In this paper, by some arithmetic properties of the Pell sequence and some $p$-adic tools, we study certain cyclotomic matrices involving squares over finite fields. For example, let $1=s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_{(q-1)/2}$ be all the nonzero squares…

An important result of H. Weyl states that for every sequence $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers the sequence of fractional parts of $\left(a_{n} \alpha \right)_{n\geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for…

The classical Pell equation can be extended to the cubic case considering the elements of norm one in $Z[\sqrt[3]{r}]$, which satisfy $x^3 + r y^3 + r^2 z^3 - 3 r x y z = 1$. The solution of the cubic Pell equation is harder than the…

Given an increasing sequence of integers a(n), it is known (due to Weyl) that for almost all reals t, the fractional parts of the dilated sequence t*a(n) are uniformly distributed in the unit interval. Some effort has been made recently to…

A Cullen number is a number of the form $m2^m+1$, where $m$ is a positive integer. In 2004, Luca and St\u anic\u a proved, among other things, that the largest Fibonacci number in the Cullen sequence is $F_4=3$. Actually, they searched for…

We characterize interpolating sequences for pairs of reproducing kernels $(s, \ell)$, where $s$ is a complete Pick factor of $\ell.$ This answers a question of Aleman, Hartz, McCarthy and Richter.

For a polynomial P, we consider the sequence of iterated integrals of ln P(x). This sequence is expressed in terms of the zeros of P(x). In the special case of ln(1 + x^2), arithmetic properties of certain coefficients arising are…

Pell-Abel equation is a functional equation of the form P^{2}-DQ^{2} = 1, with a given polynomial D free of squares and unknown polynomials P and Q. We show that the space of Pell-Abel equations with the fixed degrees of D and of a…

In this paper, we consider the new family of recurrence sequences of $(q,k)$-generalized Fibonacci numbers. These sequences naturally extend the well-known sequences of $k$-generalized Fibonacci numbers and generalized $k$-order Pell…

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…

In this paper, we consider recurrence sequences $x_n=\xi_1 \alpha_1^n+\xi_2 \alpha_2^n$ ($n=0,1,\ldots$) with companion polynomial $P(X)$. For example, the sequence $x_n=\xi_1(4+\sqrt{2})^n+\xi_2(4-\sqrt{2})^n$ satisfies the recurrence…

A sequence of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_k)$ is called $\ell$-additive if $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_k=\ell a_1$ or $\ell a_k$. In this paper, we prove that for all $k\geq3$, if $n$ is sufficiently large, then every permutation of…

We show that only a rather small proportion of linear equations are solvable in elements of a fixed finitely generated subgroup of a multiplicative group of a number field. The argument is based on modular techniques combined with a…

For all positive even integers $n$, graphs of order $n$ with degree sequence \begin{equation*} S_{n}:1,2,\dots,n/2,n/2,n/2+1,n/2+2,\dots,n-1 \end{equation*} naturally arose in the study of a labeling problem in \cite{IMO}. This fact…

Finding polynomial solutions to Pell's equation is of interest as such solutions sometimes allow the fundamental units to be determined in an infinite class of real quadratic fields. In this paper, for each triple of positive integers…

Many new solitary wave solutions of the recently studied Lienard equation are obtained by mapping it to the field equation of the $\phi^6-$field theory. Further, it is shown that the exact solutions of the Lienard equation are also the…

Generalised Fermat equation (GFE) is the equation of the form $ax^p+by^q=cz^r$, where $a,b,c,p,q,r$ are positive integers. If $1/p+1/q+1/r<1$, GFE is known to have at most finitely many primitive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$. A large body of…

We show that for a Salem number $\beta$ of degree $d$, there exists a positive constant $c(d)$ that $\beta^m$ is a Parry number for integers $m$ of natural density $\ge c(d)$. Further, we show $c(6)>1/2$ and discuss a relation to the…

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of at most four distinct $m$-gonal numbers (allowing a fixed number of repeats of each polygonal number occurring in the sum). We show that the number of such representations…

In 1949 Wall showed that $x = 0.d_1d_2d_3 \dots$ is normal if and only if $(0.d_nd_{n+1}d_{n+2} \dots)_n$ is a uniformly distributed sequence. In this article, we consider sequences which are slight variants on this. In particular, we show…
