A positive integer $n$ is said to be a palindrome in base $b$ (or $b$-adic palindrome) if the representation of $n = (a_k a_{k-1} \cdots a_0)_b$ in base $b$ with $a_k \neq 0$ has the symmetric property $a_{k-i} = a_i$ for every $i=0,1,2,\ldots ,k$. Let $s_b$ be the reciprocal sum of all $b$-adic palindromes. It is not difficult to show that $s_b$ converges. In this article, we obtain upper and lower bounds for $s_b$ and the inequality $s_{b} <s_{b'}$ for $2\leq b<b'$. Its consequences and some…

• 2021
A new estimate is obtained concerning the fractional part of n α and the sumsets associated with Wythoff sequences are studied to show that every positive integer n can be written as a sum of two terms in B ( α).
Sums of divisors on arithmetic progressions
For each s ∈ R and n ∈ N, let σs(n) = ∑ d|n d . In this article, we give a comparison between σs(an+ b) and σs(cn+ d) where a, b, c, d, s are fixed, the vectors (a, b) and (c, d) are linearly

Exact Formulas for the Number of Palindromes up to a Given Positive Integer
Let n ≥ 0 and b ≥ 2 be integers. Then n is said to be a palindrome in base b (or b-adic palindrome) if n = 0 or n ≥ 1 and the representation of n = (akak−1 · · · a1a0)b in base b with ak 6= 0 has the
