For an integer $r$, a prime power $q$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q^r}$ of $q^r$ elements, we obtain an upper bound on the frequency of elements in an orbit generated by iterations of $f$ which fall in a proper…

Let $P: \F \times \F \to \F$ be a polynomial of bounded degree over a finite field $\F$ of large characteristic. In this paper we establish the following dichotomy: either $P$ is a moderate asymmetric expander in the sense that $|P(A,B)|…

It is pointed out that, for the fractional Fokker-Planck equation for subdiffusion proposed by Metzler, Barkai, and Klafter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82 (1999) 3563], there are four types of infinitely many exact solutions associated with the newly…

Suppose $Q(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ regular symmetric positive semidefinite matrix polynomial. Then it can be factored as $$Q(x) = G(x)^TG(x),$$ where $G(x)$ is a real $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with degree half that of $Q(x)$ if and…

We study the ring of quasisymmetric polynomials in $n$ anticommuting (fermionic) variables. Let $R_n$ denote the polynomials in $n$ anticommuting variables. The main results of this paper show the following interesting facts about…

The $(q,r)$-Whitney numbers were recently defined in terms of the $q$-Boson operators, and several combinatorial properties which appear to be $q$-analogues of similar properties were studied. In this paper, we obtain elementary and…

Let GF(q), q=p^r, be a finite field with a primitive element g. In this paper we use exponential sums and Jacobi sums to compute the number of the irreducible polynomials of degree m over GF(q) with trace fixed and norm restricted to a…

Three $q$-versions of Lommel polynomials are studied. Included are explicit representations, recurrences, continued fractions, and connections to associated Askey--Wilson polynomials. Combinatorial results are emphasized, including a…

For a commutative ring $R$, a polynomial $f\in R[x]$ is called separable if $R[x]/f$ is a separable $R$-algebra. We derive formulae for the number of separable polynomials when $R = \mathbb{Z}/n$, extending a result of L. Carlitz. For…

We say that a family of permutations $t$-shatters a set if it induces at least $t$ distinct permutations on that set. What is the minimum number $f_k(n,t)$ of permutations of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ that $t$-shatter all subsets of size $k$? For…

In this paper we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by the classical q-orthogonal polynomials that are located at the top of the q-Hahn tableau (big q-jacobi polynomials (bqJ)) and the Nikiforov-Uvarov tableau (Askey-Wilson…

In this paper we consider a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $16$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear rank metric codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^{8\times8}$, arising from the polynomial $x^{q^s}+\delta x^{q^{4+s}}\in\mathbb{F}_{q^8}[x]$. Examples of MRD codes…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

We present a new explicit family of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with a dense point spectrum. This family is expressed in terms of q-hypergeometric function of type ${_2}\phi_1$. The orthogonality measure is the wrapped…

Motivated by the work of Prajapati \emph{et al.} \cite{PAA}, here we study some explicit form of the generalized Laguerre polynomials $L_{\lfloor\frac{n}{q}\rfloor}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(z)$, when $q=1$.

We define a family of symmetric and a family of non-symmetric polynomials in terms of vanishing conditions. These families depend on two paramters, q and t. Their main feature is that they consist of non-homogeneous polynomials. The…

Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup. We will say that $h\in {\mathbb{N}} \backslash S$ is an {\it isolated gap }of $S$ if $\{h-1,h+1\}\subseteq S.$ A numerical semigroup without isolated gaps is called perfect numerical semigroup. Denote by…

We prove that a bivariate polynomial f with exactly t non-zero terms, restricted to a real line {y=ax+b}, either has at most 6t-4 zeroes or vanishes over the whole line. As a consequence, we derive an alternative algorithm to decide whether…

Let $q$ be a prime power, $2\le r\le q$, and $f=a{\tt X}+{\tt X}^{r(q-1)+1}\in\Bbb F_{q^2}[{\tt X}]$, where $a\ne 0$. The conditions on $r,q,a$ that are necessary and sufficient for $f$ to be a permutation polynomial (PP) of ${\Bbb…

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements. We show that the normalized Jacobi sum $J(\chi,\eta)/\sqrt{q}$, for each fixed non-trivial multiplicative character $\eta$, becomes equidistributed in the unit circle as…
