We study the $q$-bracket operator of Bloch and Okounkov when applied to $f(\lambda)=\sum_{\lambda_i \in \lambda}g(\lambda_i)$ and $f(\lambda)=\sum_{\substack{\lambda_i \in \lambda \lambda_i \text{distinct} }}g(\lambda_i)$. We use these…

Positive definite functions are very important in both theory and applications of approximation theory, probability and statistics. In particular, identifying strictly positive definite kernels is of great interest as interpolation problems…

The classical Eulerian polynomials can be expanded in the basis $t^{k-1}(1+t)^{n+1-2k}$ ($1\leq k\leq\lfloor (n+1)/2\rfloor$) with positive integral coefficients. This formula implies both the symmetry and the unimodality of the Eulerian…

Using numerical, theoretical and general methods, we construct evaluation formulas for the Jacobi $\theta$ functions. Some of our results are conjectures, but are verified numerically.

We find a combinatorial interpretation of Shareshian and Wachs' $q$-binomial-Eulerian polynomials, which leads to an alternative proof of their $q$-$\gamma$-positivity using group actions. Motivated by the sign-balance identity of…

We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…

Assuming that there exist operators which form an irreducible representation of the q-superoscillator algebra, it is proved that any two such representations are equivalent, related by a uniquely determined superunitary transformation. This…

In this paper we study that the $q$-Euler numbers and polynomials are analytically continued to $E_q(s)$. A new formula for the Euler's $q$-Zeta function $\zeta_{E,q}(s)$ in terms of nested series of $\zeta_{E,q}(n)$ is derived. Finally we…

As is well-known, a generalization of the classical concept of the factorial $n!$ for a real number $x\in {\mathbb R}$ is the value of Euler's gamma function $\Gamma(1+x)$. In this connection, the notion of a binomial coefficient naturally…
