چکیده

Let D be a list of single digits, and let k be a positive integer. We construct an infinite sequence of positive integers by repeatedly appending, in order, one at a time, the digits from the list D to the integer k, in one of four ways: always on the left, always on the right, alternating and starting on the left, or alternating and starting on the right. In each of these four situations, we investigate, for various lists D, how to find infinitely many positive integers k such that every term of the sequence is composite.

Repeatedly Appending Any Digit to Generate Composite Numbers

We investigate the problem of finding integers k such that appending any number of copies of the base-ten digit d to k yields a composite number. In particular, we prove that there exist infinitely many integers coprime to all digits such that repeatedly appending any digit yields a composite number.

Optimization of Sound Transmission Loss of a Composite Rectangular Plate with Infinite Baffle

In this paper, optimization of the sound transmission loss of finite rectangular anisotropic laminated composite plate with simply supported boundary conditions has been developed to maximize transmission loss. Appropriate constraints were imposed to prevent the occurrence of softening effect due to optimization. For this purpose, optimization process was incorporated into comprehensive finite ...

A Tribonacci-Like Sequence of Composite Numbers

We find a new Tribonacci-like sequence of positive integers 〈x0, x1, x2, . . .〉 given by xn = xn−1 + xn−2 + xn−3 , n ≥ 3, and gcd(x0, x1, x2) = 1 that contains no prime numbers. We show that the sequence with initial values x0 = 151646890045, x1 = 836564809606, x2 = 942785024683 is the current record in terms of the number of digits.

Optimization of infinite composite plates with quasi-triangular holes under in-plane loading

This study used particle swarm optimization (PSO) to determine the optimal values of effective design variables acting on the stress distribution around a quasi-triangular hole in an infinite orthotropic plate. These parameters were load angle, hole orientation, bluntness, fiber angle, and material properties, which were ascertained on the basis of an analytical method used by Lekhnitskii [3]. ...
