چکیده

Define a k to be the smallest positive multiple of k such that the sum of its digits in base q is equal to k. The asymptotic behavior, lower and upper bound estimates of a k are investigated. A characterization of the minimality condition is also considered. A positive integer n is a Niven number (or a Harshad number) if it is divisible by the sum of its (decimal) digits. For instance, 2007 is a Niven number since 9 divides 2007. A q-Niven number is an integer k which is divisible by the sum of its base q digits, call it s q (k) (if q = 2, we shall use s(k) for s 2 (k)). Niven numbers have been extensively studied by various just to cite a few of the most recent works). In this paper, we define a natural sequence in relation to q-Niven numbers. For a fixed but arbitrary k ∈ N and a base q ≥ 2, one may ask whether or not there exists a q-Niven

Remarks on a Sequence of Minimal Niven Numbers

In this short note we introduce two new sequences defined using the sum of digits in the representation of an integer in a certain base. A connection to Niven numbers is proposed and some results are proven. Mathematics Subject Classification: 11A07, 11B75, 11L20, 11N25, 11N37, 11Y55

A Partial Asymptotic Formula for the Niven Numbers

A Niven number is a positive integer that is divisible by its digital sum. That is, if n is an integer and s(n) denotes the digital sum of n, then n is a Niven number if and only if sin) is a factor of n. This idea was introduced in [1] and investigated further in [2], [3], and [4]. One of the questions about the set N of Niven numbers was the status of -. . Njx) lim ——^5 x->-<» X where Nix) de...

On a special class of Stanley-Reisner ideals

For an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the Betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. In this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and Betti numbers of the $S$-module $S/I$ where  $S=K[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $I$ is the associated ideal to ...

Lactobacillus viridescens nov. spec., a heterofermentative species that produces a green discoloration of cured meat pigments.

Niven et al. (1949) described, but did not name, a new species of heterofermentative lactobacillus that frequently is the cause of greening of cured meat pigments. These organisms were found to be physiologically and serologically homogeneous, and have been found widely distributed in and on cured meat products (Niven, 1951). Members of this species have been found to possess some rather unusua...
