For non-negative integers $l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n}$, we define character sums $\varphi_{(l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n})}$ and $\psi_{(l_{1}, l_{2},\ldots, l_{n})}$ over a finite field which are generalizations of Jacobsthal and modified…

We consider elliptic partial differential equations with diffusion coefficients that depend affinely on countably many parameters. We study the summability properties of polynomial expansions of the function mapping parameter values to…
In recent years, Karr's difference field theory has been extended to the so-called $R\Pi\Sigma$-extensions in which one can represent not only indefinite nested sums and products that can be expressed by transcendental ring extensions, but…
Our object is a thorough analysis of the WP-Bailey tree, a recent extension of classical Bailey chains. We begin by observing how the WP-Bailey tree naturally entails a finite number of classical q-hypergeometric transformation formulas. We…
