Let $2< a<b$ be two relatively prime integers and $g=ab-a-b$. It is proved that there exists at least one prime $p\le g$ of the form $p=ax+by~(x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0})$, which confirms a 2020 conjecture of Ram\'{\i}rez Alfons\'{\i}n and…

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be distinct primes with $a<b$. Let $S(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. In a previous paper \cite{LeSt} it was shown that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of…

For any integer $r \geq 1$, the sequence of numbers $\{{c^{(r)}_{k}}\}_{k \geq 0} $ is defined implicitly by [\sum_k\binom{n}{k}^r\binom{n+k}{k}^r = \sum_k\binom{n}{k}\binom{n+k}{k}c^{(r)}_k,\quad n=0,1,2,...] Asmus Schmidt conjectured that…

It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

Let $k$ be a natural number and let $c=2.134693\ldots$ be the unique real solution of the equation $2c=2+\log (5c-1)$ in $[1,\infty)$. Then, when $s\ge ck+4$, we establish an asymptotic lower bound of the expected order of magnitude for the…

We investigate the average number of representations of a positive integer as the sum of $k + 1$ perfect $k$-th powers of primes. We extend recent results of Languasco and the last Author, which dealt with the case $k = 2$ [6] and $k = 3$…

We initiate the representation theory of restricted Lie superalgebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>2. A superalgebra generalization of the celebrated Kac-Weisfeiler Conjecture is formulated, which exhibits a…

Let K be a number field, let f(x) in K(x) be a rational function of degree d> 1, and let z in K be a wandering point such that f^n(z) is nonzero for all n > 0. We prove that if the abc-conjecture holds for K, then for all but finitely many…
