Bent functions, which are maximally nonlinear Boolean functions with even numbers of variables and whose Hamming distance to the set of all affine functions equals $2^{n-1}\pm 2^{\frac{n}{2}-1}$, were introduced by Rothaus in 1976 when he…
The close relationship among the polynomial functions and Fibonacci numerical sequences is shown in this paper. These numerical sequences are defined by the recurrence equation $x_{k + n} = \displaystyle\sum_{j = 0}^{n-1}\alpha_j x_{k +…
The aim of this work is to analyze general infinite sums containing modified Bessel functions of the second kind. In particular we present a method for the construction of a proper asymptotic expansion for such series valid when one of the…
We consider the transform from sequences to triangular arrays defined in terms of generating functions by f(x) -> (1-x)/(1-xy) f(x(1-x)/(1-xy)). We establish a criterion for the transform of a nonnegative sequence to be nonnegative, and we…
Let $S$ be a submonoid of a free Abelian group of finite rank. We show that if $k$ is a field of prime characteristic such that the monoid $k$-algebra $k[S]$ is split $F$-regular, then $k[S]$ is a finitely generated $k$-algebra, or…
We elaborate on a connection between the $SU(2)$-valued nonlinear Fourier series and sequences of left and right orthogonal polynomials for complex measures on the unit circle. We show a convergence result for the associated reproducing…
The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…
Two new formulations of Bell's theorem are given here. First, we consider a definite set of two entangled photons with only two polarization directions, for which Bell's locality assumption is violated for the case of perfect correlation.…
Given an nxn doubly stochastic matrix P satisfying an appropriate condition of linear algebraic-type, and a function f defined on a nonempty interval, we show that the validity of a convexity-type functional inequality for f in terms P…
We study new identities related to the sums of adjacent terms in the Pell sequence, defined by $P_{n} := 2P_{n-1}+P_{n-2}$ for $ n\geq 2$ and $P_{0}=0, P_{1}=1$, and generalize these identities for many similar sequences. We prove that the…
Let $(r_k)$ be an increasing sequence and $(w_k)$ a positive sequence. We study the following question: is it true that for every sequence $(a_k)$ satisfying $\sum_{k=0}^\infty |a_k|^2 w_k^2 < \infty$ there exists a function $f\in…
We define a new family of noncommutative Bell polynomials in the algebra of free quasi-symmetric functions and relate it to the dual immaculate basis of quasi-symmetric functions. We obtain noncommutative versions of Grinberg's results…
We study the 2-adic behavior of the number of domino tilings of a 2n-by-2n square as nvaries. It was previously known that this number was of the form 2^n f(n)^2, where f(n) is an odd, positive integer. We show that the function f is…
For positive integers $k,n$, a de Bruijn sequence $B(k,n)$ is a finite sequence of elements drawn from $k$ characters whose subwords of length $n$ are exactly the $k^n$ words of length $n$ on $k$ characters. This paper introduces the…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…
We study the total positivity of the multiplicative convolution kernel T associated with the independent product of two random variables $B(a,b)$ and $\Gamma(c).$ This kernel is totally positive of infinite order if $b$ or $d = a+b -c$ are…
We describe new, simple, recursive methods of construction for orientable sequences over an arbitrary finite alphabet, i.e. periodic sequences in which any sub-sequence of n consecutive elements occurs at most once in a period in either…
We are concerned with the zeros of the Macdonald functions or the modified Bessel functions of the second kind with real index. By using the explicit expressions for the algebraic equations satisfied by the zeros, we describe the behavior…
A sequence of points $z_k$ in the unit disk is said to be thin for a given decrease function $\rho$, if there is a nontrivial bounded holomorphic function such that the infinite series $\sum_k \rho(1-|z_k|)|f(z_k)|$ converges. All sequences…
Every real Bank-Laine function of finite order, whose zeros are all real but neither bounded above nor bounded below, either has an explicit representation in terms of trigonometric functions or has zeros with exponent of convergence at…
