On a decomposition of polynomials in several variables

Andrzej Schinzel (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

One considers representation of a polynomial in several variables as the sum of values of univariate polynomials taken at linear combinations of the variables.

On some universal sums of generalized polygonal numbers

Fan Ge, Zhi-Wei Sun (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For m = 3,4,... those pₘ(x) = (m-2)x(x-1)/2 + x with x ∈ ℤ are called generalized m-gonal numbers. Sun (2015) studied for what values of positive integers a,b,c the sum ap₅ + bp₅ + cp₅ is universal over ℤ (i.e., any n ∈ ℕ = 0,1,2,... has the form ap₅(x) + bp₅(y) + cp₅(z) with x,y,z ∈ ℤ). We prove that p₅ + bp₅ + 3p₅ (b = 1,2,3,4,9) and p₅ + 2p₅ + 6p₅ are universal over ℤ, as conjectured by Sun. Sun also conjectured that any n ∈ ℕ can be written as p ( x ) + p ( y ) + p 11 ( z ) and 3p₃(x) + p₅(y) + p₇(z) with x,y,z ∈ ℕ; in...

On sums and products in a field

Guang-Liang Zhou, Zhi-Wei Sun (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study sums and products in a field. Let F be a field with ch ( F ) 2 , where ch ( F ) is the characteristic of F . For any integer k 4 , we show that any x F can be written as a 1 + + a k with a 1 , , a k F and a 1 a k = 1 , and that for any α F { 0 } we can write every x F as a 1 a k with a 1 , , a k F and a 1 + + a k = α . We also prove that for any x F and k { 2 , 3 , } there are a 1 , , a 2 k F such that a 1 + + a 2 k = x = a 1 a 2 k .
