We study a recently introduced base $b$ polynomial analog of Stern's diatomic sequence, which generalizes Stern polynomials of Klavar, Dilcher, Ericksen, Mansour, Stolarsky, and others. We lift some basic properties of base $2$ Stern…

Let $\ord$ be the maximal order of a number field. Belcher showed in the 1970s that every algebraic integer in $\ord$ is the sum of pairwise distinct units, if the unit equation $u+v=2$ has a non-trivial solution $u,v\in\ord^*$. We…

Building on previous work by Lambert, Plagne and the third author, we study various aspects of the behavior of additive bases in infinite abelian groups and semigroups. We show that, for every infinite abelian group $T$, the number of…

In this paper we give a generalization of the main results in \cite{ab,ab1} about $b$-ary expansions of algebraic numbers. As a byproduct we get a large class of new transcendence criteria. One of our corollaries implies that $b$-ary…

Following Wigert, various authors, including Ramanujan, Gronwall, Erd\H{o}s, Ivi\'{c}, Schwarz, Wirsing, and Shiu, determined the maximal order of several multiplicative functions, generalizing Wigert's result $$\max_{n\leq x} \log d(n) =…

We prove simple theorems concerning the maximal order of a large class of multiplicative functions. As an application, we determine the maximal orders of certain functions of the type $\sigma_A(n)= \sum_{d\in A(n)} d$, where A(n) is a…

We will prove several expanders with exponent strictly greater than $2$. For any finite set $A \subset \mathbb R$, we prove the following six-variable expander results: \begin{align*} |(A-A)(A-A)(A-A)| &\gg…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer and $\xi$ an irrational real number. We establishes that, if the irrationality exponent of $\xi$ is less than $2.324 \ldots$, then the $b$-ary expansion of $\xi$ cannot be `too simple', in a suitable sense. This…

Some nonlinear extensions of the vector maximality statement established by Goepfert, Tammer and Zalinescu [Nonl. Anal., 39 (2000), 909-922] are given. Basic instruments for these are the Brezis-Browder ordering principle [Advances Math.,…

Let $N(x,y)$ denote the number of integers $n\le x$ which are divisible by a shifted prime $p-1$ with $p>y$, $p$ prime. Improving upon recent bounds of McNew, Pollack and Pomerance, we establish the exact order of growth of $N(x,y)$ for all…

The well known binary and decimal representations of the integers, and other similar number systems, admit many generalisations. Here, we investigate whether still every integer could have a finite expansion on a given integer base b, when…

Modulo the existence of large cardinals, there is a model of set theory in which for some set $B$ of regular cardinals, the sequence $\langle \text{pcf}^\alpha(B): \alpha \in \text{Ord} \rangle$ is strictly increasing. The result answers a…

Let $b \ge 2$ be an integer. We prove that the $b$-adic expansion of every irrational algebraic number cannot have low complexity. Furthermore, we establish that irrational morphic numbers are transcendental, for a wide class of morphisms.…

We describe the set of maximal orders in a 2-by-2 matrix algebra over a non-commutative local division algebra B containing a given suborder, for certain important families of such suborders, including rings of integers of division…

We introduce the \emph{Parry order} $\mathrm{Ord}_P(\beta)$, defined as the largest integer $n$ for which $\beta^n$ is a Parry number. This leads to a natural partition of the set of Perron numbers as follows: \[ \mathcal{P} = \left(…

The main results of this paper are the construction, both rigourous and intuitive, of "the" intrinsic extension of the set of non negative integers N and the smallest over-field of R set which is continue (according to R.Dedekind). The aim…

Maximal Orders over an algebra are a generalization of the concept of a Dedekind domain. The definition given in Maximal Orders by Reiner, assumes that the field over which the algebra is defined is in the center of the order. Since we want…

The method of double extension, introduced by A.~Medina and Ph.~Revoy, is a procedure which decomposes a Lie algebra with an invariant symmetric form into elementary pieces. Such decompositions were developed for other algebras, for…

We motivate and study an infinite sequence of binary operations on the ordinal numbers, extending the standard arithmetic on the ordinals to higher degrees of iteration. Connections to the hyperoperations on the natural numbers are…

We determine a Groebner basis for the secant ideal of the toric ideal associated to the second hypersimplex, with respect to any circular term order. The Groebner basis of the secant ideal requires polynomials of odd degree up to n. This…
