A subset F subset R of the real numbers is said to be an F_sigma set provided F is the countable union of closed sets. The name F_sigma comes from French: The F stands for ...

Fractran is an algorithm applied to a given list f_1, f_2, ..., f_k of fractions. Given a starting integer N, the FRACTRAN algorithm proceeds by repeatedly multiplying the ...

Let f(z) = z+a_1+a_2z^(-1)+a_3z^(-2)+... (1) = zsum_(n=0)^(infty)a_nz^(-n) (2) = zg(1/z) (3) be a Laurent polynomial with a_0=1. Then the Faber polynomial P_m(f) in f(z) of ...

In the course of searching for continued fraction identities, Raayoni (2021) and Elimelech et al. (2023) noticed that while the numerator and denominator of continued ...

A factorion is an integer which is equal to the sum of factorials of its digits. There are exactly four such numbers: 1 = 1! (1) 2 = 2! (2) 145 = 1!+4!+5! (3) 40585 = ...
