Sheffer polynomials can be characterized using different Stieltjes integrals. These families of polynomials have been recently extended to the Dunkl context. In this way some classical operators as the derivative operator or the difference…

For $X(n)$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we consider the random polynomials $$ P_N(\theta) = \frac1{\sqrt{N}} \sum_{n\leq N} X(n) e(n\theta), $$ and show that the $2k$-th moments on the unit circle $$ \int_0^1…

Let $f$ be a non-zero polynomial with complex coefficients and define $M_n(f)=\int_0^1f(x)^n\,dx$. We use ideas of Duistermaat and van der Kallen to prove $\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|M_n(f)|^{1/n}>0$. In particular, $M_n(f)\ne 0$ for…

We consider the series of reciprocals of those positive integers with exactly $k$ occurrences of a given $b$-ary digit $d$ (Irwin series), and obtain geometrically convergent representations for their sums. They are expressed in terms of…

Stern's diatomic series, denoted by $(a(n))_{n \geq 0}$, is defined by the recurrence relations $a(2n) = a(n)$ and $a(2n + 1) = a(n) + a(n + 1)$ for $n \geq 1$, and initial values $a(0) = 0$ and $a(1) = 1$. A record-setter for a sequence…

We construct explicit solutions of a number of Stieltjes moment problems based on moments of the form ${\rho}_{1}^{(r)}(n)=(2rn)!$ and ${\rho}_{2}^{(r)}(n)=[(rn)!]^{2}$, $r=1,2,...$, $n=0,1,2,...$, \textit{i.e.} we find functions…

The Sylvester's denumerant \( d(t; \boldsymbol{a}) \) is a quantity that counts the number of nonnegative integer solutions to the equation \( \sum_{i=1}^{N} a_i x_i = t \), where \( \boldsymbol{a} = (a_1, \dots, a_N) \) is a sequence of…

Let $\Lambda_X(s)=\det(I-sX^{\dagger})$ be the characteristic polynomial of a Haar distributed unitary matrix $X$. It is believed that the distribution of values of $\Lambda_X(s)$ model the distribution of values of the Riemann…

The problem of calculating the scaled limit of the joint moments of the characteristic polynomial, and the derivative of the characteristic polynomial, for matrices from the unitary group with Haar measure first arose in studies relating to…

Considering $n\times n\times n$ stochastic tensors $(a_{ijk})$ (i.e., nonnegative hypermatrices in which every sum over one index $i$, $j$, or $k$, is 1), we study the polytope ($\Omega_{n}$) of all these tensors, the convex set ($L_n$) of…

Related to radial functions on free groups, we focus on certain polynomial hypergroups and work out spectral analysis with the help of the Stieltjes transform of their analytic functionals.

The Mahler measure of a monic polynomial $P(x) = a_dx^d + a_{d-1}x^{d-1} + \dots + a_1x + a_0$ is defined as $M(P) := |a_d| \prod_{P(\alpha)=0} \max\{1, |\alpha|\}$, where the product runs over all roots of $P$. Lehmer's problem asks…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. A sequence $X=(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_N)$ of points in the unit interval $[0,1)$ is piercing if $\{x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n\}\cap \left[\frac{i}{n},\frac{i+1}{n} \right) \neq\emptyset$ holds for every $n=1,2,\ldots, N$…

This paper introduces and develops the algebraic framework of moment polynomials, which are polynomial expressions in commuting variables and their formal mixed moments. Their positivity and optimization over probability measures supported…

We prove the following conjecture of Zeilberger. Denoting by $C_n$ the Catalan number, define inductively $A_n$ by $(-1)^{n-1}A_n=C_n+\sum_{j=1}^{n-1} (-1)^{j} \binom{2n-1}{2j-1} A_j \,C_{n-j}$ and $a_n=2A_n/C_n$. Then $a_n$ (hence $A_n$)…

The purpose of this note is twofold: firstly to characterize all the sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ such that $$ \frac{\triangle}{{\bf \triangle} x(s-1/2)}P_{n+1}(x(s-1/2))=c_n(\triangle +2\,\mathrm{I})P_n(x(s-1/2)),…

We introduce the notion of infinitely log-monotonic sequences. By establishing a connection between completely monotonic functions and infinitely log-monotonic sequences, we show that the sequences of the Bernoulli numbers, the Catalan…

Combining the definition of 0-Hecke monoids with that of Kiselman semigroups, we define what we call Kiselman quotients of 0-Hecke monoids associated with simply laced Dynkin diagrams. We classify these monoids up to isomorphism, determine…

We present a new asymptotic formula for the Stieltjes constants which is both simpler and more accurate than several others published in the literature (see e.g. \cite{Fekih-Ahmed}, \cite{Knessl Coffey}, \cite{Paris}). More importantly, it…

Let $(s_n)_{n\ge 0}$ denote an indeterminate Hamburger moment sequence and let $\mathcal H=\{s_{m+n}\}$ be the corresponding positive definite Hankel matrix. We consider the question if there exists an infinite symmetric matrix $\mathcal…
