A word $u=u_1\dots u_n$ is a scattered factor of a word $w$ if $u$ can be obtained from $w$ by deleting some of its letters: there exist the (potentially empty) words $v_0,v_1,..,v_n$ such that $w = v_0u_1v_1...u_nv_n$. The set of all…

We say that the order of an algebraic number $A$ is the minimum of positive integers $k$ such that $A^k$ is rational. In this paper, we show that the number of algebraic numbers $A$ with order $k$ such that \[ A,\ A^A,\ A^{A^A},\ \ldots \]…

We consider the integers having the property of reversing when multiplied by a specific integer k. First, we proved that k should be either 1, 4 or 9. Second, we classify these integers as (10, 1)- reverse multiples, (10, 4)- reverse…

Let $A\subseteq \mathbb Z_n$ be a subset. A sequence $S=(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$ in $\mathbb Z_n$ is said to be an $A$-weighted zero-sum sequence if there exist $a_1,\ldots,a_k\in A$ such that $a_1x_1+\cdots+a_kx_k=0$. By a square, we shall mean a…

For a fixed integer $k$, we define a sequence $A_k=(a_k(n))_{n\geq0}$ and a corresponding sparse subsequence $S_k$ using the cardinality of the $n$-th symmetric power of the set $\{1,2,\ldots, k\}$. For $k\in\{2,\dots,8\}$, we find…

In this paper we determined explicitly the multiplicative inverses of the Dobbertin and Welch APN exponents in Z_{2^n-1}, and we described the binary weights of the inverses of the Gold and Kasami exponents. We studied the function \de(n),…

We deduce an asymptotic formula with error term for the sum $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k \le x} f([n_1,\ldots, n_k])$, where $[n_1,\ldots, n_k]$ stands for the least common multiple of the positive integers $n_1,\ldots, n_k$ ($k\ge 2$) and $f$…

Gijswijt's sequence consists almost entirely of small positive integers. However, it is known that every positive integer eventually appears in the sequence. In this paper we determine its growth rate. Specifically, we prove that for…

Suppose $\Pi$ is an exchangeable random partition of the positive integers and $\Pi_n$ is its restriction to $\{1, ..., n\}$. Let $K_n$ denote the number of blocks of $\Pi_n$, and let $K_{n,r}$ denote the number of blocks of $\Pi_n$…

Given a finite irreducible Coxeter group $W$, a positive integer $d$, and types $T_1,T_2,...,T_d$ (in the sense of the classification of finite Coxeter groups), we compute the number of decompositions $c=\si_1\si_2 cdots\si_d$ of a Coxeter…

Let K_n denote the smaller mode of the nth row of Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n, k). Using a probablistic argument, it is shown that for all n>=2, [exp(w(n))]-2<=K_n<=[exp(w(n))]+1, where [x] denotes the integer part of x, and…

For all integers $n \geq k \geq 1$, define $H(n,k) := \sum 1 / (i_1 \cdots i_k)$, where the sum is extended over all positive integers $i_1 < \cdots < i_k \leq n$. These quantities are closely related to the Stirling numbers of the first…

The main result is the following Theorem: Let p=p(n) be such that p(n) in [0,1] for all n and either p(n)<< n^{-1} or for some positive integer k, n^{-1/k}<< p(n)<< n^{-1/(k+1)} or for all epsilon >0, n^{- epsilon}<< p(n) and n^{-…

This paper offers two elementary yet precise derivations of an exact formula \[ W(n) = \sum_{i=1} ^{n} \lceil \lg i \rceil = n \lceil \lg n \rceil - 2^{\lceil \lg n \rceil} + 1 \] for the maximum number $ W(n) $ of comparisons of keys…

A partition of a positive integer $n$ is a representation of $n$ as a sum of a finite number of positive integers (called parts). A trapezoidal number is a positive integer that has a partition whose parts are a decreasing sequence of…

Let f(x_1,x_2,...,x_m) = u_1x_1+u_2 x_2+... + u_mx_m be a linear form with positive integer coefficients, and let N_f(k) = min{|f(A)| : A \subseteq Z and |A|=k}. A minimizing k-set for f is a set A such that |A|=k and |f(A)| = N_f(k). A…

The famous van der Waerden theorem states that if partition N into finitely many cells then one of them will contain arbitrary length arithmetic progressions. It has a polynomial version also. In this article we will prove the near 0…

It is shown that for any positive integer k and positive parameter lambda less than 2/k(k+1), the Poisson distribution of order k with parameter lambda has a unique mode, 0. In addition, the Poisson distribution of order 2 has a unique…

We prove the following results solving a problem raised in [Y. Caro, R. Yuster, On zero-sum and almost zero-sum subgraphs over $\mathbb{Z}$, Graphs Combin. 32 (2016), 49--63]. For a positive integer $m\geq 2$, $m\neq 4$, there are…

The Smarandache function of a positive integer $n$, denoted by $S(n)$, is defined to be the smallest positive integer $j$ such that $n$ divides the factorial $j!$. In this note, we prove that for any fixed number $k > 1$, the inequality…
