NEW IDENTITIES FOR THE COMMON FACTORS OF BALANCING AND LUCAS-BALANCING NUMBERS [PDF]

International Journal of Pure and Apllied Mathematics, 2013
Balancing numbers n and balancers r are originally defined as the solution of the Diophantine equation 1 + 2 + ··· + (n − 1) = (n + 1) + (n + 2) + ··· + (n + r). If n is a balancing number, then 8n 2 + 1 is a perfect square. Further, If n is a balancing number then the positive square root of 8n 2 + 1 is called a Lucas-balancing number.

Circular Innovations in Complex Systems: A Blueprint of Four Design Archetypes

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular innovations (CI), defined as the redesign of products, services or practices to minimise waste, reduce resource use and regenerate natural systems, are essential for advancing the circular economy. Despite growing recognition, their deployment in systems of linked parts with unpredictable interactions (complex systems) remains limited

A note on the generalized bi-periodic Lucas-balancing numbers

BRAZILIAN ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS
In this study, we introduce a new class of integers called the sequence of generalized bi-periodic Lucas-balancing numbers, which extends the well-known sequence of Lucas-balancing numbers. We present several fundamental properties, including the deduction of the corresponding generating function, as well as homogeneous and non-homogeneous recurrence ...

The Dynamics‐of‐Value‐in‐Consumption of Recycled Textile Materials

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigate how the perceived value of recycled textile materials evolves across the consumption cycle, a key issue for recycling‐based strategies seeking to close the loop in the fashion industry. We employ a qualitative design combining an exploratory study and a longitudinal study with three interview waves, in which participants ...

Diversity, Inclusion, and Firm Performance: The Corporate Innovation Channel

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines whether corporate innovation—measured both as general innovative output and as environmental innovation—mediates the relationship between diversity and inclusion (D&I) and corporate financial performance (CFP). Prior research has documented positive, negative, and null associations between D&I and financial outcomes, but ...

Screening of bispecific antibodies during single cell cloning of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines to improve titer and product quality

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Development of therapeutic bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) poses significant manufacturability challenges associated with correct chain pairing and an increased diversity of impurities. Here we address this with a product quality assessment during cell line development (CLD), forgoing the need for genetic characterization during cell line ...

The Role of Objective Financial Situation and Psychological Outlook in the Relationship Between Personal Life Shocks and Financial Well‐Being

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 632-654, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Existing research examines the relationship between personal life shocks and financial well‐being primarily through the lens of objective markers of the individual's financial situation (e.g., liquidity). Little attention has been paid to the relative roles of these objective markers and more intuitive or affect‐based factors in how an ...
