In this article we solve a general class of sextic equations. The solution follows if we consider the $j$-invariant and relate it with the polynomial equation's coefficients. The form of the solution is a relation of Rogers-Ramanujan…

The Concepts of poly-Bernoulli numbers $B_n^{(k)}$, poly-Bernoulli polynomials $B_n^{k}{(t)}$ and the generalized poly-bernoulli numbers $B_{n}^{(k)}(a,b)$ are generalized to $B_{n}^{(k)}(t,a,b,c)$ which is called the generalized…

We give the Thom polynomials for the singularities I_2,2 and A_3 associated with maps (C^n,0) -> (C^{n+k},0) with parameter k>=0. We give the Schur function expansions of these Thom polynomials. Moreover, for the singularities A_i (with any…

The sum $c_0(1/k)=-\sum_{m=1}^{k-1}(m/k)\cot(m{\pi}/k)$ is related to the Estermann zeta function. A recent paper computes the first two terms of the large-$k$ asymptotic expansion of $c_0(1/k)$. Using the Poisson summation formula for…

The recurrence for the $k$-Fibonacci polynomials is usually iterated upwards to positive values of $n$ only. When the recurrence is iterated downwards to $n<0$, there are indices where the polynomials vanish identically. This fact does not…

During his lifetime, Ramanujan provided many formulae relating binomial sums to special values of the Gamma function. Based on numerical computations, Van Hamme recently conjectured $p$-adic analogues to such formulae. Using a combination…

We show that explicit forms for certain polynomials~$\psi^{(a)}_m(n)$ with the property \[ \psi^{(a+1)}_m(n) = \sum_{\nu=1}^n \psi_m^{(a)}(\nu) \] can be found (here, $a,m,n\in\mathbb{N}_0$). We use these polynomials as a basis to express…

Let $K$ be a field and $f _{n}(X) = (X + 1) ^{n} + (-1) ^{n}(X ^{n} + 1) \in K[X]$, for each $n \in \mathbb N$. This note shows that the polynomials $f _{m}(X)$ and $f _{m'}(X)$ are relatively prime, for some distinct indices $m$ and $m…

The Delannoy polynomial $D_n(x)$ is defined by $$ D_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n\choose k}{n+k\choose k}x^k. $$ We prove that, if $x$ is an integer and $p$ is a prime not dividing $x(x+1)$, then \begin{align*} \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(2k+1)D_k(x)^3…

We derive an explicit sum formula for symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Our expression contains multiple sums over the symmetric group and uses the action of Hecke generators on the ring of polynomials. In the special cases $t=1$ and $q=0$,…

Writing the values of Krawtchouk polynomials as matrices, we consider weighted partial sums along columns. For the general case, we find an identity that, in the symmetric case yields a formula for such partial sums. Complete sums of…

Let $c_q(n)$ be the Ramanujan sums. Many results concerning Ramanujan-Fourier series $f(n)=\sum_{q=1}^\infty a_q c_q (n)$ are obtained by many mathematicians. In this paper we study series of the form $f(q)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n c_q (n)$,…

We prove four new Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities for double series. They follow from the classical Rogers-Ramanujan identities using the constant term method and properties of Rogers-Szeg\H{o} polynomials.

The concept of sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC) was recently introduced as a new certificate of nonnegativity especially for sparse polynomials. In this paper, we explore the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and…

We prove two new summation formulae of Hall-Littlewood polynomials over partitions into bounded parts and derive some new multiple $q$-identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type.

We study the number of real critical points of a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{n}(x)$, that is, the real roots of $\Phi_{n}^{\prime}(x)$. As usual, one can, without losing generality, restrict $n$ to be the product of distinct odd primes,…

A new sums-of-tails identity involving two parameters $b$ and $d$ is obtained and is used to derive more results of similar type. One of Ramanujan's sums-of-tails identities from the Lost Notebook is shown to be a special case of our…

Let $b,n\in \mathbb{Z}$, $n\geq 1$, and ${\cal D}_1, \ldots, {\cal D}_{\tau(n)}$ be all positive divisors of $n$. For $1\leq l \leq \tau(n)$, define ${\cal C}_l:=\lbrace 1 \leqslant x\leqslant n \; : \; (x,n)={\cal D}_l\rbrace$. In this…

We use representations and differentiation algorithms of posets, in order to obtain results concerning unsolved problems on figurate numbers. In particular, we present criteria for natural numbers which are the sum of three octahedral…

In 1918 S. Ramanujan defined a family of trigonometric sum now known as Ramanujan sums. In the last few years, Ramanujan sums have inspired the signal processing community. In this paper, we have defined an operator termed here as Ramanujan…
