In this paper, we present a general framework for the derivation of interesting finite combinatorial sums starting with certain classes of polynomial identities. The sums that can be derived involve products of binomial coefficients and…
The study of degenerate versions of certain special polynomials and numbers, which was initiated by Carlitz's work on degenerate Euler and degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, has recently seen renewed interest among mathematicians. The aim of…
This article is written with the hope to draw attention to a method that uses integral transforms to find exact values for a large class of convergent series (and, in particular, series of rational terms). We apply the method to some series…
This work is an attempt to classify and quantify instances when a weighted sum of two squares of positive integers, $3n_{1}^2+n_{2}^2$, can be realized in more than one way. Our project was inspired by a particular study of two-dimensional…
Our previous theorems on exponential sums often did not apply or did not give sharp results when certain powers of a variable appearing in the polynomial were divisible by p. We remedy that defect in this paper by systematically applying…
Recently, several types of degenerate Bell polynomials have been introduced as degenerate versions of the ordinary Bell polynomials. The aim of this paper is to study some identities for the degenerate Bell polynomials and their related…
This paper is an enhanced version of a more than decade-older paper with a similar title. Many formulae involving both finite and infinite sums of digamma and polygamma functions up to quadratic order, few of which appear in standard…
In this survey, we review some of the recent connections between the representation theory of (untwisted) quantum affine algebras and the representation theory of current algebras. We mainly focus on the finite-dimensional representations…
The main purpose of this paper is to propose some interesting number theory problems related to the Legendre's symbol and the two-term exponential sums.
There is consensus that sums $S_n={ {\Sigma }_{k=1}^n R_{0k} e^{i \theta_k}}$ of complex exponential terms, despite their mathematical significance, only possess closed-form representations for specific values of n and special values of…
In this survey on local additive invariants of real and complex definable singular germs we systematically present classical or more recent invariants of different nature as emerging from a tame degeneracy principle. For this goal, we…
Deformed logarithms and their inverse functions, the deformed exponentials, are important tools in the theory of non-additive entropies and non-extensive statistical mechanics. We formulate and prove counterparts of Golden-Thompson's trace…
The aim of this note is to survey the factorizations of the Fibonacci infinite word that make use of the Fibonacci words and other related words, and to show that all these factorizations can be easily derived in sequence starting from…
At the first part of the paper we show how specific umbral extensions of the Stirling numbers of the second kind result in new type of Dobinski-like formulas. In the second part among others one recovers how and why Ward solution of…
We introduce a new sequence of unsigned degenerate Stirling numbers of the first kind. Following the work of Adell-Lekuona, who represented unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind as multiples of the expectations of specific random…
The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…
We retrace the recent history of the Umbral Calculus. After studying the classic results concerning polynomial sequences of binomial type, we generalize to a certain type of logarithmic series. Finally, we demonstrate numerous typical…
In this paper, by introducing the degenerate Fubini-type polynomials, we give several relations with the help of the Fa\`a di Bruno formula and some properties of Bell polynomials, and generating function methods. Also, we derive some new…
The purpose of these notes is to collect in one place some facts on the category of finite totally ordered sets and some related categories. More specifically, we collect some results on them which will be useful for the study of iteratedly…
In combinatorics, a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set, such that no element appears in its original position. The number of derangement of an n-element set is called the nth derangement number. Recently, the degenerate…
