On integers not of the form n - φ (n)

J. Browkin, A. Schinzel (1995)

Colloquium Mathematicae

W. Sierpiński asked in 1959 (see [4], pp. 200-201, cf. [2]) whether there exist infinitely many positive integers not of the form n - φ(n), where φ is the Euler function. We answer this question in the affirmative by proving Theorem. None of the numbers 2 k · 509203 (k = 1, 2,...) is of the form n - φ(n).

On iteration digraph and zero-divisor graph of the ring n

Tengxia Ju, Meiyun Wu (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In the first part, we assign to each positive integer n a digraph Γ ( n , 5 ) , whose set of vertices consists of elements of the ring n = { 0 , 1 , , n - 1 } with the addition and the multiplication operations modulo n , and for which there is a directed edge from a to b if and only if a 5 b ( mod n ) . Associated with Γ ( n , 5 ) are two disjoint subdigraphs: Γ 1 ( n , 5 ) and Γ 2 ( n , 5 ) whose union is Γ ( n , 5 ) . The vertices of Γ 1 ( n , 5 ) are coprime to n , and the vertices of Γ 2 ( n , 5 ) are not coprime to n . In this part, we study the structure of Γ ( n , 5 ) in detail. In the second part, we investigate the zero-divisor...

On linear normal lattices configurations

Mordechay B. Levin, Meir Smorodinsky (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this paper we extend Champernowne’s construction of normal numbers in base b to the d case and obtain an explicit construction of the generic point of the d shift transformation of the set { 0 , 1 , . . . , b - 1 } d . We prove that the intersection of the considered lattice configuration with an arbitrary line is a normal sequence in base b .

On multiplicatively dependent linear numeration systems, and periodic points

Christiane Frougny (2002)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Two linear numeration systems, with characteristic polynomial equal to the minimal polynomial of two Pisot numbers β and γ respectively, such that β and γ are multiplicatively dependent, are considered. It is shown that the conversion between one system and the other one is computable by a finite automaton. We also define a sequence of integers which is equal to the number of periodic points of a sofic dynamical system associated with some Parry number.

On near-perfect and deficient-perfect numbers

Min Tang, Xiao-Zhi Ren, Meng Li (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For a positive integer n, let σ(n) denote the sum of the positive divisors of n. Let d be a proper divisor of n. We call n a near-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n + d, and a deficient-perfect number if σ(n) = 2n - d. We show that there is no odd near-perfect number with three distinct prime divisors and determine all deficient-perfect numbers with at most two distinct prime factors.
