Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…
We study some classes of equations with Carlitz derivatives for $F_q$-linear functions, which are the natural function field counterparts of linear ordinary differential equations with a regular singularity. In particular, an analog of the…

We study the class of univariate polynomials $\beta_k(X)$, introduced by Carlitz, with coefficients in the algebraic function field $\mathbb F_q(t)$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. It is implicit in the work of…
Fox's conjecture from 1962, that the absolute values of the coefficients of the Alexander polynomial of an alternating link are trapezoidal, has remained stubbornly open to this date. Recently Fox's conjecture was settled for all special…
We introduce the notion of a confluent Vandermonde matrix with quaternion entries and discuss its connection with Lagrange-Hermite interpolation over quaternions. Further results include the formula for the rank of a confluent Vandermonde…
We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…
We introduce a new generalization of Stirling numbers of the second kind and analyze their properties, including generating functions, integral representations, and recurrence relations. These numbers are used to approximate Riemann zeta…
A formula discovered by L. Carlitz in 1935 finds an interesting application in permutation rational functions of finite fields. It allows us to determine all rational functions of degree three that permute the projective line $\Bbb P^1(\Bbb…
Many standard conversion matrices between coefficients in classical orthogonal polynomial expansions can be decomposed using diagonally-scaled Hadamard products involving Toeplitz and Hankel matrices. This allows us to derive…
In this paper we describe new noncommutative factorizations of functions related to $d$-th tensor powers of Carlitz's $\mathbb F_q[\theta]$-module for $d\geq 1$, called higher sine functions. In recent work by the second author,…

The inverse of the Vandermonde and confluent Vandermonde matrices are presented. In the case of the Vandermonde matrix, we present a decomposition in three factors, one of them a diagonal matrix. The evaluation of such inverse matrices is a…

We make a detailed account of sign-normalized rank 1 Drinfeld A-modules, for A the coordinate ring of an elliptic curve over a finite field, in order to provide a parallel theory to the Carlitz module for F_q[t]. Using precise formulas for…
