We introduce a new factorial function which agrees with the usual Euler gamma function at both the positive integers and at all half-integers, but which is also entire. We describe the basic features of this function.

We classify the factorizations of finite classical groups with nonsolvable factors, completing the classification of factorizations of finite almost simple groups.

We complete the description of group gradings on finite-dimensional incidence algebras. Moreover, we classify the finite-dimensional graded algebras that can be realized as incidence algebras endowed with a group grading.

One of the goals of this article is to define a an unified setting adapted to the description of means (normalized integrals or invariant means) on an infinite product of measured spaces with infinite measure. We first remark that some…

The average order of a finite group G is denoted by o(G). In this note, we classify groups whose average orders are less than o(S4), where S4 is the symmetric group on four elements. Moreover, we prove that G \cong S4 if and only if o(G) =…

We characterize $p-$harmonic functions in the Heisenberg group in terms of an asymptotic mean value property, where $1<p<\infty$, following the scheme described in Manfredi et al. (2009) for the Euclidean case. The new tool that allows us…

Let $\psi(G) = \sum_{g \in G} o(g)$ denote the sum of element orders of a finite group $G$. It is known that among groups of order $n$, the cyclic group $C_n$ maximizes $\psi$. T\u{a}rn\u{a}uceanu proved that two finite abelian $p$-groups…

We obtain new uniqueness theorems for harmonic functions defined on the unit disc or in the half plane. These results are applied to obtain new resolvent descriptions of spectral subspaces of polynomially bounded groups of operators on…

In this paper, we define a subclass of sense-preserving harmonic functions associated with a class of analytic functions satisfying a differential inequality. We then establish a close relation between both subclasses. Further, we obtain…

In this note, we consider ordered partitions of integers such that each entry is no more than a fixed portion of the sum. We give a method for constructing all such compositions as well as both an explicit formula and a generating function…

Well-partial orders, and the ordinal invariants used to measure them, are relevant in set theory, program verification, proof theory and many other areas of computer science and mathematics. In this article we focus on one of the most…

In this note, we presented a new decomposition of elements of finite fields of even order and illustrated that it is an effective tool in evaluation of some specific exponential sums over finite fields, the explicit value of some…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ be the class of all functions $f$ that are analytic and univalent in the unit disk $\ID$ with the normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Let $\mathcal{U} (\lambda)$ denote the set of all $f\in {\mathcal S}$ satisfying the…

A new characterization of harmonic functions is obtained. It is based on quadrature identities involving mean values over annular domains and over concentric spheres lying within these domains or on their boundaries. The analogous result…

This paper deals with the \emph{integral} version of the Dirichlet homogeneous fractional Laplace equation. For this problem weighted and fractional Sobolev a priori estimates are provided in terms of the H\"older regularity of the data. By…

This paper defines and develops cycle indices for the finite classical groups. These tools are then applied to study properties of a random matrix chosen uniformly from one of these groups. Properties studied by this technique will include…

Given a finite group $G$ of order $p^nm$, where $p$ is a prime and $p\nmid m$, we denote by $\psi_p(G)$ the sum of orders of $p$-parts of elements in $G$. In the current note, we prove that $\psi_p(G)\leq\psi_p(C_{p^nm})$, where $C_{p^nm}$…

We solve an elementary number theory problem on sums of fractional parts, using methods from group theory. We apply our result to deduce the finiteness of certain monodromy representations.

We characterize affine semigroups having one Betti element and we compute some relevant non-unique factorization invariants for these semigroups. As an example, we particularize our description to numerical semigroups.

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G(n)$ denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order $n$. It is well-known that $G(n) = 1$ if and only if $(n,\phi(n)) = 1$, where $\phi(n)$ and $(a, b)$ denote the Euler's totient function and…
