Estimate on sum of squares of multinomial coefficients

I am interested in approximating the sum of the squares of the multinomial coefficients, i.e. $a_\ell^p := \sum_{k_0+\ldots+k_p = \ell} (\frac{\ell!}{k_0! \ldots k_p!})^2$ or more general, $a_\...

Using Quotient of Prime Numbers to Approximation Reals

We know a positive rational number can be uniquely written as $m/n$ where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Particularly, we can pick out those numbers with $m$ and $n$ both prime. Question ...

Variant of Fermat's last theorem

By Fermat's last theorem, the equation $u^3+v^3=w^3$ has no solutions in positive integers $u,v,w$. Now consider the following variant : call $\rho(x)$ the distance between $x$ and the nearest integer,...

Density of the set of numbers that are "good approximators" to a given real in the sense of Dirichlet's approximation theorem

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of positive integers. Given a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ we let the (upper) density of $A$ be defined by $$\mu^+(A) = \lim\sup_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap\{1,\ldots,n\}|}{n}.$...
