We extend a result of Han\v{c}l, Kolouch and Nair on the irrationality and transcendence of continued fractions. We show that for a sequence $\{\alpha_n\}$ of algebraic integers of bounded degree, each attaining the maximum absolute value…

The arithmetic partial derivative (with respect to a prime $p$) is a function from the set of integers that sends $p$ to 1 and satisfies the Leibniz rule. In this paper, we prove that the $p$-adic valuation of the sequence of higher order…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…

We introduce a method for showing that there exist prime numbers which are very close together. The method depends on the level of distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, we prove that…

Let $q, m\geq 2$ be integers with $(m,q-1)=1$. Denote by $s_q(n)$ the sum of digits of $n$ in the $q$-ary digital expansion. Further let $p(x)\in mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $h\geq 3$ with $p(\mathbb{N})\subset \mathbb{N}$. We…

We show that for every $r \geq 1$, and all $r$ distinct (sufficiently large) primes $p_1,..., p_r > p_0(r)$, there exist infinitely many integers $n$ such that ${2n \choose n}$ is divisible by these primes to only low multiplicity. From a…

We report that there are $49679870$ Carmichael numbers less than $10^{22}$ which is an order of magnitude improvement on Richard Pinch's prior work. We find Carmichael numbers of the form $n = Pqr$ using an algorithm bifurcated by the size…

The main result: for every sequence $\{\omega_m\}_{m=1}^\infty$ of positive numbers ($\omega_m>0)$ there exists an isometric embedding $F:[0,1]\to L_1[0,1]$ which is nowhere differentiable, but for each $t\in [0,1]$ the image $F_t$ is…

Let a be an integer and q a prime number. In this paper, we find an asymptotic formula for the number of positive integers n < x with the property that no divisor d > 1 of n lies in the arithmetic progression a modulo q.

An arithmetic formula is an expression involving only the constant $1$, and the binary operations of addition and multiplication, with multiplication by $1$ not allowed. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of arithmetic formulas…

Let L_t denote the t-th Lucas number. We prove that the Diophantine equation L_m^{n+k} + L_m^n = L_r has no solutions in positive integers r, m, n, and k with m >= 2. In the case n = 1, the proof is based on a precise factorization formula…

Consider the $n$th degree polynomial equation, $X^n+A_{n-1}X^{n-1}+...+A_1X+A_0=0$ over the ring of 2 by 2 complex matrices. If this equation has more than ${2n \choose 2}$ solutions, then it has infinitely many solutions. We show here that…
