We study a recurrence defined on a three dimensional lattice and prove that its values are Laurent polynomials in the initial conditions with all coefficients equal to one. This recurrence was studied by Propp and by Fomin and Zelivinsky.…

Denote by p_k the k-th power sum symmetric polynomial n variables. The interpretation of the q-analogue of the binomial coefficient as Hilbert function leads us to discover that n consecutive power sums in n variables form a regular…

We study the problem of minimizing the supremum norm, on a segment of the real line or on a compact set in the plane, by polynomials with integer coefficients. The extremal polynomials are naturally called integer Chebyshev polynomials.…

We give a new proof of the identity $\zeta(\{2,1\}^l)=\zeta(\{3\}^l)$ of the multiple zeta values, where $l=1,2,\dots$, using generating functions of the underlying generalized polylogarithms. In the course of study we arrive at…

Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential…

We obtain exact, simple and very compact expressions for the linearization coefficients of the products of orthogonal polynomials; both the conventional Clebsch-Gordan-type and the modified version. The expressions are general depending…

We show how to obtain linear combinations of polynomials in an orthogonal sequence $\{P_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, such as $Q_{n,k}(x)=\sum\limits_{i=0}^k a_{n,i}P_{n-i}(x)$, $a_{n,0}a_{n,k}\neq0$, that characterize quasi-orthogonal polynomials of…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and suppose that $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ satisfies a recurrence of the form $$f(n)\ =\ \sum_{i=1}^d P_i(n) f(n-i),$$ for $n$ sufficiently large, where $P_1(z),...,P_d(z)$ are polynomials in $K[z]$.…

In this note we investigate the discrete spectrum of Jacobi matrix corresponding to polynomials defined by recurrence relations with periodic coefficients. As examples we consider a)the case when period $N$ of coefficients of recurrence…

We first show the existence and nature of convergence to a limiting set of roots for polynomials in a three-term recurrence of the form $p_{n+1}(z) = Q_k(z)p_{n}(z)+ \gamma p_{n-1}(z)$ as $n$ $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, where the coefficient…

The study of sequences of polynomials satisfying high order recurrence relations is connected with the asymptotic behavior of multiple orthogonal polynomials, the convergence properties of type II Hermite-Pad\'e approximation, and…

We study the asymptotic behavior of Multiple Meixner polynomials of first and second kind, respectively (see J. Arves\'u et al. J. Comput. Appl. Math., 153, (2003)). We use an algebraic function formulation for the solution of the…

We study how often exceptional configurations of irreducible polynomials over finite fields occur in the context of prime number races and Chebyshev's bias. In particular, we show that three types of biases, which we call "complete bias",…

Nuij's theorem states that if a polynomial $p\in \mathbb{R}[z]$ is hyperbolic (i.e., has only real roots) then $p+sp'$ is also hyperbolic for any $s\in \mathbb{R}$. We study other perturbations of hyperbolic polynomials of the form…

In this article, a new approach based on linear algebra is adopted to study a hybrid Sheffer polynomial sequences. The recurrence relations and differential equation for these polynomials are derived by using the properties and…

We construct a combinatorial model that is described by the cube recurrence, a nonlinear recurrence relation introduced by Propp, which generates families of Laurent polynomials indexed by points in $\mathbb{Z}^3$. In the process, we prove…

We investigate generalizations of the Charlier polynomials on the lattice $\mathbb{N}$, on the shifted lattice $\mathbb{N}+1-\beta$ and on the bi-lattice $\mathbb{N}\cup (\mathbb{N}+1-\beta)$. We show that the coefficients of the three-term…

The linearization coefficients for a set of orthogonal polynomials are given explicitly as a weighted sum of combinatorial objects. Positivity theorems of Askey and Szwarc are corollaries of these expansions.

We give the distribution functions, the expected values, and the moments of linear combinations of lattice polynomials from the uniform distribution. Linear combinations of lattice polynomials, which include weighted sums, linear…

Orthogonal polynomials satisfy a recurrence relation of order two, where appear two coefficients. If we modify one of these coefficients at a certain order, we obtain a perturbed orthogonal sequence. In this work we consider in this way…
