Permutations $\pi\in S_{p-1}$ with $\frac1{\pi(1)\pi(2)}+\frac1{\pi(2)\pi(3)}+\cdots+\frac1{...

Not a proof, but some numerical evidence and an alternative conjecture: It is straightforward to search permutations that do the trick for each $p$. When doing that for all $5\leq p\leq101$ I have fou …

Does $\{\tau(1)\tau(2)+\cdots+\tau(n-1)\tau(n)+\tau(n)\tau(1):\ \tau\in S_n\}$ contain a uni...

No, for $n = 11$ this fails: 363 = 3 * 11^2 with [7, 2, 8, 5, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 1, 11] 484 = 2^2 * 11^2 with [10, 9, 6, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11] Running the code I wrote to check this a little more, …

How many possible values for the determinant of an $n\times n$-matrix with entries $1,2,\dot...

I answer because Federico Poloni suggested it in a comment. This sequence is in the oeis: oeis.org/A088217 I don't think the question is very well defined, what does "explicit function of $n$" mean? A …

reference request: rational points on the unit sphere

I wonder what would be a good/early reference for the fact: rational points on the unit sphere (centered at the origin) are dense. Stereographic projection (from a rational point in the sphere) …

combinatorics on cyclic sequences

Answer: No this is not true. For $m=5$, a counter example is: $(0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 0)$. In this case we have: $$\begin{align} U(1) &= \left(\begin{array}{rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr} 0 …

Arranging numbers from $1$ to $n$ such that the sum of every two adjacent numbers is a perfe...

This is a to long for a comment: Let $G(n,N)$ Micah's graph with vertices the numbers $1,..,n$ and edges $\{i,j\}$ if $i+j$ is a power of $N$. Your condition is satisfied if and only if $G$ contains …
