Permutation polynomials have important applications in cryptography, coding theory, combinatorial designs, and other areas of mathematics and engineering. Finding new classes of permutation polynomials is therefore an interesting subject of study. Permutation trinomials attract people’s interest due to their simple algebraic forms and additional extraordinary properties. In this paper, based on a seventh-degree and a fifth-degree Dickson polynomial over the finite field [Formula: see text], two conjectures on permutation trinomials over [Formula: see text] presented recently by Li–Qu–Li–Fu are partially settled, where [Formula: see text] is a positive integer.

Let $G$ be a graph. For a given positive integer $d$, let $f_G(d)$ denote the largest integer $t$ such that in every coloring of the edges of $G$ with two colors there is a monochromatic subgraph with minimum degree at least $d$ and order at least $t$. Let $f_G(d)=0$ in case there is a $2$-coloring of the edges of $G$ with no such monochromatic subgraph. Let $f(n,k,d)$ denote the minimum of $f_G(d)$ where $G$ ranges over all graphs with $n$ vertices and minimum degree at least $k$. In this paper we establish $f(n,k,d)$ whenever $k$ or $n-k$ are fixed, and $n$ is sufficiently large. We also consider the case where more than two colors are allowed.

AbstractLet R be an associative ring with unity. Then R is said to be a right McCoy ring when the equation f (x)g(x) = 0 (over R[x]), where 0 ≠ f (x), g(x) ∈ R[x], implies that there exists a nonzero element c ∈ R such that f (x)c = 0. In this paper, we characterize some basic ring extensions of right McCoy rings and we prove that if R is a right McCoy ring, then R[x]/(xn) is a right McCoy ring for any positive integer n ≥ 2.

Abstract The article focuses on the evaluation of convolution sums $${W_k}(n): = \mathop \sum \nolimits_{_{m < {n \over k}}} \sigma (m)\sigma (n - km)$$ involving the sum of divisor function $$\sigma (n)$$ for k =21, 33, and 35. In this article, our aim is to obtain certain Eisenstein series of level 21 and use them to evaluate the convolution sums for level 21. We also make use of the existing Eisenstein series identities for level 33 and 35 in evaluating the convolution sums for level 33 and 35. Most of the convolution sums were evaluated using the theory of modular forms, whereas we have devised a technique which is free from the theory of modular forms. As an application, we determine a formula for the number of representations of a positive integer n by the octonary quadratic form $$(x_1^2 + {x_1}{x_2} + ax_2^2 + x_3^2 + {x_3}{x_4} + ax_4^2) + b(x_5^2 + {x_5}{x_6} + ax_6^2 + x_7^2 + {x_7}{x_8} + ax_8^2)$$ , for (a, b)=(1, 7), (1, 11), (2, 3), and (2, 5).

Consider the Diophantine equation yn=x+x(x+1)+⋯+x(x+1)⋯(x+k), where x, y, n, and k are integers. In 2016, a research article, entitled – ’power values of sums of products of consecutive integers’, primarily proved the inequality n= 19,736 to obtain all solutions (x,y,n) of the equation for the fixed positive integers k≤10. In this paper, we improve the bound as n≤ 10,000 for the same case k≤10, and for any fixed general positive integer k, we give an upper bound depending only on k for n.

AbstractA repdigit is a positive integer that has only one distinct digit in its decimal expansion, i.e., a number of the form $$a(10^m-1)/9$$ a ( 10 m - 1 ) / 9 , for some $$m\ge 1$$ m ≥ 1 and $$1 \le a \le 9$$ 1 ≤ a ≤ 9 . Let $$\left( P_n\right) _{n\ge 0}$$ P n n ≥ 0 and $$\left( E_n\right) _{n\ge 0}$$ E n n ≥ 0 be the sequence of Padovan and Perrin numbers, respectively. This paper deals with repdigits that can be written as the products of consecutive Padovan or/and Perrin numbers.

AbstractFor every positive integer n and for every $$\alpha \in [0, 1]$$ α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , let $${\mathcal {B}}(n, \alpha )$$ B ( n , α ) denote the probabilistic model in which a random set $${\mathcal {A}} \subseteq \{1, \ldots , n\}$$ A ⊆ { 1 , … , n } is constructed by picking independently each element of $$\{1, \ldots , n\}$$ { 1 , … , n } with probability $$\alpha $$ α . Cilleruelo, Rué, Šarka, and Zumalacárregui proved an almost sure asymptotic formula for the logarithm of the least common multiple of the elements of $${\mathcal {A}}$$ A .Let q be an indeterminate and let $$[k]_q := 1 + q + q^2 + \cdots + q^{k-1} \in {\mathbb {Z}}[q]$$ [ k ] q : = 1 + q + q 2 + ⋯ + q k - 1 ∈ Z [ q ] be the q-analog of the positive integer k. We determine the expected value and the variance of $$X := \deg {\text {lcm}}\!\big ([{\mathcal {A}}]_q\big )$$ X : = deg lcm ( [ A ] q ) , where $$[{\mathcal {A}}]_q := \big \{[k]_q : k \in {\mathcal {A}}\big \}$$ [ A ] q : = { [ k ] q : k ∈ A } . Then we prove an almost sure asymptotic formula for X, which is a q-analog of the result of Cilleruelo et al.

AbstractLet G be a finite transitive permutation group of degree n, with point stabilizer {H\neq 1} and permutation character π. For every positive integer t, we consider the generalized character {\psi_{t}=\rho_{G}-t(\pi-1_{G})}, where {\rho_{G}} is the regular character of G and {1_{G}} the 1-character. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on t (and G) which guarantee that {\psi_{t}} is a character of G. A necessary condition is that {t\leq\min\{n-1,\lvert H\rvert\}}, and it turns out that {\psi_{t}} is a character of G for {t=n-1} resp. {t=\lvert H\rvert} precisely when G is 2-transitive resp. a Frobenius group.
