A seminal result of E. Ehrhart states that the number of integer lattice points in the dilation of a rational polytope by a positive integer $k$ is a quasi-polynomial function of $k$ --- that is, a "polynomial" in which the coefficients are…

We give two tests for transcendence of Mahler functions. For our first, we introduce the notion of the eigenvalue $\lambda_F$ of a Mahler function $F(z)$, and develop a quick test for the transcendence of $F(z)$ over $\mathbb{C}(z)$, which…

A new class of rational parametrization has been developed and it was used to generate a new family of rational functions B-splines $\displaystyle{{\left({}^{\alpha}{\mathbf B}_{i}^{k} \right)}_{i=0}^{k}}$ which depends on an index $\alpha…

In this article, we explore a natural extension of the quadratic parametrization introduced in our previous work. By replacing the integer $n$ by $n^s$ ($ s\in\mathbb{R}, s>1$) and allowing the parameters to be real, we obtain for each…

Let $A$ and $B$ be non-constant rational functions over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $K \subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ be an infinite set. Using height functions, we prove that the inclusion $ A^{-1}(K) \subseteq B^{-1}(K) $ implies the…

We show the recurrence relations of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-function which describes the $r$-fold function with one variable specialized to a non-positive integer as a rational linear combination of $(r-1)$-fold functions, which…

Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $\psi(x, y, z; t, 1+\beta)$ that might be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the generating series of rooted hypermaps. They…

For R(z, w) rational with complex coefficients, of degree at least 2 in w, we show that the number of rational functions f(z) solving the difference equation f(z+1)=R(z, f(z)) is finite and bounded just in terms of the degrees of R in the…

We say that a formal power series $\sum a_n z^n$ with rational coefficients is a 2-function if the numerator of the fraction $a_{n/p}-p^2 a_n$ is divisible by $p^2$ for every prime number $p$. One can prove that 2-functions with rational…

The zeta-function of a complex variety is a power series whose nth coefficient is the nth symmetric power of the variety, viewed as an element in the Grothendieck ring of complex varieties. We prove that the zeta-function of a surface is…

In \cite{d4}, we gave a method to construct a continued fraction of the function $F(x):=e^{x}E_{1}(x)$. More precisely we define $F_{1}(x)$ as the reciprocal of $F(x)$ and we inductively define $F_{m}(x)$ as the reciprocal of ``$F_{m-1}(x)$…

In the case of rational Cherednik algebras associated with cyclic groups, we give an alternative proof that the projective object $P_{\text{KZ}}$ representing the KZ-functor is isomorphic to the $\Delta$-module associated with the…

For every multivariable polynomial $p$, with $p(0)=1$, we construct a determinantal representation $$p=\det (I - K Z),$$ where $Z$ is a diagonal matrix with coordinate variables on the diagonal and $K$ is a complex square matrix. Such a…

In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of Laurent series, the author derived explicit series for the values of $\zeta$-funtion at positive integers, where $\zeta$ denotes the Riemann zeta function. The values of…

We introduce a one-parameter family of series associated to the Riemann $\zeta$-function and prove that the values of the elements of this family at integers are linearly independent over the rationals for almost all values of the…

In 1971, Ruzsa conjectured that if $f:\ \mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ with $f(n+k)\equiv f(n)$ mod $k$ for every $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $f(n)=O(\theta^n)$ with $\theta<e$ then $f$ is a polynomial. In this paper, we investigate the…

For a generic class of rational functions, we give an explicit description of the flat structure on the Riemann sphere induced by a meromorphic 1-form R(z)dz, where R is a rational function. The rational functions in the generic class we…

A simple integral formula as an iterated residue is presented for the Baker-Akhiezer function related to $A_n$ type root system both in the rational and trigonometric cases. We present also a formula for the Baker-Akhiezer function as a…

Let $A$ be a local Artinian Gorenstein ring with algebraically closed residue field $A/{\frak M}=k$ of characteristic 0, and let $P_A(z) := \sum_{p=0}^{\infty} ({\mathrm{ Tor}}_p^A(k,k))z^p $ be its Poincar\'e series. We prove that $P_A(z)$…

The functional equation f(p(z))=g(q(z)) is studied, where p,q are polynomials and f,g are trancendental meromorphic functions in C. We find all the pairs p,q for which there exist nonconstant f,g satisfying our equation and there exist no…
