We prove without appeal to the Axiom of Choice that for any sets A and B, if there is a one-to-one correspondence between 3 cross A and 3 cross B then there is a one-to-one correspondence between A and B. The first such proof, due to…

Recently, Naruse presented a beautiful cancellation-free hook-length formula for skew shapes. The formula involves a sum over objects called excited diagrams, and the term corresponding to each excited diagram has hook lengths in the…

The Gauss--Lucas and B\^{o}cher--Grace--Marden theorems are classical results in the geometry of polynomials. Proofs of the these results are available in the literature, but the approaches are seemingly different. In this work, we show…

In this study, we explore the properties of certain solutions of Hofstadter's famous $V$-recurrence, defined by the nested recurrence relation $V(n)=V(n-V(n-1))+V(n-V(n-4))$. First, we discover the nature behind a finite chaotic…

For earlier considered our sequence A166944 in [4] we prove three statements of its connection with twin primes. We also give a sufficient condition for the infinity of twin primes and pose several new conjectures; among them we propose a…

For a non-negative integer $m$, let $S(m)$ denote the sum given by $$S(m):=\sum_{n=0}^{m}\frac{(-1)^n(8n+1)}{n!^3}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)_n^3.$$ Using the powerful WZ-method, for a prime $p\equiv 3$ $($mod $4)$ and an odd integer $r>1$, we…

In this paper we firstly review how to \textit{explicitly} solve a system of $3$ \textit{first-order linear recursions }and outline the main properties of these solutions. Next, via a change of variables, we identify a class of systems of…

We introduce a recurrence which we term the multidimensional cube recurrence, generalizing the octahedron recurrence studied by Propp, Fomin and Zelevinsky, Speyer, and Fock and Goncharov and the three-dimensional cube recurrence studied by…

We characterize the integers n such that $x\mapsto x^3$ describes a bijection from the set $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ to itself and we determine the frequency of these integers. Precisely, denoting by $W$ the set of these integers, we prove…

The classical Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem dating back almost a hundred years states that any sequence of $(n-1)^2+1$ distinct real numbers contains a monotone subsequence of length $n$. This theorem has been generalised to higher dimensions…

The Fibonacci sequence $\mathbb{F}$ is the fixed point beginning with $a$ of morphism $\sigma(a,b)=(ab,a)$. Since $\mathbb{F}$ is uniformly recurrent, each factor $\omega$ appears infinite many times in the sequence which is arranged as…
