The aim of this note is to show that any algebraic relation over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ between the values of the trigonometric functions sine and cosine at algebraic points can be derived from the Pythagorean identity and the angle…

We present generalisations of Wilson's theorem for double factorials, hyperfactorials, subfactorials and superfactorials.

An identity s=t is linear if each variable occurs at most once in each of the terms s and t. Let T be a tolerance relation of an algebra A in a variety defined by a set of linear identities. We prove that there exist an algebra B in the…

In previous work on Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, certain remarkable hexagonal arrays of integers are constructed that display behaviors found in Pascal's Triangle. We explain these behaviors further using the binomial transform and discrete…

We consider an identity relating Fibonacci numbers to Pascal's triangle discovered by G. E. Andrews. Several authors provided proofs of this identity, most of them rather involved or else relying on sophisticated number theoretical…

A well-known theorem by Milnor-Orlik provides a formula for the Milnor number of a weighted-homogeneous polynomial having an isolated singularity that depends only on the weights. In this paper we present a proof of that result using…

The famous result of Lindemann and Weierstrass says that if $a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{n}$ are distinct algebraic numbers, then $e^{a_{1}},e^{a_{2}},\ldots,e^{a_{n}}$ are linearly independent complex numbers over the field…

In this paper we extend the notion of Melham sum to the Pell and Pell-Lucas sequences. While the proofs of general statements rely on the binomial theorem, we prove some spacial cases by the known Pell identities. We also give extensions of…

In a previous paper, the author gave a combinatorial proof and refinement of Siladi\'c's theorem, a Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity arising from the study of Lie algebras. Here we use the basic idea of the method of weighted words…

Factoring out the spin $1$ subalgebra of a $ W $ algebra leads to a new $ W $ structure which can be seen either as a rational finitely generated $ W $ algebra or as a polynomial non-linear $ W_\infty$ realization.

Classical binomial identities are established by giving probabilistic interpretations to the summands. The examples include Vandermonde identity and some generalizations.

An open problem about two new families of orthogonal polynomials was posed by Alhaidari. Here we will identify one of them as Wilson polynomials. The other family seems to be new but we show that they are discrete orthogonal polynomials on…

We present a theorem about irreducibility of a polynomial that is the resultant of two others polynomials. The proof of this fact is based on the field theory. We also consider the converse theorem and some examples.

We prove an interesting identity for the sum of determinants, which is a generalization of the sum of a geometric progression. The proof is quite long and a number of other identities are proved along the way. Some of the more elementary…

Hilbert's ternary quartic theorem states that every nonnegative degree 4 homogeneous polynomial in three variables can be written as a sum of three squares of homogeneous quadratic polynomials. We give a linear-algebraic approach to…

We derive an identity that relates a class of multiple integrals involving Vandermonde polynomials to divided differences. Alternatively the identity can be viewed as an integral formula for divided differences. As part of the derivation we…

Recently Andrews and Bachraoui proved identities relating certain restricted partitions into distinct even parts with restricted 4-regular partitions by the theory of basic hypergeometric series. They also posed a question regarding…

We give an especially simple proof of a theorem in graph theory that forms the key part of the solution to a problem in commutative algebra, on how to characterize the integral closure of a polynomial ring generated by quadratic monomials.

We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…

Here, we establish a polynomial identity in three variables $a, b, c$, and with the degree of the polynomial given in terms of two integers $L, M$. By letting $L$ and $M$ tend to infinity, we get the 1993 Alladi-Gordon $q$-hypergeometric…
