In this paper a family of non-autonomous scalar parabolic PDEs over a general compact and connected flow is considered. The existence or not of a neighbourhood of zero where the problems are linear has an influence on the methods used and…
We consider two families of Pascal-like triangles that have all ones on the left side and ones separated by $m-1$ zeros on the right side. The $m=1$ cases are Pascal's triangle and the two families also coincide when $m=2$. Members of the…
The main goal in this manuscript is to present a class of functions satisfying a certain orthogonality property for which there also exists a three term recurrence formula. This class of functions, which can be considered as an extension to…
We study a two-parameter family of one-dimensional maps and related (a,b)-continued fractions suggested for consideration by Don Zagier. We prove that the associated natural extension maps have attractors with finite rectangular structure…
This paper summarizes some known results about Appell polynomials and investigates their various analogs. The primary of these are the free Appell polynomials. In the multivariate case, they can be considered as natural analogs of the…
In this note we study a certain graph polynomial arising from a special recursion. This recursion is a member of a family of four recursions where the other three recursions belong to the chromatic polynomial, the modified matching…
We show that polynomials associated with automatic sequences satisfy a certain recurrence relation when evaluated at a root of unity, which generalizes a result of Brillhart, Lomont and Morton on the Rudin--Shapiro polynomials. We study the…
First a formula for the number of zeros of the orthogonal polynomial in the intervals is presented. Then a criteria about the appearance of a zero in a gap is given. Finally a necessary and sufficient condition is derived such that the…
The Fibonacci sequence is obtained as weighted sum along the rows in the Pascal triangle by choosing a periodic up-and-down pattern of weights from the set $\{-1,-\frac{1}{2},0, \frac{1}{2}, 1\}$. A graphical illustration of this identity…
The goal of the paper is to give a complete description of the images of noncommutative polynomials with zero constant term on upper triangular matrix algebras over an algebraically closed field. This is a variation of the old and famous…
We define a triangular array closely related to Stern's diatomic array and show that for a fixed integer $r\geq 1$, the sum $u_r(n)$ of the $r$th powers of the entries in row $n$ satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. The…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
We show that the dilogarithm has at most one zero on each branch, that each zero is close to a root of unity, and that they may be found to any precision with Newton's method. This work is motivated by applications to the asymptotics of…
The probability that a zero of a random real polynomial of increasing degree is real tends to zero. However, passing from polynomials to Laurent polynomials yields a surprising result: the probability that a root is real tends not to zero,…
We are interested in the zero locus of a Chapoton's $F$-triangle as a polynomial in two real variables $x$ and $y$. An expectation is that (1) the $F$-triangle of rank $l$ as a polynomial in $x$ for each fixed $y\in[0,1]$, has exactly $l$…
In this paper, a linear univariate representation for the roots of a zero-dimensional polynomial equation system is presented, where the roots of the equation system are represented as linear combinations of roots of several univariate…
In this paper, we obtain an annulus containing all the zeros of the polynomial involving binomial coefficients and generalized Fibonacci numbers. Our result generalize some of the recently obtained results in this direction.
This paper establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for the reality of all the zeros in a polynomial sequence $\{P_i\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$ generated by a three-term recurrence relation $P_i(x)+ Q_1(x)P_{i-1}(x) +Q_2(x) P_{i-2}(x)=0$…
The Zernike radial polynomials are a system of orthogonal polynomials over the unit interval with weight x. They are used as basis functions in optics to expand fields over the cross section of circular pupils. To calculate the roots of…
