Abstract

We recall the definition and properties of a moment sequence and show that all real sequences whose Hankel matrices have finite rank (see definition in the sequel) satisfy a homogeneous linear equation with constant coefficients. Then we analyze the cases in which a difference equation with constant coefficients and suitably chosen initial conditions and having as an input a positive moment sequence has a solution that is a positive moment sequence. We give one general simple result and give many examples illustrating the theory. The main result states that the roots of the odd multiplicity of the characteristic equation must lie outside the support of the measure that produces the moment sequence that is in the input and the initial conditions suitably chosen.

Endpoint variation and jump inequalities for rough singular integrals

In this article, we prove weak type $(1,1)$ bounds for the variation and jump operators corresponding to the family of truncations of singular integrals with rough kernels. This resolves an open question raised by Jones, Seeger and Wright (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. (2008)). Moreover, as an immediate consequence of the variational estimate, we recover the weak type $(1,1)$ boundedness of the maximal truncation operator corresponding to singular integrals with rough kernels.

On $(p,q)$-binomial coefficient ratios for complex parameters

We prove local asymptotics for near-central complex $(p,q)$-binomial coefficient modulus ratios allowing an imaginary parameter perturbation of order $n^{-3/4}$ at a $\sqrt{n}$ length scale from the centre. Moreover, we obtain ratio asymptotics for a smaller imaginary perturbation of order $n^{-5/4}$ at the length scale $n^{3/4}$. These results were obtained by reducing the two-parameter coefficients to just one parameter, giving a branch-free logarithmic representation of the second-order ratio and, hence, uniform complex curvature asymptotics for near-central ratios.

Quartic Fourier-Laplace limits for $(p,q)$-Rogers-Szegő polynomials

We prove asymptotic formulae for $(p,q)$-Rogers--Szegő polynomials with positive real parameters when the leading quadratic term in the logarithmic expansion about the middle coefficient vanishes. For coefficient indices whose distance from $n/2$ is of order $n^{3/4}$, the coefficient ratios have a quadratic--quartic exponential limit. A uniform bound valid for all indices allows the ratios to be summed and gives locally uniform convergence of the centred and normalised generating polynomials to a Fourier--Laplace integral. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the sum of the coefficients, convergence of all rescaled moments, weak convergence of the normalised coefficient measures, and convergence with multiplicity of the zeros near $w=1$ for which $n^{3/4}\log w$ remains bounded.
