Let $c_1(x),c_2(x),f_1(x),f_2(x)$ be polynomials with rational coefficients. With obvious exceptions, there can be at most finitely many roots of unity among the zeros of the polynomials $c_1(x)f_1(x)^n+c_2(x)f_2(x)^n$ with $n=1,2\ldots$.…
The equation commonly known as Sury's identity is a deceptively simple summation formula that connects the Lucas numbers, Fibonacci numbers, and powers of two. Many authors have given extensions and generalizations over the years; in this…
In this paper, we derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to Bernoulli polynomials and power sums. These and most of their corollaries are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in…
Any homogeneous harmonic polynomial can be decomposed as a sum of powers of isotropic linear forms, that is, linear forms whose coefficients are the coordinates of isotropic points. The minimum size of such decompositions for a harmonic…
We study real bihomogeneous polynomials $r(z,\bar{z})$ in $n$ complex variables for which $r(z,\bar{z}) \|z\|^2$ is the squared norm of a holomorphic polynomial mapping. Such polynomials are the focus of the Sum of Squares Conjecture, which…
The doubling construction is a fast and important way to generate new solutions to the Hurwitz problem on sums of squares identities from any known ones. In this short note, we generalize the doubling construction and obtain from any given…
In this paper, we present the existence and uniqueness property on a finite sum involving a polynomial and a homogeneous linear recurrence sequence. This finite sum is of the form $\sum_{k=1}^n P(k)s_{hk+r}$ where $n$ is a positive integer,…
We derive identities for the determinants of matrices whose entries are (rising) powers of (products of) polynomials that satisfy a recurrence relation. In particular, these results cover the cases for Fibonacci polynomials, Lucas…
Several combinatorial identities are presented, involving Stirling functions of the second kind with a complex variable. The identities involve also Stirling numbers of the first kind, binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.
Orthogonal polynomials with respect to the hypergeometric distribution on lattices in polyhedral domains in ${\mathbb R}^d$, which include hexagons in ${\mathbb R}^2$ and truncated tetrahedrons in ${\mathbb R}^3$, are defined and studied.…
In this paper, we determine all primitive solutions to the equation $(x+r)^2 +(x+2r)^2 +\cdots +(x+dr)^2 = y^n$ for $2\leq d\leq 10$ and for $1\leq r\leq 10^4$. We make use of a factorization argument and the Primitive Divisors Theorem due…
A simplex in n dimensions is defined by the usual (n+1) linear inequality constraints in n dimensions. Here we consider simplexes which are bounded sets. The harmonic center has been defined earlier for polytopes in general. A relationship…
In investigating the properties of a certain class of homogeneous polynomials, we discovered an identity satisfied by their coefficients which involves simple 2F1 Gauss hypergeometric functions. This result appears to be new and we supply a…
We apply a heuristic method based on counting points over finite fields to the Poincar\'e center problem. We show that this method gives the correct results for homogeneous non linearities of degree 2 and 3. Also we obtain new evidence for…
A recurrence relations for sums of powers of complex functions can be written as a system of linear equation AX=B. Using properties of determinant and Cramer's rule for solving systems of linear equation, this paper presents an absolutely…
Take a sequence of couples $(G_n,K_n)_n$, where $G_n$ is a group and $K_n$ is a sub-group of $G_n.$ Under some conditions, we are able to give a formula that shows the form of the structure coefficients that appear in the product 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…
Nourdin et al. [9] established the following universality result: if a sequence of off-diagonal homogeneous polynomial forms in i.i.d. standard normal random variables converges in distribution to a normal, then the convergence also holds…
In this paper, the results in [Singular Hessians, J. Algebra 282 (2004), no. 1, 195--204], for polynomial Hessians with determinant zero in small dimensions $r+1$, are generalized to similar results in arbitrary dimension, for polynomial…
A polynomial P in n complex variables is said to have the "half-plane property" (or Hurwitz property) if it is nonvanishing whenever all the variables lie in the open right half-plane. Such polynomials arise in combinatorics, reliability…
