We consider sequences of polynomials that satisfy differential-difference recurrences. Polynomials satisfying such recurrences frequently appear as generating polynomials of integer valued random variables that are of interest in discrete…

Ratio asymptotics for matrix orthogonal polynomials with recurrence coefficients $A_n$ and $B_n$ having limits $A$ and $B$ respectively (the matrix Nevai class) were obtained by Dur\'an. In the present paper we obtain an alternative…

A function g, with domain the natural numbers, is a quasi-polynomial if there exists a period m and polynomials p_0,p_1,...,p_{m-1} such that g(t)=p_i(t) for t=i mod m. Quasi-polynomials classically -- and "reasonably" -- appear in Ehrhart…

The classical Eulerian polynomials $A_n(t)$ are known to be gamma positive. Define the positive Eulerian polynomial $A_n^+(t)$ as the polynomial obtained when we sum descents over the alternating group. We show that $A_n^+(t)$ is gamma…

Stable multivariate Eulerian polynomials were introduced by Br\"and\'en. Particularizing some variables, it is possible to extract real zero multivariate Eulerian polynomials from them. These real zero multivariate Eulerian polynomials can…

The partial-dual Euler-genus polynomial was defined by Gross, Mansour, and Tucker to analyze how the Euler genus of a ribbon graph changes under partial duality, a generalization of Euler-Poincar\'{e} duality introduced by Chmutov. The…

In this paper, we define the notion of descent for the paths in the $p$-Bratteli diagram. This leads to the definition of $p^{k}$-Eulerian polynomials, whose coefficients count the number of paths with a given number of descents. We provide…

In this paper we study modified kernel polynomials: $u_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k g_k(x)$, depending on parameters $c_k>0$, where $\{ g_k \}_0^\infty$ are orthonormal polynomials on the real line. Besides kernel polynomials with $c_k =…

The notion of quasi-Fej\'er monotonicity has proven to be an efficient tool to simplify and unify the convergence analysis of various algorithms arising in applied nonlinear analysis. In this paper, we extend this notion in the context of…

In this paper, monic polynomials orthogonal with deformation of the Freud-type weight function are considered. These polynomials fullfill linear differential equation with some polynomial coefficients in their holonomic form. The aim of…

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…

This is the classical monograph on the combinatorial study of Eulerian polynomials, published in 1970. It has been retyped in TeX and made available on the web with the kind permission of Springer-Verlag. This on-line version has an ouput…

In this paper, we present some monotonicity rules for the ratio of two power series $x\mapsto \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k x^k / \sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k x^k$ under the assumption that the monotonicity of the sequence ${a_k/b_k}$ changes twice.…

Let $s_{k}(n)$ denote the sum of digits of an integer $n$ in base $k$. Motivated by certain identities of Nieto, and Bateman and Bradley involving sums of the form $\sum_{i=0}^{2^{n}-1}(-1)^{s_{2}(i)}(x+i)^{m}$ for $m=n$ and $m=n+1$, we…

Given an $n$-vertex digraph $D$ and a labeling $\sigma:V(D)\to [n]$, we say that an arc $u\to v$ of $D$ is a descent of $\sigma$ if $\sigma(u)>\sigma(v)$. Foata and Zeilberger introduced a generating function $A_D(t)$ for labelings of $D$…

This paper initiates a systematic study of connections between undirected colored graphs and associated two-variable stable polynomials obtained via Cauchy transform-type formulas. Examples of such stable polynomials have played crucial…

Carlitz and Scoville in 1973 considered a four variable polynomial that enumerates permutations in $\mathfrak{S}_n$ with respect to the parity of its descents and ascents. In recent work, Pan and Zeng proved a $q$-analogue of…

We consider positive solutions to $\displaystyle -\Delta_p u=\frac{1}{u^\gamma}+f(u)$ under zero Dirichlet condition in the half space. Exploiting a prio-ri estimates and the moving plane technique, we prove that any solution is monotone…
