Let $k\ge 2$ and let ${\left(P_n^{\left(k\right)}\right)}_{n\ge 2-k}$ be the $k$-generalized Pell sequence defined by $$P_n^{\left(k\right)}=2P_{n-1}^{\left(k\right)}+P_{n-2}^{\left(k\right)}+\cdots +P_{n-k}^{\left(k\right)}$$ for $n\ge 2$ with initial conditions $$P_{-(k-2)}^{\left(k\right)}=P_{-(k-3)}^{\left(k\right)}=\cdots =P_{-1}^{\left(k\right)}=P_0^{\left(k\right)}=0,P_1^{\left(k\right)}=1.$$ In this study, we handle the equation $P_n^{\left(k\right)}=y^m$ in positive integers $n$, $m$, $y$, $k$ such that $k,y\ge 2,$ and give an upper bound on $n.$ Also, we will show that the equation $P_n^{\left(k\right)}=y^m$ with $2\le y\le 1000$ has only one solution given by $P_7^{\left(2\right)}={13}^2.$

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

The seminal theorem of Cobham has given rise during the last 40 years to a lot of work about non-standard numeration systems and has been extended to many contexts. In this paper, as a result of fifteen years of improvements, we obtain a complete and general version for the so-called substitutive sequences. Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two multiplicatively independent Perron numbers. Then a sequence $x\in A^{\mathbb{N}}$, where $A$ is a finite alphabet, is both $\alpha$-substitutive and $\beta$-substitutive if and only if $x$ is ultimately...

Let $\left\{U_n\right\}=\left\{U_n(P,Q)\right\}$ and $\left\{V_n\right\}=\left\{V_n(P,Q)\right\}$ be the Lucas sequences of the first and second kind respectively at the parameters $P\ge 1$ and $Q\in \{-1,1\}$. In this paper, we provide a technique for characterizing the solutions of the so-called Bartz-Marlewski equation $$x^2-3xy+y^2+x=0,$$ where $(x,y)=(U_i,U_j)$ or $(V_i,V_j)$ with $i$, $j\ge 1$. Then, the procedure of this technique is applied to completely resolve this equation with certain values of such parameters.

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...
