A positive integer $n$ is said to be a palindrome in base $b$ (or $b$-adic palindrome) if the representation of $n = (a_k a_{k-1} \cdots a_0)_b$ in base $b$ with $a_k \neq 0$ has the symmetric property $a_{k-i} = a_i$ for every…

A double-base representation of an integer n is an expression n = n_1 + ... + n_r, where the n_i are (positive or negative) integers that are divisible by no primes other than 2 or 3; the length of the representation is the number r of…

A natural number N is said to be palindromic if its binary representation reads the same forwards and backwards. In this paper we study the quotients of two palindromic numbers and answer some basic questions about the resulting sets of…

For $g \ge 2$, we show that the number of positive integers at most $X$ which can be written as sum of two base $g$ palindromes is at most $\frac{X}{\log^c X}$. This answers a question of Baxter, Cilleruelo and Luca.

A palindrome in base $g$ is an integer $N$ that remains the same when its digit expansion in base $g$ is reversed. Let $g$ and $h$ be given distinct integers $>1$. In this paper we discuss how many integers are palindromes in base $g$ and…

For integer $g\ge 5$, we prove that any positive integer can be written as a sum of three palindromes in base $g$.

Recently, Cilleruelo, Luca, & Baxter proved, for all bases b >= 5, that every natural number is the sum of at most 3 natural numbers whose base-b representation is a palindrome. However, the cases b = 2, 3, 4 were left unresolved. We prove,…

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…

For a non-integral real number $c>1$, let $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}:=\{\lfloor n^c\rfloor ~|~ n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. We show that $\mathbb{N}_{(c)}$ contains thin subbases of every order $h\geq 5$ when $1<c<2$, and $h\geq (\lfloor 2c\rfloor+1)(\lfloor…

Let $h,k \ge 2$ be integers. A set $A$ of positive integers is called asymptotic basis of order $k$ if every large enough positive integer can be written as the sum of $k$ terms from $A$. A set of positive integers $A$ is said to be a…

The reversal of a positive integer $A$ is the number obtained by reading $A$ backwards in its decimal representation. A pair $(A,B)$ of positive integers is said to be palindromic if the reversal of the product $A \times B$ is equal to the…

It is proven that the only integer solutions $(a,b)$ such that $a+b$ and $ab$ are palindromic are $(2,5\cdot 10^k-3)$, $(3,24)$ and $(9,9)$, and in a similar fashion, $b-a$ and $ab$ are only palindromic at $(a,b)=(3,147\cdot…

We show that there exist exactly 203 positive integers $N$ such that for some integer $d \geq 2$ this number is a $d$-digit palindrome base 10 as well as a $d$-digit palindrome for some base $b$ different from 10. To be more precise, such…

Let $D$ be a subset of a finite commutative ring $R$ with identity. Let $f(x)\in R[x]$ be a polynomial of positive degree $d$. For integer $0\leq k \leq |D|$, we study the number $N_f(D,k,b)$ of $k$-subsets $S\subseteq D$ such that…

Given two positive integers $M$ and $k$, let $\B_k$ be the set of bases $q>1$ such that there exists a real number $x$ having exactly $k$ different $q$-expansions over the alphabet $\{0,1,\cdots,M\}$. In this paper we investigate the…

For a given base $g\ge2$, a positive integer is called a palindrome if its base $g$ expansion reads the same backwards as forwards. In this paper, we give an asymptotic formula for the number of relatively prime pairs of palindromes of a…

Everybody has certainly heard about palindromes: words that stay the same when read backwards. For instance kayak, radar, or rotor. Mathematicians are interested in palindromic numbers: positive integers whose expansion in a certain integer…

Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers, $n>k$. Define $r(n,k)$ to be the minimum positive value of $$ |\sqrt{a_1} + ... + \sqrt{a_k} - \sqrt{b_1} - >... -\sqrt{b_k} | $$ where $ a_1, a_2, ..., a_k, b_1, b_2, ..., b_k $ are positive integers…

In a multi-base representation of an integer (in contrast to, for example, the binary or decimal representation) the base (or radix) is replaced by products of powers of single bases. The resulting numeral system has desirable properties…

We introduce two new classes of integers. The first class consists of numbers $N$ for which there exists at least one nonnegative integer $A$, such that the sum of $A$ and the sum of digits of $N$, added to the reversal of the sum, gives…
