In this paper we study sum-free subsets of the set $\{1,...,n\}$, that is, subsets of the first $n$ positive integers which contain no solution to the equation $x + y = z$. Cameron and Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1990 that the number of such…

Let Q_K=(Q,<_Q)$ be a strongly K-dense linear order of size K for a suitable cardinal K. We prove, for all integers m > 1 that there is a finite value t_m^+ such that the set of all m-tuples from Q can be divided into t_m^+ many classes,…

A famous conjecture of Erd\H os and Straus is that for every integer $n\ge2$, $4/n$ can be represented as $1/x+1/y+1/z$, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers. This conjecture was generalized to $5/n$ by Sierpi\'nski, and then Schinzel…

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, $m(s,t)\in\{2\}\cup 4\N$, (1) for each $s\neq t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd,…

Let $v=2ms+t$ be a positive integer, where $t$ divides $2ms$, and let $J$ be the subgroup of order $t$ of the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_v$. An integer Heffter array $H_t(m,n;s,k)$ over $\mathbb{Z}_v$ relative to $J$ is an $m\times n$…

Let $m>1$ and $\mathfrak{d} \neq 0$ be integers such that $v_{p}(\mathfrak{d}) \neq m$ for any prime $p$. We construct a matrix $A(\mathfrak{d})$ of size $(m-1) \times (m-1)$ depending on only of $\mathfrak{d}$ with the following property:…

A finite set of integers $A$ is a sum-dominant (also called an More Sums Than Differences or MSTD) set if $|A+A| > |A-A|$. While almost all subsets of $\{0, \dots, n\}$ are not sum-dominant, interestingly a small positive percentage are. We…

Given integer $n > 0$ and $m > 1$, we call a partition of set $[n] = \{1, \dots, n\}$ {\em $m$-good} if each of the partitioning sets is of size at most $m$ and the sum of numbers in it is a power of $m$, that is, $m^t$ for some $t \geq 0$.…

Given a prime $p\ge5$ and an integer $s\ge1$, we show that there exists an integer $M$ such that for any quadratic polynomial $f$ with coefficients in the ring of integers modulo $p^s$, such that $f$ is not a square, if a sequence…

We investigate here the representability of integers as sums of triangular numbers, where the $n$-th triangular number is given by $T_n = n(n + 1)/2$. In particular, we show that $f(x_1,x_2,..., x_k) = b_1 T_{x_1} +...+ b_k T_{x_k}$, for…

We present some simple proofs of the well-known expressions for \[ \zeta(2k) = \sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{1}{m^{2k}}, \qquad \beta(2k+1) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^m}{(2m+1)^{2k+1}}, \] where $k = 1,2,3,\dots$, in terms of the Bernoulli…

Let $S$ be a finite set of primes. The $S$-part $[m]_S$ of a non-zero integer $m$ is the largest positive divisor of $m$ that is composed of primes from $S$. In 2013, Gross and Vincent proved that if $f(X)$ is a polynomial with integer…

Let $\mathcal{A}=(a_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}_+}$ be a sequence of positive integers. Let $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ denote the number of multi-color partitions of $n$ into parts in $\{a_1,\ldots,a_k\}$. We examine several arithmetic properties of the…

Given an integral lattice $\Lambda$ of rank $n$ and a finite sequence $m_1 \leq m_2 \leq ... \leq m_k$ of natural numbers we construct a modular form $\Theta_{m_1,m_2,...,m_k,\Lambda}$ of level $N=N(\Lambda)$. The weight of this modular…

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…

In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

Let $f$ be an ordinary polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[z_1,..., z_n]$ with no negative exponents and with no factor of the form $z_1^{\alpha_1}... z_n^{\alpha_n}$ where $\alpha_i$ are non zero natural integer. If we assume in addicting that $f$…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…

For integers $k$, we consider the affine cubic surface $V_{k}$ given by $M({\bf x})=x_{1}^2 + x_{2}^2 +x_{3}^2 -x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=k$. We show that for almost all $k$ the Hasse Principle holds, namely that $V_{k}(\mathbb{Z})$ is non-empty if…

Let $A$ be a non-isotrivial almost ordinary abelian surface with possibly bad reductions over a global function field of odd characteristic $p$. Suppose $\Delta$ is an infinite set of positive integers, such that…
