Asequence{d,d+l...., d f m -1) of m consecutive positive integers is said to be perfect if the integers {1,2, . . . , 2m} can be arranged in disjoint pairs {(q, bi): 1 si G m} so that {bi-a,: l~i~m}={d,d+l,..., d+m-1). A sequence is hooked if the set {1,2,...,2m-1,2m + 1) can be arranged in pairs to

We study the values of arithmetic functions taken on the elements of a non-homogeneous Beatty sequence Ξ±n + Ξ² , n = 1, 2, . . . , where Ξ±, Ξ² β R, and Ξ± > 0 is irrational. For example, we show that where Ξ©(k) and Ο(k) denote the number of prime divisors of an integer k = 0 counted with and without m
A k-extended Langford sequence of defect d and length m is a sequence s 1 , s 2 , ..., s 2m+1 in which s k ==, where = is the null symbol, and each other member of the sequence comes from the set [d, d+1, ..., d+m&1]. Each j # [d, d+1, ..., d+m&1] occurs exactly twice in the sequence, and the two oc
Let g(x, n), with x Β₯ R + , be a step function for each n. Assuming certain technical hypotheses, we give a constant a and function f such that ; . n=1 g(x, n) can be written in the form a+; 0 < r < x f(r), where the summation is extended over all points in (0, x) at which some g( β’ , n) is not cont
