We give a method to embed the q-series in a (p,q)-series and derive the corresponding (p,q)-extensions of the known q-identities. The (p,q)-hypergeometric series, or twin-basic hypergeometric series (diferent from the usual bibasic…

Let $b$ be a numeration base. A $b$-Niven number is one that is divisible by the sum of its base $b$ digits. We introduce high degree $b$-Niven numbers. These are $b$-Niven numbers that have a power greater than $1$ that is $b$-Niven…

Given a newform with the Fourier expansion $\sum_{n=1}^\infty b(n)q^n\in\mathbb Z[[q]]$, a prime $p$ is said to be non-ordinary if $p\mid b(p)$. We exemplify several newforms of weight 4 for which the latter divisibility implies a stronger…

We define the Bernoulli polynomials with a $q$ parameter in terms of $r$-Whitney numbers of the second kind. Some algebraic properties and combinatorial identities of these polynomials are given. Also, we obtain several relations between…

A study of certain Hamiltonian systems has lead Y. Long to conjecture the existence of infinitely many primes of the form $p=2[\alpha n]+1$, where $1<\alpha<2$ is a fixed irrational number. An argument of P. Ribenboim coupled with classical…

We show that the use of the main characteristics of the circle map leads naturally to establish a few statements on primes and pseudoprimes. In this way a Fermat's theorem on primes and some interesting properties of pseudoprimes are…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. For an $R$-module $M$, the notion of strongly prime submodule of $M$ is defined. It is shown that this notion of prime submodule inherits most of the essential properties of the usual notion of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ the degree $n$ extension of $\mathbb{F}_q$. A normal basis of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ over $\mathbb{F} _q$ is a basis of the form…

A natural number $n$ is called semi-prime if it is a product of two primes or a square of a prime. We denote $\mathbb{P}_2$ the set of all semi-primes. Our goal is to prove that for fixed integer number $a$ and sufficiently large $x$ the…

We investigate bicomplex analogues of fundamental notions from classical algebraic number theory. In particular, we show that the primitive element theorem admits a natural generalization to bicomplex extensions, giving rise to two distinct…

We reveal a natural algebraic problem whose complexity appears to interpolate between the well-known complexity classes BQP and NP: (*) Decide whether a univariate polynomial with exactly m monomial terms has a p-adic rational root. In…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\F_p$ without complex multiplication, and for each prime $p$ of good reduction, let $n_E(p) = | E(\F_p) |$. Let $Q_{E,b}(x)$ be the number of primes $p \leq x$ such that $b^{n_E(p)} \equiv b\,({\rm…

We consider Kemp's q-analogue of the binomial distribution. Several convergence results involving the classical binomial, the Heine, the discrete normal, and the Poisson distribution are established. Some of them are q-analogues of…

We outline some simple prescriptions to define a distribution on the set $\mathbb{Q}_0$ of all the rational numbers in $[0,1]$, and we then explore both a few properties of these distributions, and the possibility of making these rational…

In this overview paper a direct approach to q-Chebyshev polynomials and their elementary properties is given. Special emphasis is placed on analogies with the classical case. There are also some connections with q-tangent and q-Genocchi…

We say a natural number~$n$ is abundant if $\sigma(n)>2n$, where $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the divisors of~$n$. The aliquot parts of~$n$ are those divisors less than~$n$, and we say that an abundant number~$n$ is pseudoperfect if there…

Let $K$ be a fixed number field, and assume that $K$ is Galois over $\qq$. Previously, the author showed that when estimating the number of prime ideals with norm congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ via the Chebotar\"ev Density Theorem, the mean…

P\'{o}lya trees fix partitions and use random probabilities in order to construct random probability measures. With quantile pyramids we instead fix probabilities and use random partitions. For nonparametric Bayesian inference we use a…

Ordinary binary multiplication of natural numbers can be generalized in a non-trivial way to a ternary operation by considering discrete volumes of lattice hexagons. With this operation, a natural notion of `3-primality' -- primality with…

Following Stolarsky, we say that a natural number n is flimsy in base b if some positive multiple of n has smaller digit sum in base b than n does; otherwise it is sturdy. We develop algorithmic methods for the study of sturdy and flimsy…
