Multivariate versions of classical orthogonal polynomials such as Jacobi, Hahn, Laguerre and Meixner are reviewed and their connection explored by adopting a probabilistic approach. Hahn and Meixner polynomials are interpreted as posterior…
Involutions of the Clifford algebra of a quadratic space induced by orthogonal symmetries are investigated.
Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…
This is a complement to my previous article "Advanced Determinant Calculus" (S\'eminaire Lotharingien Combin. 42 (1999), Article B42q, 67 pp.). In the present article, I share with the reader my experience of applying the methods described…
We obtain a small improvement of Gallagher's larger sieve and we extend it to higher dimensions. We also obtain two interesting upper bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences.
We prove theorems of interest about the recently given $\Lambda^{r}$-strong convergence. We extend the results of F. M\'oricz [On $\Lambda$-strong convergence of numerical sequences and Fourier series, Acta Math.~Hungar., 54 (1989),…
We continue our study on relationships between Fibonacci (Lucas) numbers and Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. The derivations of our results are based on functional equations for the respective generating functions, which in our case are…
We put a new conjecture on primes from the point of view of its binary expansions and make a step towards justification.
Recent results about sums of cubes of Fibonacci numbers [Frontczak, 2018] are extended to arbitrary powers.
We develop techniques to deal with monotonicity of sequences z_{n+1}/z_n and \sqrt[n]{z_n}. A series of conjectures of Zhi-Wei Sun and of Amdeberhan et al. are verified in certain unified approaches.
In this paper we present several natural $q$-analogues of the poly-Bernoulli numbers arising in combinatorial contexts. We also recall some relating analytical results and ask for combinatorial interpretations.
It is widely believed that the continued fraction expansion of every irrational algebraic number $\alpha$ either is eventually periodic (and we know that this is the case if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational), or it contains…
We present a different combinatorial interpretations of Lucas and Gibonacci numbers. Using these interpretations we prove several new identities, and simplify the proofs of several known identities. Some open problems are discussed towards…
This paper was written, apart from one technical correction, in July and August of 2013. The, then very recent, breakthrough of Y. Zhang \cite{Z} had revived in us an intention to produce a second edition of our book "Opera de Cribro", one…
Polignac [1] conjectured that for every even natural number $2k (k\geq1)$, there exist infinitely many consecutive primes $p_n$ and $p_{n+1}$ such that $p_{n+1}-p_n=2k$. A weakened form of this conjecture states that for every $k\geq1$,…
We survey some recent developments in the analytic theory of multiple Dirichlet series with arithmetical coefficients on the numerators.
By involving some exponential sums related to $\Lambda(n)$ in arithmetic progression, we can obtain some new results for von Mangoldt function over {\bf nonhomogeneous} Beatty sequences in arithmetic progressions, which improve some recent…
We present a formulation of the Collatz conjecture that is potentially more amenable to modeling and analysis by automated termination checking tools.
We deal with relatives of GCH which are provable. In particular we deal with rank version of the revised GCH. Our motivation was to find such results when only weak versions of the axiom of choice are assumed but some of the results gives…
We prove an upper bound for the length of an arithmetic progression represented by an irreducible integral binary quadratic form or a norm form, which depends only on the form and the progression's common difference. For quadratic forms,…
