The sequence of numbers which are sums of distinct powers of 4. The first few are 0, 1, 4, 5, 16, 17, 20, 21, 64, 65, 68, 69, 80, 81, 84, ... (OEIS A000695). These numbers ...

If a and b are integers not both equal to 0, then there exist integers u and v such that GCD(a,b)=au+bv, where GCD(a,b) is the greatest common divisor of a and b.

A sequence {nu_i} of nondecreasing positive integers is complete iff 1. nu_1=1. 2. For all k=2, 3, ..., s_(k-1)=nu_1+nu_2+...+nu_(k-1)>=nu_k-1. A corollary states that a ...

For a form Q, the generic character chi_i(Q) of Q is defined as the values of chi_i(m) where (m,2d)=1 and Q represents m: chi_1(Q), chi_2(Q), ..., chi_r(Q) (Cohn 1980, p. ...

Grimm conjectured that if n+1, n+2, ..., n+k are all composite numbers, then there are distinct primes p_(i_j) such that p_(i_j)|(n+j) for 1<=j<=k.

Let F be a finite field with q elements, and let F_s be a field containing F such that [F_s:F]=s. Let chi be a nontrivial multiplicative character of F and chi^'=chi ...

A sequence of positive integers {a_n} such that sum1/(a_nb_n) is irrational for all integer sequences {b_n}. Erdős showed that {2^(2^n)}={1,2,4,16,256,...} (OEIS A001146) is ...

A positive value of n for which x-phi(x)=n has no solution, where phi(x) is the totient function. The first few are 10, 26, 34, 50, 52, ... (OEIS A005278).

A positive even value of n for which phi(x)=n, where phi(x) is the totient function, has no solution. The first few are 14, 26, 34, 38, 50, ... (OEIS A005277).

Given an amicable pair (m,n), the quantity sigma(m) = sigma(n) (1) = =s(m)+s(n) (2) = m+n (3) is called the pair sum, where sigma(n) is the divisor function and s(n) is the ...
