Closed formula for Hermite polynomials
Hermite polynomials $H_k(x), x \in \mathbb{R}, k \in \mathbb{N}$ are defined by the formula
$$
H_k(x)=(-1)^k e^{x^2} \frac{d^k}{d x^k}\left(e^{-x^2}\right) .
$$
Each $H_k(x)$ is a polynomial of exact ...

A multi-variable "Fibonacci polynomial"?
There is a tremendous literature on the Fibonacci sequence, including its polynomial analogue $F_{-1}=0, F_0=1$ and
$$F_n(x)=xF_{n-1}(x)+F_{n-2} \qquad \text{for $n\geq1$}.$$
What I have found is the ...

Parameter independence of Stanley's "content formula". Why?
For a cell $\square$ in the Young diagram of a partition $\lambda$, let $h_{\square}$ and $c_{\square}$ denote the hook length and content of $\square$, respectively.
R. Stanley remarked following ...

Generating function for parity in hooks
Let $\lambda\vdash n$ denote an integer partition of $n$ and $\frak{H}_{\lambda}$ be the multiset of hook lengths of $\lambda$. Further, let $o(\lambda)=\#$ of odd entries and $e(\lambda)=\#$ of even ...
