Let a(n,k) be the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial. The first two authors showed in part I that if m is a prime power and n and k range over the non-negative integers, then a(mn,k) assumes every integer value. Here this…

Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…

Given a formal power series f(z) we define, for any positive integer r, its rth Witt transform, W_f^{(r)}, by rW_f^{(r)}(z)=sum_{d|r}mu(d)f(z^d)^{r/d}, where mu is the Moebius function. The Witt transform generalizes the necklace…

In this paper, we give a new class of rigid Coxeter groups. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. Suppose that (0) for each $s,t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is even, $m(s,t)=2$, (1) for each $s\neq t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd, $\{s,t\}$ is a…

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…

In this paper, we first prove that given a nonnegative integer $m$ and an odd number $t$ not divisible by $3$, there exists a unique Collatz's Sequence \[ S_{c}(m,t)=\{n_{0}(m,t),n_{1}(m,t),n_{2}(m,t),\ldots,n_{m}(m,t),n_{m+1}(m,t)\} \]…

We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…

We compute the class of a divisor on M_{g,n} given as the closure of the locus of smooth pointed curves [C; x_1,..., x_n] for which \sum d_j x_j has an effective representative, where d_j are integers summing up to g-1, not all positive.…

For $x>0$ let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. For integers $a$ and $m>0$, we determine when there is an integer $n>1$ with $\pi(n)=(n+a)/m$. In particular, we show that for any integers $m>2$ and $a\le\lceil…

Let [\theta] denote the integer part and {\theta} the fractional part of the real number \theta. For \theta > 1 and {\theta^{1/n}} \neq 0, define M_{\theta}(n) = [1/{\theta^{1/n}}]. The arithmetic function M_{\theta}(n) is eventually…

Let $x$ be a positive integer. We give an asymptotic result for $\omega(\operatorname{lcm}(m,n))$ summed over all positive integers $m$ and $n$ with $mn \le x$. This answers an open question posed in a recent paper.

We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…

By some extremely simple arguments, we point out the following: (i) If n is the least positive k-th power non-residue modulo a positive integer m, then the greatest number of consecutive k-th power residues mod m is smaller than m/n. (ii)…

In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…

For positive integers $s$, $t$, $m$ and $n$, the Zarankiewicz number $Z_{s,t}(m,n)$ is defined to be the maximum number of edges in a bipartite graph with parts of sizes $m$ and $n$ that has no complete biparitite subgraph containing $s$…

We give a geometric interpretation of all the $m$-th elliptic integrable systems associated to a $k'$-symmetric space $N=G/G_0$ (in the sense of C.L. Terng). It turns out that we have to introduce the integer $m_{k'}$ defined by m_{1}=0 and…

For positive integers $m$ and $n$, define $f(m,n)$ to be the smallest integer such that any subset $A$ of the $m \times n$ integer grid with $|A| \geq f(m,n)$ contains a rectangle; that is, there are $x\in [m]$ and $y \in [n]$ and…

For positive integers m and n, denote S(m,n) as the associated Stirling number of the second kind and let z be a complex variable. In this paper, we introduce the Stirling functions S(m,n,z) which satisfy S(m,n,z) = S(m,n) for any z which…

A nonempty finite set of positive integers A is relatively prime if gcd(A) = 1 and it is relatively prime to n if gcd(A [ fng) = 1. The number of nonempty subsets of A which are relatively prime to n is \Phi(A, n) and the number of such…

We consider the problem of encoding two-dimensional arrays, whose elements come from a total order, for answering \topk{} queries. The aim is to obtain encodings that use space close to the information-theoretic lower bound, which can be…
