Parity of the multiplicative order of 2 modulo p

Let $\operatorname{ord}_p(2)$ be the order of 2 in the multiplicative group modulo $p$. Let $A$ be the subset of primes $p$ where $\operatorname{ord}_p(2)$ is odd, and let $B$ be the subset of primes $...

Cardinality of $\{ n_i + i^k: i \in \mathbb{N} \} \cap [1,T]$ where $\{n_i \}$ is all natural numbers in some order

Let $n_1, n_2, ...$ be a sequence of natural numbers such that $\{n_i: i \in \mathbb{N}\}$ as a set is all of natural numbers. Let $k$ be a positive integer. Is is possible to obtain a lower bound of ...

Numbers $n$ whose representation as the product of two divisors require more digits than that of $n$

Note: Posting in MO since it was unanswered in MSE Let $f(x)$ be the number of digits in the decimal representation of $x$ e.g. $, f(0) = 1, f(1729) = 4$. If $n = ab$ then we can show that $f(ab) > ...

What is the asymptotic of the irregular blue curve? Is it $(8x)^{1/2}$ or is it something else?

From Terry Tao's post here there is the statement: "Conversely, if one can somehow establish a bound of the form $$\displaystyle \sum_{n \leq x} \Lambda(n) = x + O( x^{1/2+\epsilon} ) \tag{1}$$ ...

On smoothness and roughness of a number related to triangular numbers

Define $\triangle_n$ to be the $n$th triangular number. Define $$M_n=(2\triangle_n-1)2\triangle_n(2\triangle_n+1)=2\triangle_n(4\triangle_n^2-1).$$ Define $(\ell,k)$-smough numbers to be numbers that ...

Asymptotic of $\sum_{k=1}^n \operatorname{rad}(k!)$ and similar deductions

We denote for integers $m>1$ the product of the distinct prime numbers dividing $m$ as $$\operatorname{rad}(m)=\prod_{\substack{p\mid m\\p\text{ prime}}}p,$$ with the definition $\operatorname{rad}(...

Infinite difference length of integer subsets

Let $A$ be a set of integers. In our recent researches, we've faced to the following property and definition: We say $A$ has infinite difference length, if (a) For every integer $n$ there exist a ...

Elementary description to count of perfect squares - I

Is there an elementary description of $$N(a)=\Big|\Big\{x\in\{0,1,\dots,\Big\lfloor\frac a2\Big\rfloor-1,\Big\lfloor\frac a2\Big\rfloor\Big\}:\sqrt{x(a-x)}\in\Bbb Z\}\Big|$$ and though likely non-...

Sieving the values of an arithmetic sequence which is infinitely many times $1$

I have a sequence of positive integers $a_n$ which assumes infinitely many times the value $1$. I want to estimate the cardinality of the following set: $$\#\{n\leq x : a_n>1 \text{ and } (a_n, \...

Elementary description to count of perfect squares - II

What can we say about growth of smallest gap $g(a)$ which is the smallest $|x-y|$ where $0\leq x,y\leq\Big\lfloor\frac a2\Big\rfloor$ and $\sqrt{x(a-x)},\sqrt{y(a-y)}\in\Bbb Z$? Is $g(a)=1\iff a=b^2+...

Equi-distribution of the parity of partitions

The integer partition function $p(n)$ has a generating function given by $$\frac1{(q)_{\infty}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}p(n)q^n$$ with $(q)_{\infty}=\prod_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^m)$. The long-standing problem ...
