We consider simple rational functions $R_{mn}(x)=P_m(x)/Q_n(x)$, with $P_m$ and $Q_n$ polynomials of degree $m$ and $n$ respectively. We look for "nice" functions, which we define to be ones where as many as possible of the roots, poles,…

For each $q\in{\mathbb{N}}_0$, we construct positive linear polynomial approximation operators $M_n$ that simultaneously preserve $k$-monotonicity for all $0\leq k\leq q$ and yield the estimate \[ |f(x)-M_n(f, x)| \leq c…

For any positive integers $s$ and $t$, let $Q_{t}^{s}(n)$ denotes the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$ into distinct parts such that no part is congruent to $s$ or $t-s$ modulo $t$. We prove some Ramanujan-type congruences for…

Let $q$ be an integer. A $D(q)$-$m$-tuple is a set of $m$ distinct positive integers ${a_1, a_2, . . . , a_m}$ such that $a_ia_j + q$ is a perfect square for all $1 \leq i < j \leq m$. By counting integer solutions $x \in [1, b]$ of…

In this paper, we present some criteria for the $2$-$q$-log-convexity and $3$-$q$-log-convexity of combinatorial sequences, which can be regarded as the first column of certain infinite triangular array $[A_{n,k}(q)]_{n,k\geq0}$ of…

The quantum integer $[n]_q$ is the polynomial $1 + q + q^2 + ... + q^{n-1}.$ Two sequences of polynomials $\mathcal{U} = \{u_n(q)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\mathcal{V} = \{v_n(q)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ define a {\em linear addition rule} $\oplus$…
