This work presents a study of perturbations of symmetric Boolean functions. In particular, it establishes a connection between exponential sums of these perturbations and Diophantine equations of the form $$ \sum_{l=0}^n \binom{n}{l}…
In this work, an effective construction, via Sch\"utzenberger's monoidal factorization, of dual bases for the non commutative symmetric and quasi-symmetric functions is proposed.
We give explicit constructions for incomplete pairwise balanced designs IPBD$((v;w),K)$, or, equivalently, edge-decompositions of a difference of two cliques $K_v \setminus K_w$ into cliques whose sizes belong to the set $K$. Our…
We discuss functions from edges and vertices of an undirected graph to an Abelian group. Such functions, when the sum of their values along any cycle is zero, are called balanced labelings. The set of balanced labelings forms an Abelian…
We introduce a new type of multiple zeta functions, which we call bilateral zeta functions, analogous to the Barnes zeta functions. The bilateral zeta function is a periodic function and shares certain basic properties of Barnes zeta…
Zagier in [4] discusses a construction of a function $F_{k,D}(x)$ defined for an even integer $k \geq 2$, and a positive discriminant $D$. This construction is intimately related to half-integral weight modular forms. In particular, the…
We study entire functions whose zeros and one-points lie on distinct finite systems of rays. General restrictions on these rays are obtained. Non-trivial examples of entire functions with zeros and one-points on different rays are…
We construct bases of quasi-symmetric functions whose product rule is given by the shuffle of binary words, as for multiple zeta values in their integral representations, and then extend the construction to the algebra of free…
A production function $f$ is called quasi-sum if there are strict monotone functions $F, h_1,...,h_n$ with $F'>0$ such that $$f(x)= F(h_1 (x_1)+...+h_n (x_n)).$$ The justification for studying quasi-sum production functions is that these…
This paper is a continuation of our previous analysis [BBCKK] of partition functions zeros in models with first-order phase transitions and periodic boundary conditions. Here it is shown that the assumptions under which the results of…
Almost difference sets have emerged as a fascinating and important area of research as they can produce functions with optimal nonlinearity, cyclic codes, and binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation. This study aims to investigate the…
Boolean calculus has been studied extensively in the past in the context of switching circuits, error-correcting codes etc. This work generalizes several approaches to defining a differential calculus for Boolean functions. A unified theory…
The purpose of this note is to consider in detail the construction of derived functors. The classical construction, such as in Cartan-Eilenberg or Grothendieck, is clarified, and it is shown, at the same time, that everything can be…
By using sheaf-theoretical methods such as constructible sheaves, we generalize the formula of Libgober-Sperber concerning the zeta functions of monodromy at infinity of polynomial maps into various directions. In particular, some formulas…
The aim of this paper is to establish a contravariant adjunction between the category of quasi-bialgebras and a suitable full subcategory of dual quasi-bialgebras, adapting the notion of finite dual to this framework. Various functorial…
A product formula for the parity generating function of the number of 1's in invertible matrices over Z_2 is given. The computation is based on algebraic tools such as the Bruhat decomposition. The same technique is used to obtain a parity…
We introduce and study new versions of polylogarithms and a zeta function on a completion of $\mathbb F_q (x)$ at a finite place. The construction is based on the use of the Carlitz differential equations for $\mathbb F_q$-linear functions.
The purpose of this note is to build upon work of Booker--Thorne and Righetti concerning zeros of algebraic combinations of $L$-functions. Namely, we show that two generic combinations of functions from a wide class of Euler products have…
Zeta functions of periodic cubical lattices are explicitly derived by computing all the eigenvalues of the adjacency operators and their characteristic polynomials. We introduce cyclotomic-like polynomials to give factorization of the zeta…
We prove some properties of completely monotonic functions and apply them to obtain results on gamma and $q$-gamma functions.
