We study a new kind of symmetric polynomials P_n(x_1,...,x_m) degree n in m real variables, which have arisen the theory numerical semigroups. establish their basic properties and find representation through power sums E_k=\sum_{j=1}^m x_j^k. observe visual similarity between normalized P_n(x_1,...,x_m)/\chi_m, where \chi_m=\prod_{j=1}^m x_j, polynomial part partition function W(s,{d_1,...,d_m}...

In this note we prove an explicit binomial formula for Jack polynomials and discuss some applications of it. 1. Jack polynomials ([M,St]). In this note we use the parameter θ = 1/α inverse to the standard parameter α for Jack polynomials. Jack symmetric polynomials Pλ(x1, . . . , xn; θ) are eigenfunctions of Sekiguchi differential operators D(u; θ) = V (x) det [

This publication is an exercise which extends to two variables the Christoffel’s construction of orthogonal polynomials for potentials of one variable with external sources. We generalize the construction to biorthogonal polynomials. We also introduce generalized Schur polynomials as a set of orthogonal, symmetric, non homogeneous polynomials of several variables, attached to Young tableaux.

This paper presents a construction for symmetric, non-negative polynomials, which are not sums of squares. It explicitly generalizes the Motzkin polynomial and the Robinson polynomials to families of non-negative polynomials, which are not sums of squares. The degrees of the resulting polynomials can be chosen in advance. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 12Y05, 20C30, 12D10, 26C10, 12E10

We prove that the subset of quasisymmetric polynomials conjectured by Bergeron and Reutenauer to be a basis for the coinvariant space of quasisymmetric polynomials is indeed a basis. This provides the first constructive proof of the Garsia–Wallach result stating that quasisymmetric polynomials form a free module over symmetric polynomials and that the dimension of this module is n!.
