These notes are designed to offer some (perhaps new) codicils to related work, a list of problems and conjectures seeking (preferably) combinatorial proofs. The main items are Eulerian polynomials and hook/contents of Young diagram, mostly…
We study the root distribution of some univariate polynomials satisfying a recurrence of order two with linear and quadratic polynomial coefficients. We show that the set of non-isolated limits of zeros of the polynomials is the closure of…
To study the zeros of octonionic polynomials, we generalize the well-known Enestrom-Kakeya Theorem to the case of octonions. In this paper, we first deal with octonionic polynomials with nonnegative and monotonic coefficients, and prove…
We study decreasing binary trees in which every vertex with two children is colored red or blue. We construct two bijections. The first, to ordered set partitions into odd-sized blocks each arranged as an alternating permutation, shows that…
We solve the boson normal ordering problem for $(q(a^\dag)a+v(a^\dag))^n$ with arbitrary functions $q(x)$ and $v(x)$ and integer $n$, where $a$ and $a^\dag$ are boson annihilation and creation operators, satisfying $[a,a^\dag]=1$. This…
We consider random orthonormal polynomials $$ P_{n}(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\xi_{i}p_{i}(x), $$ where $\xi_{0}$, . . . , $\xi_{n}$ are independent random variables with zero mean, unit variance and uniformly bounded $(2+\ep_0)$-moments, and…
Starting from the Davenport-Heilbronn function equation: $f(s) = X(s) f(1-s)$, we discover the four properties of the meromorphic function $X(s)$ defined as the ratio of the Davenport-Heilbronn functions: $\frac{f(s)}{f(1-s)} = X(s)$, and…
We prove two conjectures of Shareshian and Wachs about Eulerian quasisymmetric functions and polynomials. The first states that the cycle type Eulerian quasisymmetric function $Q_{\lambda,j}$ is Schur-positive, and moreover that the…
The notion of block divisibility naturally leads one to introduce unitary cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_n^*(x)$. They can be written as certain products of cyclotomic poynomials. We study the case where $n$ has two or three distinct prime…
In this paper, we mainly study the stability of iterated polynomials and linear transformations preserving the strong $q$-log-convexity of polynomials Let $[T_{n,k}]_{n,k\geq0}$ be an array of nonnegative numbers. We give some criteria for…
We consider asymptotics of ratios of random characteristic polynomials associated with orthogonal polynomial ensembles. Under some natural conditions on the measure in the definition of the orthogonal polynomial ensemble we establish a…
By using the elementary symmetric polynomials and some results of number theory, we solve the well known problem of Lehmer on Euler's totient function. As application, we obtain a new characterization of prime numbers.
We study the Euler-Frobenius numbers, a generalization of the Eulerian numbers, and the probability distribution obtained by normalizing them. This distribution can be obtained by rounding a sum of independent uniform random variables; this…
We give a short proof, using generating functions, for a polynomial congruence for Eulerian polynomials first proved, using arrangements of hyperplanes, by Yoshinaga and later proved, using roots of unity, by Iijima, Sasaki, Takahashi, and…
Eulerian polynomials record the distribution of descents over permutations. Caylerian polynomials likewise record the distribution of descents over Cayley permutations, where a Cayley permutation is a word of positive integers such that if…
In this paper, we are concerned with the problem of locating the zeros of polynomials of a quaternionic variable with quaternionic coefficients. We derive some new Cauchy bounds for the zeros of a polynomial by virtue of maximum modulus…
Inspired by the paper of Bonichon, Bousquet-M\'elou, Dorbec and Pennarun, we give a system of functional equations which characterise the ordinary generating function, $U(x),$ for the number of planar Eulerian orientations counted by edges.…
We develop a new method for studying the asymptotics of symmetric polynomials of representation-theoretic origin as the number of variables tends to infinity. Several applications of our method are presented: We prove a number of theorems…
We consider a continuous family $(f_s)$, $s\in[0,1]$ of complex polynomials in two variables with isolated singularities, that are Newton non-degenerate. We suppose that the Euler characteristic of a generic fiber is constant (or…
We establish some new Tur\'an's type inequalities for orthogonal polynomials defined by a three-term recurrence with monotonic coefficients. As a corollary we deduce asymptotic bounds on the extreme zeros of orthogonal polynomials with…
