On the non-quadraticity of values of the q-exponential function and related q-series
1. Introduction. The aim of this paper is to supply a still better result for the problem considered in [2]. Let A(x) denote the number of distinct abelian groups (up to isomorphism) of orders not exceeding x. We shall prove Theorem 1. For any ε > 0, , where C₁, C₂ and C₃ are constants given on page 261 of [2]. Note that 50/199=0.25125..., thus improving our previous exponent 40/159=0.25157... obtained in [2]. To prove Theorem 1, we shall proceed along the line of approach presented in [2]....
Binary signed digit representations (BSDR’s) of integers have been studied since the 1950’s. Their study was originally motivated by multiplication and division algorithms for integers and later by arithmetics on elliptic curves. Our paper is motivated by differential cryptanalysis of hash functions. We give an upper bound for the number of BSDR’s of a given weight. Our result improves the upper bound on the number of BSDR’s with minimal weight stated by Grabner and Heuberger in On the number of...
Elliptic curves with CM unveil a new phenomenon in the theory of large algebraic fields. Rather than drawing a line between and or and they give an example where the line goes beween and and another one where the line goes between and .
