By work of Bringmann, Ono, and Rhoades it is known that the generating function of the $M_2$-rank of partitions without repeated odd parts is the so-called holomorphic part of a certain harmonic Maass form. Here we improve the standing of…

We show how the combined use of the generating function method and of the theory of multivariable Hermite polynomials is naturally suited to evaluate integrals of gaussian functions and of multiple products of Hermite polynomials.

We have formulated a generating function for the Hermite polynomials by comparing two expressions of the same coherent states attached to planar Landau levels. A first expression is obtained by generalizing the canonical coherent states…

We study several-matrix models and show that when the potential is convex and a small perturbation of the Gaussian potential, the first order correction to the free energy can be expressed as a generating function for the enumeration of…

Additive tree functionals represent the cost of many divide-and-conquer algorithms. We derive the limiting distribution of the additive functionals induced by toll functions of the form (a) n^\alpha when \alpha > 0 and (b) log n (the…

We consider the Anderson polymer partition function $$ u(t):=\mathbb{E}^X\Bigl[e^{\int_0^t \mathrm{d}B^{X(s)}_s}\Bigr]\,, $$ where $\{B^{x}_t\,;\, t\geq0\}_{x\in\mathbb{Z}^d}$ is a family of independent fractional Brownian motions all with…

This work reports and classifies the most general construction of rational quantum potentials in terms of the generalized Hermite polynomials. This is achieved by exploiting the intrinsic relation between third-order shape-invariant…

We consider the Dubrovin--Frobenius manifold of rank $2$ whose genus expansion at a special point controls the enumeration of a higher genera generalization of the Catalan numbers, or, equivalently, the enumeration of maps on surfaces,…

Catalytic equations appear in several combinatorial applications, most notably in the numeration of lattice path and in the enumeration of planar maps. The main purpose of this paper is to show that the asymptotic estimate for the…

Let $\bar{p}(n)$ denote the overpartition function. In this paper, we study the asymptotic higher order $\log$-concavity property of the overpatition function in a similar framework done by Hou and Zhang for the partition function. This…

We consider sequences of integers defined by a system of linear inequalities with integer coefficients. We show that when the constraints are strong enough to guarantee that all the entries are nonnegative, the generating function for the…

For branching processes, the generating functions for limit distributions of so-called ratios of probabilities of rare events satisfy the Schr\"oder-type integral-functional equations. Excepting limited special cases, the corresponding…

We consider asymptotics of power series coefficients of rational functions of the form $1/Q$ where $Q$ is a symmetric multilinear polynomial. We review a number of such cases from the literature, chiefly concerned either with positivity of…

A popular Bayesian nonparametric approach to survival analysis consists in modeling hazard rates as kernel mixtures driven by a completely random measure. In this paper we derive asymptotic results for linear and quadratic functionals of…

We introduce a new set of prime numbers functions including an exact Generating Function and a Discriminating Function of Prime Numbers neither based on prime number tables nor on algorithms. Instead these functions are defined in terms of…

We investigate depoissonization, the problem of recovering asymptotics of sequence coefficients from their exponential generating function. Classical approaches rely on complex-analytic growth conditions, but here we develop real-variable…

This paper combines probabilistic and algebraic techniques for computing quantum expectations of operator exponentials (and their products) of quadratic forms of quantum variables in Gaussian states. Such quadratic-exponential functionals…

For random matrix ensembles with unitary symmetry, there is interest in the large $N$ form of the moments of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomial for their relevance to the Riemann zeta function on the critical line, and to…

A redundant generating function is a generating function having terms which are not part of the solution of the original problem. We use redundant generating functions to study two path problems. In the first application we explain a…

We provide a complete combinatorial and asymptotic analysis of positive linear systems of equations in one catalytic variable that appear in several combinatorial problems such as in lattice path counting or stack-sortable permutation…
