A dynamically affine map is a finite quotient of an affine morphism of an algebraic group. We determine the rationality or transcendence of the Artin-Mazur zeta function of a dynamically affine self-map of $\mathbb{P}^1(k)$ for $k$ an…
In this paper, eventually totally positive matrices (i.e. matrices all whose powers starting with some point are totally positive) are studied. We present a new approach to eventual total positivity which is based on the theory of…
The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…
The present research deals with generalizations of the Salem function with arguments defined in terms of certain alternating expansions of real numbers. The special attention is given to modelling such functions by systems of functional…
Any positive power of the Laplacian is related via its Fourier symbol to a hypersingular integral with finite differences. We show how this yields a pointwise evaluation which is more flexible than other notions used so far in the…
Analysis of function spaces and special functions are closely related to the representation theory of Lie groups. We explain here the connection between the Laguerre functions, the Laguerre polynomials, and the Meixner-Pollacyck polynomials…
The standard literature on special functions contains a lot of hypergeometric identities involving products and quotients of gamma functions, but still the occurrence of such identities is a sporadic phenomenon. This is because the…
The main purpose of this paper is to compute all irreducible spherical functions on $G={SL}(2,{\mathbb C})$ of arbitrary type $\delta\in \hat K$, where $K={SU}(2)$. This is accomplished by associating to a spherical function $\Phi$ on $G$ a…
We consider pro-isomorphic zeta functions of the groups $\Gamma(\mathcal{O}_K)$, where $\Gamma$ is a unipotent group scheme defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ and $K$ varies over all number fields. Under certain conditions, we show that these…
The spectral decomposition for an explicit second-order differential operator $T$ is determined. The spectrum consists of a continuous part with multiplicity two, a continuous part with multiplicity one, and a finite discrete part with…
In this paper, we introduce a new two-parameter deformation of the Gamma function that generalizes some existing Gamma-type functions in the literature. We study properties of this function that depend on the parameters. We also prove some…
We present a general theory for studying the difference analogues of special functions of hypergeometric type on the linear-type lattices, i.e., the solutions of the second order linear difference equation of hypergeometric type on a…
We introduce two types bilateral zeta functions, which are related to the primitive and normalized multiple sine functions respectively. Further, we establish their main properties, that is, Fourier expansions, analytic continuations,…
It is known that every complex square matrix with nonnegative determinant is the product of positive semi-definite matrices. There are characterizations of matrices that require two or five positive semi-definite matrices in the product.…
We study fixed points of iterates of dynamically affine maps (a generalisation of Latt\`es maps) over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We present and study certain hypotheses that imply a dichotomy for the…
For any integer $d\times (n+1)$ matrix $A$ and parameter $\beta\in\CC^d$ let $M_A(\beta)$ be the associated $A$-hypergeometric (or GKZ) system in the variables $x_0,\ldots,x_n$. We describe bounds for the (roots of the) $b$-functions of…
The topological zeta function of a matroid is a rational function as well as a valuative invariant of the matroid, encoding rich combinatorial information. We analyze topological zeta functions of matroids from the vantage point of several…
A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…
We intimate deeper connections between the Riemann zeta and gamma functions than often reported and further derive a new formula for expressing the value of $\zeta(2n+1)$ in terms of zeta at other fractional points. This paper also…
In this work we shall apply the Bochner's theorem to prove certain combinations of Euler's q-exponentials are positive definite functions. Then we apply this positivity to prove curious inequalities for the Jacobi theta function…
