Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros…

A non-negative function $f$ is said to be 'bell-shaped' if $f$ tends to zero at $\pm \infty$ and the $n$-th derivative of $f$ changes its sign $n$ times for every $n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$ We provide a complete characterisation of the class of…

We introduce the sequence of generalized Gon\v{c}arov polynomials, which is a basis for the solutions to the Gon\v{c}arov interpolation problem with respect to a delta operator. Explicitly, a generalized Gon\v{c}arov basis is a sequence…

We introduce a new generalization of Euler's $\varphi$-function associated with a system of polynomials of several variables. We reprove by a short direct approach certain known related identities, and study some other special cases that do…

Let $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ be two real polynomials whose leading coefficients have the same sign. Suppose that $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ have only real zeros and that $g$ interlaces $f$ or $g$ alternates left of $f$. We show that if $ad\ge bc$ then the…

In this paper some classes of local polynomial functions on abelian groups are characterized by the properties of their variety. For this characterization we introduce a numerical quantity depending on the variety of the local polynomial…

For a polynomial $f(t) = 1+f_0t+\cdots +f_{d-1}t^d$ with positive integer coefficients Bell and Skandera ask if real rootedness of f(t) implies that there is a simplicial complex with f-vector $(1,f_0 \ldots,f_{d-1})$. In this paper we…

The weighted Delannoy numbers are defined by the recurrence relation $f_{m,n}=\alpha f_{m-1,n}+ \beta f_{m,n-1}+ \gamma f_{m-1,n-1}$ if $m n>0 $, with $f_{m,n}=\alpha^m \beta^n$ if $n m=0$. In this work, we study a generalization of these…

Let $f$ and $F$ be two polynomials satisfying $F(x)=u(x)f(x)+v(x)f'(x)$. We characterize the relation between the location and multiplicity of the real zeros of $f$ and $F$, which generalizes and unifies many known results, including the…

Partial multivariate Bell polynomials have been defined by E.T. Bell in 1934. These polynomials have numerous applications in Combinatorics, Analysis, Algebra, Probabilities, etc. Many of the formulae on Bell polynomials involve…

Evaluation of low degree hypergeometric polynomials to zero defines an algebraic hypersurface in the affine space of the free parameters and the argument. This article investigates the algebraic surfaces 2F1(-N,b;c;z)=0 for N=3 and N=4. As…

A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…

Let $c$ be a fixed integer such that $c \in \{0,2\}.$ Let $n$ be a positive integer such that either $n\geq 2$ or $2n+1 \neq 3^u$ for any integer $u\geq 2$ according as $c = 0$ or not. Let $\phi(x)$ belonging to $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a monic…

A polynomial family $\{p_n(x)\}$ is Appell if it is given by $\frac{e^{xt}}{g(t)} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty p_n(x)t^n$ or, equivalently, $p_n'(x) = p_{n-1}(x)$. If $g(t)$ is an entire function, $g(0)\neq 0$, with at least one zero, the…

When the state of a quantum system belongs to a N-dimensional Hilbert space, with N the power of a prime number, it is possible to associate to the system a finite field (Galois field) with N elements. In this paper, we introduce…

This paper introduces a novel generalization of Stirling and Lah numbers, termed ``heterogeneous Stirling numbers," which smoothly interpolate between these classical combinatorial sequences. Specifically, we define heterogeneous Stirling…

Extending the work of Bell, Matsuzawa and Satriano, we consider a finite set of polynomials $S$ over a number field $K$ and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a $N \in \mathbb{N}_{> 0}$ and a finite set $Z…

Departing from a class of infinite series with central binomial coefficients in the numerator and depending on a positive integer parameter, we first extend known identities to all complex parameters. Then we use various methods, including…

We present a theorem which generalizes the classical Euler's theorem on congruencies: if $(a,m)=1$ then $a^ \phi(m) \equiv 1 (mod m)$ for the case when $a$ and $m$ are not relatively primes.

We prove matching direct and inverse theorems for uniform polynomial approximation with $A^*$ weights (a subclass of doubling weights suitable for approximation in the $L_\infty$ norm) having finitely many zeros and not too "rapidly…
