AbstractIt is proven that ifk≥ 2 is an integer anddis a positive integer such that the product of any two distinct elements of the setincreased by 1 is a perfect square, thend= 4kord= 64k5−48k3+8k. Together with a recent result of Fujita, this shows that all Diophantine quadruples of the form {k− 1,k+ 1,c,d} are regular.

AbstractLet d(n;l,k) denote the number of divisors of the positive integer n which are congruent to I modulo k. The objective of the present paper is to prove that (for some exponent θ<⅓)holds uniformly in l, k and x satisfying 1≤l≤k≤x. This improves a recent result due to R. A. Smith and M. V. Subbarao [3].

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

In this paper, we study the dynamics of the family of rational maps with two parameters $$\begin{eqnarray}f_{a,b}(z)=z^{n}+\frac{a^{2}}{z^{n}-b}+\frac{a^{2}}{b},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $n\geq 2$ and $a,b\in \mathbb{C}^{\ast }$. We give a characterization of the topological properties of the Julia set and the Fatou set of $f_{a,b}$ according to the dynamical behavior of the orbits of the free critical points.

This paper is concerned with the numbers which are relatively prime to a given positive integerwhere the p's are the distinct prime factors of n. Since these numbers recur periodically with period n, it suffices to study the ϕ(n) numbers ≤n and relatively prime to n.

Letkbe any algebraically closed field, and denote byk((t)) the field of formal power series in one indeterminatetoverk. Letso thatKis the field of Puiseux expansions with coefficients ink(each element ofKis a formal power series intl/rfor some positive integerr). It is well-known thatKis algebraically closed if and only ifkis of characteristic zero [1, p. 61]. For examples relating to ramified extensions of fields with valuation [9, §6] it is useful to have a field analogous toKwhich is algebraically closed whenkhas non-zero characteristicp. In this paper, I prove that the setLof all formal power series of the form Σaitei(where (ei) is well-ordered,ei=mi|nprt,n∈ Ζ,mi∈ Ζ,ai∈k,ri∈ Ν) forms an algebraically closed field.

It is proposed to establish the two following integrals.where n is a positive integer, x is real and positive, μi and ν are complex, and Δ (n; a) represents the set of parameterswhere n is a positive integer and x is real and positive.

This chapter discusses Slothouber–Graatsma–Conway puzzle, which asks one to assemble six 1 × 2 × 2 pieces and three 1 × 1 × 1 pieces into the shape of a 3 × 3 × 3 cube. The puzzle has been generalized to larger cubes, and there is an infinite family of such puzzles. The chapter's primary argument is that, for any odd positive integer n = 2k + 1, there is exactly one way, up to symmetry, to make an n × n × n cube out of n tiny 1 × 1 × 1 cubes and six of each of a set of rectangular blocks. The chapter describes a way to solve each puzzle in the family and explains why there are no other solutions. It then presents several related open problems.

Let denote the family of all functions of the formthat are analytic in the unit disc U, f′(z) ≠ 0 in U and f maps U onto a domain of boundary rotation at most . Recently Brannan, Clunie and Kirwan [2] and Aharonov and Friedland [1] have solved the problem of estimating |amp+1| for all , provided m = 1.

Let n be a positive integer and put N = {1, 2, . . . , n}. A collection {S1, S2, . . . , St} of subsets of N is called determining if, for any T ⊂ N, the cardinalities of the t intersections T ∩ Sj determine T uniquely. Let €1, €2, . . . , €n be n variables with range {0, 1}. It is clear that a determining collection {Sj) has the property that the sums
