Verify that $$\begin{cases} I _ { n , k } = 0 & \text { if } n > k \text { or if } k - n \text { is odd } \\ I _ { n , k } = \frac { ( - 1 ) ^ { p } } { 2 ^ { n + 2 p } } \binom { n + 2 p } { n + p } & \text { if } k = n + 2 p \text { with } p \geqslant 0 \end{cases}$$
In this question, $f$ denotes the linear form defined by $\forall M \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R}), f(M) = \sum_{j=1}^n \sum_{i=j}^n m_{i,j}$, and $A$ is the matrix such that $\forall M \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{R}), f(M) = \operatorname{Tr}(AM)$. Show that $M_n = \sum_{k=1}^n \dfrac{1}{2\cos\dfrac{k\pi}{2n+1}}$.
We set for every integer $n \geqslant 0$, $$B _ { n } = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { n } S ( n , k )$$ where $S(n,k)$ denotes the number of partitions of $\llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$ into $k$ parts. Let $R$ be the radius of convergence of the power series $\sum _ { n \geqslant 0 } \frac { B _ { n } } { n ! } z ^ { n }$, and for $x \in ] - R , R [$, set $f ( x ) = \sum _ { n = 0 } ^ { + \infty } \frac { B _ { n } } { n ! } x ^ { n }$. It has been shown that $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { x } f ( x )$ for all $x \in ] - R , R [$. Deduce an expression for the function $f$ on $] - R , R [$.
We fix $n \in \mathbb { N }$. We define the linear map: $$\begin{aligned}
\Delta : \mathbb { R } [ X ] & \rightarrow \mathbb { R } [ X ] \\
P ( X ) & \mapsto P ( X + 1 ) - P ( X )
\end{aligned}$$ We define $H _ { 0 } ( X ) = 1$ and, for all $k \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * }$, $H _ { k } ( X ) = X ( X - 1 ) \cdots ( X - k + 1 )$, and $S(n,k)$ denotes the number of partitions of $\llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$ into $k$ parts. Deduce that $U _ { n } ( p ) = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { n } \frac { S ( n , k ) } { k + 1 } H _ { k + 1 } ( p + 1 )$.
Let $f$ be the function defined by $$f(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \left(\frac{1}{n+x} - \frac{1}{n}\right)$$ Let $k \in \mathbb{N}^{*}$. Calculate $f(k)$.
We denote by $n$ the integer part of $\frac{N}{2}$. For $j \in \mathbb{N}$, the polynomials $P_j$ are defined by $P_{j}(X) = \frac{1}{2^{j} j!} \frac{d^{j}}{dX^{j}}\left[(X^{2}-1)^{j}\right]$, and $g_j = \int_{-1}^{1} P_j(x)^2\,dx$. Discuss, depending on the parity of $n$, the value of $a_{N}$. We will give its explicit value.
We denote by $n$ the integer part of $\frac{N}{2}$. For $j \in \mathbb{N}$, the polynomials $P_j$ are defined by $P_{j}(X) = \frac{1}{2^{j} j!} \frac{d^{j}}{dX^{j}}\left[(X^{2}-1)^{j}\right]$. Give the explicit formula for $R_{N}$, in terms of the polynomials $P_{j}$.
The sequence $(a_n)$ is defined by $$\left\{ \begin{array} { l } a _ { 0 } = 1 \\ a _ { n } = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { n - 1 } \frac { ( - 1 ) ^ { n - k } } { ( n - k ) ! } H _ { k } \left( \frac { n + k } { 2 } - 1 \right) \quad \text { for all } n \in \mathbb { N } ^ { * } \end{array} \right.$$ Demonstrate that all moments of order $p$ of the sequence $(a _ { n })$ are zero.
We have $\pi_n(x) = \frac{\lfloor 2^n x \rfloor}{2^n}$ and $d_{n+1}(x) = 2^{n+1}(\pi_{n+1}(x) - \pi_n(x))$ for all $(x,n) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{N}$. Justify $$\forall x \in [0,1[, \forall k \in \mathbb{N}, \quad \pi_k(x) = \sum_{j=1}^{k} \frac{d_j(x)}{2^j}.$$
For every $s > 1$, let $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{+\infty} \frac{1}{n^s}$. Determine $C(s)$ such that $$\forall s \in ]1, +\infty[, \quad \sum_{k=1}^{+\infty} \frac{1}{(2k-1)^s} = C(s) \zeta(s).$$
For $j \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote by $Y_{n,j}$ the set of partitions whose first term $\alpha_1$ is less than or equal to $j$ and by $y_{n,j}$ the cardinality of $Y_{n,j}$; we set $y_{0,0} = 1$. Calculate $y_{n,1}$.
For $j \in \mathbb{N}$, we denote by $Y_{n,j}$ the set of partitions whose first term $\alpha_1$ is less than or equal to $j$ and by $y_{n,j}$ the cardinality of $Y_{n,j}$; we set $y_{0,0} = 1$. Calculate the $y_{n,j}$ for $1 \leqslant j \leqslant n \leqslant 5$ by presenting the results in the form of a table.
Compare the result of question 48 (the value of $y_{n,n}$, the number of partitions of $n$) to that of question 40 (the maximum cardinality of a set of pairwise non-similar nilpotent matrices of size $n$).
Let $f$ and $g$ be two arithmetic functions with finite abscissas of convergence. Show that if, for all $s > \max\left(A_c(f), A_c(g)\right), L_f(s) = L_g(s)$, then $f = g$.
