We prove that if $k$ is a positive integer then for every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of cardinality $q\neq 2$ and for every positive integer $n$ such that $q^n>(k-1)^4$, every $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ can be expressed as a sum of…

It is known that every matrix of order n over the maximal order in an algebraic number eld is a sum of k-th powers in various cases if a discriminant condition is satis ed. It has been proved by Wadikar and Katre that for every matrix of…

In this paper, we shall be considering the Waring's problem for matrices. One version of the problem involves writing an $n \times n$ matrix over a commutative ring $R$ with unity as a sum of $k$-th powers of matrices over $R.$ This study…

On the Waring's problems for matrices over a commutative ring, there are some trace conditions provided for matrices eligibly expressed as a sum of $k$-th powers with $k=2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ in several literatures. In this paper, we provide the…

We prove that for all integers $k \geq 1$, $q\ge (k-1)^4+ 6k$, and $m \geq 1$, every matrix in $ M_m(\mathbb F_q)$ is a sum of two kth powers: $M_m(\mathbb F_q)=\{A^k+B^k|A,B\in M_m(\mathbb F_q)\}$. We further generalize and refine this…

The Matrix Waring problem is if we can write every matrix as a sum of $k$-th powers. Here, we look at the same problem for triangular matrix algebra $T_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ consisting of upper triangular matrices over a finite field. We prove…

We prove that for all integers $k \geq 1$, there exists a constant $C_k$ depending only on $k$, such that for all $q > C_k$, and for $n = 1, 2$ every matrix in $M_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is a sum of two $k$th powers and for all $n \geq 3$ every…

We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq…

Let $\mathcal{Q}$ be a quaternion division algebra over a field, and $n \geq 2$ be an integer. In a recent article, de La Cruz et al have proved that every $n$-by-$n$ matrix with entries in $\mathcal{Q}$ and pure quaternionic trace is the…

We study a variant of Waring's problem for $\mathbb{Z}_n$, the ring of integers modulo $n$: For a fixed integer $k \geq 2$, what is the minimum number $m$ of $k$th powers necessary such that $x \equiv x_1^k + \dots + x_m^k \pmod{n}$ has a…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper we develop methods to represent arbitrary elements of $F[t]$ as sums of perfect $k$-th powers for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ relatively prime to $p$. Using these…

We show that the Waring's number over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, denoted $g(k,q)$, when exists, coincides with the diameter of the generalized Paley graph $\Gamma(k,q)=Cay(\mathbb{F}_{q},R_k)$ with $R_k=\{x^k : x\in \mathbb{F}_q^*\}$.…

In this paper we compute the sum of the $k$-th powers over any finite commutative unital rings, thus generalizing known results for finite fields, the rings of integers modulo $n$ or the ring of Gaussian integers modulo $n$. As an…

We investigate the existence of representations of every large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as certain diagonal forms. In particular, we consider a family of diagonal forms and discuss the problem of…

A natural number is a binary $k$'th power if its binary representation consists of $k$ consecutive identical blocks. We prove an analogue of Waring's theorem for sums of binary $k$'th powers. More precisely, we show that for each integer $k…

The Waring function $g(k,q)$ measures the difficulty of Waring's problem for $k$th powers in the field of $q$ elements. Its calculation seems to be difficult, and many partial results have been published, notably upper bounds for certain…
