A sum-and-distance system is a collection of finite sets of integers such that the sums and differences formed by taking one element from each set generate a prescribed arithmetic progression. Such systems, with two component sets, arise…
We put forward a proof of Solomon's rule, in terms of matrices, for multiplication in the descent algebra of the symmetric group. Our proof exploits the graphs that we can obtain from all the subsets of the set of transpositions,…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $n\geq1$ and $p\geq0$ two integers. Let $h_{k,\ i}$ be an element of $R$ for all $k\in\mathbb Z$ and $i\in [n]$. For any $\alpha\in\mathbb Z^n$, we define \[ t_{\alpha}:=\det\begin{pmatrix} h_{\alpha_1+1,\…
Complex reasoning problems are most clearly and easily specified using logical rules, but require recursive rules with aggregation such as count and sum for practical applications. Unfortunately, the meaning of such rules has been a…
We propose a technique for calculating and understanding the eigenvalue distribution of sums of random matrices from the known distribution of the summands. The exact problem is formidably hard. One extreme approximation to the true density…
In this paper, we derive a formula for the sums of powers of the first $n$ positive integers, $S_k(n)$, that involves the hyperharmonic numbers and the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Then, using an explicit representation for the…
We prove a quantitative local limit theorem for the number of descents in a random permutation. Our proof uses a conditioning argument and is based on bounding the characteristic function $\phi(t)$ of the number of descents. We also…
We introduce a class of doubly indexed real Hermite polynomials and we deal with their related properties like the associated recurrence formulae, Runge's addition formula, generating function and Nielsen's identity.
In this paper we consider a fully third order nonlinear boundary value problem which is of great interest of many researchers. First we establish the existence, uniqueness of solution. Next, we propose simple iterative methods on both…
The representation of any integer as the sum of two cubes to a fixed modulus is always possible if and only if the modulus is not divisible by seven or nine. For a positive non-prime integer N there is given an inductive way to find its…
A superposition rule is a particular type of map that enables one to express the general solution of certain systems of first-order ordinary differential equations, the so-called Lie systems, out of generic families of particular solutions…
Let $p$ be a prime and let $x$ be a $p$-adic integer. We provide two supercongruences for truncated series of the form $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1} \frac{(x)_k}{(1)_k}\cdot \frac{1}{k}\sum_{1\le j_1\le\cdots\le j_r\le k}\frac{1}{j_1^{}\cdots…
We study a) the limit of the ratio of two consecutive terms in such a sequence and b) the limit of the ratio of two terms in which one has a lag equal to 2. In the general case limit a) does not exist but we have two limiting values…
In a multi-base representation of an integer (in contrast to, for example, the binary or decimal representation) the base (or radix) is replaced by products of powers of single bases. The resulting numeral system has desirable properties…
Recently, the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind were introduced. In this paper, we give some formulas for the degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind in the terms of the complete Bell polynomials with higher-order harmonic…
Dedekind sums have applications in quite a number of fields of mathematics. Therefore, their distribution has found considerable interest. This article gives a survey of several aspects of the distribution of these sums. In particular, it…
In this paper, we derive a new proof on some sharp double integral inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard type. Our approach is mainly based on well-known Taylor's theorem with the integral remainder.
We estimate the number of integer solutions to decomposable form inequalities (both asymptotic estimates and upper bounds are provided) when the degree of the form and the number of variables are relatively prime. These estimates display…
This paper deals with strong invariance principles (known also as strong approximation theorems) for sums of the form $\sum_{n=1}^{[Nt]}F\big(X(n),X(2n),...,X(kn), X(q_{k+1}(n)),X(q_{k+2}(n)),..., X(q_\ell(n))\big)$
Many theorems of mathematics have the form that for a certain problem, e.g. a differential equation or polynomial (in)equality, there exists a solution. The sequential version then states that for a sequence of problems, there is a sequence…
