Abstract We derive eight identities of symmetry in three variables related to generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and generalized twisted power sums, both of which are twisted by ramified roots of unity. All of these are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in two variables. The derivations of identities are based on the p-adic integral expression of the generating function for the generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and the quotient of p-adic integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the generalized twisted power sums.

Abstract In this paper, we consider a polynomial generalization, denoted by $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k), of the restricted Stirling numbers of the first and second kind, which reduces to these numbers when a = 1 and b = 0 or when a = 0 and b = 1, respectively. If a = b = 1, then $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) gives the cardinality of the set of Lah distributions on n distinct objects in which no block has cardinality exceeding m with k blocks altogether. We derive several combinatorial properties satisfied by $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) and some additional properties in the case when a = b = 1. Our results not only generalize previous formulas found for the restricted Stirling numbers of both kinds but also yield apparently new formulas for these numbers in several cases. Finally, an exponential generating function formula is derived for $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) as well as for the associated Cauchy numbers.

Labelled Graphs

A minor-closed class of graphs is addable if each excluded minor is 2-connected. We see that such a classof labelled graphs has smooth growth; and, for the random graphRnsampled uniformly from then-vertex graphs in, the fragment not in the giant component asymptotically has a simple ‘Boltzmann Poisson distribution’. In particular, asn→ ∞ the probability thatRnis connected tends to 1/A(ρ), whereA(x) is the exponential generating function forand ρ is its radius of convergence.

Generalized Stirling Numbers

A new family of generalized Stirling and Bell numbers is introduced by considering powers $(VU)^n$ of the noncommuting variables $U,V$ satisfying $UV=VU+hV^s$. The case $s=0$ (and $h=1$) corresponds to the conventional Stirling numbers of second kind and Bell numbers. For these generalized Stirling numbers, the recursion relation is given and explicit expressions are derived. Furthermore, they are shown to be connection coefficients and a combinatorial interpretation in terms of statistics is given. It is also shown that these Stirling numbers can be interpreted as $s$-rook numbers introduced by Goldman and Haglund. For the associated generalized Bell numbers, the recursion relation as well as a closed form for the exponential generating function is derived. Furthermore, an analogue of Dobinski's formula is given for these Bell numbers.

De Bruijn

The nodes of the de Bruijn graph $B(d,3)$ consist of all strings of length $3$, taken from an alphabet of size $d$, with edges between words which are distinct substrings of a word of length $4$. We give an inductive characterization of the maximum independent sets of the de Bruijn graphs $B(d,3)$ and for the de Bruijn graph of diameter three with loops removed, for arbitrary alphabet size. We derive a recurrence relation and an exponential generating function for their number. This recurrence allows us to construct exponentially many comma-free codes of length 3 with maximal cardinality.

Minkowski Question Mark Function

AbstractThe Minkowski question mark function ?(x) arises as a real distribution of rationals in the Farey tree. We examine the generating function of moments of ?(x). It appears that the generating function is a direct dyadic analogue of period functions for Maass wave forms and it is defined in the cut plane \ (1, ∞). The exponential generating function satisfies an integral equation with kernel being the Bessel function. The solution of this integral equation leads to the definition of dyadic eigenfunctions, arising from a certain Hilbert–Schmidt operator. Finally, we describe p-adic distribution of rationals in the Stern–Brocot tree. Surprisingly, the Eisenstein series G2(z) does manifest in both real and p-adic cases.

AbstractThere is a circle of problems concerning the exponential generating function of harmonic numbers. The main results come from Cvijovic, Dattoli, Gosper and Srivastava. In this paper, we extend some of them. Namely, we give the exponential generating function of hyperharmonic numbers indexed by arithmetic progressions; in the sum several combinatorial numbers (like Stirling and Bell numbers) and the hypergeometric function appear.

We derive eight basic identities of symmetry in three variables related to generalized Euler polynomials and alternating generalized power sums. All of these are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in two variables. The derivations of identities are based on the -adic fermionic integral expression of the generating function for the generalized Euler polynomials and the quotient of integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the alternating generalized power sums.
