Examples of the $\beta$-Jacobi ensemble specify the joint distribution of the transmission eigenvalues in scattering problems. In this context, there has been interest in the distribution of the trace, as the trace corresponds to the…

Let $V_1, V_2, V_3, \dots $ be a sequence of $\mathbb{Q}$-vector spaces where $V_n$ carries an action of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ for each $n$. {\em Representation stability} and {\em multiplicity stability} are two related notions of when the…

We extend our investigation of $2$-determinants, which we defined in a previous paper. For a linear homogenous recurrence of the second order, we consider relations between different sequences satisfying the same linear homogeneous…

For the OEIS sequence A176677, defined by the quadratic convolution recurrence $a(0) = a(1) = 1$ and $a(n+1) = \sum_{p=0}^n a(p) a(n-p) - 1$ for $n \ge 1$, R.~J.~Mathar contributed in March 2016 the conjectured order-4 P-recursive…

Let $(F_n)_{n\geq 0}$ be the Fibonacci sequence given by $F_{n+2}=F_{n+1}+F_n$, for $n\geq 0$, where $F_0=0$ and $F_1=1$. There are several interesting identities involving this sequence such as $F_n^2+F_{n+1}^2=F_{2n+1}$, for all $n\geq…

In this work we investigate regularity properties of a large class of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations with or without obstacles, which can be stochastically interpreted in form of a stochastic control system which nonlinear cost…

Stanley, building on work of Stern, defined an array of numbers by the recurrence $s(n, 2k) = s(n-1, k)$, $s(n, 2k+1) = s(n-1, k) + s(n-1, k+1)$. Stanley showed that, for each positive integer $r$, the sequence $s_n^r:= \sum_k s(n,k)^r$…

We consider the problem of characterizing solutions in $(x, y)$ to the equation ${x \choose y}={{x-a} \choose {y+b}}$ in terms of $a$ and $b$. We obtain one simple result which allows the determination of a ratio in terms of $a$ and $b$…

In this paper we propose a definition of a recurrence relation homomorphism and illustrate our definition with a few examples. We then define the period of a k-th order of linear recurrence relation and deduce certain preliminary results…

We derive a general recurrence relation for squares of Fibonacci-like numbers. Various properties are developed, including double binomial summation identites.

New differential-recurrence properties of dual Bernstein polynomials are given which follow from relations between dual Bernstein and orthogonal Hahn and Jacobi polynomials. Using these results, a fourth-order differential equation…

We derive the double recurrence $e_n = \frac{1}{2}(a_{n-1}+5b_{n-1}); f_{n} = \frac{1}{2}(a_{n-1}+b_{n-1})$ with $e_0=2;f_0=0$ for the Fibonacci numbers, leading to an extremely simple and fast implementation. Though the recurrence is…

We consider an inverse boundary value problem for determining unknown scatterers, which is governed by the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain. To address this, we develop a novel convex data-fitting formulation that is capable of…

Using a simple Vi\`ete-like formula for $\pi$ based on the nested radicals $a_k = \sqrt{2 + a_{k-1}}$ and $a_1 = \sqrt{2}$, we derive a set of the recurrence relations for the constant $1$. Computational test shows that application of this…

In this paper, we consider a generalization of Horadam sequence fwng which is defined by the recurrence relation wn = x(n)wn-1+ cwn-2; where x(n) = a if n is even, x(n) = b if n is odd with arbitrary initial conditions w0;w1 and nonzero…

A family of solutions to the Ernst equation is presented, which, in a certain limit, recovers the Yamazaki-Hori solution - an extension of the Tomimatsu-Sato solutions for all integer values of the deformation parameter $\delta$. Our…

We propose a notion of iterating functions $f:X^{k}\rightarrow X$ in a way that represents recurrence relations of the form $a_{n+k}=f(a_{n},a_{n+1},...,a_{n+k-1})$. We define a function as $n$-involutory when its $n$th iterate is the…
