This article studies the existence of elements $$alpha $$ in finite fields $$mathbb {F}_{q^n}$$ such that both $$alpha $$ and its inverse $$alpha ^{-1}$$ are r-primitive and k-normal over $$mathbb {F}_q$$ . We define a characteristic function for the set of k-normal elements and use it to establish a sufficient condition for the existence of the desired pair $$(alpha ,alpha ^{-1})$$ . Moreover, we find that for $$nge 7$$ , there always exists a pair $$(alpha ,alpha ^{-1})$$ of 1-primitive and 1-normal elements in $$mathbb {F}_{q^n}$$ over $$mathbb {F}_q$$ . Additionally, we obtain that for $$n=5,6$$ , if $$textrm{gcd}(q,n)=1$$ , there always exists such a pair in $$mathbb {F}_{q^n}$$ , except for the field $$mathbb {F}_{4^5}$$ .

Abstract Let S be a finite, fixed set of primes. In this paper, we show that the set of integers c which have at least two representations as a difference between a factorial and an S -unit is finite and effectively computable. In particular, we find all integers that can be written in at least two ways as a difference of a factorial and an S -unit associated with the set of primes $${2,3,5,7}$$ {2,3,5,7} .

In this paper, we define some weighted sums of the alternating multiple T-values (AMTVs) and study several duality formulas for them. Then we introduce the alternating version of the convoluted T-values and Kaneko–Tsumura $$psi $$ -function, which are proved to be closely related to the AMTVs. At the end of the paper, we study the $$mathbb {Q}$$ -vector space generated by the AMTVs of any fixed weight w and provide some evidence for the conjecture that their dimensions $${d_w}_{wge 1}$$ form the tribonacci sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, 13, ....
