As inductive inference and machine learning methods in computer science see continued success, researchers are aiming to describe ever more complex probabilistic models and inference algorithms. It is natural to ask whether there is a…
A difference equation based method of determining two factors of a composite is presented. The feasibility of P-complexity is shown. Presentation of material is non-theoretical; intended to be accessible to a broader audience of non…
Based on the Goldbach conjecture and arithmetic fundamental theorem, the Goldbach conjecture was extended to more general situations, i.e., any positive integer can be written as summation of some specific prime numbers, which depends on…
By studying lattices of normal subgroups, especially those of the socle and radical, an expression is obtained for the minimal number of conjugacy classes required to generate a group. This number is shown to be captured by the character…
The likelihood function plays a pivotal role in statistical inference; it is adaptable to a wide range of models and the resultant estimators are known to have good properties. However, these results hinge on correct specification of the…

We give a proof of Fermat's little theorem which does not use nor arithmetic(Euclidean algorithm) neither algebra (group theory), but it rather employs the field of the formal power series Q((x)). The note is an example of a mathematical…
We investigate the integer solutions of Diophantine equations related to Lehmer's totient conjecture. We give an algorithm that computes all nontrivial spoof Lehmer factorizations with a fixed number of factors, and enumerate all nontrivial…
A very first step to develop non-commutative algebraic geometry is the arithmetic of polynomials in non-commuting variables over a commutative field, that is, the study of elements in free associative algebras. This investigation is…
The problem of simplicity of Fermat number-twins $f_{n}^{\pm}=2^{2^n}\pm3$ is studied. The question for what $n$ numbers $f_{n}^{\pm}$ are composite is investigated. The factor-identities for numbers of a kind $x^2 \pm k $ are found.
We give a recursive formula for the Moebius function of an interval $[\sigma,\pi]$ in the poset of permutations ordered by pattern containment in the case where $\pi$ is a decomposable permutation, that is, consists of two blocks where the…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce basic concepts that are fundamental in the examination of composite moduli, while avoiding the notoriously difficult problem of prime-factorization. We introduce a new class of numbers, called…
Let $c(x)$ be a monic integer polynomial with coefficients $0$ or $1$. Write $c(x) = a(x) b(x)$ where $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ are monic polynomials with non-negative real (not necessarily integer) coefficients. The unfair 0--1 polynomial…
In the context of the Frobenius coin problem, given two relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b$, the set of nonrepresentable numbers consists of positive integers that cannot be expressed as nonnegative integer combination of $a$ and…
In the first part we study nearly Frobenius algebras. The concept of nearly Frobenius algebras is a generalization of the concept of Frobenius algebras. Nearly Frobenius algebras do not have traces, nor they are self-dual. We prove that the…
For any pair of bounded observables $A$ and $B$ with pure point spectra, we construct an associated "joint observable" which gives rise to a notion of a joint (projective) measurement of $A$ and $B$, and which conforms to the intuition that…
We consider an equation of multiple variables in which a partial derivative does not vanish at a point. The implicit function theorem provides a local existence and uniqueness of the function for the equation. In this paper, we propose an…
