We study content ideals of polynomials and their behavior under multiplication. We give a generalization of the Lemma of Dedekind-Mertens and prove the converse under suitable dimensionality restrictions.
This is an expanded version. We study relations among special values of zeta functions, invariants of toric varieties, and generalized Dedekind sums. In particular, we use invariants arising in the Todd class of a toric variety to give a…
Generalized Zeckendorf decompositions are expansions of integers as sums of elements of solutions to recurrence relations. The simplest cases are base-$b$ expansions, and the standard Zeckendorf decomposition uses the Fibonacci sequence.…
The main purpose of this paper is to study the hybrid mean value problem involving generalized Dedekind sums, generalized Hardy sums and Kloosterman sums, and give some exact computational formulae for them by using the properties of Gauss…
The article presents results on the well-known problem concerning the structure of integer polynomials $p_n(z; x, y)$, which define multiplication laws in $n$-valued groups $\mathbb{G}_n$ over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$. We…
We express the number of lattice points inside certain simplices via Dedekind-Rademacher sums. As an application, we prove a conjecture of Kronheimer and Mrowka in the special case of Brieskorn spheres (with at most 4 singular fibers). This…
The newform Dedekind sum $S_{\chi_1, \chi_2}$ associated to a pair of primitive Dirichlet characters $\chi_1$, $\chi_2$ of respective conductors $q_1$, $q_2$, is a group homomorphism from $\Gamma_1(q_1 q_2)$ into the number field…
In this expository note, we revisit several classical arithmetic functions - namely Euler's totient function, the divisor sum functions and Dedekind's $\psi$-function - within a unifying algebraic framework that highlights their connections…
The problem of finding the number of lattice points in a triangle has a classical solution if the lattice is $\mathbf{Z}^2$ and the vertices of the triangle have integer valued coordinates. We consider what happens when we replace the…
In this paper, we present new objects, quilts of alternating sign matrices with respect to two given posets. Quilts generalize several commonly used concepts in mathematics. For example, the rank function on submatrices of a matrix gives…
A sum-and-distance system is a collection of finite sets of integers such that the sums and differences formed by taking one element from each set generate a prescribed arithmetic progression. Such systems, with two component sets, arise…
Let $V$ be a real vector space of dimension $n$ and let $M\subset V$ be a lattice. Let $P\subset V$ be an $n$-dimensional polytope with vertices in $M$, and let $\varphi\colon V\rightarrow \CC $ be a homogeneous polynomial function of…
The usual univariate interpolation problem of finding a monic polynomial f of degree n that interpolates n given values is well understood. This paper studies a variant where f is required to be composite, say, a composition of two…
We combine the parametric Barvinok algorithm with a generation algorithm for a finite list of suitably chosen discrete sub-cases on the enumeration of complete simple games, i.e. a special subclass of monotone Boolean functions. Recently,…
The recent hardware trend towards reduced precision computing has reignited the interest in numerical techniques that can be used to enhance the accuracy of floating point operations beyond what is natively supported for basic arithmetic…
A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of…
The generalized Poisson distribution is well known to be a compound Poisson distribution with Borel summands. As a generalization we present closed formulas for compound Bartlett and Delaporte distributions with Borel summands and a…
We study the distributions of values of the logarithmic derivatives of the Dedekind zeta functions on a fixed vertical line. The main object is determining and investigating the density functions of such value-distributions for any…
In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of generalized heptagonal numbers with a prescribed number of repeats of each heptagonal number appearing in the sum. In particular, we investigate the classification of such…
Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers ${F_n}$, with initial terms $F_1 = 1, F_2 = 2$. Previous work proved that as $n \to \infty$ the distribution of…
