C. DUMITRESCU V. SELEACU editors Department of Mathematics University of Craiova SOME NOTIONS AND QUESTIONS IN NUMBER THEORY (fourth edition) American Research Press 1998 Introduction The following notions, definitions, unsolved problems, questions, theorems, corollaries, formulae, conjectures, examples, mathematical criteria, etc. ( on integer sequences, numbers, quotients, residues, exponents, sieves, pseudo-primes/squares/cubes/factorials, almost primes, mobile periodicals, functions, tables, prime/square/factorial bases, etc. ) have been extracted from the Archives of American Mathematics (University of Texas at Austin), Arizona State University (Tempe): "The Florentin Smarandache papers" special collection, University of Craiova Library, and Arhivele Statului (Filiala Valcea). Any comments, solutions, generalizations, cross-reference problems, applications, etc. concerning this material are welcome and if correct they will be published on our journal. Articles, notes, solved or unsolved proposed problems, etc. should be sent on the following address: Dr. L. M. Perez, Editor American Research Press Rehoboth, Box 141 NM 87322, USA E-mail: ARP@cia-g.com URL: http://www.gallup.unm.edu/~smarandache/ All contributions will be published, and the authors will get free copies of the with their published paper. The journal is worldwide distributed: in electronic version and hard copy. It reaches more than 5,000 readers around the world. We prefer electronic papers (by e-mail, or diskets sent by regular mail), but hard copies (camera ready) are also welcome. We prefer files in Microsoft Word 7.0a or lower for Windows 95, or Word Perfect 6.1 or lower, or text files. The best three papers will be awarded with $300.00 each. The editors are also looking for long lenght manuscripts dealing with the Smarandache type notions: at least 100 pages, camera ready. The manuscripts will be published under the form of a book, and the authors will receive 100 free copies as copyright. Any letter will be answered. The Editors 1)Smarandache consecutive sequence: 1,12,123,1234,12345,123456,1234567,12345678,123456789,12345678910, 1234567891011,123456789101112,12345678910111213,... Florentin Smarandache asked how many primes are there among these numbers? In a general form, the Smarandache Consecutive Sequence is considered in an arbitrary numeration base B.

Their numbers may be finite if the picture's background is zeroed, or infinite if the picture's background is not zeroed -- as for the previous examples. 15)Smarandache simple numbers: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15,17,19,21,22,23,25,26,27,29,31,33,34,35,37,38, 39,41,43,45,46,47,49,51,53,55,57,58,61,62,65,67,69,71,73,74,77,78,79,82,83, 85,86,87,89,91,93,94,95,97,101,103,... (A number n is called if the product of its proper divisors is less than or equal to n.) Generally speaking, n has the form: n = p, or p^2, or p^3, or pq, where p and q are distinct primes.

If we note by s(A) the Smarandache superior square part of A (i.e. the largest square less than or equal to A), then A is written in the Smarandache square base as: A = s(A) + s(A-s(A)) + s(A-s(A)-s(A-s(A))) + ... . This base is important for partitions with squares. 49)Smarandache m-power base (generalization): (Each number n written in the Smarandache m-power base, where m is an integer >= 2.) (Smarandache defined over the set of natural numbers the following infinite m-power base: for k >= 0 t = k^m.) k He proved that every positive integer A may be uniquely written in the Smarandache m-power base as: n ___________ def --- A = (a ... a a ) === \ a t , with a = 0 or 1 for i >= m, n 1 0 (SM) / i i i --- i=0 -- -- 0 <= a <= | ((i+2)^m - 1) / (i+1)^m | (integer part) i -- -- for i = 0, 1, ..., m-1, a = 0 or 1 for i >= m, and of course a = 1, i n in the following way: - if t <= A < t then A = t + r ; n n+1 n 1 - if t <= r < t then r = t + r , m < n; m 1 m+1 1 m 2 and so on untill one obtains a rest r = 0. j Therefore, any number may be written as a sum of m-powers (1 not counted as an m-power -- being obvious) + e, where e = 0, 1, 2, ..., or 2^m-1. If we note by t(A) the Smarandache superior m-power part of A (i.e. the largest m-power less than or equal to A), then A is written in the Smarandache m-power base as: A = t(A) + t(A-t(A)) + t(A-t(A)-t(A-t(A))) + ... This base is important for partitions with m-powers. 50)Smarandache factorial base: 0,1,10,11,20,21,100,101,110,111,120,121,200,201,210,211,220,221,300,301,310, 311,320,321,1000,1001,1010,1011,1020,1021,1100,1101,1110,1111,1120,1121, 1200,...

If we note by f(A) the Smarandache superior factorial part of A (i.e. the largest factorial less than or equal to A), then A is written in the Smarandache factorial base as: A = f(A) + f(A-f(A)) + f(A-f(A)-f(A-f(A))) + ... . Rules of addition and subtraction in Smarandache factorial base: foreach digit a we add and substract in base i+1, for i >= 1. i For example, an addition: base 5 4 3 2 --------------- 2 1 0 + 2 2 1 ----------- 1 1 0 1 because: 0+1= 1 (in base 2); 1+2=10 (in base 3), therefore we write 0 and keep 1; 2+2+1=11 (in base 4). Now a subtraction: base 5 4 3 2 --------------- 1 0 0 1 - 3 2 0 --------- = = 1 1 because: 1-0=1 (in base 2); 0-2=? it's not possible (in base 3), go to the next left unit, which is 0 again (in base 4), go again to the next left unit, which is 1 (in base 5), therefore 1001 --> 0401 --> 0331 and then 0331-320=11. Find some rules for multiplication and division. In a general case: if we want to design a base such that any number n ___________ def --- A = (a ... a a ) === \ a b , with all a = 0, 1, ..., t for n 2 1 (B) / i i i i --- i=1 i >= 1, where all t >= 1, then: i this base should be b = 1, b = (t +1) * b for i >= 1. 1 i+1 i i 51)Smarandache generalized base: (Each number n written in the Smarandache generalized base.) (Smarandache defined over the set of natural numbers the following infinite generalized base: 1 = g < g < ... < g < ... .) 0 1 k He proved that every positive integer A may be uniquely written in the Smarandache generalized base as: n ___________ def --- -- -- A = (a ... a a ) === \ a g , with 0 <= a <= | (g - 1) / g | n 1 0 (SG) / i i i -- i+1 i -- --- i=0 (integer part) for i = 0, 1, ..., n, and of course a >= 1, n in the following way: - if g <= A < g then A = g + r ; n n+1 n 1 - if g <= r < g then r = g + r , m < n; m 1 m+1 1 m 2 and so on untill one obtains a rest r = 0. j If we note by g(A) the Smarandache superior generalized part of A (i.e. the largest g less than or equal to A), then A is written in the i Smarandache m-power base as: A = g(A) + g(A-g(A)) + g(A-g(A)-g(A-g(A))) + ... This base is important for partitions: the generalized base may be any infinite integer set (primes, squares, cubes, any m-powers, Fibonacci/Lucas numbers, Bernoully numbers, Smarandache numbers, etc.) those partitions are studied. A particular case is when the base verifies: 2g >= g for any i, i i+1 and g = 1, because all coefficients of a written number in this base 0 will be 0 or 1. i-1 Remark: another particular case: if one takes g = p , i = 1, 2, 3, i ..., p an integer >= 2, one gets the representation of a number in the numerical base p {p may be 10 (decimal), 2 (binar), 16 (hexadecimal), etc.}. 52)Smarandache numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,3,7,4,6,5,11,4,13,7,5,6,17,6,19,5,7,11,23,4,10,13,9,7,29, 5,31,8,11,17,7,6,37,19,13,5,41,7,43,11,5,23,47,6,14,10,17,13,53,9,11, 7,19,29,59,5,61,31,7,8,13,...

J. A. Sloane, e-mail to R. Muller, February 26, 1994. 107)Smarandache paradoxist numbers: There exist a few "Smarandache" number sequences. A number n is called a "Smarandache paradoxist number" if and only if n doesn't belong to any of the Smarandache defined numbers. Question: find the Smarandache paradoxist number sequence. Solution? If a number k is a Smarandache paradoxist number, then k doesn't belong to any of the Smarandache defined numbers, therefore k doesn't belong to the Smarandache paradoxist numbers too! If a number k doesn't belong to any of the Smarandache defined numbers, then k is a Smarandache paradoxist number, therefore k belongs to a Smarandache defined numbers (because Smarandache paradoxist numbers is also in the same category) -- contradiction. Dilemma: is the Smarandache paradoxist number sequence empty ?? 108)Non-Smarandache numbers: A number n is called a "non-Smarandache number" if and only if n is neither a Smarandache paradoxist number nor any of the Smarandache defined numbers. Question: find the non-Smarandache number sequence. Dilemma 1: is the non-Smarandache number sequence empty, too ?? Dilemma 2: is a non-Smarandache number equivalent to a Smarandache paradoxist number ??? (this would be another paradox !! ... because a non-Smarandache number is not a Smarandache paradoxist number). 109)The paradox of Smarandache numbers: Any number is a Smarandache number, the non-Smarandache number too. (This is deduced from the following paradox (see the reference): "All is possible, the impossible too!") Reference: Charles T. Le, "The Smarandache Class of Paradoxes", in , Bombay, India, 1995; and in , Salinas, CA, 1993, and in , Bucharest, No. 2, 1994. 110)Smarandache multiplication: Another way to multiply two integer numbers, A and B: - let k be an integer >= 2; - write A and B on two different vertical columns: c(A), respectively c(B); - multiply A by k, and write the product A on the column c(A); 1 - divide B by k, and write the integer part of the quotient B 1 on the column c(B); ... and so on with the new numbers A and B , 1 1 untill we get a B < k on the column c(B); i Then: - write another column c(r), on the right side of c(B), such that: for each number of column c(B), which may be a multiple of k plus the rest r (where r = 0, 1, 2, ..., k-1), the corresponding number on c(r) will be r; - multiply each number of column A by its corresponding r of c(r), and put the new products on another column c(P) on the right side of c(r); - finally add all numbers of column c(P). AxB = the sum of all numbers of c(P). Remark that any multiplication of integer numbers can be done only by multiplication with 2, 3, ..., k, divisions by k, and additions. This is a generalization of Russian multiplication (when k=2). Smarandache multiplication is usefull when k is very small, the best values being for k=2 (Russian multiplication -- known since Egyptian time), or k=3. If k is greater than or equal to min {10, B}, this multiplication is trivial (the obvious multiplication). Example 1 (if we choose k=3): 73x97= ? x3 | /3 | -------|------|------------- c(A) | c(B) | c(r) | c(P) -------|------|------|------ 73 | 97 | 1 | 73 219 | 32 | 2 | 438 657 | 10 | 1 | 657 1971 | 3 | 0 | 0 5913 | 1 | 1 | 5913 ---------------------|------ | 7081 total therefore: 73x97=7081. Remark that any multiplication of integer numbers can be done only by multiplication with 2, 3, divisions by 3, and additions. Example 2 (if we choose k=4): 73x97= ? x4 | /4 | -------|------|------------- c(A) | c(B) | c(r) | c(P) -------|------|------|------ 73 | 97 | 1 | 73 292 | 24 | 0 | 0 1168 | 6 | 2 | 2336 4672 | 1 | 1 | 4672 ---------------------|------ | 7081 total therefore: 73x97=7081. Remark that any multiplication of integer numbers can be done only by multiplication with 2, 3, 4, divisions by 4, and additions. Example 3 (if we choose k=5): 73x97= ? x5 | /5 | -------|------|------------- c(A) | c(B) | c(r) | c(P) -------|------|------|------ 73 | 97 | 2 | 146 365 | 19 | 4 | 1460 1825 | 3 | 3 | 5475 ---------------------|------ | 7081 total therefore: 73x97=7081. Remark that any multiplication of integer numbers can be done only by multiplication with 2, 3, 4, 5, divisions by 5, and additions. The Smarandache multiplication becomes less usefull when k increases. Look at another example (4), what happens when k=10: 73x97= ? x10 | /10 | -------|------|------------- c(A) | c(B) | c(r) | c(P) -------|------|------|------ 73 | 97 | 7 | 511 (=73x7) 730 | 9 | 9 | 6570 (=730x9) ---------------------|------ | 7081 total therefore: 73x97=7081. Remark that any multiplication of integer numbers can be done only by multiplication with 2, 3, ..., 9, 10, divisions by 10, and additions -- hence we obtain just the obvious multiplication! 111)Smarandache division by k^n: Another way to divide an integer numbers A by k^n, where k, n are integers >= 2: - write A and k^n on two different vertical columns: c(A), respectively c(k^n); - divide A by k, and write the integer quotient A on the column c(A); 1 - divide k^n by k, and write the quotient q = k^(n-1) 1 on the column c(k^n); ... and so on with the new numbers A and q , 1 1 untill we get q = 1 (= k^0) on the column c(k^n); n Then: - write another column c(r), on the left side of c(A), such that: for each number of column c(A), which may be a multiple of k plus the rest r (where r = 0, 1, 2, ..., k-1), the corresponding number on c(r) will be r; - write another column c(P), on the left side of c(r), in the following way: the element on line i (except the last line which is 0) will be k^(i-1); - multiply each number of column c(P) by its corresponding r of c(r), and put the new products on another column c(R) on the left side of c(P); - finally add all numbers of column c(R) to get the final rest R , n while the final quotient will be stated in front of c(k^n)'s 1. Therefore: A/(k^n) = A and rest R . n n Remark that any division of an integer number by k^n can be done only by divisions to k, calculations of powers of k, multiplications with 1, 2, ..., k-1, additions. Smarandache division is usefull when k is small, the best values being when k is an one-digit number, and n large. If k is very big and n verry small, this division becomes useless.
