For half a century, authors have weakened the rule of necessitation in various more or less ad hoc ways in order to make inconsistent systems consistent. More recently, necessitation was weakened in a systematic way, not for the purpose of…
First, we present a new proof of Glaisher's formula dating from 1900 and concerning Wilson's theorem modulo p^2. Our proof uses p-adic numbers and Faulhaber's formula for the sums of powers (17th century), as well as more recent results on…
Scientific paper is devoted to establish connection of T-matrix - matrix of composite numbers 6h+1 v 6h-1 in special view - with Legendre's conjecture.
Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper, by using the properties of Legendre polynomials we prove some congruences for $\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}2}\binom{2k}k^2m^{-k}\mod {p^2}$. In particular, we confirm several conjectures of Z.W. Sun. We also…
Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. We generalize the results of E. de Shalit about supersingular $j$-invariants in characteristic $p$. We consider supersingular elliptic curves with a basis of $2$-torsion over $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$, or…
We introduce the Shifted Legendre Symbol Problem and some variants along with efficient quantum algorithms to solve them. The problems and their algorithms are different from previous work on quantum computation in that they do not appear…
We present a new method for producing series for $1/\pi$ and other constants using Legendre's relation, starting from a generation function that can be factorised into two elliptic $K$'s; this way we avoid much of modular theory or creative…
By introducing a class of meromorphic functions with certain ramification structures on $\Bbb{CP}^1$, a new method for the determination of the Legendre representation of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is introduced. These…
Consider the problem of multinomial estimation. You are given an alphabet of k distinct symbols and are told that the i-th symbol occurred exactly n_i times in the past. On the basis of this information alone, you must now estimate the…
We find that the solution of the polar angular differential equation can be written as the universal associated Legendre polynomials. Its generating function is applied to obtain an analytical result for a class of interesting integrals…
We use modular symmetric designs to study the existence of Hadamard matrices modulo certain primes. We solve the $7$-modular and $11$-modular versions of the Hadamard conjecture for all but a finite number of cases. In doing so, we state a…
In number theory, we know Legendre's formula $ v_p(n!) = \sum_{k \ge 1} \lfloor \frac{n}{p^k} \rfloor $, which calculates the $p$-adic valuation of the factorial, i.e. the exponent of the greatest power of a prime $p$ that divides $n!$.…
The purpose of the present article is to show how the modular method together with different techniques can be used to prove non-existence of primitive non-trivial solutions of the equation $x^2+dy^6=z^p$ for square-free values $1 \le d \le…
An extensive table of pairs of functions linked by the Legendre transformation is presented. Many special functions and formulas that are used in the sciences are included in the pairs. Formulations are provided for finding the Legendre…
A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of fractional part $\alpha p+\beta$ modulo 1, where $\alpha$ is irrational and $p$ runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes…
In this paper we mainly focus on some determinants with Legendre symbol entries. Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. We show that $(\frac{-S(d,p)}p)=1$ for any $d\in\mathbb Z$ with $(\frac dp)=1$, and…
For $f : \mathbb{N} \to \{0,\pm 1\}$ the $f$-signed partition numbers $\mathfrak{p}(n,f)$ are defined to be the weighted partition sums \[ \mathfrak{p}(n,f) = \sum_{\substack{x_{1}+\cdots+x_{k} = n \\ x_{1} \geq \cdots \geq x_{k} > 0 \\ k…
The purpose of this short note is to present a simplified proof of Serre's modularity conjecture using the strong modularity lifting results currently available. This second version includes extra details on definitions and proofs than the…
Legendre orthogonal moments have been widely used in the field of image analysis. Because their computation by a direct method is very time expensive, recent efforts have been devoted to the reduction of computational complexity.…
We continue to investigate binary sequence $(f_u)$ over $\{0,1\}$ defined by $(-1)^{f_u}=\left(\frac{(u^w-u^{wp})/p}{p}\right)$ for integers $u\ge 0$, where $\left(\frac{\cdot}{p}\right)$ is the Legendre symbol and we restrict…
