify a class of systems of…
We prove unconditionally that for each $\ell \geq 1$, the difference $\phi(p-\ell) - \phi(p+\ell)$ is positive for $50\%$ of odd primes $p$ and negative for $50\%$.
We show that $\ell_p$ norms are characterized as the unique norms which are both invariant under coordinate permutation and multiplicative with respect to tensor products. Similarly, the $L_p$ norms are the unique rearrangement-invariant…
We study positive solutions of equation (E) $-\Delta u + u^p|\nabla u|^q= 0$ ($0<p$, $0\leq q\leq 2$, $p+q>1$) and other related equations in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^N$. We show that if $N(p+q-1)<p+1$ then, for…
