On the least common multiple of Lucas subsequences

Shigeki Akiyama, Florian Luca (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We compare the growth of the least common multiple of the numbers u a 1 , . . . , u a n and | u a 1 u a n | , where ( u n ) n 0 is a Lucas sequence and ( a n ) n 0 is some sequence of positive integers.

On the length of the continued fraction for values of quotients of power sums

Pietro Corvaja, Umberto Zannier (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Generalizing a result of Pourchet, we show that, if α , β are power sums over satisfying suitable necessary assumptions, the length of the continued fraction for α ( n ) / β ( n ) tends to infinity as n . This will be derived from a uniform Thue-type inequality for the rational approximations to the rational numbers α ( n ) / β ( n ) , n .

On the number of binary signed digit representations of a given weight

Jiří Tůma, Jiří Vábek (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Binary signed digit representations (BSDR’s) of integers have been studied since the 1950’s. Their study was originally motivated by multiplication and division algorithms for integers and later by arithmetics on elliptic curves. Our paper is motivated by differential cryptanalysis of hash functions. We give an upper bound for the number of BSDR’s of a given weight. Our result improves the upper bound on the number of BSDR’s with minimal weight stated by Grabner and Heuberger in On the number of...
