We use the classical umbral calculus to describe Riordan arrays. Here, a Riordan array is generated by a pair of umbrae, and this provides efficient proofs of several basic results of the theory such as the multiplication rule, the…
In this paper, we utilize operational methods to obtain closed-form solutions for certain classes of integrals in the spirit of Ramanujan's Master Theorem and provide several analogs to it. Although the use of operational calculus makes the…
It is shown how many of the partial theta function identities in Ramanujan's lost notebook can be generalized to infinite families of such identities. Key in our construction is the Bailey lemma and a new generalization of the Jacobi triple…
Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…
We investigate some properties of the WKB series for arbitrary analytic potentials and then specifically for potentials $x^N$ ($N$ even), where more explicit formulae for the WKB terms are derived. Our main new results are: (i) We find the…
We describe surprising relationships between automorphic forms of various kinds, imaginary quadratic number fields and a certain system of six finite groups that are parameterised naturally by the divisors of twelve. The Mathieu group…
We show that every convergent power series with monomial extended Jacobian ideal is right equivalent to a Thom-Sebastiani polynomial. This solves a problem posed by Hauser and Schicho. On the combinatorial side, we introduce a notion of…
The main result of the article says that the formal power series equal to the ratio of two neighboring Chebyshev polynomials, after some renormalization, approximates the generating function of the Catalan numbers. We present a proof of…
In symmetric groups, studies of permutation factorizations or triples of permutations satisfying certain conditions have a long history. One particular interesting case is when two of the involved permutations are long cycles, for which…
The paper presents partial-realization theory and realization algorithms for linear switched systems. Linear switched systems are a particular subclass of hybrid systems. We formulate a notion of a partial realization and we present…
In this we paper we prove several new identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan-Slater type. These identities were found as the result of computer searches. The proofs involve a variety of techniques, including series-series identities, Bailey…
Motivated by work of Chan, Chan, and Liu, we obtain a new general theorem which produces Ramanujan-Sato series for $1/\pi$. We then use it to construct explicit examples related to non-compact arithmetic triangle groups, as classified by…
A proof for a conjecture by Shadrin and Zvonkine, relating the entries of a matrix arising in the study of Hurwitz numbers to a certain sequence of rational numbers, is given. The main tools used are iteration matrices of formal power…
A proof of Lagrange's and Jacobi's four-square theorem due to Hurwitz utilizes orders in a quaternion algebra over the rationals. Seeking a generalization of this technique to orders over number fields, we identify two key components: an…
A brief survey of some basic ideas of the so-called Idempotent Mathematics is presented; an "idempotent" version of the representation theory is discussed. The Idempotent Mathematics can be treated as a result of a dequantization of the…
We prove that the generating function of partitions into $k$-th powers is strongly Gaussian in the sense of B\'aez-Duarte. Within the probabilistic framework of Khinchin families, the Hardy--Ramanujan asymptotic formula for the…
We prove that the constant terms of powers of a Laurent polynomial satisfy certain congruences modulo prime powers. As a corollary, the generating series of these numbers considered as a function of a p-adic variable satisfies a non-trivial…
In a famous paper, R. A. Gordon proved a dozen theorems using tagged partitions and Cousin's theorem. The purpose of this paper is to present several classical results using the key-lemma underlying Cousin's theorem.
Explicit formulas involving a generalized Ramanujan sum are derived. An analogue of the prime number theorem is obtained and equivalences of the Riemann hypothesis are shown. Finally, explicit formulas of Bartz are generalized.
We show generic existence of power series a with complex coefficients a_n, such that the sequence of partial sums of a new power series where its coefficients b_n are functions of a_0, a_1, ..., a_n approximate every polynomial uniformly on…
