We give an extension of Sister Celine's method of proving hypergeometric sum identities that allows it to handle a larger variety of input summands. We then apply this to several problems. Some give new results, and some reprove already…

We present integral representations of solutions to division problems involving matrices of polynomials in several complex variables. We also find estimates of the polynomial degree of the solutions by means of careful degree estimates of…

A solution to the effectiveness problem in Kohn's algorithm for generating subelliptic multipliers is provided for domains that include those given by sums of squares of holomorphic functions (also including infinite sums). These domains…

We give a spectral theorem for unital representations of Hermitian commutative unital *-algebras by possibly unbounded operators in a pre-Hilbert space. A better result is known for the case in which the *-algebra is countably generated.

We show that the denominator formula for the strange series of affine superalgebras, conjectured by Kac and Wakimoto and proved by Zagier, follows from a classical determinant evaluation of Frobenius. As a limit case, we obtain exact…

The theories of hypergeometric functions and modular forms are highly intertwined. For example, particular values of truncated hypergeometric functions and hypergeometric character sums are often congruent or equal to Fourier coefficients…

The hyperharmonic numbers h_{n}^{(r)} are defined by means of the classical harmonic numbers. We show that the Euler-type sums with hyperharmonic numbers: {\sigma}(r,m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}((h_{n}^{(r)})/(n^{m})) can be expressed in terms of…

We use a representability theorem of G. L. Watson to examine sums of squares in Quaternion rings with integer coefficients. This allows us to determine a large family of such rings where every element expressible as the sum of squares can…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which the numerator of the partial derivative of a rational function holomorphic in open upper poly-halfplane is the sum of squares of polynomials.

By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…

We review the series solutions of the general and single-confluent Heun equations in terms of powers, ordinary-hypergeometric and confluent-hypergeometric functions. The conditions under which the expansions reduce to finite sums as well as…

We investigate the Membership Problem for hypergeometric sequences: given a hypergeometric sequence $\langle u_n \rangle_{n=0}^\infty$ of rational numbers and a target $t \in \mathbb{Q}$, decide whether $t$ occurs in the sequence. We show…

Hypercubic groups in any dimension are defined and their conjugate classifications and representation theories are derived. Double group and spinor representation are introduced. A detailed calculation is carried out on the structures of…

In this paper we describe an algorithm for implicitizing rational hypersurfaces in case there exists at most a finite number of base points. It is based on a technique exposed in math.AG/0210096, where implicit equations are obtained as…

We continue the study of counting complexity begun in [Buergisser, Cucker 04] and [Buergisser, Cucker, Lotz 05] by proving upper and lower bounds on the complexity of computing the Hilbert polynomial of a homogeneous ideal. We show that the…

We give a systematic and unified discussion of various classes of hypergeometric type equations: the hypergeometric equation, the confluent equation, the F_1 equation (equivalent to the Bessel equation), the Gegenbauer equation and the…

We introduce a kind of finite truncation of the hypergeometric series and provide its discretized integral representation. This is motivated by recent results of Maesaka-Seki-Watanabe and Hirose-Matsusaka-Seki on the identity between…

We present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…

When k > 1 and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.

Inspired by the split decomposition of graphs and rank-width, we introduce the notion of $r$-splits. We focus on the family of $r$-splits of a graph of order $n$, and we prove that it forms a hypergraph with several properties. We prove…
