In a delightful article, Richard Stanley derived, algebraically, the surprisingly simple formula, 3 times 7 to the power n-1, for the sum of the cubes of the n-th row of Stern's diatomic array. In this note, we find an elegant bijective…
In this paper, we explore two conjectures about Rademacher sequences. Let $(\epsilon_i)$ be a Rademacher sequence, i.e., a sequence of independent $\{-1,1\}$-valued symmetric random variables. Set $S_n=a_1\epsilon_1+\cdots+a_n\epsilon_n$…
The ternary Goldbach conjecture, or three-primes problem, asserts that every odd integer $n$ greater than $5$ is the sum of three primes. The present paper proves this conjecture. Both the ternary Goldbach conjecture and the binary, or…
We prove a number of conjectures [arXiv:2005.04066] recently stated by P. Barry, related to the paperfolding sequence and the Rueppel sequence.
We give a new semi-combinatorial proof for the equality of the number of ballot permutations of length $n$ and the number of odd order permutations of length $n$, which is due to Bernardi, Duplantier and Nadeau. Spiro conjectures that the…
Collatz Conjecture sequences increase and decrease in seemingly random fashion. By identifying and analyzing the forms of numbers, we discover that Collatz sequences are governed by very specific, well-defined rules, which we call cascades.
The classical Stern sequence of positive integers was extended to a polynomial sequence $S_n(\lambda)$ by Klav\v{z}ar et. al. by defining $S_0(\lambda) = 0$, $S_1(\lambda) = 1$, and $$S_{2n}(\lambda) = \lambda S_n(\lambda),\quad…
In this paper we prove the validity of a formula for computing the Alexander invariant which was originally conjectured by Bar-Natan and Dancso in [BND].
We determine the average number of distinct subsequences in a random binary string, and derive an estimate for the average number of distinct subsequences of a particular length.
In this paper, we obtained an equivalent proposition of Brennan`s conjecture. And given two lower bound estimation of the conjecture one of them connected with Schwarzian derivative. The present study also verified the correctness of the…
We formulate and discuss a conjecture which would extend a classical inequality of Bernstein.
We prove several Stern's type congruences for generalized bernoulli numbers.
The multiple zeta values (MZV) are a set of real numbers with a beautiful structure as an algebra over the rational numbers. They are related to maybe the most important conjecture on mathematics today, the Riemann hypothesis. In this paper…
We give a bound for the Betti numbers of the Stanley-Reisner ring of a stellar subdivision of a Gorenstein* simplicial complex by applying unprojection theory. From this we derive a bound for the Betti numbers of iterated stellar…
Hankel determinants of sequences related to Bernoulli and Euler numbers have been studied before, and numerous identities are known. However, when a sequence is shifted by one unit, the situation often changes significantly. In this paper…
Some formulae are given for the enumeration of certain types of dissections of the convex (n+2)-gon by non-crossing diagonals. The classical Schroeder and Motzkin numbers are addressed using a cataloguing tool, the "reversive symbol". The…
We give the trace representation of a family of binary sequences derived from Euler quotients by determining the corresponding defining polynomials. Trace representation can help us producing the sequences efficiently and analyzing their…
We give a simple statistical proof of a binomial identity, by evaluating the Laplace transform of the maximum of n independent exponential random variables in two different ways. As a by product, we obtain a simple proof of an interesting…
We prove a conjecture of Northshield by determining the maximal order of his analogue of Stern's sequence for $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{2}]$. In particular, if $b$ is Northshield's analogue, we prove that…
Let $t\geq2$ and $k\geq1$ be integers. Let $H_{k}(z)$ with $\left\vert z\right\vert <1$ be the limit of a certain subsequence of the Stern polynomials introduced by Dilcher and Eriksen. We use Mahler's method to prove the algebraic…
