Elliptic curve sequences needed for universal forgery

Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) admits universal forgery (UF) if the Attacker can solve the equation $$z=\frac{f_{k-1}(x,y)f_{k+1}(x,y)}{f_{k}(x,y)^2},$$ where $k$ is unknown, $f_{k}...

Is there a name for this operation on integer functions?

Suppose $f$ and $g$ are functions from $\mathbb N^+$ to itself. I want to consider the function $f^g$, where $f^g(n) = f \circ \dots \circ f(n)$, where composition is done $g(n)$-many times. Note ...

Permutation of a sequence, such that $y_i+y_{i+1}$ are all distinct

The sequence $x_1, x_2, ..., x_n$ of positive integers contains at least $\frac {2n}{3}+1$ distinct numbers and each of them appears at most three times. How to prove that there is a permutation $y_1, ...

Does the divergent solution of this equation :$f'=e^{f^{-1}}$ of Gevrey type and could be Borel summation applied for it?

This question was asked here in MO by someone seeking for the solution of the functional -differential:$f'=e^{f^{-1}}$ not exactly an O.D.E, and again here seeking for the growth rate of it solution ...

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 ...

Raggedness measure of a sequence

This surely has been done, maybe I googled the wrong adjective... Define a raggedness measure $r$ of a sequence $S$ in this way: Two members $S_i,S_j$ of the sequence (who don't have to be adjacent!) ...

Question related to sequence of recurrence relation $a_k=\operatorname{rad}(a_{k-1}+a_{k-2})$ for $k\ge 2$ where $a_0=0,a_1=1$

Define radical of an integer Wiki $$\displaystyle{\mathrm{rad}}(n)=\prod_{{\scriptstyle p\mid n\atop p\:{\text{prime}}}}p$$ Example $n=504=2^3\cdot3^2\cdot7$ therefore ${\displaystyle \operatorname{...

Polynomials of integer coefficients that evaluated at Mersenne or Fermat numbers produce square-free integers

Mersenne numbers $M_n=2^n-1$ and Fermat numbers $F_n=2^{2^n}+1$ draw the attention of professional mathematicians to get prime constellations or statements related to primality tests for these ...
