In this paper we study class $\mathcal{S}^+$ of univalent functions $f$ such that $\frac{z}{f(z)}$ has real and positive coefficients. For such functions we give estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} functional and sharp estimates of their…

We prove a combinatorial identity relating Catalan numbers to tangent numbers arising from the study of peak algebra that was conjectured by Aliniaeifard and Li. This identity leads to the discovery of the intriguing identity $$…

For $-1\le B<A\le 1$, let $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in $|z|<1$ which satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ and $\Sigma^*(A,B)$…

Let $f(z)=q+\sum_{n\geq 2}a(n)q^n$ be a weight $k$ normalized newform with integer coefficients and trivial residual mod 2 Galois representation. We extend the results of Amir and Hong in \cite{AH} for $k=2$ by ruling out or locating all…

I solve here a question of Vladimir Reshetnikov in Mathoverflow (question 261649) about the values of Fabius function. Namely, I prove that the numbers $R_n:=2^{-\binom{n-1}{2}}(2n)! F(2^{-n})\prod_{m=1}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}(2^{2m}-1)$ are…

We consider exceptional APN functions on ${\bf F}_{2^m}$, which by definition are functions that are not APN on infinitely many extensions of ${\bf F}_{2^m}$. Our main result is that polynomial functions of odd degree are not exceptional,…

Logarithmic and inverse logarithmic coefficients play a crucial role in the theory of univalent functions. In this study, we focus on the class of starlike functions \(\mathcal{S}^*_\rho\), defined as \[ \mathcal{S}^*_\rho = \left\{ f \in…

We consider a q-analogue of the standard bilinear form on the commutative ring of symmetric functions. The q=-1 case leads to a Z-graded Hopf superalgebra which we call the algebra of odd symmetric functions. In the odd setting we describe…

We study the properties of the odd Catalan numbers, C_n, modulo 2^k for k >= 2. We show that there exist only k - 1 different congruences of the odd Catalan numbers modulo 2^k. Moreover, these congruences can be obtained by C_{2^m - 1} (mod…

In this paper we study some fundamental algebraic properties of slice functions and slice regular functions over an alternative $^*$-algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$. These recently introduced function theories generalize to higher dimensions…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of $q$-quasiadditivity of arithmetic functions, as well as the related concept of $q$-quasimultiplicativity, which generalise strong $q$-additivity and -multiplicativity, respectively. We show that…

Using a summation identity obtained for the Fourier coefficients of $x^{2k}$, we derive a closed form expression for the zeta function at even positive integers, using a technique similar to one in an existing proof by Aladdi and Defant[1],…

Let $\alpha>0$ be a constant, let $\ell\ge0$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma(z)$ denote the classical Euler gamma function. With the help of the integral representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$, by virtue of a monotonicity…

We study the entire functions $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k, a_k>0,$ with non-monotonic second quotients of Taylor coefficients, namely, such that $\frac{a_{2m-1}^2}{a_{2m-2}a_{2m}} = a>1$ and $\frac{a_{2m}^2}{a_{2m-1}a_{2m+1}} = b>1$…

It is commonly known that $\zeta(2k) = q_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 2)}{\pi^2}$ with known rational numbers $q_{k}$. In this work we construct recurrence relations of the form $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}r_{k}\frac{\zeta(2k + 1)}{\pi^{2k}} = 0$ and show…

This paper presents a new approach to evaluating the special values of the Dirichlet beta function, $\beta(2k+1)$, where $k$ is any nonnegative integer. Our approach relies on some properties of the Euler numbers and polynomials, and uses…
