Corrigendum to Theorem 5 of the paper "Asymptotic density of A ⊂ ℕ and density of the ratio set R(A) (Acta Arith. 87 (1998), 67-78)
Previous work on counting maximal independent sets for paths and certain 2-dimensional grids is extended in two directions: 3-dimensional grid graphs are included and, for some/any ℓ ∈ N, maximal distance-ℓ independent (or simply: maximal ℓ-independent) sets are counted for some grids. The transfer matrix method has been adapted and successfully applied
Hasse showed the existence and computed the Dirichlet density of the set of primes for which the order of is odd; it is . Here we mimic successfully Hasse’s method to compute the density of monic irreducibles in for which the order of is odd. But on the way, we are also led to a new and elementary proof of these densities. More observations are made, and averages are considered, in particular, an average of the ’s as varies through all rational primes.
In this paper we find certain equivalent formulations of Wall's question and derive two interesting criteria that can be used to resolve this question for particular primes.
