In this paper, we give identities involving cyclic sums of regularized multiple zeta values of depth less than $5$. As a corollary, we present two kinds of extensions of Hoffman's theorem for symmetric sums of multiple zeta values for this…

We use an elementary argument to prove some finite sums involving expressions of the forms $(q)_n$ and $(a;q)_n$ along with inductive formulas for some sequences.

We recast homogeneous linear recurrence sequences with fixed coefficients in terms of partial Bell polynomials, and use their properties to obtain various combinatorial identities and multifold convolution formulas. Our approach relies on a…

An identity involving symmetric sums of regularized multiple zeta-star values of harmonic type was proved by Hoffman. In this paper, we prove an identity of shuffle type. We use Bell polynomials appearing in the study of set partitions to…

We continue our investigation on pcf with weak form of choice. Characteristically we assume DC + P(Y) when looking and prod_{s in Y} delta_s. We get more parallel of theorems on pcf.

We give an intuitive combinatorial proof of Ky Fan's covering lemma based on the Borsuk-Ulam theorem. We then show how this approach can be generalized to Ky Fan's covering lemma for several linear orders.

We state and prove a general summation identity. The identity is then applied to derive various summation formulas involving the generalized harmonic numbers and related quantities. Interesting results, mostly new, are obtained for both…

We improve lower bounds on the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of pseudorandom sequences over finite fields and we establish a probabilistic result on the behavior of the $k$th-order nonlinear complexity of random sequences over finite…

We obtain lower bounds for the cardinality of $k$-fold sum-sets of reciprocals of elements of suitable defined short intervals in high degree extensions of finite fields. Combining our results with bounds for multilinear character sums we…

We consider a Fokker-Planck equation in a general domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$ with $L^p_{\mathrm{loc}}$ drift term and $W^{1,p}_{\mathrm{loc}}$ diffusion term for any $p>n$. By deriving an integral identity, we give several measure estimates…

In this note, we present a curious $q$-series identity with applications to certain partitions with bounded part differences.

We present a different proof of the following identity due to Munarini, which generalizes a curious binomial identity of Simons. \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{n}\binom{\alpha}{n-k}\binom{\beta+k}{k}x^k…

In this paper we extend the notion of Melham sum to the Pell and Pell-Lucas sequences. While the proofs of general statements rely on the binomial theorem, we prove some spacial cases by the known Pell identities. We also give extensions of…

We investigate homological stability for the space of sections of Fano fibrations over curves in the context of weak approximation, and establish it for projective bundles, as well as for conic and quadric surface bundles over curves.

We explore the relation of weak conjugacy in the group of homeomorphisms isotopic to the identity, for surfaces.

We present a generalization of a formula of higher order derivatives and give a short proof.

We introduce notions of stationarily ordered types and theories; the latter generalizes weak o-minimality and the first is a relaxed version of weak o-minimality localized at the locus of a single type. We show that forking, as a binary…

Using the spectral theory of weakly convergent sequences of finite graphs, we prove the uniform existence of the integrated density of states for a large class of infinite graphs.

We prove a duality relation for generalized basic hypergeometric functions. It forms a $q$-extension of a recent result of the second and the third named authors and generalizes both a $q$-hypergeometric identity due to the third named…

A well supported conjecture states that SIC-POVMs -- maximal sets of complex equiangular lines -- with anti-unitary symmetry give rise to an identity expressing some of its overlaps as squares of the (rescaled) components of a suitably…
