In this paper, we reveal an internal structure within Dedekind numbers, demonstrating that they can be expressed as polynomials of powers of 2. This discovery is based on innovative concepts and methods, offering a new perspective on the…

Let $(M_n)_{n\geq0}$ be the Mersenne sequence defined by $M_n=2^n-1$. Let $\omega(n)$ be the number of distinct prime divisors of $n.$ In this short note, we present a description of the Mersenne numbers satisfying $\omega(M_n)\leq3$.…

For each natural number $m\ge 3$, let $P_m(x)$ denote the generalized $m$-gonal number $\frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2}$ with $x\in\mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, with the help of the congruence theta function, we establish conditions on $a$, $b$,…

We study the equation $(x-4r)^3 + (x-3r)^3 + (x-2r)^3+(x-r)^3 + x^3 + (x+r)^3+(x+2r)^3 + (x+3r)^3 + (x+4r)^3 = y^p$, which is a natural continuation of previous works carried out by A. Arg\'{a}ez-Garc\'{i}a and the fourth author (perfect…

We present a new formula for the highest power of $a+b$ that divides the sum $B(n,m,a,b)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}^m a^{n-k}b^k$ for the case $m=2$. By using this formula, we give complete 3-adic valuation for central Dellanoy numbers.…

A rational Diophantine $m$-tuple is a set $\{a_1,\ldots,a_m\}$ of distinct nonzero rational numbers such that $a_i a_j+1$ is a square for all $1\leq i < j\leq m$. Similarly, we may ask when $a_ia_j+1$ is a $k$-th power. Here, we study the…

We develop a variety of new techniques to treat Diophantine equations of the shape $x^2+D =y^n$, based upon bounds for linear forms in $p$-adic and complex logarithms, the modularity of Galois representations attached to Frey-Hellegouarch…

Let $P_8(x)=3x^2-2x$. For positive integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$, a polynomial of the form $a_1P_8(x_1)+a_2P_8(x_2)+\cdots+a_kP_8(x_k)$ is called an octagonal form. For a positive integer $n$, an octagonal form is called tight $\mathcal…

For a subset $S$ of nonnegative integers and a vector $\mathbf{a}=(a_1,\dots,a_k)$ of positive integers, let $V'_S(\mathbf{a})=\{ a_1s_1+\cdots+a_ks_k : s_i\in S\} \setminus \{0\}$. For a positive integer $n$, let $\mathcal T(n)$ be the set…

For integer $m, p,$ we study tangent power sum $\sum^m_{k=1}\tan^{2p}\frac{\pi k}{2m+1}.$ We prove that, for every $m, p,$ it is integer, and, for a fixed p, it is a polynomial in $m$ of degree $2p.$ We give recurrent, asymptotical and…

In this article, we consider weighted sums of generalized polygonal numbers with coefficients $1$ or $2$. We show that for any $m\ge10$, those weighted sums of generalized $m$-gonal numbers represent every non-negative integers if they only…

We consider a set of equations of the form $p_j (x,y) = (10 x+m_j)(10 y + n_j),\,\,x\geq 0, y\geq0$, $j=1,2,3$, such that $\{m_1=7, n_1=3\}$, $\{m_2=n_2=9\}$ and $\{m_3=n_3=1\}$, respectively. It is shown that if $(a(p_j),b(p_j)) \in N…

We prove that a non-degenerate simple linear recurrence sequence $ (G_n(x))_{n=0}^{\infty} $ of polynomials satisfying some further conditions cannot contain arbitrary large powers of polynomials if the order of the sequence is at least…

We call an odd positive integer $n$ a $\textit{Descartes number}$ if there exist positive integers $k,m$ such that $n = km$ and \begin{equation} \sigma(k)(m+1) = 2km \end{equation} Currently, $\mathcal{D} = 3^{2}7^{2}11^{2}13^{2}22021$ is…

Let $n$ be a non-negative integer and put $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{i=0}^{n}(x+i)$. In the first part of the paper, for given $n$, we study the existence of integer solutions of the Diophantine equation $$ y^m=p_{n}(x)+\sum_{i=1}^{k}p_{a_{i}}(x), $$…

Generalized $m$-gonal numbers are those $p_m(x)= [ (m - 2)x^2 - (m - 4)x ]/2 $ where $x$ and $m$ are integers with $m \geq 3$. If any nonnegative integer can be written in the form $ap_r(h)+bp_s(l)+cp_t(m)+dp_u(n)$, where $a,b,c,d$ are…

We provide a decomposition that is sufficient in showing when a symmetric tridiagonal matrix $A$ is completely positive. Our decomposition can be applied to a wide range of matrices. We give alternate proofs for a number of related results…

For a prime $p$ and a positive integer $s$ consider a homogeneous linear system over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$ (the ring of integers modulo $p^s$) described by an $n \times m$-matrix. The possible number of solutions to such a system is…

In this paper, we consider sums of three generalized $m$-gonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restrictions on $m$ modulo $30$, we show that a density one set of…

This paper proposes an elementary solution to a special case of finding all perfect squares that can be written as sum of consecutive integer cubes. It is shown that there are no non-trivial solutions if the perfect square is a prime power,…
