We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(\alpha_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $\alpha_n$, such that the limit $A = -\lim_n \alpha_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A > 1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an…

The renormalization of MZV was until now carried out by algebraic means. We show that renormalization in general, of the multiple zeta functions in particular, is more than mere convention. We show that simple calculus methods allow us to…

We consider functions of the type $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ from a family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk. Let $F$ be the inverse function of $f$, given by $F(z)=w+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}A_nw^n$ defined on some…

Given an unknown $\mathbb{R}^n$-valued function $f$ on a metric space $X$, can we approximate the persistent homology of $f$ from a finite sampling of $X$ with known pairwise distances and function values? This question has been answered in…

Euler's transformation formula for the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 is extended to hypergeometric functions of higher order. Unusually, the generalized transformation constrains the hypergeometric function parameters algebraically but…

Let $\alpha>0$ be a constant, let $\ell\ge0$ be an integer, and let $\Gamma(z)$ denote the classical Euler gamma function. With the help of the integral representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(z)$, by virtue of a monotonicity…

Let $V\subseteq\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ be an algebraic variety with no constant coordinates and with a dominant projection onto the first $n$ coordinates. We show that the intersection of $V$ with the graph of the $\Gamma$ function is Zariski…

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 a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

One of the most celebrated applications of Gauss' $_2F_1$ hypergeometric functions is in connection with the rapid convergence of sequences and special values that arise in the theory of arithmetic and geometric means. This theory was the…

We study the incomplete Mellin transformation of the fractional part and the related log-sine function when composed by an affine complex map. We evaluate the corresponding integral in two different ways which yields equalities with series…

Suppose $\alpha>-1$ and $1\leq p \leq \infty$. Let $f=P_{\alpha}[F]$ be an $\alpha$-harmonic mapping on $\mathbb{D}$ with the boundary $F$ being absolute continuous and $\dot{F}\in L^p(0,2\pi)$, where…

For a function g(w) analytic and univalent in {w:1<|w|<\infty} with a simple pole at \infty and a continuous extension to {w:|w|\geq 1}, we consider the Faber polynomials F_n(z), n=0,1,2,..., associated to g(w) via their generating function…

Let $\Gamma$ be a graph, $A$ an abelian group, $\mathcal{D}$ a given orientation of $\Gamma$ and $R$ a unital subring of the endomorphism ring of $A$. It is shown that the set of all maps $\varphi$ from $E(\Gamma)$ to $A$ such that…

The Katz-Sarnak Density Conjecture states that the behavior of zeros of a family of $L$-functions near the central point (as the conductors tend to zero) agree with the behavior of eigenvalues near 1 of a classical compact group (as the…

If a smooth function of one variable has maximum one on the unit interval, and has there $d$ zeroes, then its $(d+1)$-st derivative must be "big". This is one of the simplest examples of what we call "smooth rigidity": certain geometric…

For a bridgeless graph $G$, its flow polynomial is defined to be the function $F(G,q)$ which counts the number of nonwhere-zero $\Gamma$-flows on an orientation of $G$ whenever $q$ is a positive integer and $\Gamma$ is an additive Abelian…
