In Morocco, at the International Conference in Algebra, Number Theory and Their Applications,

we consider the Diophantine equation made up of linear recurrences and powers of primes. I will briefly outline results from students from B. Ha, L. McBeath, and L. Velasco in which they prove the existence of an effectively computable upper-bound on the non-negative integer solutions of a family of Diophantine equations, extending work of Pink and Ziegler, Mazumdar and Rout, Meher and Rout, and another result of Ziegler.

After a quick introduction of myself, we will briefly explore factoradic happy numbers. Then I will outline the proof that there exist arbitrarily long sequences of e-power factoradic p-happy numbers for e=1, 2, 3, 4.

An invited Colloquium talk with the University of Kentucky. Contact me to request access.

You might wonder what card tricks have to do with happy numbers and how numbers can be happy in the first place. Come and out! During the EPaDel MAA Fall Section Meeting I'll explain what the connection is and show you some neat results about sequences of happy numbers. Register to join.
