Wendt's determinant of order n is the circulant determinant Wn whose (i,j)-th entry is the binomial coefficient , for 1?i,j?n, where n is a positive integer. We establish some congruence relations satisfied by these rational integers. Thus, if p is a prime number and k a positive integer, then and . If q is another prime, distinct from p, and h any positive integer, then . Furthermore, if p is odd, then . In particular, if p?5, then . Also, if m and n are relatively prime positive integers, then WmWn divides Wmn. 相似文献

Let (a,b)∈Z2, where b≠0 and (a,b)≠(±2,−1). We prove that then there exist two positive relatively prime composite integers x1, x2 such that the sequence given by xn+1=axn+bxn−1, n=2,3,… , consists of composite terms only, i.e., |xn| is a composite integer for each n∈N. In the proof of this result we use certain covering systems, divisibility sequences and, for some special pairs (a,±1), computer calculations. The paper is motivated by a result of Graham who proved this theorem in the special case of the Fibonacci-like sequence, where (a,b)=(1,1). 相似文献

We analyze an enumeration associated with the Josephus problem by applying a Fourier transform to a multivariate generating function. This yields a formula for the enumeration that reduces to a simple expression under a condition we call local prime abundance. Under this widely held condition, we prove (Corollary 3.4) that the proportion of Josephus permutations in the symmetric group Sn that map t to k (independent of the choice of t and k) is 1/n. Local prime abundance is intimately connected with a well-known result of S.S. Pillai, which we exploit for the purpose of determining when it holds and when it fails to hold. We pursue the first case where it fails, reducing an intractable DFT computation of the enumeration to a tractable one. A resulting computation shows that the enumeration is nontrivial for this case.Video

We study the Jacobi continued fraction and the Hankel determinants of the Thue-Morse sequence and obtain several interesting properties. In particular, a formal power series φ(x) is being discovered, having the property that the Hankel transforms of φ(x) and of φ(x2) are identical. 相似文献

We solve an arithmetic problem due to Erdös and Freud (1986) investigated also by Freiman, Nathanson and Sárközy: How many elements from a given set of integers one must take to represent a power of 2 by their sum? 相似文献

A recent conjecture of Myerson and Sander concerns divisibility properties of certain multinomial coefficients. We obtain results in this direction by further pursuing a line of attack developed earlier by the first author. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider the usual and generalized order-k Fibonacci and Pell recurrences, then we define a new recurrence, which we call generalized order-k F–P sequence. Also we present a systematic investigation of the generalized order-k F–P sequence. We give the generalized Binet formula, some identities and an explicit formula for sums of the generalized order-k F–P sequence by matrix methods. Further, we give the generating function and combinatorial representations of these numbers. Also we present an algorithm for computing the sums of the generalized order-k Pell numbers, as well as the Pell numbers themselves. 相似文献

In this paper we introduce a certain sum by using Dirichlet characters. We investigate the Riesz mean of the sum using the
analytic properties of the MultipleL-function systematically.

It is well-known that the Fibonacci numbers have a maximum property with respect to the length of the regular continued fraction expansion (or, equivalently, of the Euclidean algorithm). But it seems to be scarcely known that they also have a minimum property relative to the sum of the digits of this expansion. We discuss both properties and their interrelation here. 相似文献

Let p>3 be a prime, and denote the number of solutions of the congruence . In this paper, using the third-order recurring sequences we determine the values of Np(x3+a1x2+a2x+a3) and Np(x4+ax2+bx+c), and construct the solutions of the corresponding congruences, where a1,a2,a3,a,b,c are integers. 相似文献

In this paper, we prove that if {a,b,c,d} is a set of four non-zero polynomials with integer coefficients, not all constant, such that the product of any two of its distinct elements plus 1 is a square of a polynomial with integer coefficients, then
(a+b−c−d)2=4(ab+1)(cd+1). 相似文献

the covering function is w(x)

involving roots of unity we characterize those systems with a

some connections between a period n0 of
w(x) and the moduli

Summary. Let k ≥ 1 be any integer. Let G be a finite abelian group of exponent n. Let sk(G) be the smallest positive integer t such that every sequence S in G of length at least t has a zero-sum subsequence of length kn. We study this constant for groups
