The aim of this article is to provide characterizations for subadditivity-like growth conditions for the so-called associated weight functions in terms of the defning weight sequence. Such growth requirements arise frequently in the…

In this paper we construct a Dwork theory for general exponential sums over affinoids in Witt towers. Using this, we compute the degree of the $L$-function, its Hodge polygon and examine when the Hodge and Newton polygons coincide.

A planar tree power series over a field $K$ is a formal expression $$\sum c_T \cdot T$$ where the sum is extended over all isomorphism classes of finite planar reduced rooted trees $T$ and where the coefficients $c_T$ are in $K$.…

In this paper, we will extend the falling and rising factorial transforms \cite{ref. 1} which in this case every arbitrary function can be applied. Then, the properties of these transforms will be investigated and some corollaries will be…

In this paper we revisit the description of all verbal subgroups of the group of automorphisms of a regular rooted tree $\mathcal{T}_d$, for $d>2$ and odd.

Let $I\subseteq{\mathbb{R_+}}$ be a non empty and non singleton interval where ${\mathbb{R_+}}$ denotes the set of all non negative numbers. A function $\Phi: I\to {\mathbb{R_+}}$ is said to be subadditive if for any $x,y$ and $x+y\in I$,…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group. We count \'etale $G$-extensions of global rational function fields $\mathbb F_q(T)$ of characteristic $p$ by the degree of what we call their Artin-Schreier conductor. The corresponding (ordinary)…

We prove that if two additive functions (from a certain class) take large values with roughly the same probability then they must be identical. This is a consequence of a structure theorem making clear the inter-relation between the…

A spectrally positive additive L\'evy field is a multidimensional field obtained as the sum $\mathbf{X}_{\rm t}={\rm X}^{(1)}_{t_1}+{\rm X}^{(2)}_{t_2}+\dots+{\rm X}^{(d)}_{t_d}$, ${\rm t}=(t_1,\dots,t_d)\in\mathbb{R}_+^d$, where ${\rm…

Let $[a,b]\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a non empty and non singleton closed interval and $P=\{a=x_0<\cdots<x_n=b\}$ is a partition of it. Then $f:I\to\mathbb{R}$ is said to be a function of $r$-bounded variation, if the expression…

The functor that takes a ring to its category of modules has an adjoint if one remembers the forgetful functor to abelian groups: the endomorphism ring of linear natural transformations. This uses the self-enrichment of the category of…

This article characterizes the associativity of two-place functions $T: [0,1]^2\rightarrow [0,1]$ defined by $T(x,y)=f^{(-1)}(F(f(x),f(y)))$ where $F:[0,1]^2\rightarrow[0,1]$ is a triangular norm (even a triangular subnorm), $f:…

In this paper we face the problem of representation of functional data with the tools of algebraic topology. We represent functions by means of merge trees, which, like the more commonly used persistence diagrams, are invariant under…

A centroid node in a tree is a node for which the sum of the distances to all other nodes attains its minimum, or equivalently a node with the property that none of its branches contains more than half of the other nodes. We generalise some…

We study enumerations of Dyck and ballot tilings, which are tilings of a region determined by two Dyck or ballot paths. We give bijective proofs to two formulae of enumerations of Dyck tilings through Hermite histories. We show that one of…

Let $G$ be a simple connected complex Lie group. The additive eigencone of $G$ is a polyhedral cone containing the set of solutions to the additive eigenvalue problem, a generalization of the Hermitian eigenvalue problem. The additive…

We prove that the multiplicity of a fixed eigenvalue $\alpha$ in a random recursive tree on $n$ vertices satisfies a central limit theorem with mean and variance asymptotically equal to $\mu_{\alpha} n$ and $\sigma^2_{\alpha} n$…

We apply the concept of parking functions to rooted labelled trees and functional digraphs of mappings (i.e., functions $f : [n] \to [n]$) by considering the nodes as parking spaces and the directed edges as one-way streets: Each driver has…

We define finite field $A$-hypergeometric functions and show that they are Fourier expansions of families of exponential sums on the torus. For an appropriate choice of $A$, our finite field $A$-hypergeometric function can be specialized to…

We study an abstract notion of tree structure which lies at the common core of various tree-like discrete structures commonly used in combinatorics: trees in graphs, order trees, nested subsets of a set, tree-decompositions of graphs and…
