Euler's Gamma function $\Gamma$ either increases or decreases on intervals between two consequtive critical points. The inverse of $\Gamma$ on intervals of increase is shown to have an extension to a Pick-function and similar results are…
For various arithmetic functions $f:\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}$, the behavior of $f(n!)$ and that of $\sum_{n\le N} f(n!)$ can be intriguing. For instance, for some functions $f$, we have ${f(n!)=\sum_{k\le n}f(k)}$, for others, we have…
We use the rationality of the generalized $h^{th}$ convergent functions, $Conv_h(\alpha, R; z)$, to the infinite J-fraction expansions enumerating the generalized factorial product sequences, $p_n(\alpha, R) =…
We study the factorization of the numbers $N = X^2+c$, where $c$ is a fixed constant, and this independently of the value of gcd$(X,c)$. We prove the existence of a family of sequences with arithmetic difference $(U_n, Z_n)$ generating…
In this paper, we introduce a way to generalize the Euler's gamma function as well as some related special functions. With a given polynomial in one variable $f(t)\ge 0$, we can associate a function, so-called "gamma function associated…
We complement a recent result of S. Furuichi, by showing that the differences $\sum_{i=1}^n \alpha_i x_i - \prod_{i=1}^n x_i^{\alpha_i}$ associated to distinct sequences of weights are comparable, with constants that depend on the smallest…
We introduce a gamma function $\Ga(x,z)$ in two complex variables which extends the classical gamma function $\Ga(z)$ in the sense that $\lim_{x\to 1}\Ga(x,z)=\Ga(z)$. We will show that many properties which $\Ga(z)$ enjoys extend in a…
This paper studies the problem of testing if an input (Gamma,*), where Gamma is a finite set of unknown size and * is a binary operation over Gamma given as an oracle, is close to a specified class of groups. Friedl et al. [Efficient…
In this paper, we established a sharp version of the difference analogue of the celebrated H\"{o}lder's theorem concerning the differential independence of the Euler gamma function $\Gamma$. More precisely, if $P$ is a polynomial of $n+1$…
The Smarandache function of a positive integer $n$, denoted by $S(n)$, is defined to be the smallest positive integer $j$ such that $n$ divides the factorial $j!$. In this note, we prove that for any fixed number $k > 1$, the inequality…
Let $g(n)$ be the largest positive integer $k$ such that there are distinct primes $p_i$ for $1\leq i\leq k$ so that $p_i |n+i$. This function is related to a celebrated conjecture of C.A. Grimm. We establish upper and lower bounds for…
Our main result shows that for every odd natural number n > 1 there is a partition of the rational numbers, x/2n in lowest terms, in the unit interval, the product of whose Gamma values takes the form of powers of 2 and pi.
Several determinants with gamma functions as elements are evaluated. This kind of determinants are encountered in the computation of the probability density of the determinant of random matrices. The s-shifted factorial is defined as a…
We create a sequence version of calculus. First, we define equivalence, some fundamental operations, differential, and integral for sequences. Then, we propose sequence versions of identity function, power function, exponential function,…
Factorial moments are convenient tools in particle physics to characterize the multiplicity distributions when phase-space resolution ($\Delta$) becomes small. They include all correlations within the system of particles and represent…
The minimum aberration criterion has been frequently used in the selection of fractional factorial designs with nominal factors. For designs with quantitative factors, however, level permutation of factors could alter their geometrical…
In this paper, we prove that for $x+y>0$ and $y+1>0$ the inequality {equation*} \frac{[\Gamma(x+y+1)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/x}}{[\Gamma(x+y+2)/\Gamma(y+1)]^{1/(x+1)}} <\biggl(\frac{x+y}{x+y+1}\biggr)^{1/2} {equation*} is valid if $x>1$ and…
The applicability of the factorization method is extended to the case of quantum fractional-differential Hamiltonians. In contrast with the conventional factorization, it is shown that the `factorization energy' is now a…
