While the prime numbers have been subject to mathematical inquiry since the ancient Greeks, the accumulated effort of understanding these numbers has - as Marcus du Sautoy recently phrased it - 'not revealed the origins of what makes the…
From varying Egyptian fraction equations we obtain generalizations of primary pseudoperfect numbers and Giuga numbers which we call prime power psuedoperfect numbers and prime power Giuga numbers respectively. We show that a sequence of…
In this paper we present four necessary and sufficient conditions for a natural number to be prime.
In this work we look at the original fractional calculus of variations problem in a somewhat different way. As a simple consequence, we show that a fractional generalization of a classical problem has a solution without any restrictions on…
The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…
Let $a,b\in \mathbb{N}$ be fixed and coprime such that $a>b$, and let $N$ be any number of the form $a^n\pm b^n$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We will generalize a result of Bostan, Gaudry and Schost and prove that we may compute the prime…
A simple mathematical extension of quantum theory is presented. As well as opening the possibility of alternative methods of calculation, the additional formalism implies a new physical interpretation of the standard theory by providing a…
We propose a new approach at Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT) solution: for each FLT equation we associate a polynomial of the same degree. The study of the roots of the polynomial allows us to investigate the FLT validity. This technique,…
The purpose of this paper is to give an easy to understand with step-by-step explanation to allow interested people to fully appreciate the power of natural deduction for first-order logic. Natural deduction as a proof system can be used to…
We apply general difference calculus in order to obtain solutions to the functional equations of the second order. We show that factorization method can be successfully applied to the functional case. This method is equivariant under the…
We prove the theorems which are equivalent to the Roland's results such that a new form of them allows to consider some generalizations. In particular, we give generators of primes more than a fixed prime.
We investigate bicomplex analogues of fundamental notions from classical algebraic number theory. In particular, we show that the primitive element theorem admits a natural generalization to bicomplex extensions, giving rise to two distinct…

A general theorem on factorization of matrices with polynomial entries is proven and it is used to reduce polynomial Darboux matrices to linear ones. Some new examples of linear Darboux matrices are discussed.
We introduce a new approach to an enumerative problem closely linked with the geometry of branched coverings; that is, we study the number of ways a permutation can be decomposed into a product of a given number of 2-cycles, 3-cycles, etc.…
The Fermat numbers have many notable properties, including order universality, coprimality, and definition by a recurrence relation. We use arbitrary elliptic curves and rational points of infinite order to generate sequences that are…
Testing hypotheses is an issue of primary importance in the scientific research, as well as in many other human activities. Much clarification about it can be achieved if the process of learning from data is framed in a stochastic model of…
Let $m_t(\alpha)$ denote the $t$-metric Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. Recent work of the first author established that the infimum in $m_t(\alpha)$ is attained by a single point $\bar\alpha = (\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_N)\in…

Factorization models express a statistical object of interest in terms of a collection of simpler objects. For example, a matrix or tensor can be expressed as a sum of rank-one components. However, in practice, it can be challenging to…
