This paper is concerned with a class of partition functions $a(n)$ introduced by Radu and defined in terms of eta-quotients. By utilizing the transformation laws of Newman, Schoeneberg and Robins, and Radu's algorithms, we present an…
We consider a new identity involving integrals and sums of Bessel functions. The identity provides new ways to evaluate integrals of products of two Bessel functions. The identity is remarkably simple and powerful since the summand and…
Convolutions for Tribonacci numbers involving binomial coefficients are treated with ordinary generating functions and the diagonalization method of Hautus and Klarner. In this way, the relevant generating function can be established, which…
An upper bound of the variation of argument of a holomorphic function along a curve on a Riemann surface is given. This bound is expressed through the Bernstein index of the function multiplied by a geometric constant. The Bernstein index…
We present probabilistic interpretations of solutions to semi-linear parabolic equations with polynomial nonlinearities in terms of the voting models on the genealogical trees of branching Brownian motion (BBM). These extend the connection…
By using the Wilf-Zeilberger method, we prove a novel finite combinatorial identity related to a bivariate generating function for $\zeta(2+r+2s)$ (an extension of a Bailey-Borwein-Bradley Apery-like formula for even zeta values). Such…
We obtain a new probabilistic representation for the solution of the heat equation in terms of a product for smooth random variables which is introduced and studied in this paper. This multiplication, expressed in terms of the…

We consider the framework of an operator-valued noncommutative probability space over a unital C*-algebra B. We show how for a B-valued distribution \mu one can define convolution powers with respect to free additive convolution and with…
We show how to extend the standard functional approach to bosonisation, based on a decoupling change of path-integral variables, to the case in which a finite temperature is considered. As examples, in order to both illustrate and check the…
We give an expression for the partition function of a one-dimensional log-gas comprised of particles of (possibly) different integer charge at inverse temperature {\beta} = 1 (restricted to the line in the presence of a neutralizing field)…
We introduce the degenerate Bernoulli numbers of the second kind as a degenerate version of the Bernoulli numbers of the second kind. We derive a family of nonlinear differential equations satisfied by a function closely related to the…
In 2008, Lehner, Wettig, Guhr and Wei conjectured a power series identity and showed that it implied a determinantal formula for a Bessel-type integral over the unitary supergroup. The integral is the supersymmetric extension of Bessel-type…
A certain special function of the generalized hypergeometric variety is shown to fulfill a host of useful noncommutative identities.
In this paper we prove characterizations of the discrete Besov spaces in terms of the heat and Poisson semigroups associated with the discrete Laplacian that will allow us to prove regularity results for the fractional powers of the…
We characterize the asymptotic behavior near blowup points for positive solutions of the semilinear heat equation \begin{equation*} \partial_t u-\Delta u =f(u), \end{equation*} for nonlinearities which are genuinely non scale invariant,…
In previous work on Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, certain remarkable hexagonal arrays of integers are constructed that display behaviors found in Pascal's Triangle. We explain these behaviors further using the binomial transform and discrete…
We describe a bilinear identity satisfied by certain multidimensional q-hypergeometric integrals. The identity can be considered as a deformation of the Riemann bilinear relation for the twisted de Rham (co)homologies. The identity also…
We introduce an analytically solvable model for a fragmented object that, despite of a low degree of randomness and of the extreme simplicity of the breaking process, displays non self-averaging effects in its thermodynamic limit.
In this paper, the existence of smooth positive solutions to a Robin boundary-value problem with non-homogeneous differential operator and reaction given by a nonlinear convection term plus a singular one is established. Proofs chiefly…
