A class of orthogonal polynomials associated with Coulomb wave functions is introduced. These polynomials play a role analogous to that the Lommel polynomials do in the theory of Bessel functions. The measure of orthogonality for this new…

We use cyclotomy to design new classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields. This allows us to generate many classes of permutation polynomials in an algorithmic way. Many of them are permutation polynomials of large indices.

Some Dirichlet-like functions, attached to a pair (periodic function, polynomial) are introduced and studied. These functions generalize the standard Dirichlet L-functions of Dirichlet characters. They have similar properties, being…

We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…

Polynomials commute under composition are referred to as commuting polynomials. In this paper, we study division properties for commuting polynomials with rational (and integer) coefficients. As a consequence, we show an algebraic…

We consider mixed type multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with a system of weight functions consisting of two vectors. One vector is defined in terms of scaled modified Bessel function of the first kind $I_\mu$ and $I_{\mu+1}$, the…

Polynomial functors are sums of covariant representable functors from the category of sets to itself. They have a robust theory with many applications -- from operads and opetopes to combinatorial species. In this paper, we define a…

In a recent article, the class of functions from the integers to the integers computable in polynomial time has been characterized using discrete ordinary differential equations (ODE), also known as finite differences. Doing so, we pointed…

We provide two new characterizations of bounded orthogonally additive polynomials from a uniformly complete vector lattice into a convex bornological space using harmonic means and completely partitioned weighted geometric means. Our result…

We describe some examples of classical and explicit h-transforms as particular cases of a general mechanism, which is related to the existence of symmetric diffusion operators having orthogonal polynomials as spectral decomposition.

Polynomial, or Delsarte's, method in coding theory accounts for a variety of structural results on, and bounds on the size of, extremal configurations (codes and designs) in various metric spaces. In recent works of the authors the…

We examine combinatorial counting functions with two parameters, $n$ and $q$. For fixed $q$, these functions are (quasi-)polynomial in $n$. As $q$ varies, the degree of this polynomial is itself polynomial in $q$, as are the leading…

We develop a diagrammatic categorification of the polynomial ring Z[x], based on a geometrically defined graded algebra. This construction generalizes to categorification of some special functions, such as Chebyshev polynomials.…

The discrete cosine transforms of types V--VIII are generalized to the antisymmetric and symmetric multivariate discrete cosine transforms. Four families of discretely and continuously orthogonal Chebyshev-like polynomials corresponding to…

In the work of Mukhin and Varchenko from 2002 there was introduced a Wronskian map from the variety of full flags in a finite dimensional vector space into a product of projective spaces. We establish a precise relationship between this map…

We introduce and study several combinatorial properties of a class of symmetric polynomials from the point of view of integrable vertex models in finite lattice. We introduce the $L$-operator related with the $U_q(sl_2)$ $R$-matrix, and…

We define a $q$-deformation of the classical ring of integer-valued polynomials which we call the ring of quantum integer-valued polynomials. We show that this ring has a remarkable combinatorial structure and enjoys many positivity…

Semi-bent Boolean functions are interesting from a cryptographic standpoint, since they possess several desirable properties such as having a low and flat Walsh spectrum, which is useful to resist linear cryptanalysis. In this paper, we…
