From the algebraic solution of $x^{n}-x+t=0$ for $n=2,3,4$ and the corresponding solution in terms of hypergeometric functions, we obtain a set of reduction formulas for hypergeometric functions. By differentiation and integration of these…

The main goal of the paper is to prove that the sequence of functions $f(x), Df(x), \dots, D^{2n+1}f(x)$, where $f(x)$ is $x^n\sin x$ or $x^n\cos x$ are linearly independent. Or more generally: that the sequence of functions $D^kf(x),…

We prove a matrix trace inequality for completely monotone functions and for Bernstein functions. As special cases we obtain non-trivial trace inequalities for the power function x->x^q, which for certain values of q complement McCarthy's…

In this note we show the n-2-dimensional volumes of codimension 2 faces of an n-dimensional simplex are algebraically independent functions of the lengths of edges. In order to prove this we compute the complete spectrum of a…

For integral representations of associated Legendre functions in terms of modified Bessel functions, we establish justification for differentiation under the integral sign with respect to parameters. With this justification, derivatives for…

We prove several results on the multiplier spectrum of polynomials. We provide a detailed proof of the theorem stating that the multiplier spectrum morphism is generically injective on the moduli space of polynomials. We obtain a…

In 2021, Calderini et al. introduced a construction for APN functions on $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}$ in bivariate form $$ f(x,y)=\big(xy,\, x^{2^r+1} + x^{2^{r+m/2}} y^{2^{m/2}} + bxy^{2^r} + cy^{2^r+1}\big),\quad r < m/2,\quad \gcd(r, m) = 1. $$…

We compute the resolvent of the anti-commutator operator $XP+PX$ and of the quantum harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian operator $\frac{1}{2}(X^2+P^2)$. Using Stone's formula for finding the spectral resolution of an, either bounded or…

We determine all pairs of real numbers $(\alpha, \beta)$ such that the dilated floor functions $\lfloor \alpha x\rfloor$ and $\lfloor \beta x\rfloor$ commute under composition, i.e., such that $\lfloor \alpha \lfloor \beta x\rfloor\rfloor =…

Assume $n=2m\geq 2$ and let $F(x)=x^{d_1}+x^{d_2}$ be a binomial vectorial function over $\F_{2^n}$ possessing the maximal number (i.e. $2^n-2^m$) of bent components. Suppose the $2$-adic Hamming weights $\wt_2(d_1)$ and $\wt_2(d_2)$ are…

In this paper, we study functions of the roots of a univariate polynomial in which the roots have a given multiplicity structure $\mu$. Traditionally, root functions are studied via the theory of symmetric polynomials; we extend this theory…

We introduce a class of doubly infinite complex Jacobi matrices determined by a simple convergence condition imposed on the diagonal and off-diagonal sequences. For each Jacobi matrix belonging to this class, an analytic function, called a…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a set of $n$ real analytic functions with linearly independent derivatives restricted to a compact interval $I$. We show that for any finite set $A \subset I$, there is a function $f \in \mathcal{F}$ that satisfies…

We analyze the sequence of polynomials defined by the differential-difference equation $P_{n+1}(x)=P_{n}^{\prime}(x)+x(n+1)P_{n}(x)$ asymptotically as $n\to\infty$. The polynomials $P_{n}(x)$ arise in the computation of higher derivatives…

This treatise investigates holomorphic functions defined on the space of bicomplex numbers introduced by Segre. The theory of these functions is associated with Fueter's theory of regular, quaternionic functions. The algebras of quaternions…

We discuss the phenomenological extraction of the leading $ j$-plane singularity from singlet structure functions $ F_s $ measured at small $ x. $ Using a saddle-point method we show that $ {\rm d ln} F_s /{\rm d ln}{1 \over x} $ is a…

This note mainly concerns the binomial power function, defined as $(1+x^q)^{r}$. We construct systems of polynomials related to non-local approximation, which allows us to establish the density results on $C[a,b]$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$.…

In this note we consider Boolean functions defined on the discrete cube equipped with a biased product probability measure. We prove that if the spectrum of such a function is concentrated on the first two Fourier levels, then the function…

In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…

It is shown that a function $f$ is a generalized Stieltjes function of order $\lambda>0$ if and only if $x^{1-\lambda}(x^{\lambda-1+k}f(x))^{(k)}$ is completely monotonic for all $k\geq 0$, thereby complementing a result due to Sokal.…
