Proof of a conjectured three-valued family of Weil sums of binomials

Daniel J. Katz, Philippe Langevin (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We consider Weil sums of binomials of the form W F , d ( a ) = x F ψ ( x d - a x ) , where F is a finite field, ψ: F → ℂ is the canonical additive character, g c d ( d , | F × | ) = 1 , and a F × . If we fix F and d, and examine the values of W F , d ( a ) as a runs through F × , we always obtain at least three distinct values unless d is degenerate (a power of the characteristic of F modulo | F × | ). Choices of F and d for which we obtain only three values are quite rare and desirable in a wide variety of applications. We show that if F is a field of order 3ⁿ with n...

On the k -polygonal numbers and the mean value of Dedekind sums

Jing Guo, Xiaoxue Li (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For any positive integer k 3 , it is easy to prove that the k -polygonal numbers are a n ( k ) = ( 2 n + n ( n - 1 ) ( k - 2 ) ) / 2 . The main purpose of this paper is, using the properties of Gauss sums and Dedekind sums, the mean square value theorem of Dirichlet L -functions and the analytic methods, to study the computational problem of one kind mean value of Dedekind sums S ( a n ( k ) a ¯ m ( k ) , p ) for k -polygonal numbers with 1 m , n p - 1 , and give an interesting computational formula for it.

Waring's number for large subgroups of ℤ*ₚ*

Todd Cochrane, Derrick Hart, Christopher Pinner, Craig Spencer (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let p be a prime, ℤₚ be the finite field in p elements, k be a positive integer, and A be the multiplicative subgroup of nonzero kth powers in ℤₚ. The goal of this paper is to determine, for a given positive integer s, a value tₛ such that if |A| ≫ tₛ then every element of ℤₚ is a sum of s kth powers. We obtain t = p 22 / 39 + ϵ , t = p 15 / 29 + ϵ and for s ≥ 6, t = p ( 9 s + 45 ) / ( 29 s + 33 ) + ϵ . For s ≥ 24 further improvements are made, such as t 32 = p 5 / 16 + ϵ and t 128 = p 1 / 4 .

On the distribution of consecutive square-free primitive roots modulo p

Huaning Liu, Hui Dong (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A positive integer n is called a square-free number if it is not divisible by a perfect square except 1 . Let p be an odd prime. For n with ( n , p ) = 1 , the smallest positive integer f such that n f 1 ( mod p ) is called the exponent of n modulo p . If the exponent of n modulo p is p - 1 , then n is called a primitive root mod p . Let A ( n ) be the characteristic function of the square-free primitive roots modulo p . In this paper we study the distribution n x A ( n ) A ( n + 1 ) , and give an asymptotic formula by using properties of character...

On sums and products in a field

Guang-Liang Zhou, Zhi-Wei Sun (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study sums and products in a field. Let F be a field with ch ( F ) 2 , where ch ( F ) is the characteristic of F . For any integer k 4 , we show that any x F can be written as a 1 + + a k with a 1 , , a k F and a 1 a k = 1 , and that for any α F { 0 } we can write every x F as a 1 a k with a 1 , , a k F and a 1 + + a k = α . We also prove that for any x F and k { 2 , 3 , } there are a 1 , , a 2 k F such that a 1 + + a 2 k = x = a 1 a 2 k .

A pure smoothness condition for Radó’s theorem for α -analytic functions

Abtin Daghighi, Frank Wikström (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let Ω n be a bounded, simply connected -convex domain. Let α + n and let f be a function on Ω which is separately C 2 α j - 1 -smooth with respect to z j (by which we mean jointly C 2 α j - 1 -smooth with respect to Re z j , Im z j ). If f is α -analytic on Ω f - 1 ( 0 ) , then f is α -analytic on Ω . The result is well-known for the case α i = 1 , 1 i n , even when f a priori is only known to be continuous.

On the r -free values of the polynomial x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k

Gongrui Chen, Wenxiao Wang (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let k be a fixed integer. We study the asymptotic formula of R ( H , r , k ) , which is the number of positive integer solutions 1 x , y , z H such that the polynomial x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + k is r -free. We obtained the asymptotic formula of R ( H , r , k ) for all r 2 . Our result is new even in the case r = 2 . We proved that R ( H , 2 , k ) = c k H 3 + O ( H 9 / 4 + ε ) , where c k > 0 is a constant depending on k . This improves upon the error term O ( H 7 / 3 + ε ) obtained by G.-L. Zhou, Y. Ding (2022).

Repdigits in the base b as sums of four balancing numbers

Refik Keskin, Faticko Erduvan (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The sequence of balancing numbers ( B n ) is defined by the recurrence relation B n = 6 B n - 1 - B n - 2 for n 2 with initial conditions B 0 = 0 and B 1 = 1 . B n is called the n th balancing number. In this paper, we find all repdigits in the base b , which are sums of four balancing numbers. As a result of our theorem, we state that if B n is repdigit in the base b and has at least two digits, then ( n , b ) = ( 2 , 5 ) , ( 3 , 6 ) . Namely, B 2 = 6 = ( 11 ) 5 and B 3 = 35 = ( 55 ) 6 .
