We define a class of sequences ${a_n}$ by $a_1=a$ and $a_{n+1}=P(a_n)$, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. We then find out for which values $a$ and for which polynomials $P(x)$ these sequences will be constant after a…
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random objects in a category, where a moment is given by the average…
Nondegenerate truncated indefinite Stieltjes moment problem in the class $\mathbf{N}_{\kappa}^{k}$ of generalized Stieltjes functions is considered. To describe the set of solutions of this problem we apply the Schur step-by-step algorythm,…
This paper treat determinacy of strong moment problems in part I and indeterminacy of strong moment problems in part II. This paper is a summary of the following papers: [1] Ald\'en. E., Determinacy of Strong Moment Problems. [2] On…
The moment problem is an important problem in Functional Analysis and in Probability measure. It goes back to Stieltjes, around 1890. There is still an important ongoing interest in the recent literature. But, up today, the main theoretical…
We characterise the numerical semigroups with a monotone Ap\'ery set (MANS-semigroups for abbreviate). Moreover, we describe the families of MANS-semigroups when we set the multiplicity and the ratio.
Which combinatorial sequences correspond to moments of probability measures on the real line? We present a generating function, in the form of a continued fraction, for a fourteen-parameter family of such sequences and interpret these in…
Sequence rotation consists of a circular shift of the sequence's elements by a given number of positions. We present the four classic algorithms to rotate a sequence; the loop invariants underlying their correctness; detailed correctness…
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 study the Kronecker symbol $\left(\frac st\right)$ for the sequence of the convergents $s/t$ of a purely periodic continued fraction expansion. Whereas the corresponding sequence of Jacobi symbols is always periodic, it turns out that…
We study a truncated two-dimensional moment problem in terms of the Stieltjes transform. The set of the solutions is described by the Schur step-by-step algorithm, which is based on the continued fraction expansion of the solution. In…
A numerical semigroup $S$ is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers, containing zero, with finite complement. Its multiplicity $m$ is its smallest nonzero element. The Apery set of $S$ is the set $\text{Ap}(S) = \{n \in S :…
We investigate two Stieltjes continued fractions given by the paperfolding sequence and the Rudin-Shapiro sequence. By explicitly describing certain subsequences of the convergents $P_n(x)/Q_n(x)$ modulo $4$, we give the formal power series…
In this paper a connection between Hamburger moment sequences and their moment subsequences is given and the determinacy of these problems are related.
We show that the formula recently derived by Coffey for the Stieltjes constants in terms of the Bernoulli numbers is mathematically equivalent to the much earlier representation derived by Briggs and Chowla.
Some new integrals involving the Stieltjes constants are developed in this paper.
Inspired by a recent beautiful construction of Armin Straub and Wadim Zudilin, that 'tweaked' the sum of the $s^{th}$ powers of the $n$-th row of Pascal's triangle, getting instead of sequences of numbers, sequences of rational functions,…
The ordinal patterns of a fixed number of consecutive values in a time series is the spatial ordering of these values. Counting how often a specific ordinal pattern occurs in a time series provides important insights into the properties of…
We consider univariate distributions with finite moments of all positive orders. The moment problem is to determine whether or not a given distribution is uniquely determined by the sequence of its moments. There is a huge literature on…
In this paper, we derive some identities involving special numbers and moments of random variables by using the generating functions of the moments of certain random variables. Here the related special numbers are Stirling numbers of the…
