We show that the alternative discrete Painlev\'e I equation (alt-dP$_{\rm I}$) has a unique solution which remains positive for all $n \geq 0$. Furthermore, we identify this positive solution in terms of a special solution of the second…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a linear system in continuous time $t>0$ with input and output space ${\mathbb C}^2$ and state space $H$. The scattering functions $\phi_{(x)}(t)=Ce^{-(t+2x)A}B$ determines a Hankel integral operator $\Gamma_{\phi_{(x)}}$;…

The binomial convolution of two sequences $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ is the sequence whose $n$th term is $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a_k b_{n-k}$. If $\{a_n\}$ and $\{b_n\}$ have rational generating functions then so does their binomial…
Bilinear structure for the discrete Painlev\'e I equation is investigated. The solution on semi-infinite lattice is given in terms of the Casorati determinant of discrete Airy function. Based on this fact, the discrete Painlev\'e I equation…

We sketch a Weyl creation operator approach to the Riemann Hypothesis; i.e.,arithmetic on the Weyl algebras with ergodic theory to transport operators. We prove that finite Hasse-Dirichlet alternating zeta functions or eta functions can be…
For a L\'evy process $\xi=(\xi_t)_{t\geq0}$ drifting to $-\infty$, we define the so-called exponential functional as follows \[{\rm{I}}_{\xi}=\int_0^{\infty}e^{\xi_t} dt.\] Under mild conditions on $\xi$, we show that the following…
