We consider the triples of integer numbers that are solutions of the equation $x^2+qy^2=z^2$, where $q$ is a fixed, square-free arbitrary positive integer. The set of equivalence classes of these triples forms an abelian group under the…

Two constructed prime number subsets (called prime brother & sisters and prime cousins) lead to a third one (called isolated primes) so that all three disjoint subsets together generate the prime number set. It should be suggested how the…

We generalize the geometric sequence $\{a^p, a^{p-1}b, a^{p-2}b^2,...,b^p\}$ to allow the $p$ copies of $a$ (resp. $b$) to all be different. We call the sequence $\{a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1b_2a_3\cdots a_p,\ldots,…

The n-th Delannoy number and the n-th Schr\"oder number given by $D_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{n+k}{k}$ and $S_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{n+k}{k}/(k+1)$ respectively arise naturally from enumerative combinatorics. Let p be an…

This paper aims to contribute to validate, for numerical semigroups of reasonably large genus, the so-called Conjecture of Wilf. There is no counter-example for the conjecture among the over 3*10^{10} numerical semigroups of genus up to 60,…

For any numerical semigroup $S$, there are infinitely many numerical symmetric semigroups $T$ such that $S=\frac{T}{2}$ is their half. We are studying the Betti numbers of the numerical semigroup ring $K[T]$ when $S$ is a 3-generated…

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the zero-divisors of semigroups with zero and semirings and in particular, to discuss eversible and reversible semigroups and semirings. We also introduce a new ring-like algebraic structure…

A series of associative algebras $A_n(V)$ for a vertex operator algebra $V$ over an arbitrary algebraically closed field and nonnegative integers $n$ are constructed such that there is a one to one correspondence between irreducible…

In this paper we investigate some new problems in additive combinatorics. Our problems mainly involve permutations (or circular permutations) $n$ distinct numbers (or elements of an additive abelian group) $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ with adjacent…

A finite transitive permutation group is elusive if it contains no derangements of prime order. These groups are closely related to a longstanding open problem in algebraic graph theory known as the Polycirculant Conjecture, which asserts…

We present an algorithm to explore various properties of the numerical semigroups with a given maximum primitive. In particular, we count the number of such numerical semigroups and verify that there is no counterexample to Wilf's…

A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…

This paper is concerned with integrals which integrands are the monomials of matrix elements of irreducible representations of classical groups. Based on analysis on Young tableaux, we discuss some related duality theorems and compute the…

In this work we present a new class of numerical semigroups called GSI-semigroups. We see the relations between them and others families of semigroups and we give explicitly their set of gaps. Moreover, an algorithm to obtain all the…

Let R be a two-dimensional regular local ring with maximal ideal \mathfrak m, and let \wp be a simple complete \mathfrak m-primary ideal which is residually rational. Let R_0:= R\subsetneqq ...\subsetneqq R_r be the quadratic sequence…

A linear group G on a finite vector space V, (that is, a subgroup of GL(V)) is called (1/2)-transitive if all the G-orbits on the set of nonzero vectors have the same size. We complete the classification of all the (1/2)-transitive linear…

Let (G, *) be a semigroup, D subset of G, and n >= 2 be an integer. We say that (D, *) is an n-closed subset of G if a_1* ... *a_n in D for every a_1, ..., a_n in D. Hence every closed set is a 2-closed set. The concept of n-closed sets…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We say that a positive integer $n$ is a Sylow $p$-number if there exists a finite group having exactly $n$ Sylow $p$-subgroups. When $p=2$, every odd integer is a Sylow $2$-number. In contrast, when $p$ is odd,…

We present a new algorithm to explore or count the numerical semigroups of a given genus which uses the unleaved version of the tree of numerical semigroups. In the unleaved tree there are no leaves rather than the ones at depth equal to…

For certain negative rational numbers k0, called singular values, and associated with the symmetric group S_N on N objects, there exist homogeneous polynomials annihilated by each Dunkl operator when the parameter k = k0. It was shown by de…
