We speculate on the distribution of primes in exponentially growing, linear recurrence sequences $(u_n)_{n\geq 0}$ in the integers. By tweaking a heuristic which is successfully used to predict the number of prime values of polynomials, we…
In this paper, we obtain a general expression for the entries of the rth power of a certain n-square complex anti-tridiagonal matrix where if n is odd, r is integer or if n is even, r is natural number. In addition, we get the complex…
Motivated by Elementary Problem B-1172 in the Fibonacci Quarterly (vol. 53, no. 3, pg. 273), formulas for the areas of triangles and other polygons having vertices with coordinates taken from various sequences of integers are obtained. The…
A number $s$ is the sum of the entries of the inverse of an $n \times n, (n \geq 3)$ upper triangular matrix with entries from the set $\{0, 1\}$ if and only if $s$ is an integer lying between $2-F_{n-1}$ and $2+F_{n-1}$, where $F_n$ is the…
The concept of a fully interlacing matrix of formal power series with real coefficients is introduced. This concept extends and strengthens that of an interlacing sequence of real-rooted polynomials with nonnegative coefficients, in the…
Two matrices are said non-overlapping if one of them can not be put on the other one in a way such that the corresponding entries coincide. We provide a set of non-overlapping binary matrices and a formula to enumerate it which involves the…
We give an explicit description of the coefficients of the formal power series (1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)(1-x^5)(1-x^8)(1-x^13)... In particular, we show that all the coefficients are equal to -1, 0 or 1.
In this paper, we first give new generalizations for third-order Horadam $\{H_{n}^{(3)}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ and generalized Tribonacci $\{h_{n}^{(3)}\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ sequences for classic Horadam and generalized Fibonacci numbers.…
The infinite upper triangular Pascal matrix is $T = [\binom{j}{i}]$ for $0\leq i,j$. It is easy to see that any leading principle square submatrix is triangular with determinant $1$, hence invertible. In this paper, we investigate the…
Let K be an arbitrary (commutative) field and L be an algebraic closure of it. Let V be a linear subspace of M_n(K), with n>2. We show that if every matrix of V has at most one eigenvalue in K, then dim V<=1+n(n-1)/2. If every matrix of V…
We consider the set of $n\times n$ matrices with rational entries having numerator and denominator of size at most $H$ and obtain upper and lower bounds on the number of such matrices of a given rank and then apply them to count such…
We derive some Fibonacci and Lucas identities which contain inverse binomial coefficients. Extension of the results to the general Horadam sequence is possible, in some cases.
The number of Monotone Triangles with bottom row k1 < k2 < ... < kn is given by a polynomial alpha(n; k1,...,kn) in n variables. The evaluation of this polynomial at weakly decreasing sequences k1 >= k2 >= ... >= kn turns out to be…
It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…
We consider two families of Pascal-like triangles that have all ones on the left side and ones separated by $m-1$ zeros on the right side. The $m=1$ cases are Pascal's triangle and the two families also coincide when $m=2$. Members of the…
The research aims to construct a new type of matrix called the Fibonacci-Hessenberg-Lorentz matrix by multiplying Fibonacci-Hessenberg matrices with Lorentz matrix multiplication. The study will start by examining the properties of…
Reciprocal matrices are tridiagonal matrices $(a_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n$ with constant main diagonal and such that $a_{i,i+1}a_{i+1,i}=1$ for $i=1,\ldots,n-1$. For these matrices, criteria are established under which their Kippenhahn curves…
The number of ways to tile an $n$-board (an $n\times1$ rectangular board) with $(\frac12,\frac12;1)$-, $(\frac12,\frac12;2)$-, and $(\frac12,\frac12;3)$-combs is $T_{n+2}^2$ where $T_n$ is the $n$th tribonacci number. A…
Given any two sequences of complex numbers, we establish simple relations between their binomial convolution and the binomial convolution of their individual binomial transforms. We employ these relations to derive new identities involving…
Riordan matrices are infinite lower triangular matrices determined by a pair of formal power series over the real or complex field. These matrices have been mainly studied as combinatorial objects with an emphasis placed on the algebraic or…
