Let $q\in(1,2)$; it is known that each $x\in[0,1/(q-1)]$ has an expansion of the form $x=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^{-n}$ with $a_n\in\{0,1\}$. It was shown in \cite{EJK} that if $q<(\sqrt5+1)/2$, then each $x\in(0,1/(q-1))$ has a continuum of…
We investigate a Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP), whose solution corresponds to a group of $q$-orthogonal polynomials studied earlier by Ismail et al. Using RHP theory we determine new asymptotic results in the limit as the degree of the…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…
We study the maximum modulus set, $\mathcal{M}(p)$, of a polynomial $p$. We are interested in constructing $p$ so that $\mathcal{M}(p)$ has certain exceptional features. Jassim and London gave a cubic polynomial $p$ such that…
We study the problem of interpolating all values of a discrete signal f of length N when d<N values are known, especially in the case when the Fourier transform of the signal is zero outside some prescribed index set J; these comprise the…
In some estimation problems, especially in applications dealing with information theory, signal processing and biology, theory provides us with additional information allowing us to restrict the parameter space to a finite number of points.…
There are many papers studying properties of point sets in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^m$ or on integer grids $\mathbb{Z}^m$, with pairwise integral or rational distances. In this article we consider the distances or coordinates of the…
We consider a bound state problem for a family of supersymmetric gauge theories with fundamental matter. These theories can be obtained by a dimensional reduction of supersymmetric QCD from three dimensions to 1+1 and subsequent truncation…
For spectral actions consisting of the average number of particles and arising from open systems made of general free $q$-particles (including Bose, Fermi and classical ones corresponding to $q=\pm 1$ and $0$, respectively) in thermal…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. In this paper we obtain bounds on the following counting problem: given a polynomial $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ of degree $k+m$ and a non-negative integer $r$, count the number of…
The $q$-binomial coefficients $\qbinom{n}{m}=\prod_{i=1}^m(1-q^{n-m+i})/(1-q^i)$, for integers $0\le m\le n$, are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients. This readily follows from the $q$-binomial theorem, or the…
We say a polynomial f having integer coefficients is strongly coefficient convex if the set of coefficients of f consists of consecutive integers only. We establish various results suggesting that the divisors of x^n-1 with integer…
If X is a finite set of points in a multiprojective space P^n1 x ... x P^nr with r >= 2, then X may or may not be arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (ACM). For sets of points in P^1 x P^1 there are several classifications of the ACM sets of…
Geometrical objects with integral sides have attracted mathematicians for ages. For example, the problem to prove or to disprove the existence of a perfect box, that is, a rectangular parallelepiped with all edges, face diagonals and space…
By using p-adic q-integrals, we study the q-Bernoulli numbers and polynomials of higher order.
We derive the distribution of interferometric visibility for a source exhibiting strong diffractive scintillation, with particular attention to spectral resolution at or near the Nyquist limit. We also account for arbitrary temporal…
For a fixed quadratic polynomial $\mathfrak{p}$ in $n$ non-commuting variables, and $n$ independent $N\times N$ complex Ginibre matrices $X_1^N,\dots, X_n^N$, we establish the convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of $P^N…
We establish spectral estimates at a critical energy level for $h$-pseudors . Via a trace formula, we compute the contribution of isolated (non-extremum) critical points under a condition of "real principal type". The main result holds for…
A seminal open question of Pisier and Mendel--Naor asks whether every degree-regular graph which satisfies the classical discrete Poincar\'e inequality for scalar functions, also satisfies an analogous inequality for functions taking values…
It is well known from the Perron-Frobenius theory that the spectral gap of a positive square matrix is positive. In this paper, we give a more quantitative characterization of the spectral gap. More specifically, using a complex extension…
