Laudano, Francesco – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We introduce the concept of the "sequence of the ratios of convex quadrilaterals," identify some properties of these sequences and use them to provide new characterizations for some classic quadrilateral families. The research involves aspects of geometry, arithmetic and mathematical analysis, which converge to produce the results.

Chen, Alex; Chen, Hongwei – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
Based on the generating functions, for any positive integers "n" and "k", identities are established and the explicit formula for a[subscript i](k) in terms of Fibonomial coefficients are presented. The corresponding results are extended to some other famous sequences including Lucas and Pell sequences.

Liu, Ai-Qi; Li, Guo-Fu; Guo, Bai-Ni; Qi, Feng – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
The function 1 divided by "x"[superscript 2] minus "e"[superscript"-x"] divided by (1 minus "e"[superscript"-x"])[superscript 2] for "x" greater than 0 is proved to be strictly decreasing. As an application of this monotonicity, the logarithmic concavity of the function "t" divided by "e"[superscript "at"] minus "e"[superscript"(a-1)""t"] for "a"…
