We study cylindric partitions with two-element profiles using MacMahon's partition analysis. We find explicit formulas for the generating functions of the number of cylindric partitions by first finding the recurrences using partition analysis and then solving them. We also note some q-series identities related to these objects that show the manifestly positive nature of some alternating series. We generalize the proven identities and conjecture new polynomial refinements of Andrews-Gordon and Bressoud identities, which are companion to Foda-Quano's refinements. Finally, using a variant of the Bailey lemma, we present many new infinite hierarchies of polynomial identities.

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, ....
