This is a compendium of generating functions involving single, double sums and definite integrals. These generating functions also involve special functions in both the summand function and closed form solution.
We give a sufficient combinatorial condition for the non-negativity of the coefficients of polynomial quotients of products of $q$-integers, also known as cyclotomic generating functions (CGFs). This slightly extends work by Iano-Fletcher,…
We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…
These are classified by the direction of approximation (from above or below), the set family types (partition or covering) of simple functions, the coefficient signature (non-negative or signed), and cardinal number of terms of simple…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the interlacing of the zeros of cylinder functions and their derivatives of different orders are given.
The problem of recovering a moment-determinate multivariate function $f$ via its moment sequence is studied. Under mild conditions on $f$, the point-wise and $L_1$-rates of convergence for the proposed constructions are established. The…
In this paper, we discuss when a class function on a finite group is a bent function. We have found a necessary condition for a class function on a finite abelian group to be bent. Also, we have found a necessary and sufficient condition…
The aim of this paper is to give an existence result for a class of one-dimensional, non-convex, non-coercive problems in the Calculus of Variations. The main tools for the proof are an existence theorem in the convex case and the closure…
De Giorgi conjectured in 1979 that if a sequence of functionals converges in the sense of Gamma-convergence to a limiting functional, then the corresponding gradient flows will converge as well after changing timescale appropriately. It is…
Time evolution equations for dynamical systems can often be derived from generating functionals. Examples are Newton's equations of motion in classical dynamics which can be generated within the Lagrange or the Hamiltonian formalism. We…
We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a probability measure on $\mathbb{N}_0$, the nonnegative integers, whose first $n$ moments are a given $n$-tuple of nonnegative real numbers. The results, based on finding an…
We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on a function in order that it be the Laplace transform of an absolutely monotonic function. Several closely related results are also given.
We consider random coefficient autoregressive models of infinite order (AR($\infty$)) under the assumption of non-negativity of the coefficients. We develop novel methods yielding sufficient or necessary conditions for finiteness of…
By identifying a family of corner cutting schemes as a dimension elevation process of Gelfond-Bezier curves, we give a Muntz type condition for the convergence of the generated control polygons to the underlying curve. The surprising…
In this paper a necessary and sufficient condition is deduced for the close-to-convexity of a cross product of Bessel and modified Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives by using a result of Shah and Trimble about…
We present a short proof of Cantor's Theorem (circa 1870s): if $a_n \cos nx + b_n \sin nx \to 0$ for each $x$ in some (nonempty) open interval, where $a_n, b_n$ are sequences of complex numbers, then $a_n$ and $b_n$ converge to 0.
In a recent paper, Merca posed three conjectures on congruences for specific convolutions of a sum of odd divisor functions with a generating function for generalized $m$-gonal numbers. Extending Merca's work, we complete the proof of these…
We establish a general method for simultaneously perturbing a convergent sequence of functions in such a way that the sequence of strong minima of the perturbed functions tend to the strong minimum of their limit.
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
One-way functions are used in modern cryto-systems as doortraps because their inverse functions are supposed to be difficult to compute. Nonetheless with the discovery of reversible computation, it seems that one may break a one-way…
