In this paper we introduce the space-fractional Poisson process whose state probabilities $p_k^\alpha(t)$, $t>0$, $\alpha \in (0,1]$, are governed by the equations $(\mathrm d/\mathrm dt)p_k(t) = -\lambda^\alpha (1-B)p_k^\alpha(t)$, where…

We define a new class of generating function transformations related to polylogarithm functions, Dirichlet series, and Euler sums. These transformations are given by an infinite sum over the $j^{th}$ derivatives of a sequence generating…

We consider the partial theta function, i.e. the sum of the bivariate series $\theta (q,z):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}z^j$ for $q\in (0,1)$, $z\in \mathbb{C}$. We show that for any value of the parameter $q\in (0,1)$ all zeros of the…

We prove new properties of the zero set of Ramanujan's partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, $q\in (-1,0)\cup (0,1)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}$. We show that for each $q\in (0,1)$, there exists a line Re$x=-a$,…

In this article, we present a binary tree with vertices given by rational functions $p(x)/q(x)$; the root and functional derivation of children are inspired by continued fractions. We prove some special properties of the tree. For example,…

We exploit some properties of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (n,x)$ in order to study sums of the form $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}1/(jk+l)^{n}$ and $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}(-1)^{j}/(jk+l)^{n}$ for $%…

Hirschman and Widder introduced a class of P\'olya frequency functions given by linear combinations of one-sided exponential functions. The members of this class are probability densities, and the class is closed under convolution but not…

The paper studies entire functions of finite order of growth for which a representation of the form $\psi(z) = 1+ O(|z|^{-\mu}), \mu >0,$ as $z\to \infty$, is valid on a fixed ray of the complex plane. The main result is the following.…

In this paper we shall consider the assymptotic growth of $|P_n(z)|^{1/k_n}$ where $P_n(z)$ is a sequence of entire functions of genus zero. Our results extend a result of J. Muller and A. Yavrian. We shall prove that if the sequence of…

It is proved by the method of partial fraction expansions and Sturm's oscillation theory that the zeros of certain Hankel transforms are all real and distributed regularly between consecutive zeros of Bessel functions. As an application,…

Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, showing that it is asymptotically…

This note proves two theorems regarding Fermat-type equation $x^r + y^r = dz^p$ where $r \geq 5$ is a prime. Our main result shows that, for infinitely many integers~$d$, the previous equation has no non-trivial primitive solutions such…

Solutions of the quartic Fermat equation in ring class fields of odd conductor over quadratic fields $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$ with $-d \equiv 1$ (mod $8$) are shown to be periodic points of a fixed algebraic function $T(z)$ defined on the…

Let $f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!}q^{n(n-1)/2}x^n$ ($0<q<1$) be the deformed exponential function. It is known that the zeros of $f(x)$ are real and form a negative decreasing sequence $(x_k)$ ($k\ge 1$). We investigate the complete…

In this paper we establish a new summation method by expanding $\prod_{k}(1-\frac{z}{a_{k}})^{-1}$ with two approaches: the Taylor expansion and the infinite partial fraction decomposition. Here we focus on the case when $a_{k}$ is…

In this work we prove that certain entire $q$-functions have infinitely many nonzero roots $\left\{ \rho_{n}\right\} _{n=1}^{\infty}$, as $n\to+\infty$ the moduli $\left|\rho_{n}\right|$ grow at least exponentially. Applications to entire…

In this paper, we show that all real zeros of the bilateral Hurwitz zeta function $Z(s,a):=\zeta (s,a) + \zeta (s,1-a)$ with $1/4 \le a \le 1/2$ are on only the non-positive even integers exactly same as in the case of $(2^s-1) \zeta (s)$.…

The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on $[0,1]$) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on $(-\infty,1)$. We establish this…

Let $g$ be a entire function of exponential type on the complex plane $\mathbb C$, $Z=\{ z_k\}_{k=1,2,\dots}$ be a sequence of points in $\mathbb C$. We give a criterion for the existence of an entire function $f\neq 0$ of exponential type…

We prove that if $\sum_n n! c_n z^n$ is entire and $c_n$ does not terminate, then $\sum_n c_n z^n$ has infinitely many zeros. We then use this result to give alternative proofs that the Le Roy functions $f_r(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty…
