A nonlinear generalization of convergence sets of formal power series, in the sense of Abhyankar-Moh [J. Reine Angew. Math. 241 (1970)], is introduced. Given a family $y={\phi }_s(t,x)=sb₁\left(x\right)t+b₂\left(x\right)t²+\cdots$ of analytic curves in ℂ × ℂⁿ passing through the origin, $Con{v}_{\phi }\left(f\right)$ of a formal power series f(y,t,x) ∈ ℂ[[y,t,x]] is defined to be the set of all s ∈ ℂ for which the power series $f({\phi }_s(t,x),t,x)$ converges as a series in (t,x). We prove that for a subset E ⊂ ℂ there exists a divergent formal power series f(y,t,x) ∈ ℂ[[y,t,x]] such that $E=Con{v}_{\phi }\left(f\right)$ if...

Let ${}_q$ be a finite field and $A\left(Y\right){\in }_q(X,Y)$. The aim of this paper is to prove that the length of the continued fraction expansion of $A\left(P\right);P{\in }_q\left[X\right]$, is bounded.

It is well known that, in forward inference in fuzzy logic, the generalized modus ponens is guaranteed by a functional inequality called the law of $T$-conditionality. In this paper, the $T$-conditionality for $T$-power based implications is deeply studied and the concise necessary and sufficient conditions for a power based implication $I^T$ being $T$-conditional are obtained. Moreover, the sufficient conditions under which a power based implication $I^T$ is $T^{*}$-conditional are discussed, this discussions...

We consider the behavior of the power series ${}_0\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }{\mu }^2\left(n\right)z^n$ as z tends to $e\left(\beta \right)=e^{2\pi i\beta }$ along a radius of the unit circle. If β is irrational with irrationality exponent 2 then ${}_0\left(e\left(\beta \right)r\right)=O\left({(1-r)}^{-1/2-\epsilon }\right)$. Also we consider the cases of higher irrationality exponent. We prove that for each δ there exist irrational numbers β such that ${}_0\left(e\left(\beta \right)r\right)=\Omega \left({(1-r)}^{-1+\delta }\right)$.

We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg [20] and Deligne [14] stating that the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain that for every prime $p$ the reduction modulo $p$ of the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series $f$ with integer coefficients is an algebraic power series of degree at most $p^A$ and height at most $A{p}^A$, where $A$ is an effective constant that only...

In this paper, we find all Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers written in the form $-2^a-3^b+5^c$, in nonnegative integers $a$, $b$, $c$, with $0\le max\{a,b\}\le c$.

Let ${fₙ}_{n\ge 1}$ be an infinite iterated function system on [0,1] satisfying the open set condition with the open set (0,1) and let Λ be its attractor. Then to any x ∈ Λ (except at most countably many points) corresponds a unique sequence ${aₙ\left(x\right)}_{n\ge 1}$ of integers, called the digit sequence of x, such that $x=li{m}_{n\to \infty }{f}_{a₁\left(x\right)}\circ \cdots \circ f_{aₙ\left(x\right)}\left(1\right)$. We investigate the growth speed of the digits in a general infinite iterated function system. More precisely, we determine the dimension of the set $x\in \Lambda :aₙ\left(x\right)\in B\left(\forall n\ge 1\right),li{m}_{n\to \infty }aₙ\left(x\right)=\infty$ for any infinite subset B ⊂ ℕ, a question posed by...

In this note, we prove that there is no transcendental entire function $f\left(z\right)\in \mathbb{Q}\left[\right[z\left]\right]$ such that $f\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)\subseteq \mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathrm{den}f(p/q)=F\left(q\right)$, for all sufficiently large $q$, where $F\left(z\right)\in \mathbb{Z}\left[z\right]$.

Let ${\beta \left(n\right)}_{n=0}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of positive numbers and 1 ≤ p < ∞. We consider the space ${\ell }^p\left(\beta \right)$ of all power series $f\left(z\right)={\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }f̂\left(n\right)zⁿ$ such that ${\sum }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\left|f̂\left(n\right)\right|}^p{\left|\beta \left(n\right)\right|}^p<\infty$. We give some sufficient conditions for the multiplication operator, $M_z$, to be unicellular on the Banach space ${\ell }^p\left(\beta \right)$. This generalizes the main results obtained by Lu Fang [1].

Let $\alpha \&gt;1$ be irrational. Several authors studied the numbers $${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)=inf\left\{\right|y|:y\in {\Lambda }_m,y\ne 0\},$$ where $m$ is a positive integer and ${\Lambda }_m$ denotes the set of all real numbers of the form $y={ϵ}_0{\alpha }^n+{ϵ}_1{\alpha }^{n-1}+\cdots +{ϵ}_{n-1}\alpha +{ϵ}_n$ with restricted integer coefficients $|{ϵ}_i|\le m$. The value of ${\ell }^1\left(\alpha \right)$ was determined for many particular Pisot numbers and ${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)$ for the golden number. In this paper the value of ${\ell }^m\left(\alpha \right)$ is determined for irrational numbers $\alpha$, satisfying ${\alpha }^2=a\alpha \pm 1$ with a positive integer $a$.

Let $j\ge 2$ be a given integer. Let $H_k^{*}$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\ge 2$ for the full modulo group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. For $f\in H_k^{*}$, denote by ${\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)$ the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficient of $j$th symmetric power $L$-function ($L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$) attached to $f$. We are interested in the average behaviour of the sum $$\sum _{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{n=a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x}{(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2\left(n\right),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, which improves the recent work of A. Sharma and A. Sankaranarayanan (2023).

We investigate the average behavior of the $n$th normalized Fourier coefficients of the $j$th ($j\ge 2$ be any fixed integer) symmetric power $L$-function (i.e., $L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f)$), attached to a primitive holomorphic cusp form $f$ of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ over certain sequences of positive integers. Precisely, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term for the sum $$S_j^{*}:=\sum _{a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2\le x(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5,a_6)\in {\mathbb{Z}}^6}{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}^2(a_1^2+a_2^2+a_3^2+a_4^2+a_5^2+a_6^2),$$ where $x$ is sufficiently large, and $$L(s,{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f):=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{{\lambda }_{{\mathrm{sym}}^{j}f}\left(n\right)}{n^s}.$$ When $j=2$, the error term which we obtain improves the earlier known result.

For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and p ≥ 1 let ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ be the largest possible value of k for which there is a polynomial P ≢ 0 of the form $P\left(x\right)={\sum }_{j=0}^n{a}_j{x}^j$, $|a_0\left|\ge L\right({\sum }_{j=1}^n|a_j{{|}^p)}^{1/p}$, $a_j\in ℂ$, such that ${(x-1)}^k$ divides P(x). For n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and q ≥ 1 let ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ be the smallest value of k for which there is a polynomial Q of degree k with complex coefficients such that $\left|Q\left(0\right)\right|>1/L({\sum }_{j=1}^n{\left|Q\left(j\right)\right|}^q{)}^{1/q}$. We find the size of ${\kappa }_p(n,L)$ and ${\mu }_q(n,L)$ for all n ∈ ℕ, L > 0, and 1 ≤ p,q ≤ ∞. The result about ${\mu }_{\infty }(n,L)$ is due to Coppersmith and Rivlin, but our proof is completely different and much shorter even...

Let (ₙ)ₙ be a quasianalytic differentiable system. Let m ∈ ℕ. We consider the following problem: let $f{\in }_m$ and f̂ be its Taylor series at $0\in {ℝ}^m$. Split the set ${\mathbb{N}}^m$ of exponents into two disjoint subsets A and B, ${\mathbb{N}}^m=A\cup B$, and decompose the formal series f̂ into the sum of two formal series G and H, supported by A and B, respectively. Do there exist $g,h{\in }_m$ with Taylor series at zero G and H, respectively? The main result of this paper is the following: if we have a positive answer to the above problem for some...

For an integer $k\ge 2$, let ${\left(n\right)}_n$ be the $k-$generalized Pell sequence which starts with $0,...,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is given by the linear recurrence $n=2n-1+n-2+\cdots +n-k$. In this paper, we find all $k$-generalized Pell numbers with only one distinct digit (the so-called repdigits). Some interesting estimations involving generalized Pell numbers, that we believe are of independent interest, are also deduced. This paper continues a previous work that searched for repdigits in the usual Pell sequence ${\left(P_n^{\left(2\right)}\right)}_n$. ...
