On the representation of integers as sums of triangular numbers.
1. Introduction. The Waring problem for polynomial cubes over a finite field F of characteristic 2 consists in finding the minimal integer m ≥ 0 such that every sum of cubes in F[t] is a sum of m cubes. It is known that for F distinct from ₂, ₄, , each polynomial in F[t] is a sum of three cubes of polynomials (see [3]). If a polynomial P ∈ F[t] is a sum of n cubes of polynomials in F[t] such that each cube A³ appearing in the decomposition has degree < deg(P)+3, we say that P is a restricted...
One of the oldest problems in analytic number theory consists of counting points with integer coordinates in the d-dimensional ball. It is very easy to find a main term for the counting function, but the size of the error term is difficult to estimate (...).
It can be shown that the positive integers representable as the sum of two squares and one power of k (k any fixed integer ≥ 2) have positive density, from which it follows that those integers representable as the sum of two squares and (at most) two powers of k also have positive density. The purpose of this paper is to show that there is an infinity of positive integers not representable as the sum of two squares and two (or fewer) powers of k, k again any fixed integer ≥ 2.
Romanoff (1934) showed that integers that are the sum of a prime and a power of 2 have positive lower asymptotic density in the positive integers. We adapt his method by showing more generally the existence of a positive lower asymptotic density for integers that are the sum of a prime and a term of a given nonconstant nondegenerate integral linear recurrence with separable characteristic polynomial.
For and any sufficiently large odd we show that for almost all there exists a representation with primes mod for almost all admissible triplets of reduced residues mod .
Let be a sufficiently large integer. We prove that almost all sufficiently large even integers can be represented as where with .
