Let $N(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;n)$ and $T(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;n)$ count the representations of $n$ as $a_1x_1^2+a_2x_2^2+a_3x_3^2+a_4x_4^2+a_5x_5^2$ and $a_1X_1(X_1+1)/2+a_2X_2(X_2+1)/2+a_3X_3(X_3+1)/2+a_4X_4(X_4+1)/2+a_5X_5(X_5+1)/2$, respectively, where $a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5$ are positive integers, $x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5$ are integers and $n,X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5$ are nonnegative integers. In this paper, we establish some new relations between $N(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;n)$ and $T(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;n)$. Also, we prove that $T(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;n)$ is a linear combination of $N(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;m)$ and $N(a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_5;m/4)$, where $m=8n+a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5$, for various values of $a_1,a_2,a_3,$ $a_4,a_5$.

In this paper, we will derive the explicit formulae for Chebyshev polynomials of the third and fourth kind with odd and even indices using the combinatorial method. Similar results are also deduced for their r-th derivatives. Finally, some identities involving Chebyshev polynomials of the third and fourth kind with even and odd indices and Fibonacci polynomials with negative indices are obtained.

We study existence of a solution of the arithmetical equation $fast h = g$ in $f,$ where $fast h$ is the Dirichlet convolution of arithmetical functions $f$ and $h,$ and derive an explicit expression for the solution. As applications we obtain expressions for the Möbius function $mu$ and the so-called totients. As applications we also present our results on the arithmetical equation $fast h = g$ in the language of Cauchy convolution and further deconvolution in discrete linear systems.

Different number systems have been studied lately. Recently, many researchers have considered the hybrid numbers which are generalization of the complex, hyperbolic and dual number systems. In this paper, we define the hybrid hyper-Fibonacci and hyper-Lucas numbers. Furthermore, we obtain some algebraic properties of these numbers such as the recurrence relations, the generating functions, the Binet’s formulas, the summation formulas, the Catalan’s identity, the Cassini’s identity and the d’Ocagne’s identity.

The set $underline{SET}(n)$ generated by an arbitrary natural number $n$, was defined in [3]. There, and in [4], some arithmetic functions and arithmetic operators of a modal type are defined over the elements of $underline{SET}(n)$. Here, over the elements of $underline{SET}(n)$ arithmetic operators of a topological type are defined and some of their basic properties are studied. Perspectives for future research are discussed.

Let $G$ be a simple graph. A vertex labeling $psi:V(G) rightarrow {1, 2,ldots,alpha}$ is called $alpha$-labeling. For an edge $uv in G$, the weight of $uv$, written $z_{psi}(uv)$, is the sum of the labels of $u$ and $v$, i.e., $z_{psi}(uv)=psi(u)+psi(v)$. A vertex $alpha$-labeling is said to be an edge irregular $alpha$-labeling of $G$ if for every two distinct edges $a$ and $b$, $z_{psi}(a) neq z_{psi}(b)$. The minimum $alpha$ for which the graph $G$ contains an edge irregular $alpha$-labeling is known as the edge irregularity strength of $G$ and is denoted by $es(G)$. In this paper, we find the exact value of edge irregularity strength of different cases of firefly graph $F_{s,t,n-2s-2t-1}$ for any $s geq 1, t geq 1, n-2s-2t-1 geq 1 $.
