Let \begin{equation} G := \biguplus_{p \geq 0} \: \biguplus_{q \geq 0} G(p, q) \end{equation} be a bigraded set of generators and $\mathcal{F}(G)$ be the free PRO generated by $G$ …

In work of mine recently, I have come to investigate generalised recurrence relations. The generalisation I have in mind is where, instead of natural numbers or integers, the recu …

Suppose we have a initial segment $x_1,\ldots,x_N$ (for reasonably large $N$) of a sequence of natural numbers $(x_i)$. We have reason to believe the generating function $\sum_{i=0 …

A few years ago I first read about the marvelous Euler identity: $\sum_{n\in\mathbb{N}}p(n)z^n=\prod_{k\geq1}\frac{1}{1-z^k}$, where $p(n)$ is the number of partitions of $n$ ($p …

Description I my work, I met fixed-point functional equations of a very specific form. Since I am not expert in the domain of functional equations, I have not pushed the study of …

Suppose $x_i, y_i \in \mathbb{R}^n$, and $F,G: \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. $$F(x, y) = \frac{x\circ Ay}{x^TAy}$$ $$G(x, y) = \frac{x\circ By}{x^TBy}$$ where …

Many different types of operads have emerged in recent years (symmetric, shuffle, cyclic, anticyclic, coloured, etc.). I would like, for any of these, list the following data: D …

In a calculation of the hitting time for a Bernoulli random walk we have to calculate the hitting time $\tau(1)=\inf\{n\ge 0:S_n=1\}$ to reach $+1$ and the generating function has …

If we set $\exp(x)=\sum x^k/k!$, then $\exp(x+y)=\exp(x)\cdot \exp(y)$. In terms of coefficients it means that $(x+y)^n=\sum \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} x^ky^{n-k}$, i.e. just binomial exp …

scribd.com/doc/87930409/18/Leads-for-tied-down-random-walk [Theorem 3.7, page 38] Could you explain me the last equality in the proof? I mean this: $$\frac{2[\sqrt{1 - s^2t^2} - …

Let $ s_{\lambda} $ be the schur function associated to the partition $ \lambda $. Cauchy's identity (as in Macdonald) states that $$ \sum_{\lambda} s_{\lambda}(X)s_{\lambda}(Y) …

Hello, I'm relatively new to this forum so apologies if I have tagged my question incorrectly. I have been in contact with a wildlife biologist recently concerning counting eleph …

I am interested in obtaining an analog of the Lagrange inversion formula, starting from a generalization of the implicit equation. Ordinary Lagrange reversion, as I am familiar wit …

I'd like to gather information and references on the following functional equation for power series $$f(f(x))=x+f(x)^2,$$$$f(x)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k x^k$$ (so $c_0=0$ is imposed) …

Given a formal power series $f(x,y)=\sum_{n,m\ge 0}f(n,m)\: x^n y^m$ in two variables $x$ and $y$ over some field of characteristic zero, e.g. the field of complex numbers $\mathbb …
