Families of polynomials associated to arithmetic functions [Formula: see text] are studied. The case [Formula: see text], the divisor sum, dictates the non-vanishing of the Fourier coefficients of powers of the Dedekind eta function. The polynomials [Formula: see text] are defined by [Formula: see text]-term recurrence relations. For the case that [Formula: see text] is a polynomial of degree [Formula: see text], we prove that at most a [Formula: see text] term recurrence relation is needed. For the special case [Formula: see text], we obtain explicit formulas and results.

Only one three-term recurrence relation, namely, W_{r}=2W_{r-1}-W_{r-4}, is known for the generalized Tribonacci numbers, W_r, r\in Z, defined by W_{r}=W_{r-1}+W_{r-2}+W_{r-3} and W_{-r}=W_{-r+3}-W_{-r+2}-W_{-r+1}, where W_0, W_1 and W_2 are given, arbitrary integers, not all zero. Also, only one four-term addition formula is known for these numbers, which is W_{r + s} = T_{s - 1} W_{r - 1} + (T_{s - 1} + T_{s-2} )W_r + T_s W_{r + 1}, where ({T_r})_{r\in Z} is the Tribonacci sequence, a special case of the generalized Tribonacci sequence, with W_0 = T_0 = 0 and W_1 = W_2 = T_1 = T_2 = 1. In this paper we discover three new three-term recurrence relations and two identities from which a plethora of new addition formulas for the generalized Tribonacci numbers may be discovered. We obtain a simple relation connecting the Tribonacci numbers and the Tribonacci–Lucas numbers. Finally, we derive quadratic and cubic recurrence relations for the generalized Tribonacci numbers.

In this paper, a q-analogue of r-Whitney-Lah numbers, also known as (q,r)-Whitney-Lah number, denoted by $L_{m,r} [n, k]_q$ is defined using the triangular recurrence relation. Several fundamental properties for the q-analogue are established such as vertical and horizontal recurrence relations, horizontal and exponential generating functions. Moreover, an explicit formula for (q, r)-Whitney-Lah number is derived using the concept of q-difference operator, particularly, the q-analogue of Newton’s Interpolation Formula (the umbral version of Taylor series). Furthermore, an explicit formula for the first form (q, r)-Dowling numbers is obtained which is expressed in terms of (q,r)-Whitney-Lah numbers and (q,r)-Whitney numbers of the second kind.

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate the big (p,q)-Appell polynomials. We prove an equivalance theorem satisfied by the big (p, q)-Appell polynomials. As a special case of the big (p,q)- Appell polynomials, we present the corresponding equivalence theorem, recurrence relation and difference equation for the big q-Appell polynomials. We also present the equivalence theorem, recurrence relation and differential equation for the usual Appell polynomials. Moreover, for the big (p; q)-Bernoulli polynomials and the big (p; q)-Euler polynomials, we obtain recurrence relations and difference equations. In the special case when p = 1, we obtain recurrence relations and difference equations which are satisfied by the big q-Bernoulli polynomials and the big q-Euler polynomials. In the case when p = 1 and q ? 1-, the big (p,q)-Appell polynomials reduce to the usual Appell polynomials. Therefore, the recurrence relation and the difference equation obtained for the big (p; q)-Appell polynomials coincide with the recurrence relation and differential equation satisfied by the usual Appell polynomials. In the last section, we have chosen to also point out some obvious connections between the (p; q)-analysis and the classical q-analysis, which would show rather clearly that, in most cases, the transition from a known q-result to the corresponding (p,q)-result is fairly straightforward.

In this paper we give a new family of numbers, called ??-Whitney numbers, which gives generalization of many types of Whitney numbers and Stirling numbers. Some basic properties of these numbers such as recurrence relations, explicit formulas and generating functions are given. Finally many interesting special cases are derived.

AbstractIn this paper we investigate growth properties and the zero distribution of polynomials attached to arithmetic functions g and h, where g is normalized, of moderate growth, and $$0<h(n) \le h(n+1)$$ 0 < h ( n ) ≤ h ( n + 1 ) . We put $$P_0^{g,h}(x)=1$$ P 0 g , h ( x ) = 1 and $$\begin{aligned} P_n^{g,h}(x) := \frac{x}{h(n)} \sum _{k=1}^{n} g(k) \, P_{n-k}^{g,h}(x). \end{aligned}$$ P n g , h ( x ) : = x h ( n ) ∑ k = 1 n g ( k ) P n - k g , h ( x ) . As an application we obtain the best known result on the domain of the non-vanishing of the Fourier coefficients of powers of the Dedekind $$\eta $$ η -function. Here, g is the sum of divisors and h the identity function. Kostant’s result on the representation of simple complex Lie algebras and Han’s results on the Nekrasov–Okounkov hook length formula are extended. The polynomials are related to reciprocals of Eisenstein series, Klein’s j-invariant, and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.

In this paper, we give linear relations between the Fourier coefficients of a special Hilbert modular form of half integral weight and some arithmetic functions. As a result, we have linear relations for the special [Formula: see text]-values over certain totally real number fields.

AbstractLet denote the Dedekind eta function. We use a recent productto- sum formula in conjunction with conditions for the non-representability of integers by certain ternary quadratic forms to give explicitly ten eta quotientssuch that the Fourier coefficients c(n) vanish for all positive integers n in each of infinitely many non-overlapping arithmetic progressions. For example, we show that if we have c(n) = 0 for all n in each of the arithmetic progressions

AbstractLet Sk(Γ) be the space of holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight k for the full modular group SL(z, ℤ). Let be the n-th normalized Fourier coefficients of three distinct holomorphic primitive cusp forms , and h(z) ∊ Sk3 (Γ), respectively. In this paper we study the cancellations of sums related to arithmetic functions, such as twisted by the arithmetic function λf(n).

Qualitative properties of recurrence relations with coefficients taking on both positive and negative values are difficult to obtain since mathematical tools are scarce. In this note we start from scratch and obtain a number of oscillation criteria for one such relation : $x_{n+1}-x_n+p_nx_{n-r}\le 0$.

Abstract In this paper we consider general class of distribution. Recurrence relations satisfied by the quotient moments and conditional quotient moments of lower generalized order statistics for a general class of distribution are derived. Further the results are deduced for quotient moments of order statistics and lower records and characterization of this distribution by considering the recurrence relation of conditional expectation for general class of distribution satisfied by the quotient moment of the lower generalized order statistics.
