We construct a countable family of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithms, built out of five specific multidimensional continued fractions, and find a wide class of cubic irrational real numbers a so that either (a, a^2) or (a,…
We study the properties of the odd Catalan numbers, C_n, modulo 2^k for k >= 2. We show that there exist only k - 1 different congruences of the odd Catalan numbers modulo 2^k. Moreover, these congruences can be obtained by C_{2^m - 1} (mod…
We present several second-order linear differential equations that are associated to a particular Riccati equation with only one constant parameter in its coefficients through the technique of supersymmetric factorizations and through a…
The closed form for the hyper-Catalan number C[m2,m3,m4,...], which counts the number of subdivisions of a roofed polygon into m2 triangles, m3 quadrilaterals, m4 pentagons, etc., has been known since 1940. In 2025, Wildberger and Rubine…
In this paper we present some results related to the problem of finding periodic representations for algebraic numbers. In particular, we analyze the problem for cubic irrationalities. We show an interesting relationship between the…
Geometric representations provide a principled framework for structuring the description of latent constructs and clarifying sources of uncertainty in their dimensional characterisation. We introduce a novel geometric representation of…
The dimensions of sets of matrices of various types, with specified eigenvalue multiplicities, are determined. The dimensions of the sets of matrices with given Jordan form and with given singular value multiplicities are also found. Each…
The object of this paper is to give a systematic treatment of excedance-type polynomials. We first give a sufficient condition for a sequence of polynomials to have alternatingly increasing property, and then we present a systematic study…
We study the quantization of geometry in the presence of a cosmological constant, using a discretiza- tion with constant-curvature simplices. Phase space turns out to be compact and the Hilbert space finite dimensional for each link. Not…

We find a new approach to computing the remainder of a polynomial modulo $x^n-1$; such a computation is called modular enumeration. Given a polynomial with coefficients from a commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra, our first main result…
Meson decays are considered within the constituent quark model, making use of the dispersion formulation of the model: Starting with spacelike momentum transfers $q$, meson transition form factors are expressed as relativistic invariant…
We define q-Catalan bases which are a generalization of the q-polynomials z^n(z,q)_n. The determination of their dual bases involves some q-power series termed dual coefficients. We show how these dual coefficients occur in the solution of…
We show that two nonets and a glueball provide a consistent description of data on scalar mesons below 1.7 GeV. Above 1 GeV the states form a conventional (q bar q) nonet mixed with the glueball of lattice QCD. Below 1 GeV the states also…

The Macdonald polynomials can be obtained by acting on the constant 1 with creation operators. Three different expressions for these operators are derived, one from the other, in a rather succint way. When the last of these expressions is…
