Much is known about binomial coefficients where primes are concerned, but considerably less is known regarding prime powers and composites. This paper provides two conjectures in these directions, one about counting binomial coefficients…
We define new generalized factorials in several variables over an arbitrary subset $\underline{S} \subseteq R^n,$ where $R$ is a Dedekind domain and $n$ is a positive integer. We then study the properties of the fixed divisor…
We prove a classification of additive polynomial superfunctors, which allows us to compute some extensions of a superfunctor of the form $F \circ A$ where $F$ is a classical polynomial functor and $A$ is additive. We get a formula which…
We present a variation and generalization of a determinant evaluation of Wilf (math.CO/9809120). His result concerns a matrix whose entries are the coefficients of powers of a given power series; we replace the powers by repeated…

We investigate the structure of ideals generated by binomials (polynomials with at most two terms) and the schemes and varieties associated to them. The class of binomial ideals contains many classical examples from algebraic geometry, and…
In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…
We give solutions of a Diophantine equation containing factorials, which can be written as a cubic form, or as a sum of binomial coefficients. We also give some solutions to higher degree forms and relate some solutions to an unsolvable…
In this paper, we present a general framework for the derivation of interesting finite combinatorial sums starting with certain classes of polynomial identities. The sums that can be derived involve products of binomial coefficients and…
The binomial notation (w u) represents the number of occurrences of the word u as a (scattered) subword in w. We first introduce and study possible uses of a geometrical interpretation of (w ab) and (w ba) when a and b are distinct letters.…
Factorization models express a statistical object of interest in terms of a collection of simpler objects. For example, a matrix or tensor can be expressed as a sum of rank-one components. However, in practice, it can be challenging to…
We initiate the study of the cohomology of (strict polynomial) bifunctors by introducing the foundational formalism, establishing numerous properties in analogy with the cohomology of functors, and providing computational techniques. Since…
We will show in this text that, for all non-negative integers $n$ and $l$, the following equality is verified: \[\sum_{i=0}^{l} {n-i \choose i}{l+i \choose 2i+1}=\sum_{i=0}^{l} {n-i \choose i-1}{l+i \choose 2i}.\] We will first address the…
We provide upper bounds on the total number of irreducible factors, and in particular irreducibility criteria for some classes of bivariate polynomials $f(x,y)$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. Our results rely on information on the…
In this note we show a simple formula for the coefficients of the polynomial associated with the sums of powers of the terms of an arbitrary arithmetic progression. This formula consists of a double sum involving only ordinary binomial…
