We define an enumerative function F(n,k,P,m) which is a generalization of binomial coefficients. Special cases of this function are also power function, factorials, rising factorials and falling factorials. The first section of the paper is…

Let D be a domain, n, k be positive integers and n >= K+3. Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in D. If each f in F satisfies (f^n)^(k) not equal to 1 for z in D, then F is normal family. This result was proved by Schwick. In this…

Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient…

We prove that for every at most countable family $\{f_k(x)\}$ of real functions on $[0,1)$ there is a single-valued real function $F(x)$, $x\in[0,1)$, such that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph $\Gamma$ of $F(x)$ equals 2, and for every…

We define a characteristic function for probability measures on the signatures of geometric rough paths. We determine sufficient conditions under which a random variable is uniquely determined by its expected signature, thus partially…

The normal distribution has the unique property that the cumulant generating function has only two terms, namely those involving the mean and the variance. This property is used to construct a simple by using the log of the modulus of the…

Cohen-Ramanujan sum, denoted by $c_r^s(n)$, is an exponential sum similar to the Ramanujan sum $c_r(n):=\sum\limits_{\substack{h=1\\{(h,r)=1}}}^{r}e^{\frac{2\pi i n h}{r}}$. An arithmetical function $f$ is said to admit a Cohen-Ramanujan…

We consider the set of power functions defined on the set of positive real number, and their linear combinations. After recalling some properties of the gamma function, we give two general definitions of derivatives of positive and negative…

Let $f$ be a complex valued function on a finite field $F$ such that $f(0) = 0$, $f(1) = 1$, and $|f(x)| = 1$ for $x \neq 0$. Cohn asked if it follows that $f$ is a nontrivial multiplicative character provided that $\sum_{x \in F} f(x)…

Form an $n \times n$ matrix by drawing entries independently from $\{\pm1\}$ (or another fixed nontrivial finitely supported distribution in $\mathbf{Z}$) and let $\phi$ be the characteristic polynomial. Conditionally on the extended…

The paper discusses a test for the hypothesis that a random sample comes from the Cauchy distribution. The test statistics is derived from a characterization and is based on the characteristic function. Properties of the test are discussed…

It is known that a real analytic CR function f on a real analytic, generic submanifold M in C^N can be holomorphically extended. A stronger result on a finite type, real analytic, generic submanifold M is found in which we assume f a…

A graph $G$ is called $3$-choice critical if $G$ is not $2$-choosable but any proper subgraph is $2$-choosable. A graph $G$ is strongly fractional $r$-choosable if $G$ is $(a,b)$-choosable for all positive integers $a,b$ for which $a/b \ge…

In this note, we show how to obtain a "characteristic power series" of graphons -- infinite limits of dense graphs -- as the limit of normalized reciprocal characteristic polynomials. This leads to a new characterization of graph…

Suppose that we are given a formal power series of many variables with coefficients in $\mathbb{R}$ (or $\mathbb{C}$) and we want to compute its $n$-th (multiplicative) root. As can be expected coefficients of the root have to satisfy a…

Let $f$ be a real-valued $1$-bounded multiplicative function. Suppose that the mean-value of $f^{2}$ exists, and $$\int_{0}^{1} \Big | \sum_{n \leq N} f(n)e^{2\pi i n \alpha} \Big | d \alpha\leq N^{o(1)}$$ as $N \rightarrow \infty$, then…

Given independent random points $X_1,...,X_n\in\eR^d$ with common probability distribution $\nu$, and a positive distance $r=r(n)>0$, we construct a random geometric graph $G_n$ with vertex set $\{1,...,n\}$ where distinct $i$ and $j$ are…

A real-valued function on R^n is k-regulous, where k is a nonnegative integer, if it is of class C^k and can be represented as a quotient of two polynomial functions on R^n. Several interesting results involving such functions have been…

For each positive integer $n$, function $f$, and point $c$, the GGR Theorem states that $f$ is $n$ times Peano differentiable at $c$ if and only if $f$ is $n-1$ times Peano differentiable at $c$ and the following $n$-th generalized…

Under the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, any integer $n>1$ can be uniquely written as a product of prime powers $p^a$; factoring each exponent $a$ as a product of prime powers $q^b$, and so on, one will obtain what is called the tower…
