This note mainly concerns the binomial power function, defined as $(1+x^q)^{r}$. We construct systems of polynomials related to non-local approximation, which allows us to establish the density results on $C[a,b]$, where $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$.…

In this article we extend a theorem of Andrews, Crippa, and Simon on the asymptotic behavior of polynomials defined by a general class of recursive equations. Here the polynomials are in the variable $q$, and the recursive definition at…

Shannon's entropy is one of the building blocks of information theory and an essential aspect of Machine Learning methods (e.g., Random Forests). Yet, it is only finitely defined for distributions with fast decaying tails on a countable…

It is defined $\Gamma_{p,q}$ function, a generalize of $\Gamma$ function. Also, we defined $\psi_{p,q}$-analogue of the psi function as the log derivative of $\Gamma_{p,q}$. For the $\Gamma_{p,q}$ -function, are given some properties…

We present a somewhat different way of looking on Shannon entropy. This leads to an axiomatisation of Shannon entropy that is essentially equivalent to that of Fadeev. In particular we give a new proof of Fadeev theorem.
