Power series expansion of Wilf function
Full text linkIn the research, with aid of the Faà di Bruno formula, be virtue of several identities for the Bell polynomials of the second kind, with help of two combinatorial identities, by means of the (logarithmically) complete monotonicity of generating functions of several integer sequences, and in light of the Wronski theorem, the author \begin{enumerate} \item establishes the Taylor power series expansions of several functions involving the inverse (hyperbolic) tangent function; \item finds out the Maclaurin power series expansion of the Wilf function, which is a composite of the inverse tangent, square root, and exponential functions; \item expresses the coefficients in the Maclaurin power series expansion of the Wilf function in terms of the Stirling numbers of the second kind; \item analyzes some properties, including generating functions, limits, positivity, monotonicity, and logarithmic convexity, of the coefficients in the Maclaurin power series expansion of the Wilf function; \item derives a closed-form formula for a sequence of special values of the Gauss hypergeometric function; \item discovers a closed-form formula for a sequence of special values of the Bell polynomials of the second kind; \item presents several infinite series representations of the circular constant and other sequences; \item recovers an asymptotic rational approximation to the circular constant; \item and connects several integer sequences by determinants. \end{enumerate}34 page
Dear Newfoundland, have I got to leave you
No full textAn emigrant recalls Newfoundland - the rocky mountains, hills and meadows, the happy summers - Regatta Days with the greasy pole and Wheel of Fortune. He prays other Newfoundlanders will escape the poverty caused by the "cruel taxation" and be able to remain in Newfoundland.see Peacock 1965: Vol 2: 360-61
