Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero and $k$ and $l$ be two multiplicatively independent positive integers. We prove the following result that was conjectured by Loxton and van der Poorten during the Eighties: a power series $F(z)\in…

We use linear algebraic methods to obtain general results about linear operators on a space of polynomials that we apply to the operators associated with a polynomial sequence by the monomiality property. We show that all such operators are…

We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case…

Let $r,m$ be positive integers. Let $0\le x <1$ be a rational number. Let $\Phi_s(x,z)$ be the $s$-th Lerch function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\tfrac{z^{k+1}}{(k+x+1)^s}$ with $s=1,2,\ldots ,r$. When $x=0$, this is the polylogarithmic function.…

This paper proposes semi-discrete and fully discrete hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) methods for the Burgers' equation in two and three dimensions. In the spatial discretization, we use piecewise polynomials of degrees $ k \ (k…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a bounded domain such that there exists an algebraic harmonic function of degree two vanishing on the boundary of $\Omega.$ Then we show that the Khavinson-Shapiro conjecture holds for $\Omega:$ if the…

In 1902, P. St\"ackel proved the existence of a transcendental function $f(z)$, analytic in a neighbourhood of the origin, and with the property that both $f(z)$ and its inverse function assume, in this neighbourhood, algebraic values at…

The Schinzel hypothesis is a famous conjectural statement about primes in value sets of polynomials, which generalizes the Dirichlet theorem about primes in an arithmetic progression. We consider the situation that the ring of integers is…

We obtain several expansions for $\zeta(s)$ involving a sequence of polynomials in $s$, denoted in this paper by $\alpha_k(s)$. These polynomials can be regarded as a generalization of Stirling numbers of the first kind and our identities…

We present bounds for the sparseness and for the degrees of the polynomials in the Nullstellensatz. Our bounds depend mainly on the unmixed volume of the input polynomial system. The degree bounds can substantially improve the known ones…

This article investigates the Mahler measure of a family of 2-variate polynomials, denoted by $P_d, d\geq 1$, unbounded in both degree and genus. By using a closed formula for the Mahler measure introduced in "Volume function and Mahler…

We provide a new, elementary proof of the multiplicative independence of pairwise distinct $\mathrm{GL}_2^+(\mathbb{Q})$-translates of the modular $j$-function, a result due originally to Pila and Tsimerman. We are thereby able to…

The existence of the limit distribution of the zeros of Hermite-Pad\'e polynomials of type II for a pair of functions forming a Nikishin system is proved using the scalar equilibrium problem posed on the two-sheeted Riemann surface. The…

We classify the pairs of polynomials $f,g \in \mathbb{C}[X]$ having orbits satisfying infinitely many multiplicative dependence relations, extending a result of Ghioca, Tucker and Zieve. Moreover, we show that given $f_1,\ldots, f_n$ from a…

In this work, we investigate generic classical two-dimensional (2D) superintegrable Hamiltonian systems H, characterized by the existence of three functionally independent integrals of motion (I_0=H,I_1,I_2). Our main result, formulated and…

We consider initial value problems for differential-algebraic equations in a possibly infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Assuming a growth condition for the associated operator pencil, we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for…

In 1994, Becker conjectured that if $F(z)$ is a $k$-regular power series, then there exists a $k$-regular rational function $R(z)$ such that $F(z)/R(z)$ satisfies a Mahler-type functional equation with polynomial coefficients where the…

A \textsl{Sperner $k$-partition system} on a set $X$ is a set of partitions of $X$ into $k$ classes such that the classes of the partitions form a Sperner set system (so no class from a partition is a subset of a class from another…
