We introduce ballot matrices, a signed combinatorial structure whose definition naturally follows from the generating function for labeled interval orders. A sign reversing involution on ballot matrices is defined. We show that matrices…
Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…
We prove generalised concentration inequalities for a class of scaled self-bounding functions of independent random variables, referred to as ${(M,a,b)}$ self-bounding. The scaling refers to the fact that the component-wise difference is…
We determine the scaling limit for permutations conditioned to have longest decreasing subsequence of length at most $d$. These permutations are also said to avoid the pattern $(d+1)d \cdots 2 1$ and they can be written as a union of $d$…
We study relationships between permutation statistics and pattern-functions, counting the number of times particular patterns occur in a permutation. This allows us to write several familiar statistics as linear combinations of pattern…
Improved model independent upper bounds on the weak transition form factors are derived using inclusive sum rules. Comparison of the new bounds with the old ones is made for the form factors h_{A_1} and h_V in B -> D* decays.
The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the question of invertibility of the sum of operators. The setting is bounded and unbounded linear operators. Some interesting examples and consequences are given. As an illustrative…
We show that the growth of the principal M\"obius function on the permutation poset is exponential. This improves on previous work, which has shown that the growth is at least polynomial. We define a method of constructing a permutation…
Let the summatory function of the M\"{o}bius function be denoted $M(x)$. We deduce in this article conditional results concerning $M(x)$ assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal on the negative moments of the…
The objective of this paper is to obtain asymptotic results for shifted sums of multiplicative functions of the form $g \ast 1$, where the function $g$ satisfies the Ramanujan conjecture and has conjectured upper bounds on square moments of…
In this paper, we propose a complex approach to evaluate a function sum of two noncommuting non Hermitian operators. Then, it is proposed an explicit expansion of the evolution operator in the case of the neutral K-meson system under the…
In this paper, we investigate the M{\"o}bius function $\mu\_{\mathcal{S}}$ associated to a (locally finite) poset arising from a semigroup $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^m$. We introduce and develop a new approach to study…
In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…
We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…
We obtain reasonably tight upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_{n \leqslant x} \varphi \left( \left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor\right)$, involving the Euler functions $\varphi$ and the integer parts $\left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor$ of the…
A barcode is a finite multiset of intervals on the real line. Jaramillo-Rodriguez (2023) previously defined a map from the space of barcodes with a fixed number of bars to a set of multipermutations, which presented new combinatorial…
We outline a method of calculation of partition functions of orientable manifolds with fluctuating metric and perform the calculation for the specific case of the unit interval.
Landau examined the partial sums of the M\"obius function and the Liouville function for a number field $K$. First we shall try again the same problem by using a new Perron's formula due to Liu and Ye. Next we consider the equivalent…
Uniform upper bounds and the asymptotic expansion with an explicit remainder term are established for the Macdonald function $K_{i\tau}(x)$. The results can be applied, for instance, to study the summability of the divergent…
We consider Mertens' function M(x,q,a) in arithmetic progression, Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH), we show an upper bound that is uniform for all moduli which are not too large. For the proof, a former method of K.…
