This paper is a study of power series, where the coefficients are binomial expressions (iterated finite differences). Our results can be used for series summation, for series transformation, or for asymptotic expansions involving Stirling…

Let $X_1, X_2,\dots$ be a short-memory linear process of random variables. For $1\leq q<2$, let $\cF$ be a bounded set of real-valued functions on $[0,1]$ with finite $q$-variation. It is proved that…

We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…

A finite sum of exponential functions may be expressed by a linear combination of powers of the independent variable and by successive integrals of the sum. This is proved for the general case and the connection between the parameters in…

We are interested in finding an explicit estimate to the binomial sum $Q_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} k! {n\choose k}^2 (-x)^{k}$ at $x=1$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$. Despite of its own interest the polynomial $Q_n(x)$ is important as the denominator in…

We prove asymptotic formulae for sums of the form $$ \sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^d\cap K}\prod_{i=1}^tF_i(\psi_i(n)), $$ where $K$ is a convex body, each $F_i$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the representation function of a quadratic form,…

The main aim of this article is a careful investigation of the asymptotic behavior of zeros of Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind. It is shown that the zeros are all real and simple. The asymptotic expansions for the small, large, and…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \| f(z) \|=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…

Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…

As a variant of Zeckendorf's theorem, Chung and Graham proved that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed into a sum of even-indexed Fibonacci numbers, whose coefficients are either $0, 1$, or $2$ so that between two coefficients…

For the quantum integer [n]_q = 1+q+q^2+... + q^{n-1} there is a natural polynomial multiplication such that [mn]_q = [m]_q \otimes_q [n]_q. This multiplication is given by the functional equation f_{mn}(q) = f_m(q) f_n(q^m), defined on a…

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}$, where $F_1 = 1$, $F_2 = 2$ and $F_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1}$. For general recurrences…

We show that there exists $k \in \bbn$ and $0 < \e \in\bbr$ such that for every field $F$ of characteristic zero and for every $n \in \bbn$, there exists explicitly given linear transformations $T_1,..., T_k: F^n \to F^n$ satisfying the…

Using the technique developed in approximation theory, we construct examples of exponential families of infinitely divisible laws which can be viewed as deformations of the normal, gamma, and Poisson exponential families. Replacing the…

In this paper we give a classification of the asymptotic expansion of the $q$-expansion of reciprocals of Eisenstein series $E_k$ of weight $k$ for the modular group $\func{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. For $k \geq 12$ even, this extends results of…

Let $f$ be an indefinite ternary quadratic form, and let $q$ be an integer such that $-q det(f)$ is not a square. Let $N(T,f,q)$ denote the number of integral solutions of the equation $f(x)=q$ where $x$ lies in the ball of radius $T$…

We examine the asymptotic behaviour of the zeros of sections of the binomial expansion. That is, we consider the distribution of zeros of $\displaystyle B_{r,n}(z) = \sum_{k=0}^r {n \choose k} z^k$, where $1 \le r < n$.

In light of Kim's conjecture on regular polytopes of dimension four, which is a generalization of Waring's problem, we establish asymptotic formulas for representing any sufficiently large integer as a sum of numbers in the form of those…
