Throughout, ε is any small positive number, θ any real number, n, nj, k, N some positive integers and p, pj any primes. By ‖θ‖ we mean the distance from θ to the nearest integer. Write C(ε), C(ε, k) for positive constants which may depend on the quantities indicated inside the parentheses.

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

For a real number [Formula: see text] and positive integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], we evaluate the sum of multiple zeta values [Formula: see text] explicitly in terms of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The special case [Formula: see text] gives an evaluation of [Formula: see text]. An explicit evaluation of the multiple zeta-star value [Formula: see text] is also obtained, as well as some applications to evaluation of multiple zeta values with even arguments.

AbstractA set A⊆ℤ is called an asymptotic basis of ℤ if all but finitely many integers can be represented as a sum of two elements of A. Let A be an asymptotic basis of integers with prescribed representation function, then how dense A can be? In this paper, we prove that there exist a real number c>0 and an asymptotic basis A with prescribed representation function such that $A(-x,x)\geq c\sqrt {x}$ for infinitely many positive integers x.

For a real number t, let st be the multiplicative arithmetic function defined by [Formula: see text] for all primes p and positive integers α. We show that the range of a function s-r is dense in the interval (0, 1] whenever r ∈ (0, 1]. We then find a constant ηA ≈ 1.9011618 and show that if r > 1, then the range of the function s-r is a dense subset of the interval [Formula: see text] if and only if r ≤ ηA. We end with an open problem.

Let μ be a probability measure on the real line ℝ, x a real number and δ(x) the probability atom concentrated at x. Stam made the interesting observation that eitheror else(ii) δ(x)* μn, are mutually singular for all positive integers n.

In this paper, we introduce lacunary statistical ward continuity in a 2-normed space. A function f defined on a subset E of a 2-normed space X is lacunary statistically ward continuous if it preserves lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy sequences of points in E where a sequence (xk) of points in X is lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy if limr?1 1/hr |{k?Ir : ||xk+1 - xk, z||? ?}| = 0 for every positive real number ? and z ? X, and (kr) is an increasing sequence of positive integers such that k0 = 0 and hr = kr - kr-1 ? ? as r ? ?, Ir = (kr-1, kr]. We investigate not only lacunary statistical ward continuity, but also some other kinds of continuities in 2-normed spaces.

We study generalized continued fraction expansions of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{a_{1}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{2}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{3}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{}{\cdots },\end{eqnarray}$$ where $N$ is a fixed positive integer and the partial numerators $a_{i}$ are positive integers for all $i$ . We call these expansions $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions and show that every positive real number has infinitely many $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions for each $N$ . In particular, we study the $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions of rational numbers and quadratic irrationals. Finally, we show that every positive real number has, for each $N$ , a $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansion with bounded partial numerators.

AbstractLet n be a natural with largest component sd. We prove that if xσ(n) = yn + z (x, y, z given positive integers), n is not primitive (y/x)-abundant and n/s is not (y/x)-perfect, then n < 4(z + ½)3/27y (if z ≥ 175). All solutions are tabled for the equation xσ(n) - yn when x = 1, y ≥ 2, 1 ≤ z ≤ 210, and n is not primitive y-abundant. We also prove that if n is primitive (y/x)-abundant, then s3d < (yn/2)2. A number of results are proved concerning the range of σ(n)/n when n is primitive αabundant, for any real number α > 1. For example, then α(n/n < α + min {½ 3 α e-5a/9 /2) and σ(n)/n < α /1.6α/log n. All primitive abundant numbers n with α(n)/ ≥ 2.05 are listed.

An ideal I is a family of subsets of positive integers N which is closed under taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. In [19], Kostyrko et al. introduced the concept of ideal convergence as a sequence (xk) of real numbers is said to be I-convergent to a real number e, if for each ? > 0 the set {k ? N : |xk - e| ? ?} belongs to I. The aim of this paper is to introduce and study the notion of ?-ideal convergence in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces as a variant of the notion of ideal convergence. Also I? -limit points and I?-cluster points have been defined and the relation between them has been established. Furthermore, Cauchy and I?-Cauchy sequences are introduced and studied. .
