We introduce new families of combinatorial objects whose enumeration computes volumes of flow polytopes. These objects provide an interpretation, based on parking functions, of Baldoni and Vergne's generalization of a volume formula…

We introduce a partial order on the set of all normal polytopes in R^d. This poset NPol(d) is a natural discrete counterpart of the continuum of convex compact sets in R^d, ordered by inclusion, and exhibits a remarkably rich combinatorial…

It is known that Euler numbers, defined as the Taylor coefficients of the tangent and secant functions, count alternating permutations in the symmetric group. Springer defined a generalization of these numbers for each finite Coxeter group…

This paper, along with E592 and E636, seems to consider the binomial expansion (1+z)^n in the case where z is complex. Euler even gives the sums of divergent series. The paper is translated from Euler's Latin original into German.

It is known that the Ehrhart polynomials of cross-polytopes, as well as of pyramids over them, have positive coefficients. We give a combinatorial proof of this fact by showing that a scaled version of the Ehrhart polynomials are generating…

We introduce two explicit examples of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Moments and the reflection coefficients are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. We find explicit expression for these polynomials in terms of a…

Given a directed graph D = (N, A) and a sequence of positive integers 1 <= c_1 < c_2 < ... < c_m <= |N|, we consider those path and cycle polytopes that are defined as the convex hulls of simple paths and cycles of D of cardinality c_p for…

We study the higher-order Euler polynomials and give the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials, which are Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials with certain arguments and constant factors. Moreover, through a general connection between moments…

It is proved that a certain symmetric sequence of nonnegative integers arising in the enumeration of magic squares of given size n by row sums or, equivalently, in the generating function of the Ehrhart polynomial of the polytope of doubly…

A function g, with domain the natural numbers, is a quasi-polynomial if there exists a period m and polynomials p_0,p_1,...,p_{m-1} such that g(t)=p_i(t) for t=i mod m. Quasi-polynomials classically -- and "reasonably" -- appear in Ehrhart…

In previous works, an approach to the study of cyclic functions in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces has been presented, based on the study of so called \emph{optimal polynomial approximants}. In the present article, we extend such approach…

The aim of this work is to generalize the ultraholomorphic extension theorems from V. Thilliez in the weight sequence setting and from the authors in the weight function setting (of Roumieu type) to a mixed framework. Such mixed results…

We define sets of orthogonal polynomials satisfying the additional constraint of a vanishing average. These are of interest, for example, for the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional for electronic or nucleonic densities and for the study…

We characterize the edges of two classes of $0/1$-polytopes. The first class corresponds to the stable set polytope of a graph $G$ and includes chain polytopes of posets, some instances of matroid independence polytopes, as well as…

Let $\{a_{1}, a_{2},\ldots, a_{n},\ldots\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers which has at most polynomial growth and satisfies an extra assumption. In this paper, inspired by a recent work of Sasane, we give an explanation of the sum…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a Weyl arrangement. We introduce and study the notion of $\mathcal{A}$-Eulerian polynomial producing an Eulerian-like polynomial for any subarrangement of $\mathcal{A}$. This polynomial together with shift operator…

In this article we generalize the $q$-difference operator due to Carlitz in order to derive explicit sum formulae for several extensions of Stirling numbers of the second kind, including complete homogeneous symmetric functions,…

Universal cycles are generalizations of de Bruijn cycles and Gray codes that were introduced originally by Chung, Diaconis, and Graham in 1990. They have been developed by many authors since, for various combinatorial objects such as…

We collect and organise known results and add some new ones of the following nature: if A is a bounded operator in a Hilbert or Banach space, does there exist a nonconstant polynomial p(z) such that p(A) is "simpler", "nicer" than A. The…

Weighted cone-volume functionals are introduced for the convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. For these functionals, geometric inequalities are proved and the equality conditions are characterized. A variety of corollaries are derived,…
