Let α,β ∈ ℝ be fixed with α > 1, and suppose that α is irrational and of finite type. We show that there are infinitely many Carmichael numbers composed solely of primes from the non-homogeneous Beatty sequence . We conjecture that the same result holds true when α is an irrational number of infinite type.
In this paper some decompositions of Cauchy polynomials, Ferrers-Jackson polynomials and polynomials of the form x 2n + y 2n , n ∈ ℕ, are studied. These decompositions are used to generate the identities for powers of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers as well as for powers of the so called conjugate recurrence sequences. Also, some new identities for Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind are presented here.
We considered a Hankel transform evaluation of Narayana and shifted Narayana polynomials. Those polynomials arises from Narayana numbers and have many combinatorial properties. A mainly used tool for the evaluation is the method based on orthogonal polynomials. Furthermore, we provided a Hankel transform evaluation of the linear combination of two consecutive shifted Narayana polynomials, using the same method (based on orthogonal polynomials) and previously obtained moment representation of Narayana...
Let be an ergodic translation on the compact group and a continuity set, i.e. a subset with topological boundary of Haar measure 0. An infinite binary sequence defined by if and otherwise, is called a Hartman sequence. This paper studies the growth rate of , where denotes the number of binary words of length occurring in . The growth rate is always subexponential and this result is optimal. If is an ergodic translation
We found that there is a remarkable relationship between the triangular numbers and the astronomical clock (horologe) of Prague. We introduce Šindel sequences of natural numbers as those periodic sequences with period that satisfy the following condition: for any there exists such that . We shall see that this condition guarantees a functioning of the bellworks, which is controlled by the horologe. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a periodic sequence to be a Šindel sequence....
