چکیده

An elliptic divisibility sequence (EDS) is a sequence of integers (Wn)n≥0 generated by the nonlinear recursion satisfied by the division polyomials of an elliptic curve. We give a formula for the sign of Wn for unbounded nonsingular EDS, a typical case being Sign(Wn) = (−1) ⌊nβ⌋ for an irrational number β ∈ R. As an application, we show that the associated sequence of absolute values (|Wn|) cannot be realized as the fixed point counting sequence of any abstract dynamical system.

On The Elliptic Divisibility Sequences over Finite Fields

In this work we study elliptic divisibility sequences over finite fields. Morgan Ward in [11, 12] gave arithmetic theory of elliptic divisibility sequences. We study elliptic divisibility sequences, equivalence of these sequences and singular elliptic divisibility sequences over finite fields Fp, p > 3 is a prime. Keywords—Elliptic divisibility sequences, equivalent sequences, singular sequence...

Algebraic Divisibility Sequences over Function Fields

In this note we study the existence of primes and of primitive divisors in function field analogues of classical divisibility sequences. Under various hypotheses, we prove that Lucas sequences and elliptic divisibility sequences over function fields defined over number fields contain infinitely many irreducible elements. We also prove that an elliptic divisibility sequence over a function field...

A sequence of rational integers {An} is said to be a divisibility sequence if Am | An whenever m | n. If the divisibility sequence {An} also satisfies a linear recurrence relation of order k, it is said to be a linear divisibility sequence. The best known example of a linear divisibility sequence of order 2 is the Lucas sequence {un}, one particular instance of which is the famous Fibonacci seq...

Primes in Divisibility Sequences

We give an overview of two important families of divisibility sequences: the Lehmer–Pierce family (which generalise the Mersenne sequence) and the elliptic divisibility sequences. Recent computational work is described, as well as some of the mathematics behind these sequences.

Some finite groups with divisibility graph containing no triangles

Let $G$ be a finite group. The graph $D(G)$ is a divisibility graph of $G$. Its vertex set is the non-central conjugacy class sizes of $G$ and there is an edge between vertices $a$ and $b$ if and only if $a|b$ or $b|a$. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the divisibility graph $D(G)$ for a non-solvable group with $sigma^{ast}(G)=2$, a finite simple group $G$ that satisfies the one-p...
