Let $(m, n, k)$ be a tuple of integers with the property that if $i \leq k$, then $m + i$ and $n + i$ have the same radical. Using a result on the abc Conjecture, we bound $k$ from above, improving a result of Balasubramanian, Shorey, and…

The generalized Waring problem asks exactly which positive integers cannot be expressed as the sum of $j$ positive $k$-th powers? Using computational techniques, this paper refines an approach introduced by Zenkin, establishes results for…

Let $f(n)$ denote the maximum sum of the side lengths of $n$ non-overlapping squares packed inside a unit square. We prove that $f(n^2+1) = n$ for all positive integers $n$ if and only if the sum $\sum_{k\geq 1}(f(k^2+1)-k)$ converges. We…

For n=1,2,3,... define S(n) as the smallest integer m>1 such that those 2k(k-1) mod m for k=1,...,n are pairwise distinct; we show that S(n) is the least prime greater than 2n-2 and hence the value set of the function S(n) is exactly the…

E26 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes de theoremate quodam Fermatiano aliisque ad numeros primos spectantibus" (1732). In this paper Euler gives a counterexample to Fermat's claim that all numbers of…

For positive integers $k < n$ such that $k$ divides $n$, let $(n)^k_{\hom}$ be the set of homogeneous $k$-partitions of $\{1, \dots, n\}$, that is, the set of partitions of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ into $k$ classes of the same cardinality. In the…

We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…

In this paper, we explore identities that allow for representation of positive integers raised to positive integral powers as sums of nested sums of smaller positive integral powers. We begin by establishing the base identity involving…

In 1876, Edouard Lucas showed that if an integer $b$ exists such that $b^{n-1} \equiv 1 (\mathrm{mod} \ n)$ and $b^{(n-1)/p} \not\equiv 1( \mathrm{mod} \ n)$ for all prime divisors $p$ of $n-1$ , then $n$ is prime, a result known as Lucas's…

Let $1<c<d$ be two relatively prime integers, $g_{c,d}=cd-c-d$ and $\mathbb{P}$ is the set of primes. For any given integer $k \geq 1$, we prove that $$\#\left\{p^k\le g_{c,d}:p\in \mathbb{P}, ~p^k=cx+dy,~x,y\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geqslant0}…

The investigation of primes in certain arithmetic sequences is one of the fundamental problems in number theory and especially, finding blocks of distinct primes has gained a lot of attention in recent years. In this context, we prove the…

Let $M$ be a positive integer and $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer $r$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that \[ p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. \]…

In 1960, W. Sierpinski proved that there are infinitely many positive odd numbers $k$, such that for any positive integer $n$, $k\times2^n+1$ is a composite number. Such numbers are called "Sierpinski numbers". In this study, by using…

Let $A$ be a sequence of positive integers and $P(A)$ be the set of all integers which are the finite sum of distinct terms of $A$. For given positive integers $u\in\{4,7,8\}\cup\{u:u\ge11\}$ and $v\ge 3u+5$ we know that $u+v+1$ is the…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. In 1950, P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that if $c$ is an arbitrarily given constant, $x$ is sufficiently large and $a_1,\dots , a_t$ are positive integers with $a_1<a_2<\cdot\cdot\cdot<a_t\leqslant…

Let $\mathcal{R}$ denote the set of integers $n$ that can be represented as the sum $n = x^2 + y^2$ with $(x,y) = 1$. Let $a$ and $b$ be integers with $a>0$, $a \nmid b$. We show that for sufficiently large positive integer $N$ there are…

In this note we prove that \[ j!\,2^N \, \binom{N+j-1}{j} \, {}_2F_1\left(\begin{matrix}-j,-2j \\ -N-j+1 \end{matrix};-1\right) = \sum_{l=0}^N \binom{N}{l}\prod_{i=0}^{j-1}2(2i+1+l), \] where $ N $ and $ j $ are positive integers, which…

In a recent advance towards the Prime $k$-tuple Conjecture, Maynard and Tao have shown that if $k$ is sufficiently large in terms of $m$, then for an admissible $k$-tuple $\mathcal{H}(x) = \{gx + h_j\}_{j=1}^k$ of linear forms in…

In 1950 G. Giuga studied the congruence $\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} j^{n-1} \equiv -1$ (mod $n$) and conjectured that it was only satisfied by prime numbers. In this work we generalize Giuga's ideas considering, for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, the…

We show that whenever $s>k(k+1)$, then for any complex sequence $(\mathfrak a_n)_{n\in \mathbb Z}$, one has $$\int_{[0,1)^k}\left| \sum_{|n|\le N}\mathfrak a_ne(\alpha_1n+\ldots +\alpha_kn^k) \right|^{2s}\,{\rm d}{\mathbf \alpha}\ll…
