On a certain class of arithmetic functions

Antonio M. Oller-Marcén (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A homothetic arithmetic function of ratio $K$ is a function $f : ℕ \to R$ such that $f (K n) = f (n)$ for every $n \in ℕ$ . Periodic arithmetic funtions are always homothetic, while the converse is not true in general. In this paper we study homothetic and periodic arithmetic functions. In particular we give an upper bound for the number of elements of $f (ℕ)$ in terms of the period and the ratio of $f$ .

On generalized square-full numbers in an arithmetic progression

Angkana Sripayap, Pattira Ruengsinsub, Teerapat Srichan (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $a$ and $b \in ℕ$ . Denote by $R_{a, b}$ the set of all integers $n > 1$ whose canonical prime representation $n = p_{1}^{α_{1}} p_{2}^{α_{2}} \dots p_{r}^{α_{r}}$ has all exponents $α_{i}$ $(1 \leq i \leq r)$ being a multiple of $a$ or belonging to the arithmetic progression $a t + b$ , $t \in ℕ_{0} : = ℕ \cup {0}$ . All integers in $R_{a, b}$ are called generalized square-full integers. Using the exponent pair method, an upper bound for character sums over generalized square-full integers is derived. An application on the distribution of generalized square-full integers in an arithmetic progression is given. ...

Numerical characterization of nef arithmetic divisors on arithmetic surfaces

Atsushi Moriwaki (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In this paper, we give a numerical characterization of nef arithmetic $ℝ$ -Cartier divisors of $C^{0}$ -type on an arithmetic surface. Namely an arithmetic $ℝ$ -Cartier divisor $\bar{D}$ of $C^{0}$ -type is nef if and only if $\bar{D}$ is pseudo-effective and $\hat{\deg} ({\bar{D}}^{2}) = \hat{vol} (\bar{D})$ .

Generalizations of Milne’s $U (n + 1)$ $q$ -Chu-Vandermonde summation

Jian-Ping Fang (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We derive two identities for multiple basic hyper-geometric series associated with the unitary $U (n + 1)$ group. In order to get the two identities, we first present two known $q$ -exponential operator identities which were established in our earlier paper. From the two identities and combining them with the two $U (n + 1)$ $q$ -Chu-Vandermonde summations established by Milne, we arrive at our results. Using the identities obtained in this paper, we give two interesting identities involving binomial...

On the least almost-prime in arithmetic progressions

Liuying Wu (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $𝒫_{2}$ denote a positive integer with at most $2$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. For integers $a$ , $q$ such that $(a, q) = 1$ , let $𝒫_{2} (q, a)$ denote the least $𝒫_{2}$ in the arithmetic progression ${n q + a}_{n = 1}^{\infty}$ . It is proved that for sufficiently large $q$ , we have $𝒫_{2} (q, a) ≪ q^{1.825} .$ This result constitutes an improvement upon that of J. Li, M. Zhang and Y. Cai (2023), who obtained $𝒫_{2} (q, a) ≪ q^{1.8345} .$

A structure theorem for sets of small popular doubling

Przemysław Mazur (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We prove that every set A ⊂ ℤ satisfying $\sum_{x} m i n (1_{A} * 1_{A} (x), t) \leq (2 + δ) t | A |$ for t and δ in suitable ranges must be very close to an arithmetic progression. We use this result to improve the estimates of Green and Morris for the probability that a random subset A ⊂ ℕ satisfies |ℕ∖(A+A)| ≥ k; specifically, we show that $ℙ (| ℕ ∖ (A + A) | \geq k) = Θ (2^{- k / 2})$ .

On a generalization of the Pell sequence

Jhon J. Bravo, Jose L. Herrera, Florian Luca (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The Pell sequence ${(P_{n})}_{n = 0}^{\infty}$ is the second order linear recurrence defined by $P_{n} = 2 P_{n - 1} + P_{n - 2}$ with initial conditions $P_{0} = 0$ and $P_{1} = 1$ . In this paper, we investigate a generalization of the Pell sequence called the $k$ -generalized Pell sequence which is generated by a recurrence relation of a higher order. We present recurrence relations, the generalized Binet formula and different arithmetic properties for the above family of sequences. Some interesting identities involving the Fibonacci and generalized Pell numbers...

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We use the estimation of the number of integers $n$ such that $⌊ n^{c} ⌋$ belongs to an arithmetic progression to study the coprimality of integers in $ℕ^{c} = {⌊ n^{c} ⌋}_{n \in ℕ}$ , $c > 1$ , $c \notin ℕ$ .

A problem of Rankin on sets without geometric progressions

Melvyn B. Nathanson, Kevin O'Bryant (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

A geometric progression of length k and integer ratio is a set of numbers of the form $a, a r, . . ., a r^{k - 1}$ for some positive real number a and integer r ≥ 2. For each integer k ≥ 3, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a strictly decreasing sequence ${(a_{i})}_{i = 1}^{\infty}$ of positive real numbers with a₁ = 1 such that the set $G^{(k)} = ⋃_{i = 1}^{\infty} (a_{2 i}, a_{2 i - 1}]$ contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. Moreover, $G^{(k)}$ is a maximal subset of (0,1] that contains no geometric progression of length k and integer ratio. It is also proved that...

Some identities involving differences of products of generalized Fibonacci numbers

Curtis Cooper (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Melham discovered the Fibonacci identity $F_{n + 1} F_{n + 2} F_{n + 6} - F ³_{n + 3} = (- 1) ⁿ F ₙ$ . He then considered the generalized sequence Wₙ where W₀ = a, W₁ = b, and $W ₙ = p W_{n - 1} + q W_{n - 2}$ and a, b, p and q are integers and q ≠ 0. Letting e = pab - qa² - b², he proved the following identity: $W_{n + 1} W_{n + 2} W_{n + 6} - W ³_{n + 3} = e q^{n + 1} (p ³ W_{n + 2} - q ² W_{n + 1})$ . There are similar differences of products of Fibonacci numbers, like this one discovered by Fairgrieve and Gould: $F ₙ F_{n + 4} F_{n + 5} - F ³_{n + 3} = {(- 1)}^{n + 1} F_{n + 6}$ . We prove similar identities. For example, a generalization of Fairgrieve and Gould’s identity is $W ₙ W_{n + 4} W_{n + 5} - W ³_{n + 3} = e q ⁿ (p ³ W_{n + 4} - q W_{n + 5})$ .

On arithmetic progressions on Edwards curves

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Let $m \in ℤ_{> 0}$ and a,q ∈ ℚ. Denote by $_{m} (a, q)$ the set of rational numbers d such that a, a + q, ..., a + (m-1)q form an arithmetic progression in the Edwards curve $E_{d} : x ² + y ² = 1 + d x ² y ²$ . We study the set $_{m} (a, q)$ and we parametrize it by the rational points of an algebraic curve.

Generalized weighted quasi-arithmetic means and the Kolmogorov-Nagumo theorem

Janusz Matkowski (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

A generalization of the weighted quasi-arithmetic mean generated by continuous and increasing (decreasing) functions $f ₁, . . ., f_{k} : I \to ℝ$ , k ≥ 2, denoted by $A^{[f ₁, . . ., f_{k}]}$ , is considered. Some properties of $A^{[f ₁, . . ., f_{k}]}$ , including “associativity” assumed in the Kolmogorov-Nagumo theorem, are shown. Convex and affine functions involving this type of means are considered. Invariance of a quasi-arithmetic mean with respect to a special mean-type mapping built of generalized means is applied in solving a functional equation. For...

The Golomb space is topologically rigid

Taras O. Banakh, Dario Spirito, Sławomir Turek (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The Golomb space $ℕ_{τ}$ is the set $ℕ$ of positive integers endowed with the topology $τ$ generated by the base consisting of arithmetic progressions ${a + b n : n \geq 0}$ with coprime $a, b$ . We prove that the Golomb space $ℕ_{τ}$ is topologically rigid in the sense that its homeomorphism group is trivial. This resolves a problem posed by T. Banakh at Mathoverflow in 2017.
