We prove the Conley conjecture for negative monotone, closed symplectic manifolds, i.e., the existence of infinitely many periodic orbits for Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of such manifolds.
Using the following $_4F_3$ transformation formula $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n}{-x-1\choose k}^2{x\choose n-k}^2=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}^2{x+k\choose 2k}, $$ which can be proved by Zeilberger's algorithm, we confirm some special…
We confirm Sun's conjecture that $(\root{n+1}\of{F_{n+1}}/\root{n}\of{F_n})_{n\ge 4}$ is strictly decreasing to the limit 1, where $(F_n)_{n\ge0}$ is the Fibonacci sequence. We also prove that the sequence…
We present combinatorial rules (one theorem and two conjectures) concerning three bases of Z[x1,x2,....]. First, we prove a "splitting" rule for the basis of key polynomials [Demazure '74], thereby establishing a new positivity theorem…
We prove the volume conjecture for any twist knots by using an equivalence relation, complex analysis, analytic continuation, and function of several complex variables on the basis of colored Jones polynomials.
We provide combinatorial proofs of some of the q-series identities considered by Andrews, Jimenez-Urroz and Ono [q-series identities and values of certain $L$-functions. Duke Math. J. 108 (2001), no. 3, 395--419].
From an identity connecting a combinatorial sum and Legendre polynomials, we derive closed forms for a number of combinatorial sums. Some of them are obtained via results about the integrals of functions associated with Legendre…
We review how the monotone pattern compares to other patterns in terms of enumerative results on pattern avoiding permutations. We consider three natural definitions of pattern avoidance, give an overview of classic and recent formulas, and…
It is shown how to obtain an asymptotic expansion of the generalised central trinomial coefficient $[x^n](x^2 + bx + c)^n$ by means of singularity analysis, thus proving a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun.
We adopt the "translation" as well as other techniques to express several identities conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in arXiv:1102.5649v47 by means of known formulas for $1/\pi$ involving Domb and other Ap\'ery-like sequences.
Motivated by the combinatorial properties of products in Lie algebras, we investigate the subset of permutations that naturally appears when we write the long commutator $[x_1, x_2, ..., x_m]$ as a sum of associative monomials. We…
Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…
Le but cette note est de tenter d'expliquer les liens \'etroits qui unissent la th\'eorie des empilements de cercles et des modules combinatoires, et de comparer les approches \`a la conjecture de J.W. Cannon qui en d\'ecoulent. ???? The…
In 1993 one of the authors formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series sections. They lead to more general conjecture on monotonicity of ratios of Kummer hypergeometric functions and was not proved from…
We combinatorially prove that the number $R(n,k)$ of permutations of length $n$ having $k$ runs is a log-concave sequence in $k$, for all $n$. We also give a new combinatorial proof for the log-concavity of the Eulerian numbers.
In this short note a new proof of the monotone con- vergence theorem of Lebesgue integral on \sigma-class is given.
The second author studied arithmetic properties of a class of sequences that generalize the sequence of derangements. The aim of the following paper is to disprove two conjectures stated in \cite{miska}. The first conjecture regards the set…
This is a survey on Kawaguchi-Silverman conjecture.
We describe some combinatorial problems in finite projective planes and indicate how R\'edei's theory of lacunary polynomials can be applied to them.
In this article, we introduce combinatorial models for poly-Bernoulli polynomials and poly-Euler numbers of both kinds. As their applications, we provide combinatorial proofs of some identities involving poly-Bernoulli polynomials.
