Super Congruences Involving Alternating Harmonic Sums

Let p be an odd prime, the harmonic congruence such as , and many different variations and generalizations have been studied intensively. In this note, we consider the congruences involving the combination of alternating harmonic sums, where PP denotes the set of positive integers which are prime to p. And we establish the combinational congruences involving alternating harmonic sums for positive integer n=3,4,5.

A SPECIAL KIND OF PRINCIPAL CONGRUENCES ON MS-ALGEBRAS

In this article, for any a in the MS-algebra L, the author considers the con- gruence of the form defined by （x,y） ∈θa→←x∧a°° = y ∧a° and x ∨ a°° = y ∨ a°°. A characterization of subdirectly irreducible MS-algebras is given and it is also proved that the union of two principal congruences having this form is a principal congruence if and only if L ∈ K2 ∨ K3.

Divisible Semiring Congruences on Distributive Semiring

In this paper, we describe all the divisible semiring congruences on a distributive semiring S and also establish a one_to_one, inclusion_preserving mapping from the set of full, closed, self_conjagate, ideal subsemirings of S to the set of all divisible semiring congruences on S.

ON SYMMETRIC EXTENDED MS-ALGEBRAS WHOSE CONGRUENCES ARE PERMUTABLE

Algebras whose congruences are permutable were investigated by a number of authors in the literature. In this paper, we study the symmetric extended MS-algebras whose congruences are permutable. Some results obtained by Jie Fang on symmetric extended De Morgan algebras are generalized.

One Class of the Least Congruences on Completely Regular Semigroups

Congruence is a very important aspect in the study of the semigroup theory.In general,the Kernel-trace characterizations,Green's relations and subvarieties are main tools in the consideration of congruences on completely regular semigroups.In this paper,we give one class of congruences on completely regular semigroups with the representation of wreath product of translational hulls on completely simple semigroups.By this new way,the least Clifford semigroup congruences on completely regular semigroups are generalized.

On the Error Term for the Number of Solutions of Certain Congruences

Let f(x) be an irreducible polynomial of degree m ≥ 2 with integer coefficients,and let r(n) denote the number of solutions x of the congruence f(x) ≡ 0(mod n) satisfying0 ≤ x < n. Define ?(x) =Σ 1≤n≤x r(n)-αx, where α is the residue of the Dedekind zeta function ζ(s, K) at its simple pole s = 1. In this paper it is shown that ∫_1~X?~2(x)dx? ε{X^(3-6/m+3+ε)if m ≥ 3,X^(2+ε) if m = 2,for any non-Abelian polynomial f(x) and any ε > 0. This result constitutes an improvement upon that of Lü for the error terms on average.

Fibonacci Congruences and Applications

When we study a congruence T(x) ≡ ax modulo m as pseudo random number generator, there are several means of ensuring the independence of two successive numbers. In this report, we show that the dependence depends on the continued fraction expansion of m/a. We deduce that the congruences such that m and a are two successive elements of Fibonacci sequences are those having the weakest dependence. We will use this result to obtain truly random number sequences xn. For that purpose, we will use non-deterministic sequences yn. They are transformed using Fibonacci congruences and we will get by this way sequences xn. These sequences xn admit the IID model for correct model.

Congruences on an Orthodox Semigroup

Let 5 be an orthodox semigroup and γ the least inverse congruence on 5. C(S) denotes the set of all congruences on S. In this paper we introduce the concept of admissible triples for S, where admissible triples are constructed by the congruences on S/γ , the equivalences on E(S)/L and E(S)/R. The notation Ca(S) denotes the set of all admissible triple for S. We prove that every congruence ρ on S can be uniquely determined by the admissible triple induced by ρ, and there exists a lattice isomomorphism between C(S) and Ca(S).

The Kernel and Trace Approach to Congruences on Completely Regular Semirings

On completely regular semirings,we give alternative characterizations for the kernel of a congruence and idempotent pure congruences.Then we give alternative characterizations for the trace of a congruence and idempotent separating congruences.In addition,we conclude that a congruence is uniquely determined by its kernel and trace.

Maximal and Minimal Congruences on Some Semigroups

In 2006, Sanwong and Sullivan described the maximal congruences on the semigroup N consisting of all non-negative integers under standard multiplication, and on the semigroup T（X） consisting of all total transformations of an infinite set X under composition. Here, we determine all maximal congruences on the semigroup Zn under multiplication modulo n. And, when Y lohtain in X, we do the same for the semigroup T（X, Y） consisting of all elements of T（X） whose range is contained in Y. We also characterise the minimal congruences on T（X. Y）.

Super congruences and Euler numbers

Let p 〉 3 be a prime. A p-adic congruence is called a super congruence if it happens to hold modulo some higher power of p. The topic of super congruences is related to many fields including Gauss and Jacobi sums and hypergeometric series. We prove that ∑k=0^p-1（k^2k/2k）≡（-1）^（p-1）/2-p^2Ep-3（modp^3） ∑k=1^（p-1）/2（k^2k）/k≡（-1）^（p＋1）/2 8/3pEp-3（mod p^2）,∑k=0^（p-1）/2（k^2k）^2/16k≡（-1）^（p-1）/2＋p^2Ep-3（mod p^3）,where E0, E1, E2,... are Euler numbers. Our new approach is of combinatorial nature. We also formulate many conjectures concerning super congruences and relate most of them to Euler numbers or Bernoulli numbers. Motivated by our investigation of super congruences, we also raise a conjecture on 7 new series for π2, π-2 and the constant K ：= ∑k=1^∞（k/3）/k^2 （with （-） the Jacobi symbol）, two of which are ∑k=1^∞（10k-3）8k/k2（k^2k）^2（k^3k）=π^2/2and ∑k=1^∞（15k-4）（-27）^k-1/k^3（k^2k）^2（k^3k）=K.

Congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients

For integers b and c the generalized central trinomial coefficient Tn(b,c)denotes the coefficient of xnin the expansion of(x2+bx+c)n.Those Tn=Tn(1,1)(n=0,1,2,...)are the usual central trinomial coefficients,and Tn(3,2)coincides with the Delannoy number Dn=n k=0n k n+k k in combinatorics.We investigate congruences involving generalized central trinomial coefficients systematically.Here are some typical results:For each n=1,2,3,...,we have n-1k=0(2k+1)Tk(b,c)2(b2-4c)n-1-k≡0(mod n2)and in particular n2|n-1k=0(2k+1)D2k;if p is an odd prime then p-1k=0T2k≡-1p(mod p)and p-1k=0D2k≡2p(mod p),where(-)denotes the Legendre symbol.We also raise several conjectures some of which involve parameters in the representations of primes by certain binary quadratic forms.

It is proved that (i) If r ≥1 is odd and suppose p ≥r + 4, then (ii)If r ≥2 is even and suppose p ≥ r + 3, then (modp^2). (iii)-(2n+1)p (modp^2). This result generalizes the Glaisher’s congruence. As a corollary, a generalization of the Wolstenholme’s theorem is obtained.

Proof of three conjectures on congruences

This paper proves three conjectures on congruences involving central binomial coefficients or Lucas sequences.Let p be an odd prime and let a be a positive integer.It is shown that if p=1（mod 4）or a〉1then [3/4pa]∑k=0≡（2/pa）（mod p^2）where（—）denotes the Jacobi symbol.This confirms a conjecture of the second author.A conjecture of Tauraso is also confirmed by showing that p-1∑k=1 Lk/k^2≡0（mod p） provided p〉5.where the Lucas numbers Lo,L1,L2,...are defined by L_0=2,L1=1 and Ln＋1=Ln＋Ln-l（n=1,2,3,...）.The third theorem states that if p=5 then Fp^a-（p^a/5）mod p^3 can be determined in the following way： p^a-1∑k=0（-1）^k（2k k）≡（p^a/5）（1-2F p^a-（pa/5））（mod p^3）which appeared as a conjecture in a paper of Sun and Tauraso in 2010.

Let T be a subsemigroup of a semigroup S. A necessary and sufficient condition for which every rectangular band congruence on T can be uniquely extended to a rectangular band congruence on S is given.

Fibonacci and Lucas Congruences and Their Applications

In this paper we obtain some new identities containing Fibonacci and Lucas numbers. These identities allow us to give some congruences concerning Fibonacci and Lucas numbers such as L2mn＋k ≡（-1）（m＋1）nLk（modLm）, F2mn＋k ≡（-1）（m＋1）nFk （modLm）, L2mn＋k ≡ （-1）mn Lk（mod Fm） and F2mn＋k≡ （-1）mn Fk （mod Fm）. By the achieved identities, divisibility properties of Fibonacci and Lueas numbers are given. Then it is proved that there is no Lucas number Ln such that Ln = L2ktLmx2 for m 〉 1 and k≥1. Moreover it is proved that Ln = LmLr is impossible if m and r are positive integers greater than 1. Also, a conjecture concerning with the subject is given.
