In 1993 Delest and F\'edou showed that a generating function for connected skew shapes is given as a ratio $J_{\nu+1}/J_{\nu}$ of the Hahn--Exton $q$-Bessel functions when a parameter $\nu$ is zero. They conjectured that when $\nu$ is a…

We count the number of distinct (scattered) subwords occurring in the base-b expansion of the non-negative integers. More precisely, we consider the sequence $(S_b(n))_{n\ge 0}$ counting the number of positive entries on each row of a…

Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition (but no multiplication). We characterize sets that can be defined by a Presburger formula as exactly the sets whose characteristic functions can be…

The explicit formulas of operations, in particular addition and multiplication, of $p $-adic integers are presented. As applications of the results, at first the explicit formulas of operations of Witt vectors with coefficients in…

Explicit expressions for restricted partition function $W(s,{\bf d}^m)$ and its quasiperiodic components $W_j(s,{\bf d}^m)$ (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers ${\bf d}^m = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_m\}$ are derived. The…

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…

The generating function for the number of purely crossing partitions of {1,...,n} is found in terms of the generating function for Bell numbers. Further results about generating functions for asymptotic moments of certain random Vandermonde…

The integer $d$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^r p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $d=\prod_{i=1}^r p_i^{c_i}$, where $c_i \mid a_i$ for every $1\le i \le r$. The integers $n=\prod_{i=1}^r p_i^{a_i}, m=\prod_{i=1}^r p_i^{b_i}>1$ having…

Suppose $p$ is a prime, $t$ is a positive integer, and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients of absolute value $<\!p^t$. We show that for any fixed $t$, we can compute the number of roots in…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. Gauss first introduced the polynomial $S_p(x)=\prod_{c}(x-\zeta_p^c),$ where $0<c<p$ and $c$ varies over all quadratic residues modulo $p$ and $\zeta_p=e^{2\pi i/p}$. Later Dirichlet investigated this polynomial and…

Sequences are often conveniently encoded in the form of a generating function depending on a formal variable. This note presents two observations that allow one to draw conclusions about the generated sequence from the generating function.…

For any finite partially ordered set $P$, the $P$-Eulerian polynomial is the generating function for the descent number over the set of linear extensions of $P$, and is closely related to the order polynomial of $P$ arising in the theory of…

In recent, H. Sun defined a new kind of refined Eulerian polynomials, namely, \begin{eqnarray*} A_n(p,q)=\sum_{\pi\in \mathfrak{S}_n}p^{{\rm odes}(\pi)}q^{{\rm edes}(\pi)} \end{eqnarray*} for $n\geq 1$, where ${odes}(\pi)$ and ${edes}(\pi)$…

Seminal works by Birch and Ihara gave formulas for the $m$th power moments of the traces of Frobenius endomorphisms of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ for primes $p \geq 5$. Recent works by Kaplan and Petrow generalized these results…

In this paper, we demonstrate an elementary method for constructing new solutions to Bochner's problem for matrix differential operators from known solutions. We then describe a large family of solutions to Bochner's problem, obtained from…

(Dieudonn\'e and) Dwork's lemma gives a necessary and sufficient condition for an exponential of a formal power series $S(z)$ with coefficients in $Q_p$ to have coefficients in $Z_p$. We establish theorems on the $p$-adic valuation of the…

We define the $\textit{Divisor Divisibility Sequence}$ associated to a Laurent polynomial $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X_1^{\pm1},\ldots,X_N^{\pm1}]$ to be the sequence $W_n(f)=\prod f(\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_N)$, where $\zeta_1,\ldots,\zeta_N$ range over…

In this paper we consider the rank generating function of a separable permutation $\pi$ in the weak Bruhat order on the two intervals $[\text{id}, \pi]$ and $[\pi, w_0]$, where $w_0 = n,(n-1),..., 1$. We show a surprising result that the…
