A Latin square of order $n$ is an $n \times n$ matrix of $n$ symbols, such that each symbol occurs exactly once in each row and column. For an odd prime power $q$ let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. A quadratic Latin…
Most of theoretical physics is based on the mathematics of functions of a real or a complex variable; yet we frequently are drawn to try extending our reach to include quaternions. The non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses…
Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…
The object of this paper is to generalize a theorem on the binomial coefficient [4] to the case in an arithmetic progression. We will also give a slightly stronger result than Langevin's [2].
Suppose $k$ is a positive integer. In this work, we establish formulas for for the number of representations of integers by the quadratic forms $$ x_{1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{k}^{2}+l\left(x_{k+1}^{2}+\cdots+x_{2k}^{2}\right) $$ for $l\in\{2,4\}$.
Write A<=B if there is an injection from A to B, and A==B if there is a bijection. We give a simple proof that for finite n, nA<=nB implies A<=B. From the Cantor-Bernstein theorem it then follows that nA==nB implies A==B. These results have…
If $R=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I$ is a graded artinian algebra, then the length of $k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I^s$ becomes a polynomial in $s$ of degree $n$ for large $s$. If we write this polynomial as $\sum_{i=0}^n(-1)^ie_i{s+n-i-1\choose n-i}$, then…
A higher order difference equation may be generally defined in an arbitrary nonempty set S as: \[ f_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k})=g_{n}(x_{n},x_{n-1},...,x_{n-k}) \] where $f_{n},g_{n} :S^{k+1}\rightarrow S$ are given functions for…
One may consider the generalization of Jacobi polynomials and the Jacobi function of the second kind to a general function where the index is allowed to be a complex number instead of a non-negative integer. These functions are referred to…
We propose quantum algorithms, purely quantum in nature, for calculating the determinant and inverse of an $(N-1)\times (N-1)$ matrix (depth is $O(N^2\log N)$) which is a simple modification of the algorithm for calculating the determinant…
Consider the average of the first n k-th powers. We pose and answer the following natural question: For which values of n and k is this average an integer? If k is odd the answer is easy; it is an integer as long as n is incongruent to 2…
All SL($n$) contravariant vector valuations on polytopes in $\mathbb R^n$ are completely classified without any additional assumptions. The facet vector is defined. It turns out to be the unique such valuation for $n\geq3$. In dimension…
Orthogonality of the Jacobi and of Laguerre polynomials, P_n^(a,b) and L_n^(a), is established for a,b complex (a,b not negative integers and a+b different from -2,-3,...) using the Hadamard finite part of the integral which gives their…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
We obtain new regularity conditions for problems of calculus of variations with higher-order derivatives. As a corollary, we get non-occurrence of the Lavrentiev phenomenon. Our main regularity result asserts that autonomous integral…
A Cartan Calculus of Lie derivatives, differential forms, and inner derivations, based on an undeformed Cartan identity, is constructed. We attempt a classification of various types of quantum Lie algebras and present a fairly general…
The notion of different kind of algebraic Casorati curvatures are introduced. Some results expressing basic Casorati inequalities for algebraic Casorati curvatures are presented. Equality cases are also discussed. As a simple application,…
In this paper, we consider an extension of Jacobi's symbol, the so called rational $2^k$-th power residue symbol. In Section 3, we prove a novel generalization of Zolotarev's lemma. In Sections 4, 5 and 6, we show that several hard…
We investigate the differential equation for the Jacobi-type polynomials which are orthogonal on the interval $[-1,1]$ with respect to the classical Jacobi measure and an additional point mass at one endpoint. This scale of higher-order…
In this paper, we derive the quadratic formula as a consequence of constructively proving the existence of standard and factored forms for general form real quadratic functions. Emphasis is put on connections to graphing of corresponding…
