For every non-negative integer $a$ and positive integer $b$, the congruence speed of the tetration $^{b}a$ is the difference between the number of the rightmost digits of $^{b}a$ that are the same as those of $^{b+1}a$ and the number of the…
In the present paper we provide a formula that allows to compute the number of stable digits of any integer tetration base $a\in\mathbb{N}_0$. The number of stable digits, at the given height of the power tower, indicates how many of the…
We solve a few open problems related to a peculiar property of the integer tetration ${^{b}a}$, which is the constancy of its congruence speed for any sufficiently large $b=b(a)$. Assuming radix-$10$ (the well-known decimal numeral system),…
In this paper will be proved the existence of a formula to reduce a tetration of base $2^{k}$ and $5^{k}$ $\mod 10^{n}$. Indeed, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyper-exponent; In order to compute the last…
We show any power of five may be expressed arithmetically with the digits of its decimal representation. We also show powers of five (in decimal) contain any amount of zeros in a row.
Many generating series of combinatorially interesting numbers have the property that the sum of the terms of order $<p$ at some suitable point is congruent to a zero of a zeta-function modulo infinitely many primes $p$. Surprisingly, very…
Understanding the distribution of digits in the expansions of perfect powers in different bases is difficult. Rather than consider the asymptotic digit distributions, we consider the base-10 digits of a restricted sequence of powers of two.…
This paper investigates the behavior of the last digits of a tetration of generic base. In fact, last digits of a tetration are the same starting from a certain hyper-exponent and in order to compute them we reduce those expressions $\mod…
Let $a,k\in\mathbb{N}$. For the $k-1$-th iterate of the exponential function $x\mapsto a^x$, also known as tetration, we write \[ ^k a:=a^{a^{.^{.^{.^{a}}}}}. \] In this paper, we show how an efficient algorithm for tetration modulo natural…
We show the finiteness of perfect powers in orbits of polynomial dynamical systems over an algebraic number field. We also obtain similar results for perfect powers represented by ratios of consecutive elements in orbits. Assuming the…
The enumeration $d_k(n)$ of $k$-elongated plane partition diamonds has emerged as a generalization of the classical integer partition function $p(n)$. Congruences for $d_k(n)$ modulo certain powers of primes have been proven via elementary…
In this paper, we investigate the convergence exponent of Pierce expansion digit sequences. We explore some basic properties of the convergence exponent as a real-valued function defined on the closed unit interval, as well as those of the…
For any positive integer $k$, we show that infinitely often, perfect $k$-th powers appear inside very long gaps between consecutive prime numbers, that is, gaps of size $$ c_k \frac{\log p \log_2 p \log_4 p}{(\log_3 p)^2}, $$ where $p$ is…
Let $k\geq 2$ be a fixed natural number. We establish the existence of infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes $p_n$, $p_{n+1}$ satisfying $$ p_{n+1}-p_n\geq c\:\frac{\log p_n\: \log_2 p_n\: \log_4 p_n}{\log_3 p_n}\:,$$ with $c$ being a…
This work is devoted to proving that, given an integer $x \ge 2$, there are infinitely many perfect powers, coprime with $x$, having exactly $k \ge 3$ non-zero digits in their base $x$ representation, except for the case $x=2, k=4$, for…
On the twisted Fermat cubic, an elliptic divisibility sequence arises as the sequence of denominators of the multiples of a single rational point. It is shown that there are finitely many perfect powers in such a sequence whose first term…
For all positive powers of primes $p\geq 5$, we prove the existence of infinitely many linear congruences between the exponents of twisted Borcherds products arising from a suitable scalar-valued weight $1/2$ weakly holomorphic modular form…
Exploring further the connection between exponentiation on real closed fields and the existence of an integer part modelling strong fragments of arithmetic, we demonstrate that each model of true arithmetic is an integer part of an…
An effective radius of convergence is defined and computed for any truncated Taylor series. Applications to well known series are performed and is shown that a range of good coincidence for actual and approximative plot can always be found.…
It is well known since A. J. Kempner's work that the series of the reciprocals of the positive integers whose the decimal representation does not contain any digit 9, is convergent. This result was extended by F. Irwin and others to deal…
