In this paper, for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, the following relationships between the functions $K_{b}(n)$ and $K_{e}(n)$ and the Bernoulli and Euler numbers are proved: \[ B_{2n} = -\,\frac{(2n)!}{2^{2n}-2}\, K_{b}(n), \qquad E_{2n} =…

Let $F_n(k)$ be the generalized Fibonacci number defined by (with $F_i(k)$ abbreviated to $F_i$): $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} + \dots + F_{n-k}$, for $n \geq k$, and the initial values $(F_0,F_1,...,F_{k-1})$. Let $B_n(k,j)$ be $F_n(k)$ with…

In 2014 Marques and Lengyel gave all of the solutions to the equation $T_n=m!$, where $T_n$ is the $n$th term of the Tribonacci sequence $0,1,1,2,4,7,13,24,\ldots$. In 2023 Alahmadi and Luca generalized their result to the equation…

We describe the general non-associative version of Lie theory that relates unital formal multiplications (formal loops), Sabinin algebras and non-associative bialgebras. Starting with a formal multiplication we construct a non-associative…

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…

The $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ is defined to be the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k) \in \mathbb{N}^k$ with $1\leq a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_k \leq n$ such that both the product $a_1a_2\cdots a_k$…

A well-known and fundamental property of the Macdonald polynomials $P_\lambda(x;q,t)$ is their invariance under the transformation sending $(q,t)$ to $(q^{-1},t^{-1})$. Recently, Concha and Lapointe showed that this property extends in an…

Product identities in two variables $x, q$ expand infinite products as infinite sums, which are linear combinations of theta functions; famous examples include Jacobi's triple product identity, Watson's quintuple identity, and Hirschhorn's…

Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…

The aim of this paper is to study the $\lambda$-Stirling numbers of both kinds which are $\lambda$-analogues of Stirling numbers of both kinds. Those numbers have nice combinatorial interpretations when $\lambda$ are positive integers. If…

Let R_n be the ring of coinvariants for the diagonal action of the symmetric group S_n. It is known that the character of R_n as a doubly-graded S_n module can be expressed using the Frobenius characteristic map as \nabla e_n, where e_n is…

If $A$ and $B$ are $n$- and $m$-representation finite $k$-algebras, then their tensor product $\Lambda = A\otimes_k B$ is not in general $(n+m)$-representation finite. However, we prove that if $A$ and $B$ are acyclic and satisfy the weaker…
