Given an integer $g$ and also some given integers $m$ (sufficiently large) and $c_1,\dots, c_m$, we show that the number of all non-negative integers $n\le M$ with the property that there exist non-negative integers $k_1,\dots, k_m$ such…
We study the finite dimensional spaces $V$ which are invariant under the action of the finite differences operator $\Delta_h^m$. Concretely, we prove that if $V$ is such an space, there exists a finite dimensional translation invariant…
We consider a certain left action by the monoid $SL_2(\mathbf{N}_0)$ on the set of divisor pairs $\mathcal{D}_f := \{ (m, n) \in \mathbf{N}_0 \times \mathbf{N}_0 : m \lvert f(n) \}$ where $f \in \mathbf{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial with integer…
We introduce the following linear combination interpolation problem (LCI): Given $N$ distinct numbers $w_1,\ldots w_N$ and $N+1$ complex numbers $a_1,\ldots, a_N$ and $c$, find all functions $f(z)$ analytic in a simply connected set…
An irreducible polynomial over $\Bbb F_q$ is said to be normal over $\Bbb F_q$ if its roots are linearly independent over $\Bbb F_q$. We show that there is a polynomial $h_n(X_1,\dots,X_n)\in\Bbb Z[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, independent of $q$, such…
Let $\mathcal{F}_n$ be the set of unitary polynomials of degree $n \ge 2$ that have their roots in $\mathbb{Z}^*$. We note $$ Q(x) := x^n+a_{1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_{n}. $$ We show that any two fixed consecutive coefficients $(a_{j},a_{j+1})$ ($j…
We consider two sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(Q_n)_{n\geq 0}$ such that $$ \sum_{j=1} ^{M} a_{j,n}\mathrm{S}_x\mathrm{D}_x ^k P_{k+n-j} (z)=\sum_{j=1} ^{N} b_{j,n}\mathrm{D}_x ^{m} Q_{m+n-j} (z)\;, $$ with…
We consider the asymptotic evaluation of the integral transform $\int_0^\infty f(x) \, \sin^n(\lambda x)/x^n \,\text{d} x$ of an exponential type function $f(x)$ of type $\tau>0$, for large values of the parameter $\lambda$, where $n$ is a…
In this paper, we study polynomial norms, i.e. norms that are the $d^{\text{th}}$ root of a degree-$d$ homogeneous polynomial $f$. We first show that a necessary and sufficient condition for $f^{1/d}$ to be a norm is for $f$ to be strictly…
Let $f,g_1,\dots,g_m$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ with real coefficients in a vector of variables $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. Assume that $f$ is non-negative on a basic semi-algebraic set $S$ defined by polynomial inequalities $g_j(x)\ge…
This paper mainly studies problems about so called "permutation polynomials modulo $m$", polynomials with integer coefficients that can induce bijections over Z_m={0,...,m-1}. The necessary and sufficient conditions of permutation…
Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…
Let $\nu_0(t),\nu_1(t),\,\ldots\,,\nu_n(t)$ be the roots of the equation $R(z)=t$, where $R(z)$ is a rational function of the form \[R(z)=z+\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\frac{\alpha_k}{z-\mu_k},\] $\mu_k$ are pairwise different real numbers,…
We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new results as well as strengthen existing results with new proofs.…
Let $\omega$ be a sequence of positive integers. Given a positive integer $n$, we define $$ r_n(\omega) = | \{ (a,b)\in \mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}\colon a,b \in \omega, a+b = n, 0 <a<b \}|. $$ S. Sidon conjectured that there exists a…
We prove an analogue of the classical Bateman-Horn conjecture on prime values of polynomials for the ring of polynomials over a large finite field. Namely, given non-associate, irreducible, separable and monic (in the variable $x$)…

Jakhar shown that for $f(x)=a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdot+ a_0$ ($a_0\neq 0$) is a polynomial with rational coefficients, if there exists a prime integer $p$ satisfying $\nu_p(a_n)=0$ and $n\nu_p(a_i)\ge (n-i)\nu_p(a_0)> 0$ for every $0\le…
