A Sierpi\'nski number is a positive odd integer $k$ such that $k \cdot 2^n + 1$ is composite for all positive integers $n$. Fix an integer $A$ with $2 \le A$. We show that there exists a positive odd integer $k$ such that $k\cdot a^n + 1$…

Let $b\geq 2$ be an integer. We call an integer $k$ a $b$-Sierpi\'{n}ski number if $\gcd(k+1,b-1)=1$ and $k\cdot b^n+1$ is composite for all positive integers $n$. We similarly call $k$ a $b$-Riesel number if $\gcd(k-1,b-1)=1$ and $k\cdot…

A repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, i.e., a number has the form $d(10^m-1)/9$ for some $m\geq 1$ and $1 \leq d \leq 9$. Let $\left(T_n\right)_{n\ge0}$ be the sequence of Tribonacci.…

In this paper, we investigate the existence of Sierpi\'{n}ski numbers and Riesel numbers as binomial coefficients. We show that for any odd positive integer $r$, there exist infinitely many Sierpi\'{n}ski numbers and Riesel numbers of the…

A Sierpinski number is an odd positive integer, k, such that no positive integer of the form k * 2^n + 1 is prime. Similar to a Sierpinski number, a Riesel number is an odd positive integer, k, such that no positive integer of the form k *…

In 1960, W. Sierpinski proved that there are infinitely many positive odd numbers $k$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is a composite number. Such numbers are called "Sierpinski numbers". In this study, by using…

We consider the integers having the property of reversing when multiplied by a specific integer k. First, we proved that k should be either 1, 4 or 9. Second, we classify these integers as (10, 1)- reverse multiples, (10, 4)- reverse…

A generalization of the well--known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$--Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,\ldots,0,1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…
