In this paper, we develop an explicit method to express finite algebraic numbers (in particular, certain idempotents among them) in terms of linear recurrent sequences, and give applications to the characterization of the splitting primes…
Fix an elliptic curve E over Q. An extremal prime for E is a prime p of good reduction such that the number of rational points on E modulo p is maximal or minimal in relation to the Hasse bound. Assuming that all the symmetric power…
We study a semilinear elliptic equation with a pure power nonlinearity with exponent $p>1$, and provide sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions. These conditions involve expected exit times from the domain, $D$, where…
It is well-known that for any non-constant polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients the sequence $(P(n))_{ n\in \mathbb N}$ has the property that there are infinitely many prime numbers dividing at least one term of this sequence.…
Motivated by recent interests in predictive inference under distribution shift, we study the problem of approximating finite weighted exchangeable sequences by a mixture of finite sequences with independent terms. Various bounds are derived…
A full multigrid finite element method is proposed for semilinear elliptic equations. The main idea is to transform the solution of the semilinear problem into a series of solutions of the corresponding linear boundary value problems on the…
Let $p$ be a prime number and let $k$ be a number field. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $k$. We prove that if $p$ is odd, then the local-global divisibility by any power of $p$ holds for the torsion points of $E$. We also show…
We identify pairs of positive integers $(t, d)$ with the property that the integer sequence with general term $\lfloor{n^t/d\rfloor}$ contains at most finitely many primes.
Simple divisibility rules are given for the 1st 1000 prime numbers.

Some of the subtleties of the integrability of the elliptic quantum billiard are discussed. A well known classical constant of the motion has in the quantum case an ill-defined commutator with the Hamiltonian. It is shown how this problem…
Define the sequence $\{b_n\}$ by $b_0=1,b_1=1, b_2=2,b_3=1$, and $$b_n=\begin{cases} \frac{b_{n-1}b_{n-3}-b_{n-2}^2}{b_{n-4}}&\textrm{if}~ n\not\equiv 0\pmod 3, \frac{b_{n-1}b_{n-3}-3b_{n-2}^2}{b_{n-4}}&\textrm{if}~ n\equiv 0\pmod 3. We…
A linear recurrence sequence in a cyclotomic field produces a sequence of the generating fields of each term. We show that the later sequence is periodic after removing the first finite terms, and give a bound of its period. This can be…
We continue a very fruitful line of inquiry into the multiplicative ideal theory of an arbitrary Leavitt path algebra L. Specifically, we show that factorizations of an ideal in L into irredundant products or intersections of finitely many…
In this article, we study the higher-power moments of restricted divisor functions. In order to establish our main results, we prove a more general result pertaining to the distribution of solutions to certain multiplicative Diophantine…
We show that many existing divisibility sequences can be seen as sequences of determinants of matrix divisibility sequences, which arise naturally as Jacobian matrices associated to groups of maps on affine spaces.
We determine the minimum possible column multiplicity of even, doubly-, and triply-even codes given their length. This refines a classification result for the possible lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also give a few…
