On products of singular elements
For p ≡ 1 (mod 4), we prove the formula (conjectured by R. Chapman) for the determinant of the (p+1)/2 × (p+1)/2 matrix with .
Let be a set of distinct positive integers and an integer. Denote the power GCD (resp. power LCM) matrix on having the -th power of the greatest common divisor (resp. the -th power of the least common multiple ) as the -entry of the matrix by (resp. . We call the set an odd gcd closed (resp. odd lcm closed) set if every element in is an odd number and (resp. ) for all . In studying the divisibility of the power LCM and power GCD matrices, Hong conjectured in 2004 that...
If f(x) and g(x) are relatively prime polynomials in ℤ[x] satisfying certain conditions arising from a theorem of Capelli and if n is an integer > N for some sufficiently large N, then the non-reciprocal part of f(x)xⁿ + g(x) is either identically ±1 or is irreducible over the rationals. This result follows from work of Schinzel in 1965. We show here that under the conditions that f(x) and g(x) are relatively prime 0,1-polynomials (so each coefficient is either 0 or 1) and f(0) = g(0) = 1, one...
