In this paper, we prove that if $f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\choose k}a_kx^k$ is a polynomial with real zeros only, then the sequence $\{a_k\}_{k=0}^n$ satisfies the following inequalities $a_{k+1}^2(1-\sqrt{1-c_k})^2/a_k^2…
Let $k\geq2$ be an integer. The aim of this paper is to investigate the distribution of $k$-full integers between three successive $k$-th powers. More precisely, for any integers $\ell,m\ge0$, we establish the explicit asymptotic density…
If $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ and $n$ are positive integers such that $n = a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_k$, then the sum $a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_k$ is said to be a \emph{partition of $n$} of \emph{length $k$}, and $a_1, a_2, ..., a_k$ are said to be the…
For a fixed odd prime q we investigate the first and second order terms of the asymptotic series expansion for the number of n\le x such that q does not divide phi(n). Part of the analysis involves a careful study of the Euler-Kronecker…
We demonstrate how to extend formulae for the Lerch transcendent function, $\Phi(e^z,k,b)$, and the polylogarithm, $\mathrm{Li}_{k}(e^{z})$, that only hold at the positive integers to the right half of the complex $k$-plane, that is,…
Erd\"{o}s and Niven proved in 1946 that for any positive integers $m$ and $d$, there are at most finitely many integers $n$ for which at least one of the elementary symmetric functions of $1/m, 1/(m+d), ..., 1/(m+(n-1)d)$ are integers.…
We look at the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of the $q$-binomial coefficients (or Gaussian polynomials) $\binom{a+k}{k}_q$, when $k$ is fixed. We give a number of results in this direction, some of which involve Eulerian…
Let \tau(.) be the Ramanujan \tau-function, and let k be a positive integer such that \tau(n) is not 0 for n=1,...,[k/2]. (This is known to be true for k < 10^{23}, and, conjecturally, for all k.) Further, let s be a permutation of the set…
Let $\mathcal{F}_n$ be the set of unitary polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ that have their roots in $\mathbb{Z}^*$. We note $$ Q(x) := x^n+a_{1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_{n}. $$ We show that any two fixed consecutive coefficients $(a_{j},a_{j+1})$ ($j…
Recently Raayoni et al. announced various conjectures on continued fractions of fundamental constants automatically generated with machine learning techniques. In this paper we prove some of their stated conjectures for Euler number $e$ and…
Euler gives a continued fraction representation of (1+x)^n involving 1,3,5,7,... and n^2-1,n^2-4,n^3-9,... and squares of z, for x=2y and y=z/(1-z). He evaluates this continued fraction at z=t sqrt(-1), for ``vanishing'' n, and for infinite…
Let $ a_1(x)p_1(x)^n + \cdots + a_k(x)p_k(x)^n $ as well as $ b_1(x)q_1(x)^m + \cdots + b_l(x) q_l(x)^m $ be two polynomial power sums where the complex polynomials $ p_i(x) $ and $ q_j(x) $ are all non-constant. Then in the present paper…
We consider functions of the type $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ from a family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk. Let $F$ be the inverse function of $f$, given by $F(z)=w+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nw^n$ defined on some…
Let $f_{s,k}(n)$ be the maximum possible number of $s$-term arithmetic progressions in a sequence $a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_n$ of $n$ integers which contains no $k$-term arithmetic progression. For all integers $k > s \geq 3$, we prove that…
We prove that for all constants $a\in\N$, $b\in\Z$, $c,d\in\R$, $c\neq 0$, the fractions $\phi(an+b)/(cn+d)$ lie dense in the interval $]0,D]$ (respectively $[D,0[$ if $c<0$), where $D=a\phi(\gcd(a,b))/(c\gcd(a,b))$. This interval is the…
Let $\{f_n\}$ be the Fibonacci sequence. For any positive integer $n$, let $r(n)$ be the number of solutions of $n=p+f_{k_1^{2}} +f_{k_{2}^{2}}$, where $p$ is a prime and $k_1, k_2$ are nonnegative integers with $k_1\le k_2$. In this paper,…
We prove general equidistribution statements (both conditional and unconditional) relating to the Fourier coefficients of arithmetically normalized holomorphic Hecke cusp forms $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ without complex multiplication, of equal…
Some subadditivity results involving symmetric (unitarily invariant) norms are obtained. For instance, if $g(t)=\sum_{k=0}^m a_kt^k$ is a polynomial of degree $m$ with non-negative coefficients, then, for all positive operators $A,\,B$ and…
For any $k\geq 1$, this paper studies the number of polynomials having $k$ irreducible factors (counted with or without multiplicities) in $\mathbf{F}_q[t]$ among different arithmetic progressions. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the…
For fixed positive integers $n$, we study the solution of the equation $n = k + p_k$, where $p_k$ denotes the $k$th prime number, by means of the iterative method \[ k_{j+1} = \pi(n-k_j), \qquad k_0 = \pi(n), \] which converges to the…
