The Ehrhart polynomial $L_P$ of an integral polytope $P$ counts the number of integer points in integral dilates of $P$. Ehrhart polynomials of polytopes are often described in terms of their Ehrhart $h^*$-vector (aka Ehrhart…

In this paper, we answer two questions on local $h$-vectors, which were asked by Athanasiadis. First, we characterize all possible local $h$-vectors of quasi-geometric subdivisions of a simplex. Second, we prove that the local…

The descent polynomials of separable permutations and derangements are both demonstrated to be unimodal. Moreover, we prove that the $\gamma$-coefficients of the first are positive with an interpretation parallel to the classical Eulerian…

This paper sets out to introduce the generalized derangement polynomials of order $r $. It then proceeds to establish various identities associated with these polynomials, along with providing recurrence relations for derangement…

The relations between the Bernoulli and Eulerian polynomials of higher order and the complete Bell polynomials are found that lead to new identities for the Bernoulli and Eulerian polynomials and numbers of higher order. General form of…

Subresultants of two univariate polynomials are one of the most classic and ubiquitous objects in computational algebra and algebraic geometry. In 1948, Habicht discovered and proved interesting relationships among subresultants. Those…

The concept and the construction of modular graph functions are generalized from genus-one to higher genus surfaces. The integrand of the four-graviton superstring amplitude at genus-two provides a generating function for a special class of…

Orthogonal polynomials with respect to the hypergeometric distribution on lattices in polyhedral domains in ${\mathbb R}^d$, which include hexagons in ${\mathbb R}^2$ and truncated tetrahedrons in ${\mathbb R}^3$, are defined and studied.…

We investigate the Ehrhart polynomial for the class of 0-symmetric convex lattice polytopes in Euclidean $n$-space $\mathbb{R}^n$. It turns out that the roots of the Ehrhart polynomial and Minkowski's successive minima are closely related…

We construct differential algebras in which spaces of (one-dimensional) periodic ultradistributions are embedded. By proving a Schwartz impossibility type result, we show that our embeddings are optimal in the sense of being consistent with…

Charlier configurations provide a combinatorial model for Charlier polynomials. We use this model to give a combinatorial proof of a multilinear generating function for Charlier polynomials. As special cases of the multilinear generating…

Using the theory of exponential Riordan arrays, we show that the $1/k$-Eulerian polynomials are moments for a paramaterized family of orthogonal polynomials. In addition, we show that the related Savage-Viswanathan polynomials are also…

We consider the algebra $R$ generated by three elements $A,B,H$ subject to three relations $[H,A]=A$, $[H,B]=-B$ and $\{A,B\}=f(H)$. When $f(H)=H$ this coincides with the Lie superalgebra $osp(1/2)$; when $f$ is a polynomial we speak of…

We give a new proof that the empirical measures of the roots of Eulerian polynomials converge to a certain log-Cauchy distribution. To do so, we show that each moment of the roots of a related family of polynomials not only converge, but in…

We extend the notion of parking function polytopes and study their geometric and combinatorial structure, including normal fans, face posets, and $h$-polynomials, as well as their connections to other classes of polytopes. To capture their…

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 consider the Ehrhart polynomial of hypersimplices. It is proved that these polynomials have positive coefficients and we give a combinatorial formula for each of them. This settles a problem posed by Stanley and also proves that uniform…
