We analyze a weighted convolution of Catalan numbers $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{2k}{k}\binom{2(n-k)}{n-k} a^k = \sum_{k=0}^{n} (k+1)(n-k+1) C_k C_{n-k} a^k, $$ emphasizing its combinatorial, analytic, and probabilistic aspects. We derive a…
Multiplicative convolution $\mu \ast \nu$ of two finite signed measures $\mu$ and $\nu$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and a related product $\mu \circledast \nu$ on the sphere $S^{n-1}$ are studied. For fixed $\mu$ the injectivity in $\nu$ of both…
We obtain a weighted sum formula of the zeta values at even arguments, and a weighted sum formula of the multiple zeta values with even arguments and its zeta-star analogue. The weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of…
The equivalence of the characteristic function approach and the probabilistic approach to monotone and boolean convolutions is proven for non-compactly supported probability measures. A probabilistically motivated definition of the…
In this note we explore the relationship between the operation of convolution of functions and the Eulerian integrals. This approach allow us to obtain some expressions for the convolution of a certain class of functions in terms of the…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and $d(n)$ with $k \geq 4$, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power-saving error term, improving results obtained previously…
Several combinatorial identities are presented, involving Stirling functions of the second kind with a complex variable. The identities involve also Stirling numbers of the first kind, binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.
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…
We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…
The paper [GLZ] "L-functions of Carlitz modules, resultantal varieties and rooted binary trees" is devoted to a description of some resultantal varieties related to L-functions of Carlitz modules. It contains a conjecture that some of these…
We give estimates for the convolution product of an arbitrary number of endlessly continuable functions. This allows us to deal with nonlinear operations for the corresponding resurgent series, e.g. substitution into a convergent power…
Quantile aggregation with dependence uncertainty has a long history in probability theory with wide applications in finance, risk management, statistics, and operations research. Using a recent result on inf-convolution of quantile-based…
Three complementation-like involutions are constructed on permutations to prove, and in some cases generalize, all remaining fourteen joint symmetric equidistribution conjectures of Lv and Zhang. Further enumerative results are obtained for…
We introduce a new model for sums of exchangeable binary random variables. The proposed distribution is an approximation to the exact distributional form, and relies on the theory of completely monotone functions and the Laplace transform…
