Trigonometric sums and fresnel-type integrals

If the partial sums of a trigonometric series are non-negative and two additional conditions are satisfied, then the given series is a Fourier series. One of these conditions is analysed here and necessary expansions and numerical values are given.     

Infinite sums for Fibonacci polynomials and Lucas polynomials

The Ramanujan Journal - In this paper we establish certain infinite sums involving many arithmetical functions and the Fibonacci polynomials or the Lucas polynomials. Several of the sums are given...     

Asymptotics of generalized jacobi polynomials

Polynomialsp ₁,(z),p ₂ (z), of degreen are defined by the relation \(p_1 (z) + p_2 (z)\prod\nolimits_{i = 1}^3 {(z - b_l )^{v_1 } } = O(z^{ - n - 1} ),z \to \infty \) , where \(\sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^3 {v_i = 0} \) . We obtain the asymptotic behavior of these polynomials asn→∞ and show that it agrees with a previous conjecture.     

Degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, generalized factorial sums, and their applications

We prove a general symmetric identity involving the degenerate Bernoulli polynomials and sums of generalized falling factorials, which unifies several known identities for Bernoulli and degenerate Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. We use this identity to describe some combinatorial relations between these polynomials and generalized factorial sums. As further applications we derive several identities, recurrences, and congruences involving the Bernoulli numbers, degenerate Bernoulli numbers, generalized factorial sums, Stirling numbers of the first kind, Bernoulli numbers of higher order, and Bernoulli numbers of the second kind.     

Asymptotics of unitary and orthogonal matrix integrals

In this paper, we prove that in small parameter regions, arbitrary unitary matrix integrals converge in the large N limit and match their formal expansion. Secondly we give a combinatorial model for our matrix integral asymptotics and investigate examples related to free probability and the HCIZ integral. Our convergence result also leads us to new results of smoothness of microstates. We finally generalize our approach to integrals over the orthogonal group.     

Special polynomials and elliptic integrals

We show that the use of generalized multivariable forms of Hermite polynomials provide a useful tool for the evaluation of families of elliptic type integrals often encountered in electrostatics and electrodynamics     

On Riemann sums and Lebesgue integrals

Call a sequence of positive integers(m _k ) _k=1 ^∞ a chain ifm _k devidesm _k+1 and that it has dimensiond if it is a subset of the set of least common multiples ofd chains. In this paper we give a new and elementary proof that iff∈L(logL)^d?1([0, 1)) and(m _k ) _k=1 ^∞ is of dimensiond then $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{N \to \infty } \frac{1}{N}\sum\limits_{n = 1}^N {f\left( {\left\{ {x + \frac{n}{{m_N }}} \right\}} \right)} = \int_X {fd\mu , a.e.,} $$ with respect to Lebesgue measure. This result was first proved byL. Dubins andJ. Pitman [2] using martingale theory.     

Asymptotics of multinomial sums and identities between multi-integrals

We calculate the asymptotics of combinatorial sums ∑ _α f(α)( _α ⁿ ) ^β , whereα = (α ₁, …,α _h ) withα _i =α _j for certaini, j. Hereh is fixed and theα _i ’s are natural numbers. This implies the asymptotics of the correspondingS _n -character degrees ∑_λ f(λ)d _λ ^β . For certain sequences ofS _n characters which involve Young’s rule, the latter asymptotics were obtained earlier [1] by a different method. Equating the two asymptotics, we obtain equations between multi-integrals which involve Gaussian measures. Special cases here give certain extensions of the Mehta integral [5], [6].

Asymptotics of a family of binomial sums

Using a recent method of Pemantle and Wilson, we study the asymptotics of a family of combinatorial sums that involve products of two binomial coefficients and include both alternating and non-alternating sums. With the exception of finitely many cases the main terms are obtained explicitly, while the existence of a complete asymptotic expansion is established. A recent method by Flajolet and Sedgewick is used to establish the existence of a full asymptotic expansion for the remaining cases, and the main terms are again obtained explicitly. Among several specific examples we consider generalizations of the central Delannoy numbers and their alternating analogues.     

A class of infinite sums and integrals

In this paper closed-form sums are given for various slowly-convergent infinite series which arise essentially from the differentiation of Dirichlet -series. Some associated integrations are also considered. A small number of the results appear in standard tables, but most seem to be new.

     

Asymptotics for dependent sums of random vectors

We consider sequences of length m of n‐tuples each with k nonzero entries chosen randomly from an Abelian group or finite field. For what values of m does there exist a subsequence which is zero‐sum or linearly dependent, respectively? We report some results relating to these problems. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
