We prove that for any nonnegative integers $n$ and $r$ the binomial sum $$ \sum_{k=-n}^n\binom{2n}{n-k}k^{2r} $$ is divisible by $2^{2n-\min\{\alpha(n),\alpha(r)\}}$, where $\alpha(n)$ denotes the number of 1's in the binary expansion of…

We propose a natural, bivariate, generalization of the nonsingular similarity relations considered by T. Fine. We also provide an enumeration formulae and a generating tree for those relations. The latter allow us to give a new bijection…

Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes generales circa series, quarum termini secundum sinus vel cosinus angulorum multiplorum progrediuntur" (1777). E655 in the Enestrom index. Euler looks at the binomial expansion $(1+x)^n$…

Besides various asymptotic results on the concept of sum-product bases in $\mathbb{N}_0$, we consider by probabilistic arguments the existence of thin sets $A,A'$ of integers such that $AA+A=\mathbb{N}_0$ and $A'A'+A'A'=\mathbb{N}_0$.

Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…

The complement $\overline{x}$ of a binary word $x$ is obtained by changing each $0$ in $x$ to $1$ and vice versa. We study infinite binary words $\bf w$ that avoid sufficiently large complementary factors; that is, if $x$ is a factor of…

We give a bracket polynomial expression for intermediate terms between discriminant and resultant for pair of binary forms. As an application of the bracket polynomial expression, we give an algebraic proof of the algebraic independence of…

The number of tuples with positive integers pairwise relatively prime to each other with product at most $n$ is considered. A generalization of $\mu^{2}$ where $\mu$ is the M\"{o}bius function is used to formulate this divisor sum and…

We prove that five ways to define entry A086377 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences do lead to the same integer sequence.

We use linear algebraic methods to obtain general results about linear operators on a space of polynomials that we apply to the operators associated with a polynomial sequence by the monomiality property. We show that all such operators are…

Sufficient conditions for existence of a faithful representation of a *-algebra in terms of its G\"obner basis is presented. Proposed construction of faithful representation is applicable to concrete examples: *-doubles, monomial…

Given a real number $0.a_1a_2 a_3\dots$ that is normal to base $b$, we examine increasing sequences $n_i$ so that the number $0.a_{n_1}a_{n_2}a_{n_3}\dots$ are normal to base $b$. Classically it is known that if the $n_i$ form an arithmetic…

We construct Baxter operators as generalized transfer matrices being traces of products of generic $R$ matrices. The latter are shown to factorize into simpler operators allowing for explicit expressions in terms of functions of a Weyl pair…

Modifying an idea of E. Brietzke we give simple proofs for the recurrence relations of some sequences of binomial sums which have previously been obtained by other more complicated methods.

We study arithmetical aspects of Ito-Sadahiro number systems with negative base. We show that the bases $-\beta<-1$, where $\beta$ is zero of $x^3-mx^2-mx-m,\ m\in\mathbb N,$ possess the so-called finiteness property. For the Tribonacci…

We consider the structure of algebra of operators, acting in $n-$fold tensor product space, which are partially transposed on the last term. Using purely algebraical methods we show that this algebra is semi-simple and then, considering its…

The comma sequence (1, 12, 35, 94, ...) is the lexicographically earliest sequence such that the difference of consecutive terms equals the concatenation of the digits on either side of the comma separating them. The behavior of a…

In this note we show that a special case of a recent result by Obus-Wewers (used as a black box) together with a deformation argument in characteristic $p$ leads to a proof of the Oort Conjecture in the general case. A boundedness result is…

We demonstrate that a modification of the classical index calculus algorithm can be used to factor integers. More generally, we reduce the factoring problem to finding an overdetermined system of multiplicative relations in any factor base…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be a palindrome in base $b$ (or $b$-adic palindrome) if the representation of $n = (a_k a_{k-1} \cdots a_0)_b$ in base $b$ with $a_k \neq 0$ has the symmetric property $a_{k-i} = a_i$ for every…
