Full paper (PDF, 199 Kb) | Abstract
The Laplacian-energy-like invariant of a finite simple graph is the sum of square roots of all its Laplacian eigenvalues and the incidence energy is the sum of square roots of all its signless Laplacian eigenvalues. In this paper, we give the bounds on the Laplacian-energy-like invariant and incidence energy of the corona and edge corona of two graphs. We also observe that the bounds on the Laplacian-energy-like invariant and incidence energy of the corona and edge corona are sharp when the graph is the corona or edge corona of two complete graphs.

Full paper (PDF, 209 Kb) | Abstract
This paper focuses on a specially constructed matrix whose entries are harmonic Fibonacci numbers and considers its Hadamard exponential matrix. A lot of admiring algebraic properties are presented for both of them. Some of them are determinant, inverse in usual and in the Hadamard sense, permanents, some norms, etc. Additionally, a MATLAB-R2016a code is given to facilitate the calculations and to further enrich the content.

A divisor
of a positive integer
is called a unitary divisor if
and
is called a bi-unitary divisor of
if the greatest common unitary divisor of
and
is unity. The concept of a bi-unitary divisor is due to D. Surynarayana (1972). Let
denote the sum of the bi-unitary divisors of
. A positive integer
is called a bi-unitary multiperfect number if
for some
. For
we obtain the bi-unitary triperfect numbers.
Peter Hagis (1987) proved that there are no odd bi-unitary multiperfect numbers. The present paper is part IV(c) in a series of papers on even bi-unitary multiperfect numbers. In parts I, II and III we determined all bi-unitary triperfect numbers of the form 
, where 
and 
is odd. In part V we fixed the case 
. The case 
is more difficult. In Parts IV(a-b) we solved partly this case, and in the present paper (Part IV(c)) we continue the study of the same case ().

Full paper (PDF, 1147 Kb) | Abstract
In the present paper we provide a formula that allows to compute the number of stable digits of any integer tetration base
. The number of stable digits, at the given height of the power tower, indicates how many of the last digits of the (generic) tetration are frozen. Our formula is exact for every tetration base which is not coprime to
, although a maximum gap equal to
digits (where
denotes the constant congruence speed of
) can occur, in the worst-case scenario, between the upper and lower bound. In addition, for every
which is not a multiple of
, we show that
corresponds to the
-adic or
-adic valuation of
or
, or even to the
-adic order of
, depending on the congruence class of
modulo

Full paper (PDF, 196 Kb) | Abstract
In this paper, we define and investigate the generalized Pisano sequences and we deal with, in detail, two special cases, namely, Pisano and Pisano–Lucas sequences. We present Binet’s formulas, generating functions and Simson’s formulas for these sequences. Moreover, we give some identities and matrices associated with these sequences. Furthermore, we show that there are close relations between Pisano and Pisano–Lucas numbers and modified Oresme, Oresme–Lucas and Oresme numbers.

Full paper (PDF, 592 Kb) | Abstract
This paper builds on Roettger and Williams’ extensions of the primordial Lucas sequence to consider some relations among difference equations of different orders. This paper utilises some of their second and third order recurrence relations to provide an excursion through basic second order sequences and related third order recurrence relations with a variety of numerical illustrations which demonstrate that mathematical notation is a tool of thought.

An introduction to harmonic complex numbers and harmonic hybrid Fibonacci numbers: A unified approach
Original research paper. Pages 542–557
Emel Karaca and Fatih Yılmaz
Full paper (PDF, 230 Kb) | Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to define and construct new number systems, called the harmonic complex Fibonacci sequences (HCF) and the harmonic hybrid Fibonacci (HHF) sequences. These sequences are defined by inspiring the well-known harmonic and hybrid numbers in literature. We give some fundamental definitions and theorems about these sequences in detail. Moreover, we examine some algebraic properties such as Binet-like-formula, partial sums related to these sequences. Finally, we provide a Maple 13 source code to verify the sequences easily.
