This paper is a study of power series, where the coefficients are binomial expressions (iterated finite differences). Our results can be used for series summation, for series transformation, or for asymptotic expansions involving Stirling…

These notes are devoted to the theory of exponential sums over finite fields. The first chapter recalls some of the number-theoretic interest of such sums. The second chapter discusses the $L$-functions attached to such sums, the "Weil…

This paper introduces a new method for redefining the Roman factorial using universally applicable functions that are not expressed in closed form. We present a set of foundational functions, similar to Boolean operations, to simplify the…

Let $\mathbb F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, $f, g\in \mathbb F_q[x]$ be polynomials of degree at least one. This paper deals with the asymptotic growth of certain arithmetic functions associated to the factorization of the…

This thesis is intended to provide an account of the theory and applications of Operational Methods that allow the "translation" of the theory of special functions and polynomials into a "different" mathematical language. The language we…

We study a q-logarithm which was introduced by Euler and give some of its properties. This q-logarithm did not get much attention in the recent literature. We derive basic properties, some of which were already given by Euler in a…

We revisit Allendoerfer-Weil's formula for the Euler characteristic of embedded hypersurfaces in constant sectional curvature manifolds, first taking some time to re-prove it while demonstrating techniques of [2] and then applying it to…

In this paper we study the variance of the Euler totient function (normalized to $\varphi(n)/n$) in the integers $\mathbb{Z}$ and in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. It turns out that in…

We show how to determine the asymptotics of a certain Selberg-type integral by means of tools available in the theory of (generalised) hypergeometric series. This provides an alternative derivation of a result of Carr\'e, Deneufch\^atel,…

This note provides a new approach to a result of Foregger and related earlier results by Keilson and Eberlein. Using quite different techniques, we prove a more general result from which the others follow easily. Finally, we argue that the…

The Bessel function of the first kind $J_{N}\left(kx\right)$ is expanded in a Fourier-Legendre series, as is the modified Bessel functions of the first kind $I_{N}\left(kx\right)$. The purpose of these expansions in Legendre polynomials was…

Fractional calculus is the calculus of differentiation and integration of non-integer orders. In a recently paper (Annals of Physics 323 (2008) 2756-2778), the Fundamental Theorem of Fractional Calculus is highlighted. Based on this…

In this paper, we introduce a way to generalize the Euler's gamma function as well as some related special functions. With a given polynomial in one variable $f(t)\ge 0$, we can associate a function, so-called "gamma function associated…

We obtain addition formulas for $_{p}F_{p}$ and $_{p+1}F_{p}$ generalized hypergeometric functions with general parameters. These are utilized in conjunction with integral representations of these functions to derive Kummer- and Euler-type…

Truncated Fourier, Gauss, Kummer and exponential sums can be used to factorize numbers: for a factor these sums equal unity in absolute value, whereas they nearly vanish for any other number. We show how this factorization algorithm can…

We present a new methodology, suitable for implementation on computer, to perform the $\epsilon$-expansion of hypergeometric functions with linear $\epsilon$ dependent Pochhammer parameters in any number of variables. Our approach allows…

Generalisations of the classical Euler formula to the setting of fractional calculus are discussed. Compound interest and fractional compound interest serve as motivation. Connections to fractional master equations are highlighted. An…

Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and…

We present recent advances on Dirichlet forms methods either to extend financial models beyond the usual stochastic calculus or to study stochastic models with less classical tools. In this spirit, we interpret the asymptotic error on the…

In this paper, we solve in the convergence set, the fractional logistic equation making use of Euler's numbers. To our knowledge, the answer is still an open question. The key point is that the coefficients can be connected with Euler's…
