The triangulations of a regular convex polygon are enumerated according to the number of diagonals parallel to a fixed edge. The enumeration uses the Shapiro convolution identity, as well as an interpretation of this identity in terms of…
In 1999, Neil Calkin and Herbert Wilf wrote "Recounting the rationals" which gave an explicit bijection between the positive integers and the positive rationals. We find several different (some new) ways to construct this enumeration and…
Proceeding by way of examples, we update the combinatorics of the treatment of Feynman diagrams with subdivergences in differential renormalization from more recent viewpoints in Epstein--Glaser renormalization in $x$-space.
We define sequence patterns of length $n$ and level $\ell$ to be equivalence classes of sequences that have $n$ elements from the set of $\ell$ integer symbols $\{1,2,\ldots,\ell\}$ with no restriction on repetition, where the equivalence…
A nucleotides sequence is identified, in the two (four) letters alphabet, by the the labels of a vector state of an irreducible representation of U_q(sl(2)) (U_q(sl(2) + sl(2))), in the limit q -> 0. A master equation for the distribution…
The following is a translation of the paper by Walther Gerlach and Otto Stern that reported the first evidence for the quantisation of atoms in a magnetic field. The atoms have quantum states corresponding to a limited number of possible…
If we label the vertices of a triangle with 1, 2 and 4, and the orthocentre with 7, then any of the four numbers 1, 2, 4, 7 is the nim-sum of the other three and is their orthocentre. Regard the triangle as an orthocentric quadrangle.…
Motivated by a problem in quantum field theory, we study the up and down structure of circular and linear permutations. In particular, we count the length of the (alternating) runs of permutations by representing them as monomials and find…
We prove that the set of directions of lines intersecting three disjoint balls in $R^3$ in a given order is a strictly convex subset of $S^2$. We then generalize this result to $n$ disjoint balls in $R^d$. As a consequence, we can improve…
We consider three generalizations of the isoperimetric problem to higher codimension and provide results on equilibrium, stability, and minimization.
A new $q$-analogue of Appell polynomial sequences and their generalizations are introduced and their main characterizations are proved. As consequences new $q$-analogue of Bernoulli and Euler polynomials and numbers is introduced, their…
We show that in a generalized Adams spectral sequence, the presence of a vanishing line of fixed slope (at some term of the spectral sequence, with some intercept) is a generic property.
Characterizations of the star, minus and diamond orders of operators are given in various contexts and the relationship between these orders is made more transparent. Moreover, we introduce a new partial order of operators which provides a…
Using the Klein correspondence, regular parallelisms of PG(3,R) have been described by Betten and Riesinger in terms of a dual object, called a hyperflock determining (hfd) line set. In the special case where this set has a span of…
We examine a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a strictly increasing sequence of numbers and we prove its Poisson-like limit. Such generalizations might be found in quantum optics with imperfect detection. We…
Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…
We give an explicit sequence of polarizations such that for every measurable function, the sequence of iterated polarizations converge to the symmetric rearrangement of the initial function.
We are going to classify sets by a given mean in two ways. Firstly we study small and big sets regarding a given mean. Secondly we study sets that have the same weight according to a mean. We also generalize the notion of roundness and get…
This article investigates integer sequences that partition the sequence into blocks of various lengths - irregular arrays. The main result of the article is explicit formulas for numbering of irregular arrays. A generalization of Cantor…
A set A is a Sidon set in an additive group G if every element of G can be written at most one way as sum of two elements of A. A particular case of two-dimensional Sidon sets are the sonar sequences, which are two-dimensional…
