A new conjecture regarding a variant of OEIS sequence A164926
In this post, we propose a conjecture based on a variant of the OEIS sequence A164926. The generic term for the original sequence was defined by T. D. Noe as the least prime such...

Length of a Cartoony Round Cloud
In this post, we again revisit the cartoony round cloud, for which we found the Cartesian equation nine years ago and the area two days ago. Here, we ask ourselves to take some steps...
Area of a Cartoony Round Cloud
In this post, we revisit the cartoony round cloud, for which we found the Cartesian equation nine years ago. Here, we ask ourselves to see what general formula is for the area of such...
On the counting of k-digit terms in increasing sequences of positive integers
In this article, we prove that the sequence of the number of k-digit terms in an increasing sequence of positive integers in a given base , satisfies the following limit of the ratios ,...
Laplace Transforms and the Conversion between Ordinary and Exponential Generating Functions
In this brief article, we prove two useful formulas for converting an ordinary generating function (OGF) of a sequence into the corresponding exponential generating function (EGF), and vice versa. These formulas utilize Laplace integral...
On the positive definiteness of a binary quadratic form
In this brief post, we present a straightforward proof of the positive definiteness of a real binary quadratic form. Theorem. A real binary quadratic form is positive definite if and only if , ,...

Vertical semicircular guide uniformly accelerated
Problem text A vertical semicircular guide, with radius and without friction, is constrained to a platform that moves with constant acceleration along the horizontal direction (see figure). A point body of mass , initially...
