We consider the generalised Mathieu series \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma}{(n^\lambda+a^\lambda)^\mu}\qquad (\mu>0)\] when the parameters $\lambda$ ($>0$) and $\gamma$ are even integers for large complex $a$ in the sector…
I present an asymptotic formula for the Takeuchi numbers $T_n$. In particular, I give compelling numerical evidence and present a heuristic argument showing that $$T_n\sim C_T B_n\exp{1\over2}{W(n)}^2$$as $n$ tends to infinity, where $B_n$…
In these notes we study the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequences - $(F_n^{(k)})_{n\in \Z}$ - with positive and negative indices. Denote $T_k(x)$ its characteristic polynomial. Our most interesting finding is that if $k$ is even then the…
We find the asymptotics of the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n n^{-1} \exp(-t/n)$ as $t\to+\infty$. The answer is an oscillating function of $t$ dominated by $\exp(-(2\pi t)^{1/2})$. The intermediate step is to find the asymptotics of the…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the sum \[S_p(a;w)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-w}\e^{-an^p}\] as $a\rightarrow 0$ in $|\arg\,a|<\pi/2$ for arbitrary finite $p>$ and $w>0$. Our attention is concentrated mainly on the case when $p$ and $w$…
Let (F_n)_{n} be the classical Fibonacci sequence. It is well-known that it satisfies F_{n}^2 + F_{n+1}^2 = F_{2n+1}. In this study, we explore generalizations of this Diophantine equation in several directions. First, we solve the…
We study generalized additive partial linear models, proposing the use of polynomial spline smoothing for estimation of nonparametric functions, and deriving quasi-likelihood based estimators for the linear parameters. We establish…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Wright function \[W_{\lambda,\mu}(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{n! \Gamma(\lambda n+\mu)}\qquad (\lambda>-1)\] for large (positive and negative) variable and large parameter $\mu$. The analysis…
In this paper we relate a fundamental parameter of a random graph, its degree sequence, to a simple model of nearly independent binomial random variables. This confirms a conjecture made in 1997. As a result, many interesting functions of…
In the \textit{Fibonacci Quarterly} in 1964, C.~R.~Wall gave the following weighted sum of generalized Fibonacci numbers: $\sum_{i=1}^n i G_i = n G_{n+2} - G_{n+3} + G_3$, where $\left(G_n\right)_{n \geq 0}$ is defined by the recurrence…
In the asymptotic analysis of regular sequences as defined by Allouche and Shallit, it is usually advisable to study their summatory function because the original sequence has a too fluctuating behaviour. It might be that the process of…
We study enumeration functions for unimodal sequences of positive integers, where the size of a sequence is the sum of its terms. We survey known results for a number of natural variants of unimodal sequences, including Auluck's generalized…
Let $(F_n)_{n\ge 1}$ be the Fibonacci sequence. Define $P(F_n): = (\sum_{i=1}^n F_i)_{n\ge 1}$; that is, the function $P$ gives the sequence of partial sums of $(F_n)$. In this paper, we first give an identity involving $P^k(F_n)$, which is…
A generalization of the well-known Fibonacci sequence is the $k$-Fibonacci sequence with some fixed integer $k\ge 2$. The first $k$ terms of this sequence are $0,0, \ldots, 1$, and each term afterwards is the sum of the preceding $k$ terms.…
The large $n$ behaviour of the hypergeometric polynomial $$\FFF{-n}{\sfrac12}{\sfrac12}{\sfrac12-n}{\sfrac12-n}{-1}$$ is considered by using integral representations of this polynomial. This ${}_3F_2$ polynomial is associated with the…
We find two-sides estimates for the best uniform approximations of classes of convolutions of $2\pi$-periodic functions from unit ball of the space $L_p, 1 \le p <\infty,$ with fixed kernels, modules of Fourier coefficients of which satisfy…
Using a variational approach, two new series representations for the incomplete Gamma function are derived: the first is an asymptotic series, which contains and improves over the standard asymptotic expansion; the second is a uniformly…
The Fibonacci sequence has been generalized in many ways. One of them is defined by the relation $t_n=at_{n-1}+t_{n-2}$ if $n$ is even, $t_n=bt_{n-1}+t_{n-2}$ if $n$ is odd, with initial values $t_0=0$ and $t_1=1$, where $a$ and $b$ are…
We are interested in the asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials of the generalized Jacobi type as their degree $n$ goes to $\infty$. These are defined on the interval $[-1,1]$ with weight function…
In this note, we present a simple summation formula for $k$-bonacci numbers. The derivation consists in obtaining the generating function of such numbers, and noting that its evaluation at a particular value yields a formula generalizing a…
