We discover a family $A$ of sixteen statistics on fillings of any given Young diagram and prove new combinatorial formulas for modified Macdonald polynomials, that is, $$\tilde{H}_{\lambda}(X;q,t)=\sum_{\sigma\in…

We give the explicit analytic development of Macdonald polynomials in terms of "modified complete" and elementary symmetric functions. These expansions are obtained by inverting the Pieri formula. Specialization yields similar developments…

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…

Any homogeneous polynomial $P(x, y, z)$ of degree $d$, being restricted to a unit sphere $S^2$, admits essentially a unique representation of the form $\lambda_0 + \sum_{k = 1}^d \lambda_k [\prod_{j = 1}^k L_{kj}]$, where $L_{kj}$'s are…

In this paper we study the subset sum problem with real numbers. Starting from the given problem, we formulate a quadratic maximization problem over a polytope which is eventually written as a distance maximization to a fixed point. For…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

We give a short proof of the inner product conjecture for the symmetric Macdonald polynomials of type $A_{n-1}$. As a special case, the corresponding constant term conjecture is also proved.

In 1991, J. Thomson obtained a celebrated decomposition theorem for $P^t(\mu),$ the closed subspace of $L^t(\mu)$ spanned by the analytic polynomials, when $1 \le t < \i.$ In 2008, J. Brennan \cite{b08} generalized Thomson's theorem to…

Given integers s,t, define a function phi_{s,t} on the space of all formal series expansions by phi_{s,t} (sum a_n x^n) = sum a_{sn+t} x^n. For each function phi_{s,t}, we determine the collection of all rational functions whose Taylor…

We present further results on a class of sums which involve complex powers of the distance to points in a two-dimensional square lattice and trigonometric functions of their angle, supplementing those in a previous paper (McPhedran {\em et…

If $\mathcal{P}$ is a lattice polytope (i.e., $\mathcal{P}$ is the convex hull of finitely many integer points in $\mathbb{R}^d$), Ehrhart's famous theorem (1962) asserts that the integer-point counting function $|t \mathcal{P} \cap…

A novel factorization for the sum of two single-pair matrices is established as product of lower-triangular, tridiagonal, and upper-triangular matrices, leading to semi-closed-form formulas for tridiagonal matrix inversion. Subsequent…

Let the formal power series f in d variables with coefficients in an arbitrary field be a symmetric function decomposed as a series of Schur functions, and let f be a rational function whose denominator is a product of binomials of the form…

For $A\in\mathbb{Z}^{m\times n}$ we investigate the behaviour of the number of lattice points in $P_A(b)=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:Ax\leq b\}$, depending on the varying vector $b$. It is known that this number, restricted to a cone of constant…

The local $h$-polynomial was introduced by Stanley as a fundamental enumerative invariant of a triangulation $\Delta$ of a simplex. This polynomial is known to have nonnegative and symmetric coefficients and is conjectured to be…

We discuss the multiple summability of a multilinear map $T:X_1\times\cdots\times X_m\to Y$ when we have informations on the summability of the maps it induces on each coordinate. Our methods have applications to inclusion theorems for…

We generalize Dirichlet's diophantine approximation theorem to approximating any real number $\alpha$ by a sum of two rational numbers $\frac{a_1}{q_1} + \frac{a_2}{q_2}$ with denominators $1 \leq q_1, q_2 \leq N$. This turns out to be…

We study the problem of finding a triangulation T of a planar point set S such as to minimize the expected distance between two points x and y chosen uniformly at random from S. By distance we mean the length of the shortest path between x…

Historically, the polylogarithm has attracted specialists and non-specialists alike with its lovely evaluations. Much the same can be said for Euler sums (or multiple harmonic sums), which, within the past decade, have arisen in…

For a polynomial $P$ mapping the integers into the integers, define an averaging operator $A_{N} f(x):=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{k=1}^N f(x+P(k))$ acting on functions on the integers. We prove sufficient conditions for the $\ell^{p}$-improving…
