We introduce a multivariate generalization of normalized Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. We prove that these polynomials arise in the context of cluster characters associated to Dynkin quivers of type $\mathbb A$ and…
We provide a characterization for a periodic system of generalized Sylvester and conjugate-Sylvester equations, with at most one generalized conjugate-Sylvester equation, to have a unique solution when all coefficient matrices are square…
Very recently, Galashin, Postnikov, and Williams introduced the notion of higher secondary polytopes, generalizing the secondary polytope of Gelfand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky. Given an $n$-point configuration $\mathcal{A}$ in…
Using the cyclotomic identity we compute sums over d-tuples of monic polynomials in F_q[x] weighted by the multiplicity of their irreducible factors. As consequences we determine explicit expressions for the number of d-tuples of…
We extend the Reed Dawson identity for Knuth's old sum with a complex parameter, and we offer two separate hypergeometric series-based proofs of this generalization, and we apply this generalization to introduce binomial-harmonic sum…
We obtain several asymptotic formulas for the sum of the divisor function $\tau(n)$ with $n \le x$ in an arithmetic progressions $n \equiv a \pmod q$ on average over $a$ from a set of several consecutive elements from set of reduced…
In this paper we give an elementary proof of the local sum conjecture in two dimensions. In a remarkable paper [CMN, arXiv:1810.11340], this conjecture has been established in all dimensions using sophisticated, powerful techniques from a…
We give nontrivial bounds for the bilinear sums $$ \sum_{u = 1}^{U} \sum_{v=1}^V \alpha_u \beta_v \mathbf{\,e}_p(u/f(v)) $$ where $\mathbf{\,e}_p(z)$ is a nontrivial additive character of the prime finite field ${\mathbb F}_p$ of $p$…
We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…
For a Coxeter element $c$ of a finite Coxeter group, we consider a family of subword complexes parameterized by reduced expressions of the longest element. This family generalizes $c-$cluster complexes. We describe vertices of these…
By dividing hypergeometric series representations of the inverse sine by sin^-1 (x) and integrating, new double series representations of integers and constants arise. Binomial coefficients and the sine integral are thus combined in double…
We review the basic theory of More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) sets, specifically their existence, simple constructions of infinite families, the proof that a positive percentage of sets under the uniform binomial model are MSTD but not if…
In 2017, motivated by a supercongruence conjectured by Kimoto and Wakayama and confirmed by Long, Osburn and Swisher, Z.-W. Sun introduced the sequence of polynomials: $$…
Turner's Conjecture describes all blocks of symmetric groups and Hecke algebras up to derived equivalence in terms of certain double algebras. With a view towards a proof of this conjecture, we develop a general theory of Turner doubles. In…
In 1888, Hilbert described how to find real polynomials in more than one variable which take only non-negative values but are not a sum of squares of polynomials. His construction was so restrictive that no explicit examples appeared until…
In this paper we deal with the noteworthy Sylvester's determinantal identity and some of its generalizations. We report the formulae due to Yakovlev, to Gasca, Lopez--Carmona, Ramirez, to Beckermann, Gasca, M\"uhlbach, and to Mulders in a…
In this paper, we analyze the set of all possible aggregate distributions of the sum of standard uniform random variables, a simply stated yet challenging problem in the literature of distributions with given margins. Our main results are…
In 1959, N. J. Fine showed that the sum of the multinomial coefficients corresponding to the partitions of a natural number $n$ into $r$ parts is a binomial coefficient: $$ \sum_{\substack{k_1 + k_2 + k_3 + {}\ldots = r \\ k_1 + 2k_2 + 3k_3…
In 2015, Phulara established a generalization of the famous central set theorem by an original idea. Roughly speaking, this idea extends a combinatorial result from one large subset of the given semigroup to countably many. In this paper,…
To every poset P, Stanley (1986) associated two polytopes, the order polytope and the chain polytope, whose geometric properties reflect the combinatorial qualities of P. This construction allows for deep insights into combinatorics by way…
