language = {english},
abstract = {A sequence is called $C$-finite if it satisfies a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. We study sequences which satisfy a linear recurrence with $C$-finite coefficients. Recently, it was shown that such $C^2$-finite sequences satisfy similar closure properties as $C$-finite sequences. In particular, they form a difference ring. In this paper we present new techniques for performing these closure properties of $C^2$-finite sequences. These methods also allow us to derive order bounds which were not known before. Additionally, they provide more insight in the effectiveness of these computations. The results are based on the exponent lattice of algebraic numbers. We present an iterative algorithm which can be used to compute bases of such lattices.},

abstract = {We calculate the unpolarized and polarized two--loop massless off--shell operator matrix elements in QCD to $O(ep)$ in the dimensional parameter in an automated way. Here we use the method of arbitrary high Mellin moments and difference ring theory, based on integration-by-parts relations. This method also constitutes one way to compute the QCD anomalous dimensions. The presented higher order contributions to these operator matrix elements occur as building blocks in the corresponding higher order calculations upto four--loop order. All contributing quantities can be expressed in terms of harmonic sums in Mellin--$N$ space or by harmonic polylogarithms in $z$--space. We also perform comparisons to the literature. },

Error bounds for the asymptotic expansion of the partition function
Koustav Banerjee, Peter Paule, Cristian-Silviu Radu, Carsten Schneider
Technical report no. 22-13 in RISC Report Series, Research Institute for Symbolic Computation (RISC), Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria. ISSN 2791-4267 (online). September 2022. arXiv:2209.07887 [math.NT]. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 International. [doi] [pdf]@techreport{RISC6620,

title = {{Error bounds for the asymptotic expansion of the partition function}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Asymptotic study on the partition function $p(n)$ began with the work of Hardy and Ramanujan. Later Rademacher obtained a convergent series for $p(n)$ and an error bound was given by Lehmer. Despite having this, a full asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ with an explicit error bound is not known. Recently O'Sullivan studied the asymptotic expansion of $p^{k}(n)$-partitions into $k$th powers, initiated by Wright, and consequently obtained an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ along with a concise description of the coefficients involved in the expansion but without any estimation of the error term. Here we consider a detailed and comprehensive analysis on an estimation of the error term obtained by truncating the asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ at any positive integer $n$. This gives rise to an infinite family of inequalities for $p(n)$ which finally answers to a question proposed by Chen. Our error term estimation predominantly relies on applications of algorithmic methods from symbolic summation. },
