The Birkhoff polytope $\mathcal{B}_d$ consisting of all bistochastic matrices of order $d$ assists researchers from many areas, including combinatorics, statistical physics and quantum information. Its subset $\mathcal{U}_d$ of…
Let $X\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ be a (global) real analytic surface. Then every positive semidefinite meromorphic function on $X$ is a sum of $10$ squares of meromorphic functions on $X$. As a consequence, we provide a real Nullstellensatz for…
We introduce two families of generators (functions) $\mathcal{G}$ that consist of entire and meromorphic functions enjoying a certain periodicity property and contain the classical Gaussian and hyperbolic secant generators. Sharp results…
We present techniques for obtaining a generating function for the central coefficients of a triangle $T(n,k)$, which is given by the expression $[xH(x)]^k=\sum_{n\geqslant k} T(n,k)x^n$, $H(0)\neq 0$. We also prove certain theorems for…
We consider the set of Stieltjes moment sequences, for which every positive power is again a Stieltjes moment sequence, we and prove an integral representation of the logarithm of the moment sequence in analogy to the L\'evy-Khinchin…
We define a magic square to be a square matrix whose entries are nonnegative integers and whose rows, columns, and main diagonals sum up to the same number. We prove structural results for the number of such squares as a function of the…
We characterize all signed Minkowski sums that define generalized permutahedra, extending results of Ardila-Benedetti-Doker (2010). We use this characterization to give a complete classification of all positive, translation-invariant,…
In this paper, we derive a new monotonicity formula for the plurisuhbarmonic functions on complete K\"ahler manifolds with nonnegative bisectional curvature. As applications we derive the sharp estimates for the dimension of the spaces of…
We derive asymptotic formulae for the coefficients of bivariate generating functions with algebraic and logarithmic factors. Logarithms appear when encoding cycles of combinatorial objects, and also implicitly when objects can be broken…
In connection with Eisenstein series for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(n)$, Hecke introduced certain numbers, of which he said that they are rational and cumbersome to calculate. We show, however, that these numbers are…
The modified Bernoulli numbers $B_{n}^{*}$ considered by Zagier are generalized to modified N\"orlund polynomials ${B_{n}^{(\ell)*}}$. For $\ell\in\mathbb{N}$, an explicit expression for the generating function for these polynomials is…
Fibonacci polynomials are generalizations of Fibonacci numbers, so it is natural to consider polynomial versions of the various results for Fibonacci numbers. According to Hong, Pongsriiam, Bulawa, and Lee, the generating function of the…
The Baldoni--Vergne volume and Ehrhart polynomial formulas for flow polytopes are significant in at least two ways. On one hand, these formulas are in terms of Kostant partition functions, connecting flow polytopes to this classical vector…
Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold are a count of holomorphic curves. We describe a formula expressing the GW invariants of a symplectic sum $X# Y$ in terms of the relative GW invariants of $X$ and $Y$. This formula has…
It is demonstrated how an explicit expression of the (partial) sum of Tetranacci numbers can be found and proved using generating functions and the Hadamard product. We also provide a Binet-type formula for generalized Fibonacci numbers, by…
A new isomorphism invariant of matroids is introduced, in the form of a quasisymmetric function. This invariant (1) defines a Hopf morphism from the Hopf algebra of matroids to the quasisymmetric functions, which is surjective if one uses…
We propose a class of generating functions denoted by $\textrm{RGF}_p(x)$, which is related to the Sylvester denumerant for the quotients of numerical semigroups. Using MacMahon's partition analysis, we can obtain $\textrm{RGF}_p(x)$ by…
In this paper we construct a Birkhoff normal form for a semiclassical magnetic Schr{\"o}dinger operator with non-degenerate magnetic field, and discrete magnetic well, defined on an even dimensional riemannian manifold M. We use this normal…
The multi-variable Schmidt polynomials are defined by $$ S_n^{(r)}(x_0,\ldots,x_n):=\sum_{k=0}^n {n+k \choose 2k}^{r}{2k\choose k} x_k. $$ We prove that, for any positive integers $m$, $n$, $r$, and $\varepsilon=\pm 1$, all the coefficients…
Any square matrix can be transformed into a doubly stochastic matrix via Sinkhorn scaling with diagonal matrices or completing to a larger dimensional matrix. Standard Birkhoff-von Neumann and Pauli decompositions represent such matrices as…
