Let $p$ be a prime and $a$ a quadratic non-residue $\bmod p$. Then the set of integral solutions of the diophantine equation $x_0^2 - ax_1^2 -px_2^2 + apx_3^2=1$ form a cocompact discrete subgroup $\Gamma_{p,a}\subset SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and…

In his important 1920 paper on partitions, MacMahon defined the partition generating functions \begin{align*} A_k(q)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\mathfrak{m}(k;n)q^n&:=\sum_{0< s_1<s_2<\cdots<s_k}…

Consider a subfield of the field of rational functions in several indeterminates. We present an algorithm that, given a set of generators of such a subfield, finds a simple generating set. We provide an implementation of the algorithm and…

We generalize the geometric sequence $\{a^p, a^{p-1}b, a^{p-2}b^2,...,b^p\}$ to allow the $p$ copies of $a$ (resp. $b$) to all be different. We call the sequence $\{a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1b_2a_3\cdots a_p,\ldots,…

In this paper we give an algorithm for the computation of all the Arf numerical semigroups with a given genus. Moreover, we generalize the concept of genus of a numerical semigroup to good semigroups of $\mathbb{N}^r$ and we give a…

We present a new tool to compute the number $\phi_\A (\b)$ of integer solutions to the linear system $$ \x \geq 0 \qquad \A \x = \b $$ where the coefficients of $\A$ and $\b$ are integral. $\phi_\A (\b)$ is often described as a \emph{vector…

We present an overview of the role of generating functions in quantum mechanical contexts, mainly in the modern theory of polarization and in the study of quantum phase transitions. Generating functions enable the derivation of moments and…

Let $p_{k}(n)$ be the coefficient of $q^n$ in the series expansion of $(q;q)_{\infty}^{k}$. It is known that the partition function $p(n)$, which corresponds to the case when $k=-1$, satisfies congruences such as $p(5n+4)\equiv 0\pmod{5}$.…

We give an explicit set of generators for the semigroup of the Gr\"obner degeneration of a toric ideal. This set of generators is used to study algebraic properties of the semigroup it generates: approximation of semigroups,…

Quasi-polycyclic (QP for short) codes over a finite chain ring $R$ are a generalization of quasi-cyclic codes, and these codes can be viewed as an $R[x]$-submodule of $\mathcal{R}_m^{\ell}$, where $\mathcal{R}_m:= R[x]/\langle f\rangle$,…

For positive integers $g$ and $N$, let $\mathcal{F}_N$ be the field of meromorphic Siegel modular functions of genus $g$ and level $N$ whose Fourier coefficients belong to the $N$th cyclotomic field. We present explicit generators of…

We give some general results concerning the computation of the generalized Feng-Rao numbers of numerical semigroups. In the case of a numerical semigroup generated by an interval, a formula for the $r^{th}$ Feng-Rao number is obtained.

In this paper we develop a functional calculus for a countable system of generators of contraction strongly continuous semigroups. As a symbol class of such calculus we use the algebra of polynomial tempered distributions. We prove a…

Let $G$ be the multiplicative group generated by the gamma functions $\Gamma(ax+1)$ $(a=1,2,\dots)$, and $H$ be the subgroup of all elements of $G$ that converge to nonzero constants as $x\rightarrow\infty$. The quotient group $G/H$ is the…

The exponential generating function of ordinary generating functions of diagonal sequences of general Sheffer triangles is computed by an application of Lagrange's theorem. For the special Jabotinsky type this is already known. An analogous…

The main aim of this paper is twofold: (1) Suggesting a statistical mechanical approach to the calculation of the generating function of restricted integer partition functions which count the number of partitions --- a way of writing an…

We present a functional calculus approach to the study of rates of decay in mean ergodic theorems for bounded strongly continuous operator semigroups. A central role is played by operators of the form $g(A)$, where $-A$ is the generator of…

We examine two different ways of encoding a counting function, as a rational generating function and explicitly as a function (defined piecewise using the greatest integer function). We prove that, if the degree and number of input…

Greene's rational function $\Psi_P({\bf x})$ is a sum of certain rational functions in ${\bf x}=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ over the linear extensions of the poset $P$ (which has $n$ elements), which he introduced in his study of the…
