A surface that is the pointwise sum of circles in Euclidean space is either coplanar or contains no more than 2 circles through a general point. A surface that is the pointwise product of circles in the unit-quaternions contains either 2,…
We examine Euclid's lemma that if $p$ is a prime number such that $p | ab$, then $p$ divides at least one of $a$ or $b$. Specifically, we consider the common misapplication of this lemma to numbers that are not prime, as is often made by…
We introduce a notion of a group-partition for a finite Abelian group, which is a generalized notion of the standard partition. To obtain asymptoticdistributions of group-partition, we study the Dirichlet series for group-partitions by…
We define a simplicial differential calculus by generalizing divided differences from the case of curves to the case of general maps, defined on general topological vector spaces, or even on modules over a topological ring K. This calculus…
Let $\cal R$ be either the Grothendieck semiring (semiring with multiplication) of complex algebraic varieties, or the Grothendieck ring of these varieties, or the Grothendieck ring localized by the class of the complex affine line. We…
We consider primitive divisors of terms of integer sequences defined by quadratic polynomials. Apart from some small counterexamples, when a term has a primitive divisor, that primitive divisor is unique. It seems likely that the number of…
We offer new Tauberian theorems for a generalized partition function as our main result. Our analysis provides insight into asymptotic behavior of power series with arithmetic functions as coefficients.
Elementary proofs of unique factorization in rings of arithmetic functions using a simple variant of Euclid's proof for the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
In this article, we define functions analogous to Ramanujan's function $f(n)$ defined in his famous paper "Modular equations and approximations to $\pi$". We then use these new functions to study Ramanujan's series for $1/\pi$ associated…
We obtain a criterion for an analytic subset of a Euclidean space to contain points of differentiability of a typical Lipschitz function, namely, that it cannot be covered by countably many sets, each of which is closed and purely…
In this paper, we consider the problem of computing the algebraic parametric equation of the Euclidean 1-center function in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \geq 2$, for a system of $n$ static points and $m$ mobile points having motion defined by…
We use the classical umbral calculus to describe Riordan arrays. Here, a Riordan array is generated by a pair of umbrae, and this provides efficient proofs of several basic results of the theory such as the multiplication rule, the…
A doubly infinite set of series expansion for $1/\pi$ are reported. They follow trivially from a formal expansion for the quotient of the values taken by the gamma function for two (complex) arguments differing by an integer plus one half,…
We apply a symbolic approach of the general quadratic decomposition of polynomial sequences - presented in a previous article referenced herein - to polynomial sequences fulfilling specific orthogonal conditions towards two given…
Various versions of the classical definitions of (one- and twosided) almost periodicity for functions on groups with values in a uniform space are formulated and their equivalence is shown.
We consider the variance of sums of arithmetic functions over random short intervals in the function field setting. Based on the analogy between factorizations of random elements of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ into primes and the factorizations of…
We develop new aspects of the the of numerosity theory; more exactly, we emphasize its relation with the ordinal numbers, cardinal numbers, hyperreal numbers and surreal numbers. In particular, we combine the notion of numerosity with the…
We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…
D. Hensley showed in 1994 that the number of steps taken by the Euclidean algorithm to find the greatest common divisor of two natural numbers less than or equal to n follows a normal distribution in the limit as n tends to infinity. V.…
This paper proposes specular differentiation in one-dimensional Euclidean space and provides its fundamental analysis, including a quasi-Fermat theorem and a quasi-Mean Value Theorem. As an application, this paper develops several numerical…
