We present several new inequalities for trigonometric sums. Among others, we show that the inequality $$ \sum_{k=1}^n (n-k+1)(n-k+2)k\sin(kx) > \frac{2}{9} \sin(x) \bigl( 1+2\cos(x) \bigr)^2 $$ holds for all $n\geq 1$ and $x\in (0,…
We define a graded graph, called the Schur--Weyl graph, which arises naturally when one considers simultaneously the RSK algorithm and the classical duality between representations of the symmetric and general linear groups. As one of the…
The equivariant nonnegativity versus sums of squares question has been solved for any infinite series of essential reflection groups but type A. As a first step to a classification, we analyse $A_n$-invariant quartics. We prove that the…
Disproving a conjecture of Bleicher and Erd\H{o}s, we show that there exists a lacunary sequence of positive integers such that finite sums of reciprocals of its terms attain all rational numbers from a non-empty open interval. We also…

After deriving inequalities on coefficients arising in the expansion of a Schur $P$-function in terms of Schur functions we give criteria for when such expansions are multiplicity free. From here we study the multiplicity of an irreducible…
In this paper, we consider infinite sums derived from the reciprocals of the generalized Fibonacci numbers. We obtain some new and interesting identities for the generalized Fibonacci numbers.
The problem of when the vanishing of a (generalized) Schur complement of a block matrix (corresponding to the leading principal subblock) implies that the other (generalized) Schur complement (corresponding to the trailing principal…
In this paper we shall develop a theory of (extended) double shuffle relations of Euler sums which generalizes that of multiple zeta values (see Ihara, Kaneko and Zagier, \emph{Derivation and double shuffle relations for multiple zeta…
We propose a recursive algorithm for identifying all finite sequences of positive integers whose product equals their sum. Our method uses solutions of strictly shorter length that are iteratively extended in pursuit of a valid solution.…
The Adler sum rule states that the integral over energy of a difference of neutrino-nucleon and antineutrino-nucleon structure functions is a constant, independent of the four-momentum transfer squared. This constancy is a consequence of…
In this article, we derive a congruence property of particular sum rules involving prime numbers. The resulting expression involves Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, for which we obtain, as a consequence, a general congruence relation as…
We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
The more then hundred years old Bernstein inequality states that the supremum norm of the derivative of a trigonometric polynomial of fixed degree can be bounded from above by supremum norm of the polynomial itself. The reversed Bernstein…
Determining if a symmetric function is Schur-positive is a prevalent and, in general, a notoriously difficult problem. In this paper we study the Schur-positivity of a family of symmetric functions. Given a partition \lambda, we denote by…
We formulate many open questions regarding the Schur positivity of the effect of interesting operators on symmetric functions, and give supporting evidence for why one should expect such behavior.
Fourier-Dedekind sums are a generalization of Dedekind sums - important number-theoretical objects that arise in many areas of mathematics, including lattice point enumeration, signature defects of manifolds and pseudo random number…
Reverses of Schwarz, triangle and Bessel inequalities in inner product spaces that improve some earlier results are pointed out. They are applied to obtain new Gruss type inequalities in inner product spaces. Some natural applications for…
New reverses of the Schwarz, triangle and Bessel inequalities in inner product spaces are pointed out. These results complement the recent ones obtained by the author in an earlier paper. Further, they are employed to establish new Gruss…
For any positive integers l and m, a set of integers is said to be (weakly) l-sum-free modulo m if it contains no (pairwise distinct) elements $x_1,x_2,...,x_l,y$ satisfying the congruence $x_1+\...+x_l\equiv y\bmod{m}$. It is proved that,…
