Extended Midy's Theorem

Authors: Bassam Abdul-Baki
Comments: 5 Pages.

In mathematics, Midy's theorem, named after French mathematician E. Midy, is a statement about the decimal expansion of fractions a/p where p is a prime and a/p has a repeating decimal expansion with an even period. If the period of the decimal representation of a/p is 2n, then the digits in the second half of the repeating decimal period are the 9s complement of the corresponding digits in its first half. The Extended Midy's Theorem states that if the repeating portion of the decimal expansion of a/p is divided into k-digit numbers, then their sum is a multiple of 10^k − 1.

A List of 13 Sequences of Carmichael Numbers Based on the Multiples of the Number 30

Authors: Marius Coman
Comments: 4 Pages.

The applications of the multiples of the number 30 in the study of Fermat pseudoprimes was for a long time one of my favourite subject of study; in this paper I shall list 13 sequences that I discovered, many of them, if not all of them, having probably an infinity of terms that are Carmichael numbers. I posted many of them on OEIS, where I analized more of their attributes; here I’ll just list them, enumerate their first few terms and present few conjectures.

Simulation of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) using Fuzzy Logic

Authors: Ziaul Hassan Serneabat, Nabila Chowdhury, A.K.M. Masud
Comments: 13 Pages.

This paper focuses on the simulation of the flexible manufacturing system. Flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) are production systems consisting of identical multipurpose numerically controlled machines (workstations), automated material handling system, tools, load and unload stations, inspection stations, storage areas and a hierarchical control system. The model will prioritize the job and select the best alternative route with multi-criteria scheduling through an approach based on a fuzzy logic. There are three criteria for both the job sequencing and routing with 27 rules. With the help of the rules the sequence of the jobs are done and the best route is selected.

Connections Between the Three Prime Factors of 3-Carmichael Numbers

Authors: Marius Coman
Comments: 5 Pages.

It was always obvious to me that, beside Korselt’s criterion, that gives a relation between any prime factor of a Carmichael number and the number itself, there must be a relation between the prime factors themselves; here I present a conjecture on the Carmichael numbers with three prime factors expressing the larger two prime factors as a function of the smallest one and few particular cases of connections between all three prime factors.

An Interesting and Unexpected Property of Carmichael Numbers and a Question

Authors: Marius Coman
Comments: 2 Pages.

I was researching a kind of generalized Cunningham chains that generate, instead of primes, Fermat pseudoprimes to some base when purely by chance I noticed a property of absolute Fermat pseudoprimes, equally interesting and unexpected. By a childish simple operation, a new class of numbers is obtained from Carmichael numbers.

Le Théorème de Fermat-Wiles et le Critère de Eisenstein

Authors: Ahmed Idrissi Bouyahyaoui
Comments: 4 Pages. A summary is in English and the article is in French.

Let P(X) a polynomial associated to the Fermat equation x^p+y^p-z^p=0 (p is an odd prime number) and R(X) its reduction modulo k (k is a prime number): R(X)= P(X) [k]. R(X) is irreducible (Eisenstein criterion) and, therefore, P(X) is irreducible. P(X) being irreducible, it hasn't integer roots and so the associated equation x^p+y^p-z^p=0 hasn't nonzero integer solutions for all p an odd prime number.
