We defined numbers of the form $p\cdot a^2$ as SP numbers (Square-Prime numbers) ($a\neq1$, $p$ prime) in the paper 'Distribution of Square-Prime numbers' (arXiv:2109.10238) along with proofs on their distribution. Some examples of SP…

Research on the distribution of prime numbers has revealed a dual character: deterministic in definition yet exhibiting statistical behavior reminiscent of random processes. In this paper we show that it is possible to use an image-focused…

We obtain new recurrence relations, an explicit formula, and convolution identities for higher order geometric polynomials. These relations generalize known results for geometric polynomials, and lead to congruences for higher order…

We construct a new infinite family of pairs of imaginary cyclic fields of degree $(p-1)/2$ explicitly with both class numbers divisible by a given prime number $p$. For the proof, we use the fundamental unit of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{p})$,…

We introduce a new class of pseudoprimes-so called "overpseudoprimes to base $b$", which is a subclass of strong pseudoprimes to base $b$. Denoting via $|b|_n$ the multiplicative order of $b$ modulo $n$, we show that a composite $n$ is…

Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, a class of three-weight…

Let $z\ne \pm1,w^2$ be a fixed integer, and let $f(t)\ne g(t)^2$ be a fixed polynomial over the integers. It is shown that the subset of primes $p\geq 2$ such that $z$ and $f(z)$ is a pair of simultaneous primitive roots modulo $p$ has…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…

Building on our recent derivation of the Ward-Schwinger-Dyson equations for the cubic interaction model, we present here the first steps of their resurgent analysis. In our derivation of the WSD equations, we made sure that they had the…

In a recent article, Donoso, Le, Moreira and Sun studied sets of recurrence for actions of the multiplicative semigroup $(\mathbb{N}, \times)$ and provided some sufficient conditions for sets of the form $S=\{(an+b)/(cn+d) \colon n \in…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{\cdot}{p}$ denotes the Legendre symbol modulo $p$. If $p$ is has the form $p= n^2+1$ then one easily verifies that $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{a}{p} = \genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{-a}{p}$ for all $a\in…

Restricted Whitney numbers of the first kind appear in the combinatorial recursion for the matroid Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. In the special case of braid matroids (the matroid associated to the partition lattice, the complete graph, the…

We propose a framework to study models of computation of indeterministic data, represented by abstract "distributions". In these distributions, probabilities are replaced by "amplitudes" drawn from a fixed semi-ring $S$, of which the…

We develop a recursive scheme, as well as polynomial forms (polynomials in $n$ of degree $m$), for the evaluation of Ledin and Brousseau's Fibonacci sums of the form $S(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mF_{k + r}$, $T(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mL_{k + r}$…

In this paper, for any odd prime $p$ and an integer $m\ge 3$, several classes of linear codes with $t$-weight $(t=3,5,7)$ are obtained based on some defining sets, and then their complete weight enumerators are determined explicitly by…

An improved Singleton-type upper bound is presented for the list decoding radius of linear codes, in terms of the code parameters [n,k,d] and the list size L. L-MDS codes are then defined as codes that attain this bound (under a slightly…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

In this paper, we study skew cyclic codes with arbitrary length over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_{p}+u\mathbb{F}_{p}$ where $p$ is an odd prime and $% u^{2}=0$. We characterize all skew cyclic codes of length $n$ as left $% R[x;\theta…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $F$ a field of characteristic $p$, and $G$ a cyclic group of order $q =p^a$ for some positive integer $a$. Under these circumstances every indecomposable $F G$-module is cyclic. For indecomposable $F G$-modules…

In this paper, we mainly prove the following conjectures of Z.-W. Sun \cite{S13}: Let $p>2$ be a prime. If $p=x^2+3y^2$ with $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $x\equiv1\pmod 3$, then $$x\equiv\frac14\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(3k+4)\frac{f_k}…
