Infinite families of noncototients

A. Flammenkamp, F. Luca (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For any positive integer n let ϕ(n) be the Euler function of n. A positive integer n is called a noncototient if the equation x-ϕ(x)=n has no solution x. In this note, we give a sufficient condition on a positive integer k such that the geometrical progression ( 2 m k ) m 1 consists entirely of noncototients. We then use computations to detect seven such positive integers k.

Infinite rank of elliptic curves over a b

Bo-Hae Im, Michael Larsen (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

If E is an elliptic curve defined over a quadratic field K, and the j-invariant of E is not 0 or 1728, then E ( a b ) has infinite rank. If E is an elliptic curve in Legendre form, y² = x(x-1)(x-λ), where ℚ(λ) is a cubic field, then E ( K a b ) has infinite rank. If λ ∈ K has a minimal polynomial P(x) of degree 4 and v² = P(u) is an elliptic curve of positive rank over ℚ, we prove that y² = x(x-1)(x-λ) has infinite rank over K a b .

Influence of modeling structure in probabilistic sequential decision problems

Florent Teichteil-Königsbuch, Patrick Fabiani (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are a classical framework for stochastic sequential decision problems, based on an enumerated state space representation. More compact and structured representations have been proposed: factorization techniques use state variables representations, while decomposition techniques are based on a partition of the state space into sub-regions and take advantage of the resulting structure of the state transition graph. We use a family of probabilistic exploration-like...
