Avoiding Negative Numbers and Complex Numbers Thanks to the Study of the Geometrical Nature of Some Arithmetical and Polynomial Problems

Authors: Jaime Vladimir Torres-Heredia Julca
Comments: 15 Pages. 4 figures

In this paper we will see that we can avoid the concepts of negative number and complex number thanks to the study of the underlying vector nature of some arithmetic and polynomial problems. We will see that the geometrical models used until now to represent negative numbers and complex numbers and their operations are not just interpretations or models. Translations, rotations and homotheties are what we need to solve several problems. We will see that what we call "negative numbers" and "complex numbers" are just the solutions of vector calculations and equations. All that is the consequence of the fact that geometrical considerations are unavoidable when we think about debts and gains and when we try to solve some polynomial equations. Those considerations are linked to a geometrical system with symmetries and a center. We will see that thanks to the solutions of those vector equations we can construct paths in the plane. We will also give the vector meaning of the formulas of De Moivre and Euler. An interpretation of the vertical axis linked to gains and losses will also be given.

Coinciden[tal Number ?]

Comments: 1 Page. (Note by viXra Admin: Please refrain from using incredulous expression in a scholarly article!)

I was just about floored when I did this meaningless calculation and wondered if anyone else had seen it before or anything even remotely like it. It has no physical significance as far as I can tell u2026 but u2026 wow u2026

The General Solution of Sextic Equations in Terms of Fractional Sequences

Authors: Zhi Li, Hua Li
Comments: 11 Pages.

This paper reports a general solution for the sextic equations, which is an explicit power series oftwo parameters and fit for equations with real and/or complex coefficients.The general sextic equation can be simplified by the Tschirnhausen transformations andexpressed with four items in a type, called normal type. And it can further be simplified with onlytwo non-constant coefficients into a form, called standard form. This fact means that theresolution of the sextic is a problem of two degree of freedoms.There are totally 10 types and each type contains 6 forms. Among the total 60 forms, eachcorrespondents to a power series, the coefficients in most of series are fractional sequences,some integer sequences.If the series converges, the solution is found. Otherwise, successive Tschirnhausentransformations can be employed to obtain a series of new forms until the condition ofconvergence is satisfied. And then a reverse procedure is needed to find an original root. Theexperiment results show that it is always possible to satisfy the convergence condition and findthe roots of transformed equations after several iterations.The convergence of power series in all the 60 forms are different. The most favorite type andform are recommended.Similar method can be used to the resolution of higher degree of polynomial equations.

On the Classical Explicit Formula for Bernoulli Numbers

Authors: Abdelhay Benmoussa
Comments: 5 Pages.

This paper presents a proof of the classical explicit formula for Bernoulli numbers, expressed as a sum involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. The approach follows a combinatorial and polynomial comparison method similar to that used by Maurice d'Ocagne. Starting from the explicit formula of Stirling numbers and using known relations with falling factorials, we derive the closed-form expression

Canonical Envelopes: A Mathematical Framework for Virtual Weighted Limits and Completion Theory

Authors: Robert A. Rice
Comments: 49 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

This work introduces canonical envelope theory as a mathematical framework for understanding completion phenomena in category theory and related mathematical disciplines. Buildingon Shulman’s and Riehl’s characterization of weighted limits through natural transformationsθ : Q ⇒ C(D, E) [32; 33], we demonstrate that numerous completion constructions—includingcanonical extensions, topological compactifications, categorical completions, and constructions in algebraic geometry—can be understood as instances of factorization through virtual weighted (co)limiting structures.Our main theoretical contribution identifies canonical envelopes as initial objects in categories of factorizations of appropriately constructed pairings. The (heuristic) classification θ = id versus θ ̸= id distinguishes internal completion from external mediation. We establish existence criteria through bilateral denseness and compactness conditions, providing systematic construction procedures for a range of mathematical contexts.The framework encompasses several major completion constructions through classificationtables. Virtual weighted limits extend Gabriel-Ulmer methodology [9] from filtered/cofiltereddiagrams to arbitrary weights, enabling systematic treatment of incomplete categorical frameworks. We introduce and develop "gem theory" as a systematic classification of mathematical structures according to their bilateral completion properties. Key results include the pullback characterization showing that canonical interpolants are categorically determined, bilateral envelope structure capturing fundamental duality patterns, andsystematic organization through a canonical envelope pseudomonad. The theory suggests deepcategorical principles underlying mathematical completion while providing practical methodology for discovering canonical constructions in various mathematical contexts.

A Critical Review and Correction of Karim Ghariani's Karimation

Authors: Abdelhay Benmoussa
Comments: 6 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

In 2009, Tunisian media celebrated a 19-year-old student, Karim Ghariani, for proposing a method—referred to as emph{Karimation}—that claimed to simplify the direct computation of Bernoulli numbers. Despite local acclaim, his approach, archived on platforms such as Wikiversity but never formally peer-reviewed, contains gaps and minor errors. This paper revisits Karim's main integral formula involving Bernoulli polynomials and Stirling numbers, identifies a critical flaw in differentiating under an integral with a fixed upper bound, and provides a rigorous correction by extending the integral to a continuous upper limit. We conclude that while the original method does not present fundamentally new results, the episode highlights the importance of mathematical rigor and peer review, as well as the value of encouraging youthful mathematical curiosity.
