We explore the probability $\nu(n,r)$ that a permutation sampled from the symmetric group of order $n!$ uniformly at random has no cycles of length exceeding $r$, where  $1\leq r\leq n$ and $n\to\infty$. Asymptotic formulas valid in specified regions for the ratio $n/r$ are obtained using the saddle-point method combined with ideas originated in analytic number theory.

The asymptotic density of random permutations with given properties of the $k$th shortest cycle length is examined. The approach is based upon the saddle point method applied for appropriate sums of independent random variables.

Hankel transform (or Fourier-Bessel transform) is a fundamental tool in many areas of mathematics and engineering, including analysis, partial differential equations, probability, analytic number theory, data analysis, etc. In this article, we prove an analog of Titchmarsh's theorem for the Hankel transform of functions satisfying the Hankel-Lipschitz condition.

We study the limiting distribution of the height in a generalized trie in which external nodes are capable to store up to $b$ items (the so called $b$-tries). We assume that such a tree is built from $n$ random strings (items) generated by an unbiased memoryless source. In this paper, we discuss the case when $b$ and $n$ are both large. We shall identify five regions of the height distribution that should be compared to three regions obtained for fixed $b$. We prove that for most $n$, the limiting distribution is concentrated at the single point $k_1=\lfloor \log_2 (n/b)\rfloor +1$ as $n,b\to \infty$. We observe that this is quite different than the height distribution for fixed $b$, in which case the limiting distribution is of an extreme value type concentrated around $(1+1/b)\log_2 n$. We derive our results by analytic methods, namely generating functions and the saddle point method. We also present some numerical verification of our results.

Often referred to as special functions or mathematical functions, the origin of many members of the remarkably vast family of higher transcendental functions can be traced back to such widespread areas as (for example) mathematical physics, analytic number theory and applied mathematical sciences. Here, in this survey-cum-expository review article, we aim at presenting a brief introductory overview and survey of some of the recent developments in the theory of several extensively studied higher transcendental functions and their potential applications. For further reading and researching by those who are interested in pursuing this subject, we have chosen to provide references to various useful monographs and textbooks on the theory and applications of higher transcendental functions. Some operators of fractional calculus, which are associated with higher transcendental functions, together with their applications, have also been considered. Many of the higher transcendental functions, especially those of the hypergeometric type, which we have investigated in this survey-cum-expository review article, are known to display a kind of symmetry in the sense that they remain invariant when the order of the numerator parameters or when the order of the denominator parameters is arbitrarily changed.
