The modular decomposition is a technique that applies but is not restricted to graphs. The notion of module naturally appears in the proofs of many graph theoretical theorems. Computing the modular decomposition tree is an important…
The Erdos-Straus conjecture (ESC) concerns the representation of the fraction 4/P, where P is a prime number, as a sum of three positive unit fractions. The focus here is on the case when P is congruent to 1 modulo 4. Two constructive…
In this paper we use the framework of automatic sequences to study combinatorial sequences modulo prime powers. Given a sequence whose generating function is the diagonal of a rational power series, we provide a method, based on work of…
We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.
System I is a simply-typed lambda calculus with pairs, extended with an equational theory obtained from considering the type isomorphisms as equalities. In this work we propose an extension of System I to polymorphic types, adding the…
We introduce a new method with spectral accuracy to solve linear non-autonomous ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of the kind $ \frac{d}{dt}\tilde{u}(t) = \tilde{f}(t) \tilde{u}(t)$, $\tilde{u}(-1)=1$, with $\tilde{f}(t)$ an analytic…

We establish a recursive relation for the bipartition number $p_2(n)$ which might be regarded as an analogue of Euler's recursive relation for the partition number $p(n)$. Two proofs of the main result are proved in this article. The first…
We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. Garc\'ia-Lucas, \'A. del R\'io, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular…
Let $p>3$ be a prime and $(\frac{.}{p})$ be the Legendre symbol. For any integer $d$ with $p\nmid d$ and any positive integer $m$, Sun introduced the determinants…
For a prime $p$ and a positive integer $s$ consider a homogeneous linear system over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ (the ring of integers modulo $p^s$) described by an $n \times m$-matrix. The possible number of solutions to such a system is…
The aim of this paper is to study existence results for a singular problem involving the $p$-biharmonic operator and the Hardy potential. More precisely, by combining monotonicity arguments with the variational method, the existence of…
The understanding of probability can be difficult for a few young scientists. Consequently, this new mathematical symbol, related to binomial coefficients and simplicial polytopic numbers, could be helpful to science education. Moreover,…
It is the aim of this work to identify and illustrate the potential and weaknesses of the computer algebra system Maple in the area of the Calculus of Variations: a classical area of mathematics that studies the methods for finding maximum…
In this paper, we investigate solutions to the Diophantine equation $ A a^p + B b^p = C c^3 $ over number fields using the modular method. Assuming certain standard modularity conjectures, we first establish an asymptotic result for general…
We study H\"older continuity for solutions of the $p$-Laplace equation. This is established through a method involving an ordinary differential inequality, in contrast to the classical proof of the De Giorgi-Nash-Moser Theorem which uses…

We demonstrate, using the symbolic method together with p-adic and resultant methods,the existence of systems with exactly one or two generalized symmetries. Since the existence of one or two symmetries is often taken as a sure sign (or as…
Proposed in 1937, the Collatz conjecture has remained in the spotlight for mathematicians and computer scientists alike due to its simple proposal, yet intractable proof. In this paper, we propose several novel theorems, corollaries, and…
