On certain continued fraction expansions of fixed period length
We study q-analogues of three Appell polynomials, the H-polynomials, the Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials, whereby two new q-difference operators and the NOVA q-addition play key roles. The definitions of the new polynomials are by the generating function; like in our book, two forms, NWA and JHC are always given together with tables, symmetry relations and recurrence formulas. It is shown that the complementary argument theorems can be extended to the new polynomials as well as to...
Let p be an odd prime number. We prove the existence of certain infinite families of imaginary quadratic fields in which p splits and for which the Iwasawa λ-invariant of the cyclotomic ℤₚ-extension is equal to 1.
