I discuss a variety of results involving s(n), the number of representations of n as a sum of three squares. One of my objectives is to reveal numerous interesting connections between the properties of this function and certain modular…

Nested counter systems (NCS) are a generalization of counter systems to higher-order counters. Here, a higher-order counter is allowed to have other (lower-order) counters as elements, instead of just a number. Such systems can be viewed as…

For a vector $\mathbf a=(a_1,\ldots,a_r)$ of positive integers we prove formulas for the restricted partition function $p_{\mathbf a}(n): = $ the number of integer solutions $(x_1,\dots,x_r)$ to $\sum_{j=1}^r a_jx_j=n$ with $x_1\geq 0,…

A C99 program is presented which calculates the Clausen sums for non-negative integer indices j and real arguments x. The implementation is split into three major cases. For large j, a direct, truncated summation of the sum is performed.…

We consider $N$, the number of solutions $(x,y,u,v)$ to the equation $ (-1)^u r a^x + (-1)^v s b^y = c $ in nonnegative integers $x, y$ and integers $u, v \in \{0,1\}$, for given integers $a>1$, $b>1$, $c>0$, $r>0$ and $s>0$. When…

Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…

In this paper we show how to find a closed form solution for third order difference operators in terms of solutions of second order operators. This work is an extension of previous results on finding closed form solutions of recurrence…

We use new bounds of double exponential sums with ratios of integers from prescribed intervals to get an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions to congruences $$ \sum_{j=1}^n a_j x_jy_j^{-1} \equiv a_0 \pmod p, $$ with variables…

In this paper we examine a number of term rewriting system for integer number representations, building further upon the datatype defining systems described in [2]. In particular, we look at automated methods for proving confluence and…

In a typical regular expression (regex) crossword puzzle, you are given two nonempty lists $R_1,\ldots,R_m$ and $C_1,\ldots,C_n$ of regular expressions over some alphabet, and your goal is to fill in an $m\times n$ grid with letters from…

Given a complex number $c$, define the divisor function $\sigma_c:\mathbb N\to\mathbb C$ by $\sigma_c(n)=\sum_{d\mid n}d^c$. In this paper, we look at $\overline{\sigma_{-r}(\mathbb N)}$, the topological closures of the image of…

We present a partial proof of van Hoeij-Abramov conjecture about the algorithmic possibility of computation of finite sums of rational functions. The theoretical results proved in this paper provide an algorithm for computation of a large…

We prove a stratification result for certain families of $n$-dimensional (complete algebraic) multiplicative character sums. The character sums we consider are sums of products of $r$ multiplicative characters evaluated at rational…

We show that there exists a fixed recursive function $e$ such that for all functions $h\colon \mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$, there exists an injective function $c_h\colon \mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}$ such that $c_h(h(n))=e(c_h(n))$, i.e.,…

Let $s(n)$ be the number of different remainders $n \bmod k$, where $1 \leq k \leq \lfloor n/2 \rfloor$. This rather natural sequence is sequence A283190 in the OEIS and while some basic facts are known, it seems that surprisingly it has…

Sums of the form $\sum_{N_m=q}^{n}{\cdots \sum_{N_1=q}^{N_2}{a_{(m);N_m}\cdots a_{(1);N_1}}}$ where the $a_{(k);N_k}$'s are same or distinct sequences appear quite often in mathematics. We will refer to them as recurrent sums. In this…

For any given set $A$ of nonnegative integers and for any given two positive integers $k_1,k_2$, $R_{k_1,k_2}(A,n)$ is defined as the number of solutions of the equation $n=k_1a_1+k_2a_2$ with $a_1,a_2\in A$. In this paper, we prove that if…

An exact formula \[ B(n) = \frac{n}{2}(\lfloor \lg n \rfloor + 1) - \sum _{k=0} ^{\lfloor \lg n \rfloor} 2^k Zigzag(\frac{n}{2^{k+1}}), \] where \[ Zigzag (x) = \min (x - \lfloor x \rfloor, \lceil x \rceil - x), \] for the minimal number $…

We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…

We develop a recursive scheme, as well as polynomial forms (polynomials in $n$ of degree $m$), for the evaluation of Ledin and Brousseau's Fibonacci sums of the form $S(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mF_{k + r}$, $T(m,n,r)=\sum_{k=1}^nk^mL_{k + r}$…
