On the number of representations of a positive integer by certain quadratic forms

Ernest X. W. Xia (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For natural numbers a,b and positive integer n, let R(a,b;n) denote the number of representations of n in the form i = 1 a ( x ² i + x i y i + y ² i ) + 2 j = 1 b ( u ² j + u j v j + v ² j ) . Lomadze discovered a formula for R(6,0;n). Explicit formulas for R(1,5;n), R(2,4;n), R(3,3;n), R(4,2;n) and R(5,1;n) are determined in this paper by using the (p;k)-parametrization of theta functions due to Alaca, Alaca and Williams.

On the period length of some special continued fractions

R. A. Mollin, H. C. Williams (1992)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

We investigate and refine a device which we introduced in [3] for the study of continued fractions. This allows us to more easily compute the period lengths of certain continued fractions and it can be used to suggest some aspects of the cycle structure (see [1]) within the period of certain continued fractions related to underlying real quadratic fields.

On the quartic character of quadratic units

Zhi-Hong Sun (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

Let ℤ be the set of integers, and let (m,n) be the greatest common divisor of integers m and n. Let p be a prime of the form 4k+1 and p = c²+d² with c,d ∈ ℤ, d = 2 r d and c ≡ d₀ ≡ 1 (mod 4). In the paper we determine ( b + ( b ² + 4 α ) / 2 ) ( p - 1 ) / 4 ) ( m o d p ) for p = x²+(b²+4α)y² (b,x,y ∈ ℤ, 2∤b), and ( 2 a + 4 a ² + 1 ) ( p - 1 ) / 4 ( m o d p ) for p = x²+(4a²+1)y² (a,x,y∈ℤ) on the condition that (c,x+d) = 1 or (d₀,x+c) = 1. As applications we obtain the congruence for U ( p - 1 ) / 4 ( m o d p ) and the criterion for p | U ( p - 1 ) / 8 (if p ≡ 1 (mod 8)), where Uₙ is the Lucas sequence given by U₀ = 0, U₁ = 1 and U n + 1 = b U + U n - 1 ( n 1 ) , and b ≢...

On the quasi-periodic p -adic Ruban continued fractions

Basma Ammous, Nour Ben Mahmoud, Mohamed Hbaib (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study a family of quasi periodic p -adic Ruban continued fractions in the p -adic field p and we give a criterion of a quadratic or transcendental p -adic number which based on the p -adic version of the subspace theorem due to Schlickewei.
