We consider a class of generalized binomials emerging in fractional calculus. After establishing some general properties, we focus on a particular yet relevant case, for which we provide several ready-for-use combinatorial identities,…
We present a new formula for umbral operators that yields three main insights. First, it makes explicit a connection between umbral calculus and iteration theory. Second, it leads naturally to a definition of fractional exponents of umbral…
We prove a continued fraction expansion for the reciprocal of a certain $q$-series. All the specialists in the world are asked whether it is new or not.
Erd\H{o}s and Graham define $g(n) = n + \phi(n)$ and the iterated application $g_k(n) = g(g_{k-1}(n))$. They ask for solutions of $g_{k+r}(n) = 2 g_{k}(n)$ and observe $g_{k+2}(10) = 2 g_{k}(10)$ and $g_{k+2}(94) = 2 g_{k}(94)$. We show…
Our aim is to find a complex continued fraction algorithm finding all the best Diophantine approximations to a complex number. Using the sequence of minimal vectors in a two dimensional lattice over Gaussian integers, we obtain an algorithm…
We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…
Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…
In this paper, we investigate the monotone property of the continued fractions $G(m,\lambda)$ as a function of $m$ and $\lambda$. In particular, we obtain new inequality for the relative continued fractions.
We look at extensions of formulas given by Jovovic and recently proved by Dhar on integer partitions where the smallest part occurs at least $m$ times and on integer partitions with fixed differences between the largest and smallest parts…
In [BS] Babson and Steingrimsson introduced generalized permutation patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. Let $f_{\tau;r}(n)$ be the number of $1\mn3\mn2$-avoiding…
In this paper we define a new type of continued fraction expansion for a real number $x \in I_m:=[0,m-1], m\in N_+, m\geq 2$: \[x = \frac{m^{-b_1(x)}}{\displaystyle 1+\frac{m^{-b_2(x)}}{1+\ddots}}:=[b_1(x), b_2(x), ...]_m. \] Then, we…
We consider two classes of $q$-continued fraction whose odd and even parts are limit 1-periodic for $|q|>1$, and give theorems which guarantee the convergence of the continued fraction, or of its odd- and even parts, at points outside the…
We present a new alternating convolution formula for the super Catalan numbers which arises as a generalization of two known binomial identities. We prove a generalization of this formula by using auxiliary sums, recurrence relations, and…
An elementary but useful fact is that the numerator of the difference of two consecutive Farey fractions is equal to one. For triples of consecutive fractions the numerators of the differences are well understood and have applications to…
We present normal forms for elliptic curves over a field of characteristic $2$ analogous to Edwards normal form, and determine bases of addition laws, which provide strikingly simple expressions for the group law. We deduce efficient…
We study continued logarithms as introduced by Bill Gosper and studied by J. Borwein et. al.. After providing an overview of the type I and type II generalizations of binary continued logarithms introduced by Borwein et. al., we focus on a…
For a monic polynomial $D(X)$ of even degree, express $\sqrt D$ as a Laurent series in $X^{-1}$; this yields a continued fraction expansion (similar to continued fractions of real numbers): \[\sqrt…
The objective of this paper is to show (a)=(b)=(c) as rational functions of $T$, $U$ for (a), (b), (c) given by (a) continued fractions of length $2^{n+1}-1$ with explicit partial denominators in $\left\{-T,U^{-1}T\right\}$, (b) truncated…
In some recent papers, the authors considered regular continued fractions of the form \[ [a_{0};\underbrace{a,...,a}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{2},...,a^{2}}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{3},...,a^{3}}_{m}, ... ], \] where $a_{0} \geq 0$, $a \geq 2$ and $m…
It is shown in [7] by Venkaiah in 2015 that a category of the number of generalized can be computed using the expression \begin{equation*} e(n, q) = \frac{1}{(q-1) ord(\lambda) n} \sum^{ord(\lambda)n}_{\substack{t \in \mathbb{F}_q \setminus…
