Primitive divisors of Lucas and Lehmer sequences, II

Paul M. Voutier (1996)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let α and β are conjugate complex algebraic integers which generate Lucas or Lehmer sequences. We present an algorithm to search for elements of such sequences which have no primitive divisors. We use this algorithm to prove that for all α and β with h ( β / α ) 4 , the n -th element of these sequences has a primitive divisor for n > 30 . In the course of proving this result, we give an improvement of a result of Stewart concerning more general sequences.

Solving conics over function fields

Mark van Hoeij, John Cremona (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Let F be a field whose characteristic is not  2 and K = F ( t ) . We give a simple algorithm to find, given a , b , c K * , a nontrivial solution in  K (if it exists) to the equation a X 2 + b Y 2 + c Z 2 = 0 . The algorithm requires, in certain cases, the solution of a similar equation with coefficients in F ; hence we obtain a recursive algorithm for solving diagonal conics over ( t 1 , , t n ) (using existing algorithms for such equations over  ) and over 𝔽 q ( t 1 , , t n ) .

The Ljunggren equation revisited

Konstantinos A. Draziotis (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We study the Ljunggren equation Y² + 1 = 2X⁴ using the "multiplication by 2" method of Chabauty.

Weighted Frobenius-Perron operators and their spectra

Mohammad Reza Jabbarzadeh, Rana Hajipouri (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

First, some classic properties of a weighted Frobenius-Perron operator 𝒫 ϕ u on L 1 ( Σ ) as a predual of weighted Koopman operator W = u U ϕ on L ( Σ ) will be investigated using the language of the conditional expectation operator. Also, we determine the spectrum of 𝒫 ϕ u under certain conditions.
