Let u(n) be the n-th term of a Lucas sequence or a Lehmer sequence.In this article we shall establish an estimate from below for the greatest prime factor of u(n) which is of the form nexp(logn/104loglogn). In so doing we are able to…

We determine all integers $n$ such that $n^2$ has at most three base-$q$ digits for $q \in \{2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 16 \}$. More generally, we show that all solutions to equations of the shape $$ Y^2 = t^2 + M \cdot q^m + N \cdot q^n, $$ where $q$…

The goal of this paper is twofold: (1) extend theory on certain statistics in the Fibonacci and Lucas sequences modulo $m$ to the Lucas sequences $U := \left(U_n(p,q)\right)_{n \geq 0}$ and $V := \left(V_n(p,q)\right)_{n \geq 0}$, and (2)…

Let $ \{L_n\}_{n\geq 0} $ be the sequence of Lucas numbers. In this paper, we determine all Lucas numbers that are palindromic concatenations of two distinct repdigits.

A sequence of positive integers is complete if every positive integer is a sum of distinct terms. A positive linear recurrence sequence (PLRS) is a sequence defined by a homogeneous linear recurrence relation with nonnegative coefficients…

For any sequences $\mathbf{u}=\{u(n)\}_{n\geq0}, \mathbf{v}=\{v(n)\}_{n\geq0},$ we define $\mathbf{u}\mathbf{v}:=\{u(n)v(n)\}_{n\geq0}$ and $\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}:=\{u(n)+v(n)\}_{n\geq0}$. Let $f_i(x)~(0\leq i< k)$ be sequence polynomials…

A cubic (resp. biquadratic) theta series is a power series whose n-th coefficient is equal to 1 if n is a perfect cube (resp. fourth power) and zero otherwise. We improve on a result of Bradshaw by showing that such series is not a cubic…

While quantum computing provides an exponential advantage in solving system of linear equations, there is little work to solve system of nonlinear equations with quantum computing. We propose quantum Newton's method (QNM) for solving…

A well-known conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many primes $p$ for which $p - 1$ is a perfect square. We obtain upper and lower bounds of matching order on the number of pairs of distinct primes $p,q \le x$ for which $(p - 1)(q -…

The Gauss--Lucas theorem states that any convex set $K\subset\mathbb{C}$ which contains all $n$ zeros of a degree $n$ polynomial $p\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ must also contain all $n-1$ critical points of $p$. In this paper we explore the following…

Let $L$ be an order-$n$ Latin square. For $X, Y, Z \subseteq \{1, ... ,n\}$, let $L(X, Y. Z)$ be the number of triples $i\in X, j\in Y, k\in Z$ such that $L(i,j) = k$. We conjecture that asymptotically almost every Latin square satisfies…

We call positive integer n a near-perfect number, if it is sum of all its proper divisors, except of one of them ("redundant divisor"). We prove an Euclid-like theorem for near-perfect numbers and obtain some other results for them.

In this paper we consider divisibility sequences obtained from square matrices. We work with of matrix divisibility sequences associated to a semigroup and arising from endomorphisms of an affine space. We prove that determinant…

In this paper, we confirm several conjectured congruences of Sun concerning the divisibility of binomial sums. For example, with help of a quadratic hypergeometric transformation, we prove that $$…

Let $C$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$ by the equation $y^2=x^3+Ax+B$ where $A,B\in\mathbb Q$. A sequence of rational points $(x_i,y_i)\in C(\mathbb Q),\,i=1,2,\ldots,$ is said to form a sequence of consecutive squares on $C$…

We examine sequences of dense packings of n congruent non-overlapping disks inside a square which follow specific patterns as n increases along certain values, n = n(1), n(2),... n(k),.... Extending and improving previous work of Nurmela…

In this paper, we present a method for estimating the least common multiple of a large class of binary linear recurrence sequences. Let $P,Q,R_0$, and $R_1$ be fixed integers and let $\boldsymbol{R}=\left(R_n\right)_{n}$ be the recurrence…

In this paper, we define Tribonacci and Tribonacci-Lucas matrix sequences and investigate their properties.

For every complex number $x$, let $\Vert x\Vert_{\mathbb{Z}}:=\min\{|x-m|:\ m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $K$ be a number field, let $k\in\mathbb{N}$, and let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be non-zero algebraic numbers. In this paper, we completely…

We show how to obtain linear combinations of polynomials in an orthogonal sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, such as $Q_{n,k}(x)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k a_{n,i}P_{n-i}(x)$, $a_{n,0}a_{n,k}\neq0$, that characterize quasi-orthogonal polynomials of…
