We deduce asymptotic formulas for the alternating sums $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} f(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} (-1)^{n-1} \frac1{f(n)}$, where $f$ is one of the following classical multiplicative arithmetic functions: Euler's totient function,…
We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
We present a method designed for computing solutions of infinite dimensional non linear operators $f(x) = 0$ with a tridiagonal dominant linear part. We recast the operator equation into an equivalent Newton-like equation $x = T(x) = x -…

Endowing the set of functional graphs (FGs) with the sum (disjoint union of graphs) and product (standard direct product on graphs) operations induces on FGs a structure of a commutative semiring R. The operations on R can be naturally…
Given a semigroup $S$ equipped with an involutive automorphism $\sigma$, we determine the complex-valued solutions $f,g,h$ of the functional equation \begin{equation*}f(x\sigma(y))=f(x)g(y)+g(x)f(y)+h(x)h(y),\,\,x,y\in S,\end{equation*} in…
We observe that if f is a continuous function on an interval I and x_0 \in I, then f is operator monotone if and only if the function (f(x) - f(x_0)/(x - x_0) is strongly operator convex. Then starting with an operator monotone function…
A second-order differential (q-difference) eigenvalue equation is constructed whose solutions are generating functions of the dual (q-)Hahn polynomials. The fact is noticed that these generating functions are reduced to the (little…
We show that for a certain class of convex functions $f$, including the exponential functions $x\mapsto e^{\lambda x}$ with $\lambda>0$ a real number, and all the powers $x\mapsto x^\beta$, $x\geq 0$ and $\beta\geq 2$ a real number, with a…
We describe a new method of constructing transcendental entire functions $A$ such that the differential equation $w"+Aw=0$ has two linearly independent solutions with relatively few zeros. In particular, we solve a problem of Bank and Laine…

First we recall the notion of conxity and log-convexity for real-valued. Then we generalize the trick used by Artin in his famous paper on the Gamma function to find log-convex solutions to the functional equations f(x+1)=g(x)f(x). This…
Given a plane graph $G$ (i.e., a planar graph with a fixed planar embedding) and a simple cycle $C$ in $G$ whose vertices are mapped to a convex polygon, we consider the question whether this drawing can be extended to a planar…
For a class of symplectic manifolds, we introduce a functional which assigns a real number to any pair of continuous functions on the manifold. This functional has a number of interesting properties. On the one hand, it is Lipschitz with…
A partial semimetric on V_n={1, ..., n} is a function f=((f_{ij})): V_n^2 -> R_>=0 satisfying f_ij=f_ji >= f_ii and f_ij+f_ik-f_jk-f_ii >= 0 for all i,j,k in V_n. The function f is a weak partial semimetric if f_ij >= f_ii is dropped, and…
In this paper, we study the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation $ -\Delta u+V(x)u=f(x,u) $on the lattice graph $ \mathbb{Z}^{N}$. Using the Nehari method, we prove that when $f$ satisfies some growth conditions and the potential function $V$…

The theory of quasi-arithmetic means is a powerful tool in the study of covariance functions across space-time. In the present study we use quasi-arithmetic functionals to make inferences about the permissibility of averages of functions…
