We derive an identity for certain linear combinations of polylogarithm functions with negative exponents, which implies relations for linear combinations of Eulerian numbers. The coefficients of our linear combinations are related to…

We revisit the decoupling approach widely used (often intuitively) in nonlinear analysis and optimization and initially formalized about a quarter of a century ago by Borwein & Zhu, Borwein & Ioffe and Lassonde. It allows one to streamline…

David Little developed a combinatorial algorithm to study the Schur-positivity of Stanley symmetric functions and the Lascoux-Sch\"{u}tzenberger tree. We generalize this algorithm to affine Stanley symmetric functions.

Okada and Stembridge's Pfaffian formula for the enumeration of families of nonintersecting paths with fixed starting points and unfixed ending points has been widely used to resolve many challenging problems in enumerative combinatorics. In…

We describe an explicit chain map from the standard resolution to the minimal resolution for the finite cyclic group Z_k of order k. We then demonstrate how such a chain map induces a "Z_k-combinatorial Stokes theorem", which in turn…

We give an alternative proof of a formula that generalizes Hermite's identity. Instead involving modular arithmetic, our short proof relies on the Fourier-type expansion for the floor function and on a trigonometric formula.

Maesaka, Seki, and Watanabe recently discovered an equality called the MSW formula. This paper provides a $q$-analogue of the MSW formula. It discusses the new proof of the duality relation for finite multiple harmonic $q$-series at…

Using a general $q$-summation formula, we derive a generating function for the $q$-Hahn polynomials, which is used to give a complete proof of the orthogonality relation for the $q$-Hahn polynomials. A new proof of the orthogonality…

Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…

We consider two sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(Q_n)_{n\geq 0}$ with respect regular functionals ${\bf u}$ and ${\bf v}$, respectively. We assume that $$\sum_{j=1} ^{M} a_{j,n}\mathrm{D}_x ^k P_{k+n-j}…

We present numerous interesting, mostly new, results involving the $n$-step Fibonacci numbers and $n$-step Lucas numbers and a generalization. Properties considered include recurrence relations, summation identities, including binomial and…

The equation commonly known as Sury's identity is a deceptively simple summation formula that connects the Lucas numbers, Fibonacci numbers, and powers of two. Many authors have given extensions and generalizations over the years; in this…

Gurevich, Pyatov and Saponov recently stated an expansion for the product of two Schur functions and gave a proof based on the Pluecker relations. Here we show that this identity is in fact a special case of a quite general Schur function…

The aim of this research is to provide thirty-two interesting summation formulas for the Kamp\'e de F\'eriet function in general forms, which are given in sixteen theorems. The results are established with the help of the identities in Liu…

By making use of the multiplicate form of the extended Carlitz inverse series relations, we establish two general `dual' theorems of Jackson's summation formula for well--poised $_8\phi_7$-series. Their duplicate forms under the partition…

This paper proves a combinatorial rule giving all maximal and minimal partitions $\lambda$ such that the Schur function $s_\lambda$ appears in a plethysm of two arbitrary Schur functions. Determining the decomposition of these plethysms has…

Spivey presented a new approach to evaluate combinatorial sums by using finite differences. We present some closed forms for sums involving the binomial coefficients, Fibonacci and Lucas numbers in terms of the falling factorial.

In this paper we generalize the notion of the comparative index for the pair of Lagrangian subspaces which has fundamental applications in oscillation theory of symplectic difference systems and linear differential Hamiltonian systems. We…

In this work we study the relationship between several combinatorial formulas for type $A$ spherical Whittaker functions. These are spherical functions on $p$-adic groups, which arise in the theory of automorphic forms. They depend on a…

We present a set of algebraic relations among Schur functions which are a multi-time generalization of the ``discrete Hirota relations'' known to hold among the Schur functions of rectangular partitions. We prove the relations as an…
