In this article, we make use of some known method to investigate some properties of the numbers represented as sums of two equal odd powers, i.e., the equation $x^n+y^n=N$ for $n\ge3$. It was originated in developing algorithms to search…
The generalized taxicab number $T(n,m,t)$ is equal to the smallest number that is the sum of $n$ positive $m$th powers in $t$ ways. This definition is inspired by Ramanujan's observation that $1729 = 1^3+ 12^3 =9^3 + 10^3 $ is the smallest…
The primary Carmichael numbers were recently introduced as a special subset of the Carmichael numbers. A primary Carmichael number $m$ has the unique property that $s_p(m) = p$ holds for each prime factor $p$, where $s_p(m)$ is the sum of…
In the year 2007, the author discovered an intriguing property of the number $198$ he saw on the license plate of a car. Namely, if we take $198$ and its reversal $891$, prime factorize each number, and sum the numbers appearing in each…
Mobile sequential recommendation was originally designed to find a promising route for a single taxicab. Directly applying it for multiple taxicabs may cause an excessive overlap of recommended routes. The multi-taxicab recommendation…
Generalized taxicab numbers are the smallest positive integers that are the sum of exactly $j$, positive $k$-th powers in exactly $m$ distinct ways. This paper is considers for which values of $m$ does a smallest such integer exist as $j$…
A natural analogue to angles and trigonometry is developed in taxicab geometry. This structure is then analyzed to see which, if any, congruent triangle relations hold. A nice application involving the use of parallax to determine the exact…
In this paper we represent $n-$dimensional discrete Taxicab geometry by base--($4n+1$) numeral system. The algebraic structure of this base--($4n+1$) system is similar to unary system, we call it quasi-unary (QU) representation. QU…
The famous open problem of finding positive integer solutions to $a^5 + b^5 = c^5 + d^5$ is considered, and related solutions are found in two distinct settings: firstly, where $a$ and $b$ are both positive integers with $c$ and $d$ both…
Around the year 2007, one of the authors, Tsai, accidentally discovered a property of the number $198$ he saw on the license plate of a car. Namely, if we take $198$ and its reversal $891$, which have prime factorizations $198 = 2\cdot…
When numbers are added in base $b$ in the usual way, carries occur. If two random, independent 1-digit numbers are added, then the probability of a carry is $\frac{b-1}{2b}$. Other choices of digits lead to less carries. In particular, if…
The existence of excircles and an Apollonius circle for a triangle in taxicab geometry are connected to the concept of inscribed triangles.
We extend our previous computations to show that there are 585355 Carmichael numbers up to $10^{17}$. As before, the numbers were generated by a back-tracking search for possible prime factorisations together with a ``large prime…
In the present paper we explore a way to represent numbers with respect to the base $-\frac32$ using the set of digits $\{0,1,2\}$. Although this number system shares several properties with the classical decimal system, it shows remarkable…
A repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, i.e., a number has the form $d(10^m-1)/9$ for some $m\geq 1$ and $1 \leq d \leq 9$. Let $\left(T_n\right)_{n\ge0}$ be the sequence of Tribonacci.…
We show that Euler's relation and the Taxi-Cab relation are both solutions of the same equation. General solutions of sums of two consecutive cubes equaling the sum of two other cubes are calculated. There is an infinite number of relations…
Natural numbers from 0 to 11111 are written in terms of 1 to 9 in two different ways. The first one in increasing order of 1 to 9, and the second one in decreasing order. This is done by using the operations of addition, multiplication,…
A construction to arbitrarily section a taxicab angle into an equal number of angles in (pure) taxicab geometry is presented.
We consider the integers having the property of reversing when multiplied by a specific integer k. First, we proved that k should be either 1, 4 or 9. Second, we classify these integers as (10, 1)- reverse multiples, (10, 4)- reverse…
The Butterfly Theorem is explored in Taxicab Geometry.
