On the sum relation of multiple Hurwitz zeta functions

In this paper we shall define the special-valued multiple Hurwitz zeta functions, namely the multiple t-values t(α) and define similarly the multiple star t-values as t^?(α). Then we consider the sum of all such multiple (star) t-values of fixed depth and weight with even argument and prove that such a sum can be evaluated when the evaluations of t({2m}ⁿ) and t*({2m}ⁿ) are clear. We give the evaluations of them in terms of the classical Euler numbers through their generating functions.     

Statistical convergence of multiple sequences

We extend the concept of and basic results on statistical convergence from ordinary (single) sequences to multiple sequences of (real or complex) numbers. As an application to Fourier analysis, we obtain the following Theorem 3: (i) If $f \in L(\textrm{log}^{+} L)^{d-1}(\mathbb{T}^d)$, where $\mathbb{T}^d := [-\pi, \pi)^{d}$ is the d-dimensional torus, then the Fourier series of f is statistically convergent to $f({\bf t})$ at almost every ${\bf t} \in \mathbb{T}^d$; (ii) If $f \in C(\mathbb{T}^d)$, then the Fourier series of f is statistically convergent to $f ({\bf t})$ uniformly on $\mathbb{T}^d$.

q-Hardy-Berndt type sums associated with q-Genocchi type zeta and q-l-functions

The aim of this paper is to define new generating functions. By applying a derivative operator and the Mellin transformation to these generating functions, we define q-analogue of the Genocchi zeta function, q-analogue Hurwitz type Genocchi zeta function, and q-Genocchi type l-function. We define partial zeta function. By using this function, we construct p-adic interpolation functions which interpolate generalized q-Genocchi numbers at negative integers. We also define p-adic meromorphic functions on C_p. Furthermore, we construct new generating functions of q-Hardy-Berndt type sums and q-Hardy-Berndt type sums attached to Dirichlet character. We also give some new relations, related to these sums.

On Witten’s type of zeta values attached to <Emphasis Type="Italic">SO</Emphasis>(5)

In this paper, we consider Wittens type of zeta value attached to SO(5) defined by for nonnegative integers p, q, r, s. We prove that this value can be expressed as a rational linear combination of products of Riemanns zeta values at positive integers when this is convergent and p + q + r + s is odd.Received: 27 January 2003     

A generalization of Ohnoʼs relation for multiple zeta values

In this paper, we prove that certain parametrized multiple series satisfy the same relation as Ohno?s relation for multiple zeta values. This result gives us a generalization of Ohno?s relation for multiple zeta values. By virtue of this generalization, we obtain a certain equivalence between the above relation among the parametrized multiple series and a subfamily of the relation. As applications of the above results, we obtain some results on multiple zeta values.     

Determination of the poles of the topological zeta function for curves

Tof ∈ℂ[x ₁…,x _n ] one associates thetopological zeta function which is an invariant of (the germ of)f at 0, defined in terms of an embedded resolution of (the germ of)f ⁻¹{0} inf ⁻¹{0}. By definition the topological zeta function is a rational function in one variable, and it is related to Igusa’s local zeta function. A major problem is the study of its poles. In this paper we exactly determine all poles of the topological zeta function forn=2 and anyf ∈ℂ[x ₁,x ₂]. In particular there exists at most one pole of order two, and in this case it is the pole closest to the origin. Our proofs rely on a new geometrical result which makes the embedded resolution graph of the germ off into an ‘ordered tree’ with respect to the so-callednumerical data of the resolution.

Minimally 3-connected isotropic systems

Isotropic systems are structures which unify some properties of 4-regular graphs and selfdual properties of binary matroids, such as connectivity and minors. In this paper, we find the minimally 3-connected isotropic systems. This result implies the binary part Tutte's wheels and whirls theorem.     

KKM—A Topological Approach For Trees

The Knaster–Kuratowski–Mazurkiewicz (KKM) theorem is a powerful tool in many areas of mathematics. In this paper we introduce a version of the KKM theorem for trees and use it to prove several combinatorial theorems.A 2-tree hypergraph is a family of nonempty subsets of T R (where T and R are trees), each of which has a connected intersection with T and with R. A homogeneous 2-tree hypergraph is a family of subsets of T each of which is the union of two connected sets.For each such hypergraph H we denote by (H) the minimal cardinality of a set intersecting all sets in the hypergraph and by (H) the maximal number of disjoint sets in it.In this paper we prove that in a 2-tree hypergraph (H)2(H) and in a homogeneous 2-tree hypergraph (H)3(H). This improves the result of Alon [3], that (H)8(H) in both cases.Similar results are proved for d-tree hypergraphs and homogeneous d-tree hypergraphs, which are defined in a similar way. All the results improve the results of Alon [3] and generalize the results of Kaiser [1] for intervals.     

Motivic Serre invariants of curves

In this article, we generalize the theory of motivic integration on formal schemes topologically of finite type and the notion of motivic Serre invariant, to a relative point of view. We compute the relative motivic Serre invariant for curves defined over the field of fractions of a complete discrete valuation ring R of equicharacteristic zero. One aim of this study is to understand the behavior of motivic Serre invariants under ramified extension of the ring R. Thanks to our constructions, we obtain, in particular, an expression for the generating power series, whose coefficients are the motivic Serre invariant associated to a curve, computed on a tower of ramified extensions of R. We give an interpretation of this series in terms of the motivic zeta function of Denef and Loeser.     

Conical zeta values and their double subdivision relations

We introduce the concept of a conical zeta value as a geometric generalization of a multiple zeta value in the context of convex cones. The quasi-shuffle and shuffle relations of multiple zeta values are generalized to open cone subdivision and closed cone subdivision relations respectively for conical zeta values. In order to achieve the closed cone subdivision relation, we also interpret linear relations among fractions as subdivisions of decorated closed cones. As a generalization of the double shuffle relation of multiple zeta values, we give the double subdivision relation of conical zeta values and formulate the extended double subdivision relation conjecture for conical zeta values.     

Density of constant radius normal binary covering codes

A binary code with covering radius R is a subset C of the hypercube Q_n={0,1}ⁿ such that every x∈Q_n is within Hamming distance R of some codeword c∈C, where R is as small as possible. For a fixed coordinate i∈[n], define to be the set of codewords with a b in the ith position. Then C is normal if there exists an i∈[n] such that for any v∈Q_n, the sum of the Hamming distances from v to and is at most 2R+1. We newly define what it means for an asymmetric covering code to be normal, and consider the worst-case asymptotic densities ν^*(R) and of constant radius R symmetric and asymmetric normal covering codes, respectively. Using a probabilistic deletion method, and analysis adapted from previous work by Krivelevich, Sudakov, and Vu, we show that and , giving evidence that minimum size constant radius covering codes could still be normal.

Bartholdi zeta and L-functions of weighted digraphs, their coverings and products

Since a zeta function of a regular graph was introduced by Ihara [Y. Ihara, On discrete subgroups of the two by two projective linear group over p-adic fields, J. Math. Soc. Japan 19 (1966) 219-235], many kinds of zeta functions and L-functions of a graph or a digraph have been defined and investigated. Most of the works concerning zeta and L-functions of a graph contain the following: (1) defining a zeta function, (2) defining an L-function associated with a (regular) graph covering, (3) providing their determinant expressions, and (4) computing the zeta function of a graph covering and obtaining its decomposition formula as a product of L-functions. As a continuation of those works, we introduce a zeta function of a weighted digraph and an L-function associated with a weighted digraph bundle. A graph bundle is a notion containing a cartesian product of graphs and a (regular or irregular) graph covering. Also we provide determinant expressions of the zeta function and the L-function. Moreover, we compute the zeta function of a weighted digraph bundle and obtain its decomposition formula as a product of the L-functions.     

Tauberian conditions for w-almost convergent double sequences

In this paper, we introduce the concept of w-almost convergent sequences. Such a definition is a weak form of almost convergent sequences given by G. G. Lorentz in [Acta Math. 80(1948),167-190]. We give a detailed study on w-almost convergent double sequences and prove that w-almost convergence and almost convergence are equivalent under the boundedness of the given sequence. The Tauberian results for w-almost convergence are established. Our Tauberian results generalize a result of Lorentz and Tauber’s second theorem. Moreover, we prove that w-almost convergence and norm convergence are equivalent for the sequence of the rectangular partial sums of the Fourier series of f ∈ L^p(T²), where 1 < p < ∞.      

Transversals of 2-intervals,a topological approach

Fix two distinct parallel linese andf. A 2-interval is the union of an interval one and an interval onf. We study thetransversal number τ (ℋ) of families of 2-intervals ℋ. This is the cardinality of the smallest set which intersects every 2-interval in ℋ. A Gyárfás and J. Lehel [6] proved that τ(ℋ)=O(υ(ℋ)²) where ν(ℋ) is the maximum number of disjoint 2-intervals in ℋ. In the present paper we prove the tight bond τ(ℋ)≤2v(ℋ). Our result has applications in the estimation of the transversal number of other types of set systems. The method we use is topological. We associate a simplicial complexK with our system of 2-intervals and prove that a given subcomplex is contractible inK unless the required transversal exists. Then we construct a cocycle of (another subcomplex of)K to prove that the subcomplex is not contractible inK. We hope that this approach will be applicable to a wider variety of combinatorial optimization problems.

On Eisenstein polynomials and zeta polynomials

Eisenstein polynomials, which were defined by Oura, are analogues of the concept of an Eisenstein series. Oura conjectured that there exist some analogous properties between Eisenstein series and Eisenstein polynomials. In this paper, we provide new analogous properties of Eisenstein polynomials and zeta polynomials. These properties are finite analogies of certain properties of Eisenstein series.
