Inductive definition of Bernstein polynomials
For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ let $B_n$ be the linear operator taking a function $f$ on the unit interval $I=[0,1]$ to its $n$-th Bernstein polynomial $B_nf$,
$$ B_nf(x):=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k} f\Big(\...

Bound on sum of complex summands involving binomial coefficients
I am trying to find the asymptotic behavior of the sum:
$$ \sum^n_{i=0} \begin{pmatrix} 2n \\ i \end{pmatrix} x^i y^{2n-i}$$
as $n\rightarrow\infty$. Here $x$, $y$ are complex numbers and I have $|x|...

Proving an exponential sum inequality for symmetric Hamming distance sequences in binary vectors
Background: Let $X = \{0,1\}^k$ represent the set of all binary vectors of length $k$. For two binary vectors $x, y \in X$, the Hamming distance $d_H(x, y)$ is defined as the number of positions where ...

the enumeration of 2 dimensional lattice walks with fixed number steps and largest distance from the end point ti the origin
There is actually an one dimensional version of this problem. For each step of the lattice walk, we can move either east for one unit or west for one unit. The problem is that given a fixed $n$ steps ...
