The partial Stirling numbers T_n(k) used here are defined as the sum over odd values of i of (n choose i) i^k. Their 2-exponents nu(T_n(k)) are important in algebraic topology. We provide many specific results, applying to all values of n,…
This paper presents a noncommutative theory of symmetric functions, based on the notion of quasi-determinant. We begin with a formal theory, corresponding to the case of symmetric functions in an infinite number of independent variables.…
We consider composite $n$ satisfying the congruence $$n \cdot \sigma_k(n) \equiv 2 \pmod{\phi(n)},$$ and show a "flanking" structure: $14$ appears in both $S_{k-1}$ and $S_{k+1}$ whenever certain values of $n$ appear in $S_k$; and,…
The aim of this paper is to develop analytic techniques to deal with certain monotonicity of combinatorial sequences. (1) A criterion for the monotonicity of the function $\sqrt[x]{f(x)}$ is given, which is a continuous analog for one…
A folklore conjecture in number theory states that the only integers whose expansions in base $3,4$ and $5$ contain solely binary digits are $0, 1$ and $82000$. In this paper, we present the first progress on this conjecture. Furthermore,…
The modular subset sum problem consists of deciding, given a modulus $m$, a multiset $S$ of $n$ integers in $0..m-1$, and a target integer $t$, whether there exists a subset of $S$ with elements summing to $t \mod m $, and to report such a…
A composition of a nonnegative integer (n) is a sequence of positive integers whose sum is (n). A composition is palindromic if it is unchanged when its terms are read in reverse order. We provide a generating function for the number of…
Let v be a multiplicative arithmetic function with support of positive asymptotic density. We prove that for any not identically zero arithmetic function f such that \sum_{f(n) \neq 0} 1 / n < \infty, the support of the Dirichlet…
A theoretical treatment of the static structure factor $S(k)$ of a Bose gas is attempted. The low order expansion theory is implemented for the construction of the two body density distribution, while various trial functions for the radial…
In 2011, W. Lang derived a novel, explicit formula for the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$ involving simultaneously the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. In this note, we first recall and then…
As a generalization of the sum of digits function and other digital sequences, sequences defined as the sum of the output of a transducer are asymptotically analyzed. The input of the transducer is a random integer in $[0, N)$. Analogues in…
Recently, Defant and Propp [2020] defined the degree of noninvertibility of a function $f\colon X\to Y$ between two finite nonempty sets by $\text{deg}(f)=\frac{1}{|X|}\sum_{x\in X}|f^{-1}(f(x))|$. We obtain an exact formula for the…
In the context of count-in-cells statistics, the joint probability distribution of the density in two concentric spherical shells is predicted from first first principle for sigmas of the order of one. The agreement with simulation is found…
Special functions, coding theory and $t$-designs have close connections and interesting interplay. A standard approach to constructing $t$-designs is the use of linear codes with certain regularity. The Assmus-Mattson Theorem and the…
Existing methods of series analysis are largely designed to analyse the structure of algebraic singularities. Functions with such singularities have their $n^{th}$ coefficient behaving asymptotically as $A \cdot \mu^n \cdot n^g.$ Recently,…
In this paper, we initiate a study of a new problem termed function computation on the reconciled data, which generalizes a set reconciliation problem in the literature. Assume a distributed data storage system with two users $A$ and $B$.…
We consider the pairing Hamiltonian and systematically construct its density functional in the strong-coupling limit and in the limit of large particle number. In the former limit, the functional is an expansion into central moments of…
Existence of long arithmetic progression in sumsets and subset sums has been studied extensively in the field of additive combinatorics. These additive combinatorics results play a central role in the recent progress of fundamental problems…
In this note, the polar decomposition of binary fields of even extension degree is used to reduce the evaluation of the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions to that of Gauss sums. In the case of extensions of degree four times an…
