Sheffer Polynomials and the s-ordering of Exponential Boson Operators

Robert S. Maier

The s-ordered form of any product of single-mode boson creation and annihilation operators, containing only a single annihilator, is computed explicitly. The s-ordering concept ori…

Boson Operator Ordering Identities from Generalized Stirling and Eulerian Numbers

Robert S. Maier

Ordering identities in the Weyl-Heisenberg algebra generated by single-mode boson operators are investigated. A boson string composed of creation and annihilation operators can be…

Triangular Recurrences, Generalized Eulerian Numbers, and Related Number Triangles

Robert S. Maier

Many combinatorial and other number triangles are solutions of recurrences of the Graham-Knuth-Patashnik (GKP) type. Such triangles and their defining recurrences are investigated…

Cosmological Tests with the Joint Lightcurve Analysis

Fulvio Melia, Jun-Jie Wei, Robert Maier +1

We examine whether a comparison between wCDM and R_h=ct using merged Type Ia SN catalogs produces results consistent with those based on a single homogeneous sample. Using the Beto…

Extensions of the Classical Transformations of 3F2

Robert S. Maier

It is shown that the classical quadratic and cubic transformation identities satisfied by the hypergeometric function can be extended to include additional parameter pair…

Associated Legendre Functions and Spherical Harmonics of Fractional Degree and Order

Robert S. Maier

Trigonometric formulas are derived for certain families of associated Legendre functions of fractional degree and order, for use in approximation theory. These functions are algebr…
