We consider a sequence $\{f(p)\}_{p\ {\rm prime}}$ of independent random variables taking values $\pm 1$ with probability $1/2$, and extend $f$ to a multiplicative arithmetic function defined on the squarefree integers. We investigate upper…

The initial-values problem of the following nonlinear autonomous recursion of order p , z (s + p) = c product of [z (s + l)]^a_l ; with p an arbitrary positive integer, z (s) the dependent variable (possibly a complex number), s the…

We present a natural, combinatorial problem whose solution is given by the meta-Fibonacci recurrence relation $a(n) = \sum_{i=1}^p a(n-i+1 - a(n-i))$, where $p$ is prime. This combinatorial problem is less general than those given in [3]…

This research explores the sum of divisors - $\sigma(n)$ - and the abundancy index given by the function $\frac{\sigma(n)}{n}$. We give a generalization of amicable pairs - feebly amicable pairs (also known as harmonious pairs), that is…

Much is known about binomial coefficients where primes are concerned, but considerably less is known regarding prime powers and composites. This paper provides two conjectures in these directions, one about counting binomial coefficients…

Let $m$ and $n>0$ be integers. Suppose that $p$ is a prime dividing $m-4$ but not dividing $m$. We show that $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ and $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k}(-1)^k\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ are at…

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…

A survey paper on some recent results on additive problems with prime powers.

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers, and let $(m,n)$ be the greatest common divisor of integers $m$ and $n$. Let $p\equiv 1\mod 4$ be a prime, $q\in\Bbb Z$, $2\nmid q$ and $p=c^2+d^2=x^2+qy^2$ with $c,d,x,y\in\Bbb Z$ and $c\e 1\mod 4$.…

We prove that it is always possible to find a permutation $p$ on the set $\{1,...,n\}$ such that $c+p(c)$ is prime for all $c \in \{1,...,n\}.$

We consider a variant of the ABC Conjecture, attempting to count the number of solutions to $A+B+C=0$, in relatively prime integers $A,B,C$ each of absolute value less than $N$ with $r(A)<|A|^a, r(B)<|B|^b, r(C)<|C|^c.$ The ABC Conjecture…

Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

Let $B(m, n)$ be the number of ways to colour a $2m \times 2n$ grid in black and white so that, in each row and each column, half of the cells are white and half are black. Bhattacharya conjectured that the exponent of $2$ in the prime…

In this note, we use integral binary cubic forms to study the rational cube sum problem. We prove (unconditionally) that for any positive integer $d$, infinitely many primes in each of the residue classes $ 1 \pmod {9d}$ as well as $ -1…

This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…

It is an open problem whether $ \binom{2n}{n} $ is divisible by 4 or 9 for all $n>256$. In connection with this, we prove that for a fixed uneven $m$ the asymptotic density of $k$'s such that $ m \nmid \binom{2^{k+1}}{2^{k}} $ is 0. To do…

Let $k\in\N_{\geq 2}$ and for given $m\in\Z\setminus\{0\}$ consider the sequence $(S_{k,m}(n))_{n\in\N}$ defined by the power series expansion $$…

We study the factorization of the numbers $N = X^2+c$, where $c$ is a fixed constant, and this independently of the value of gcd$(X,c)$. We prove the existence of a family of sequences with arithmetic difference $(U_n, Z_n)$ generating…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…
