A note on q -partial difference equations and some applications to generating functions and q -integrals

Da-Wei Niu, Jian Cao (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study the condition on expanding an analytic several variables function in terms of products of the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. As applications, we deduce bilinear generating functions for the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. We also gain multilinear generating functions for the homogeneous generalized Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials. Moreover, we obtain generalizations of Andrews-Askey integrals and Ramanujan q -beta integrals. At last, we derive U ( n + 1 ) ...

A note on representation functions with different weights

Zhenhua Qu (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For any positive integer k and any set A of nonnegative integers, let r 1 , k ( A , n ) denote the number of solutions (a₁,a₂) of the equation n = a₁ + ka₂ with a₁,a₂ ∈ A. Let k,l ≥ 2 be two distinct integers. We prove that there exists a set A ⊆ ℕ such that both r 1 , k ( A , n ) = r 1 , k ( A , n ) and r 1 , l ( A , n ) = r 1 , l ( A , n ) hold for all n ≥ n₀ if and only if log k/log l = a/b for some odd positive integers a,b, disproving a conjecture of Yang. We also show that for any set A ⊆ ℕ satisfying r 1 , k ( A , n ) = r 1 , k ( A , n ) for all n ≥ n₀, we have r 1 , k ( A , n ) as n → ∞.

A note on the determinant of a Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrix

Mircea Merca (2013)

Special Matrices

The nth-order determinant of a Toeplitz-Hessenberg matrix is expressed as a sum over the integer partitions of n. Many combinatorial identities involving integer partitions and multinomial coefficients can be generated using this formula.

A note on the number of squares in a partial word with one hole

Francine Blanchet-Sadri, Robert Mercaş (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

A well known result of Fraenkel and Simpson states that the number of distinct squares in a word of length n is bounded by 2n since at each position there are at most two distinct squares whose last occurrence starts. In this paper, we investigate squares in partial words with one hole, or sequences over a finite alphabet that have a “do not know” symbol or “hole”. A square in a partial word over a given alphabet has the form uv where u is compatible with v, and consequently, such square is...
