We investigate properties of Ehrhart polynomials for matroid polytopes, independence matroid polytopes, and polymatroids. In the first half of the paper we prove that for fixed rank their Ehrhart polynomials are computable in polynomial…
We present a fourfold series expansion representing the Askey-Wilson polynomials. To obtain the result, a sequential use is made of several summation and transformation formulas for the basic hypergeometric series, including the Verma's…
We extend some results about shifted Schur functions to the general context of shifted Macdonald polynomials. We obtain two explicit formulas for these polynomials: a $q$-integral representation and a combinatorial formula. Our main tool is…
We introduce a notion of duality (due to Brylawski) that generalizes matroid duality to arbitrary rank functions. This generalized duality allows for generalized operations (deletion and contraction) and a generalized polynomial based on…
We construct a new polynomial invariant of maps (graphs embedded in a compact surface, orientable or non-orientable), which contains as specializations the Krushkal polynomial, the Bollob\'as--Riordan polynomial, the Las Vergnas polynomial,…
The Merino-Welsh conjectures say that subject to conditions, there is an inequality among the Tutte-polynomial evaluations $T(M;2,0)$, $T(M;0,2)$, and $T(M;1,1)$. We present three results on a Merino-Welsh conjecture. These results are…
This is a review of ($q$-)hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and their relation to representation theory of quantum groups, to matrix models, to integrable theory, and to knot theory. We discuss both continuous and discrete orthogonal…
We use the differential algebra of polytopes to explain the known remarkable relation of the combinatorics of the associahedra and permutohedra with the universal compositional and multiplicative inversion formulas for the formal power…
Orthogonal Laurent polynomials in the unit circle and the theory of Toda-like integrable systems are connected using the Gauss--Borel factorization of a Cantero-Moral-Velazquez moment matrix, which is constructed in terms of a complex…
We establish that matroids characterized by the Tutte polynomial $\sum_{i,j\ge 0}t_{i,j}x^iy^j$ with coefficients $t_{i,j}$ vanishing for $(i,j)\ge (k,l)$ precisely coincide with $(k,l)$-uniform matroids. This characterization implies that…
In this note we introduce a family of polynomials on a matroid derived from chain Tutte polynomials which generalize the classic and ubiquitous characteristic polynomial. We show that the coefficients of these polynomials alternate and…
Recently subclasses of polynomial ensembles for additive and multiplicative matrix convolutions were identified which were called P\'olya ensembles (or polynomial ensembles of derivative type). Those ensembles are closed under the…
Some changes in a recent convolution formula are performed here in order to clean it up by using more conventional notations and by making use of more referrenced and documented components (namely Sierpi\'nski's polynomials, the Thue-Morse…
Let G be a graph with adjacency matrix A(G). Consider the matrix IA(G)=(I | A(G)), where I is the identity matrix, and let M(IA(G)) be the binary matroid represented by IA(G). Then suitably parametrized versions of the Tutte polynomial of…
We give a short proof of the log-concavity of the coefficients of the reduced characteristic polynomial of a matroid. The proof uses an extension of the theory of Lorentzian polynomials to convex cones, and reproves the Hodge-Riemann…
Brualdi and Ma found a connection between involutions of length $n$ with $k$ descents and symmetric $k\times k$ matrices with non-negative integer entries summing to $n$ and having no row or column of zeros. From their main theorem they…
We prove that the two-variable Tutte polynomial of hypergraphs can be defined via embedding activities. We also prove that embedding activities of hypergraphs yield a Crapo-style decomposition of $\mathbb{Z}^E$, thus generalizing Bernardi's…
We study multiple orthogonal polynomials exploiting their explicit determinantal representation in terms of moments. Our reasoning follows that applied to solve the Hermite-Pad\'{e} approximation and interpolation problems. We study also…
