The Period Of The Coefficients Of The Gaussian Polynomial[N+33], Arturo J. Martinez
The Period Of The Coefficients Of The Gaussian Polynomial[N+33], Arturo J. Martinez
Theses and Dissertations
Definition 1. For any N, the central coefficient(s) of [N+33] is denoted by C0(N) and the coefficient that is x ''away" from the central coefficient(s) of [N+33] is denoted by Cx(N).
In [1] the following result is proved:
Theorem 2. The central coefficient(s) of the Gaussian polynomial [N+33] are described by the generating function
[Special characters omitted]
This generating function has period 4.
The main goal of this thesis is to generalize Theorem 0.2 by way of proving the following conjecture:
Conjecture 3. For any x the …
Combinatorial And Asymptotic Statistical Properties Of Partitions And Unimodal Sequences, Walter Mcfarland Bridges
Combinatorial And Asymptotic Statistical Properties Of Partitions And Unimodal Sequences, Walter Mcfarland Bridges
LSU Doctoral Dissertations
Our main results are asymptotic zero-one laws satisfied by the diagrams of unimodal sequences of positive integers. These diagrams consist of columns of squares in the plane; the upper boundary is called the shape. For various types of unimodal sequences, we show that, as the number of squares tends to infinity, 100% of shapes are near a certain curve---that is, there is a single limit shape. Similar phenomena have been well-studied for integer partitions, but several technical difficulties arise in the extension of such asymptotic statistical laws to unimodal sequences. We develop a widely applicable method for obtaining these limit …
