We establish the asymptotic zero distribution for polynomials generated by a four-term recurrence relation with varying recurrence coefficients having a particular limiting behavior. The proof is based on ratio asymptotics for these…

We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…

A function g, with domain the natural numbers, is a quasi-polynomial if there exists a period m and polynomials p_0,p_1,...,p_{m-1} such that g(t)=p_i(t) for t=i mod m. Quasi-polynomials classically -- and "reasonably" -- appear in Ehrhart…

It was observed by Bump et al. that Ehrhart polynomials in a special family exhibit properties similar to the Riemann {\zeta} function. The construction was generalized by Matsui et al. to a larger family of reflexive polytopes coming from…

We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $\alpha_n$, such that the limit $A = -\lim_n \alpha_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A > 1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an…

For a polynomial in several variables depending on some parameters, we discuss some results to the effect that for almost all values of the parameters the polynomial is irreducible. In particular we recast in this perspective some results…

For a polynomial P, we consider the sequence of iterated integrals of ln P(x). This sequence is expressed in terms of the zeros of P(x). In the special case of ln(1 + x^2), arithmetic properties of certain coefficients arising are…

The Ap\'ery polynomials are given by $$A_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2\binom{n+k}k^2x^k\ \ (n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ (Those $A_n=A_n(1)$ are Ap\'ery numbers.) Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that…

We show that any Appell sequence can be written in closed form as a forward difference transformation of the identity. Such transformations are actually multipliers in the abelian group of the Appell polynomials endowed with the operation…

Many interesting questions in arithmetic dynamics revolve, in one way or another, around the (local and/or global) reducibility behavior of iterates of a polynomial. We show that for very general families of integer polynomials $f$ (and,…

We associate to a semisimple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ a sequence of polynomials $P_{\ell,\mathfrak{g}}(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ in $r$ variables, where $r$ is the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\ell=0,1,2,\ldots $. The polynomials…

We study the zero distribution of non-orthogonal polynomials attached to $g(n)=s(n)=n^2$: \begin{equation*} Q_n^g(x)= x \sum_{k=1}^n g(k) \, Q_{n-k}^g(x), \quad Q_0^g(x):=1. \end{equation*} It is known that the case $g=id$ involves…

Tnis paper deals with some special integral transforms in the setting of quaternionic valued slice polyanalytic functions. In particular, using the polyanalytic Fueter mappings it is possible to construct a new family of polynomials which…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of a family of polynomials which are orthogonal with respect to an exponential weight on certain contours of the complex plane. The zeros of these polynomials are the nodes for complex Gaussian…

Recently the authors presented a matrix representation approach to real Appell polynomials essentially determined by a nilpotent matrix with natural number entries. It allows to consider a set of real Appell polynomials as solution of a…

We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…

We give new sufficient conditions for a sequence of polynomials to have only real zeros based on the method of interlacing zeros. As applications we derive several well-known facts, including the reality of zeros of orthogonal polynomials,…

We derive Mehler--Heine type asymptotic formulas for Charlier and Meixner polynomials, and also for their associated families. These formulas provide good approximations for the polynomials in the neighborhood of $x=0,$ and determine the…

We prove that a non-degenerate simple linear recurrence sequence $ (G_n(x))_{n=0}^{\infty} $ of polynomials satisfying some further conditions cannot contain arbitrary large powers of polynomials if the order of the sequence is at least…
