Summary

This book deals with additive combinatorics, a vibrant area of current mathematical research. Additive combinatorics ? an offspring of combinatorial number theory and additive number theory ? can be described as the study of combinatorial properties of sumsets in additive structures. It is a rather new field that is just now coming to its own; although some of its results have been known for centuries, many of its fundamental questions have only been settled recently or are still unsolved. For this and many other reasons, additive combinatorics provides an excellent area for research by students of any background: it has intriguing and promising questions for everyone.

The Realization Space of an Unstable Coalgebra

Asterisque Volume: 393
2017; 143 pp; Softcover
MSC: Primary 55;
Print ISBN: 978-2-85629-868-8

Unstable coalgebras over the Steenrod algebra form a natural target category for singular homology with prime field coefficients. The realization problem asks whether an unstable coalgebra is isomorphic to the homology of a topological space. The authors study the moduli space of such realizations and give a description of this in terms of cohomological invariants of the unstable coalgebra. This is accomplished by a thorough comparative study of the homotopy theories of cosimplicial unstable coalgebras and of cosimplicial spaces.

Fibonacci and Lucas Numbers with Applications
2nd Edition, Volume Two

ISBN: 978-1-118-74208-2
Jul 2018
736 pages
Select type: Hardcover

Description

Fibonacci and Lucas numbers have intrigued amateurs and professionals for centuries, and for the first time under one cover, this book unifies advanced properties, applications, and occurrences of the extended Fibonacci-related family. In addition, the book offers analysis of these famous integers, complete with a wealth of exciting applications, enlightening examples, and fun exercises that provide numerous opportunities for exploration and experimentation. Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers, Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers, and the corresponding univariate and bivariate polynomials are discussed. The author also details the close link between univariate Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials using differential and integral calculus and between Pell and Pell-Lucas polynomials and numbers. Extensive combinatorial interpretations of the bivariate polynomials using linear and circular tilings are provided as well as the inclusion of Fibonacci-Pell and Lucas-Pell-Lucas hybridities. Most of the chapters end with exercise sets, and brief solutions/proofs of odd-numbered exercises appear at the end of the book. Solutions to the even-numbered problems can be obtained via written request to the Publisher. The Appendix contains three tables covering the first 100 Fibonacci and Lucas numbers; the first 100 Pell and Pell-Lucas numbers; and the first 100 Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal-Lucas numbers. Topical coverage includes: Fibonacci trees; Fibonacci quadratics; Fibonacci and Lucas identities; advanced applications; Fibonacci and Lucas determinants; univariate Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials; bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas families; bivariate Pell and Jacobsthal families; combinatorial interpretations of bivariate Fibonacci and Lucas polynomials; links with Pascal's Triangle; Pell trees; Fibonacci-Pell hybridities; Pellnomial numbers; and advanced Fibonometry.
