We prove a version of the classical Mittag-Leffler Theorem for regular functions over quaternions. Our result relies upon an appropriate notion of principal part, that is inspired by the recent definition of spherical analyticity.

We give an elementary probabilistic proof of a binomial identity. The proof is obtained by computing the probability of a certain event in two different ways, yielding two different expressions for the same quantity.

We lift to the multivariate Eulerian polynomials the identity implying that univariate Eulerian polynomials are palindromic. As a consequence of this generalization, we obtain nice combinatorial identities that can be directly extracted…

In this short paper, we give two proofs that the Euler characteristic is multiplicative, for fiber sequences of finitely dominated spaces. This is equivalent to proving that the Becker-Gottlieb transfer is functorial on $\pi_0$.

The Eulerian numbers count permutations according to the number of descents. The two-sided Eulerian numbers count permutations according to number of descents and the number of descents in the inverse permutation. Here we derive some…

In this paper Euler considers the properties of the pentagonal numbers, those numbers of the form $\frac{3n^2 \pm n}{2}$. He recalls that the infinite product $(1-x)(1-x^2)(1-x^3)...$ expands into an infinite series with exponents the…

Euler discovered recurrence for divisor sum functions as a consequence of the pentagonal numbers theorem. With similar idea and also motivated by Ewell's work in 1977, we prove new recurrences for certain divisor sum functions and…

Hankel determinants of sequences related to Bernoulli and Euler numbers have been studied before, and numerous identities are known. However, when a sequence is shifted by one unit, the situation often changes significantly. In this paper…
