We continue the development of the basic theory of generalized derivatives as introduced in \cite{JPA} and give some of their applications. In particular, we formulate versions of a weak maximum principle, Rolle's theorem, the Mean value…

We introduce a q-deformation of Dirichlet series : for each s, an operator acting on formal power series in q without constant term. We relate Bernoulli-Carlitz numbers to the q-Riemann Zeta operators for negative integers, evaluated on…

We give an explicit formula for the symbol of a function of an operator. Given an operator {\hat A} on L^2(R^N) with symbol A, and a function f, we obtain the symbol of f(\hat A) in terms of A. As an application, Bohr-Sommerfeld…

Let $\chi$ be a real non-principal character modulo a prime $q$ and $L(s,\chi)$ be the corresponding $L$-function. We prove that for any real number $s\geq 1$ there holds $$ -\frac{L'(s,\chi )}{L(s,\chi)}\leq c \log q,$$ where $c$ can be…

For $q \in (0, 1)$, the deformed exponential function $f(x) = \sum_{n \geq 1} x^n q^{n(n-1)/2}/n!$ is known to have infinitely many simple and negative zeros $\{x_k(q)\}_{k \geq 1}$. In this paper, we analyze the series expansions of…

We compute the nth derivative of a function given parametrically, and of one given implicitly, and some history for both problems. I am posting this version of the paper at the request of Shaul Zemel, whose forthcoming paper The…

The purpose of this paper is to construct p-adic analytically continued function which interpolates q-Euler numbers at negative integer Finally, we give an explicit p-adic expansion as a power series in n.

In this paper we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution of a Cauchy type q-fractional problem (involving the fractional q-derivative of Riemann-Liouville type) for some nonlinear differential equations. The key…

We present a proof of the explicit formula for the asymptotically free eigenfunctions of the $B_N$ $q$-Toda operator which was conjectured by the first and third authors. This formula can be regarded as a branching formula from the $B_N$…

Based on the fractional $q$-integral with the parametric lower limit of integration, we define fractional $q$-derivative of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo type. The properties are studied separately as well as relations between them. Also, we…

We show an exact (i.e. no smooth error terms) Fourier inversion type formula for differential operators over Riemannian manifolds. This provides a coordinate free approach for the theory of pseudo-differential operators.

We show that, for all positive integers $n_1, \ldots, n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any non-negative integers $j$ and $r$ with $j\leqslant m$, the expression $$ \frac{1}{[n_1]}{n_1+n_{m}\brack n_1}^{-1}…

Let F(z) be a rational function in Q(z) of degree at least 2 with F(0) = 0 and such that F does not vanish to order d at 0. Let b be a rational number having infinite orbit under iteration of F, and write F^n(b) = A_n/B_n as a fraction in…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, where $x\in \mathbb{C}$ is a variable and $q\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<|q|<1$, is a parameter. We show that, for any fixed $q$, if $\zeta$ is a multiple…

We consider the algebra $\square_q$ which is a mild generalization of the quantum algebra $U_q(\frak{sl}_2)$. The algebra $\square_q$ is defined by generators and relations. The generators are $\{x_i\}_{i\in \mathbb{Z}_4}$, where…

We provide a general product formula for the solution of nonautonomous abstract delay equations. After having shown the convergence we obtain estimates on the order of convergence for differentiable history functions. Finally, the…

In these lectures we present five interpretations of the Fa' di Bruno formula which computes the n-th derivative of the composition of two functions of one variable: in terms of groups, Lie algebras and Hopf algebras, in combinatorics and…

The Qth-power algorithm produces a useful canonical P-module presentation for the integral closures of certain integral extensions of $P:=\mathbf{F}[x_n,...,x_1]$, a polyonomial ring over the finite field $\mathbf{F}:=\mathbf{Z}_q$ of $q$…

The simple product formulae for derivatives of scalar functions raised to different powers are generalized for functions which take values in the set of symmetric positive definite matrices. These formulae are fundamental in derivation of…

Here we follow the basic analysis that is common for real and complex variables and find how it can be applied to a quaternionic variable. Non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses obstacles for the usual manipulations; but we show…
