This paper investigates the location of the zeros of a sequence of polynomials generated by a rational function with a binomial-type denominator. We show that every member of a two-parameter family consisting of such generating functions…
The exponential generating functions of {n^(n+m)} for arbitrary integer m are expressed as rational functions of the e.g.f. of {n^(n-1)} [the tree function] and then of the e.g.f. of {n^n} [the endofunction function]. The coefficients in…
The exponential generating function of ordinary generating functions of diagonal sequences of general Sheffer triangles is computed by an application of Lagrange's theorem. For the special Jabotinsky type this is already known. An analogous…
In this paper we use computational method based on operational point of view to prove a new generating function of exponential polynomials. We give its applications involving geometric polynomials, Bernoulli and Euler numbers.
Counting functions are constructed for sums of integers raised to a fixed positive rational power. That is, given values formed by $u_1^{j/k} + u_2^{j/k} + ... + u_l^{j/k}$, $u_i \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the number of values less than or equal to…
We continue our study on counting irreducible polynomials over a finite field with prescribed coefficients. We set up a general combinatorial framework using generating functions with coefficients from a group algebra which is generated by…
A set of functions is defined which is indexed by a positive integer $n$ and partitions of integers. The case $n=1$ reproduces the standard Schur polynomials. These functions are seen to arise naturally as a determinant of an action on the…
In a recent article a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a sequence of positive numbers was examined. The analysis of the nonnegativeness of the formal expressions was a key-point to allow to give them a statistical…
A generating function for reciprocal binomial coefficients is written down, integral representations of this function are obtained, generating functions for sums of reciprocal binomial coefficients are derived, new identities are obtained,…
We derive the matrix elements of generators of unitary irreducible representations of SL(2,C) with respect to basis states arising from a decomposition into irreducible representations of SU(1,1). This is done with regard to a discrete…
The integral formulae pertaining to the unitary group $\mathsf{U}(d)$ have been comprehensively reviewed, yielding fresh results and innovative proofs. Central to the derivation of these formulae lies the employment of Schur-Weyl duality, a…
Recently, Kim and Oh expressed the Selberg integral in terms of the number of Young books which are a generalization of standard Young tableaux of shifted staircase shape. In this paper the generating function for Young books according to…
Motivated by the Saxl conjecture and the tensor square conjecture, which states that the tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric group contain all irreducible representations, we study the tensor squares of…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0, $f:\mathbb{N}\to K$ be a multiplicative function, and $F(z)=\sum_{n\geq 1} f(n)z^n\in K[[z]]$ be algebraic over $K(z)$. Then either there is a natural number $k$ and a periodic multiplicative function…
We show that the generating function corresponding to the sequence of denominators of the best rational approximants of a quadratic irrational is a rational function with integer coefficients. Consequently we can compute the L\'evy constant…
Given an operad P with a finite Groebner basis of relations, we study the generating functions for the dimensions of its graded components P(n). Under moderate assumptions on the relations we prove that the exponential generating function…
We find generating functions the number of strings (words) containing a specified number of occurrences of certain types of order-isomorphic classes of substrings called subword patterns. In particular, we find generating functions for the…
We wonder if there is a way to make all Schur functions in all representations equal. This is impossible for fixed value of time variables, but can be achieved for averages. It appears that the corresponding measure is just Gaussian in…
Let $\mathbb Z/d\mathbb Z \wr \mathfrak S_n$ denote the wreath product of the cyclic group $\mathbb Z/d\mathbb Z$ with the symmetric group $\mathfrak S_n$. We define generating functions for monomial (induced one-dimensional) characters of…
