We prove that, for all positive integers $n_1, \ldots, n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and non-negative integers $j$ and $r$ with $j\leqslant m$, the following two expressions \begin{align*} &\frac{1}{[n_1+n_m+1]}{n_1+n_{m}\brack…

For any q which is a power of 2 we describe a finite subgroup of the group of invertible complex q by q matrices under which the complete weight enumerators of generalized doubly-even self-dual codes over the field with q elements are…

We show that, for a certain class of partitions and an even number of variables of which half are reciprocals of the other half, Schur polynomials can be factorized into products of odd and even orthogonal characters. We also obtain related…

In earlier work, we introduced three families of polynomials where the generating function of each set includes one of the three Jackson $q$-analogs of the Bessel function. This paper gives determinant representation for each family, their…

We introduce a new approach for generating combinatorial identities and formulas by the application of Kronecker substitution to polynomial expansions within quotient rings. Our main result enables the derivation of elementary arithmetic…

We find a formula for the number of permutation polynomials of degree q-2 over a finite field Fq, which has q elements, in terms of the permanent of a matrix. We write down an expression for the number of permutation polynomials of degree…

We prove that if $k$ is a positive integer then for every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of cardinality $q\neq 2$ and for every positive integer $n$ such that $q^n>(k-1)^4$, every $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb{F}$ can be expressed as a sum of…

We prove polynomial identities for the N=1 superconformal model SM(2,4\nu) which generalize and extend the known Fermi/Bose character identities. Our proof uses the q-trinomial coefficients of Andrews and Baxter on the bosonic side and a…

Let $q>2$ be a prime power and $f={\tt x}^{q-2}+t{\tt x}^{q^2-q-1}$, where $t\in\Bbb F_q^*$. It was recently conjectured that $f$ is a permutation polynomial of $\Bbb F_{q^2}$ if and only if one of the following holds: (i) $t=1$, $q\equiv…

In this paper we extend a notion of Cassini determinant to recently introduced hyperfibonacci sequences. We find $Q$-matrix for the $r$-th generation hyperfibonacci numbers and prove an explicit expression of the Cassini determinant for…

The existence of certain Fq-spaces of differential forms of the projective line over a field K containing Fq leads us to prove an identity linking the determinant of the Moore matrix of n indeterminates with the determinant of the Moore…

In this paper, we derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to $q$-Euler polynomials and the $q$-analogue of alternating power sums. These and most of their corollaries are new, since there have been results only…

Bergeron--Ceballos--K\"ustner introduced the $q$-Fibonomial coefficients \( \qfibonom{m+n}{n}\), gave a combinatorial interpretation of the $q$-Fibonomial coefficients via a weighted path-domino tiling model, and conjectured that these…

Let $n$ be an odd positive integer. It was proved by Brass and Schmeisser that for every quadrature $$\mathcal{Q}=\alpha_1f(x_1)+\dots+\alpha_mf(x_m),$$ (with positive weights) of order at least $n+1$ and for every $n-$convex function $f,$…

The number of $n \times n$ matrices whose entries are either -1, 0, or 1, whose row- and column- sums are all 1, and such that in every row and every column the non-zero entries alternate in sign, is proved to be $[1!4! >...…

We study a unitary analog to Redheffer's matrix. It is first proved that the determinant of this matrix is the unitary analogue to that of Redheffer's matrix. We also show that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial may be…

In a previous article [math.CO/9712207], we derived the alternating-sign matrix (ASM) theorem from the Izergin-Korepin determinant for a partition function for square ice with domain wall boundary. Here we show that the same argument…

We announce a series of results on the combinatorial study of the q-Catalan triangle (C_{n,k}(q)), defined by C_{n,0}(q)=q^{n(n-1)/2} and C_{n,k}(q)=C_{n,k-1}(q)+q^{n-k-1}C_{n-1,k}(q). We establish combinatorial interpretations via a…

We prove K-theoretic generalizations of the component formulas of Knutson, Miller, and Shimozono, and deduce that K-theoretic quiver coefficients have alternating signs. We also prove new variants of the factor sequences conjecture, and a…

Dumont and Foata introduced in 1976 a three-variable symmetric refinement of Genocchi numbers, which satisfies a simple recurrence relation. A six-variable generalization with many similar properties was later considered by Dumont. They…
