We use $q$-binomial theorem to prove three new polynomial identities involving $q$-trinomial coefficients. We then use summation formulas for the $q$-trinomial coefficients to convert our identities into another set of three polynomial…
A systematic procedure for generating certain identities involving elementary symmetric functions is proposed. These identities, as particular cases, lead to new identities for binomial and q-binomial coefficients.
During the course of an ongoing work on the small-$x$ behaviour of parton distribution functions, some identities have been found which involve Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind, as well as binomial coefficients. Without any…
This is a short review of some recent results obtained by the author. These results are related the problem of obtaining polynomial identities (computational formulas) for some matrix functions by means of the known polarization theorem,…
An integer $n$ is said to be \textit{arithmetic} if the arithmetic mean of its divisors is an integer. In this paper, using properties of the factorization of values of cyclotomic polynomials, we characterize arithmetic numbers. As an…
In 2002 Zhi-Wei Sun [Integers 2(2002)] published a curious identity involving binomial coefficients. In this paper we present a generalization of the identity.
Let $\Phi_n(x)$ denote the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial. In 1968 Sister Marion Beiter conjectured that $a_n(k)$, the coefficient of $x^k$ in $\Phi_n(x)$, satisfies $|a_n(k)|\le (p+1)/2$ in case $n=pqr$ with $p<q<r$ primes (in this case…
This paper is a continuation of our papers [EK1, EK2]. In [EK2] we showed that for the root system A_n-1 one can obtain Macdonald's polynomials - a new interesting class of symmetric functions recently defined by I. Macdonald {M1] - as…
In this note, we provide a conceptual explanation of a well-known polynomial identity used in algebraic number theory.
We consider binomial and inverse binomial sums at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi$ or $\log(2)$. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as specializations of…
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…
In this paper, we study some symmetric identities of q-Euler numbers and polynomials. From these properties, we derive several identities of q-Euler numbers and polynomials.
By means of the $q$-Zeilberger algorithm, we prove a basic hypergeometric supercongruence modulo the fifth power of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n(q)$. This result appears to be quite unique, as in the existing literature so far no basic…
We present a generalization of the Newton-Girard identities, along with some applications. As an addendum, we collect many evaluations of symmetric polynomials to which these identities apply.
We prove a family of identities, expressing generating functions of powers of characteristic polynomials of permutations, as finite or infinite products. These generalize formulae first obtained in a study of the geometry/topology of…
Primitive prime divisors play an important role in group theory and number theory. We study a certain number theoretic quantity, called $\Phi^*_n(q)$, which is closely related to the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n(x)$ and to primitive prime…
We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) of degree n in m real variables, which have arisen in the theory of numerical semigroups. We establish their basic properties and find their representation through the power sums…
In this paper, we first give a simple combinatorial proof of Tepper's identity. Then, as a by product of this interesting identity we present another proof of the well-known Wilson's identity in number theory. Finally, we obtain a…
We obtain a three-parameter $q$-series identity that generalizes two results of Chan and Mao. By specializing our identity, we derive new results of combinatorial significance in connection with $N(r, s, m, n)$, a function counting certain…
Newton's identities provide a way to express elementary symmetric polynomials in terms of power polynomials over fields of characteristic zero. In this article, we study the failure of this relation in positive characteristic and what can…
