The term Gibbons conjecture is widely used in connection with symmetry results for the Allen-Cahn equation. However, its origin is less transparent than its frequent citation suggests. In this note, we revisit its emergence, tracing it to a…

This paper gives a structural explanation for the Z-relation by modelling pitch-class sets as complete weighted graphs and encoding their interval content in a composition of $n$ via an additivity rule. We introduce the realization number…

This article explores several fundamental aspects of fuzzy $\mathscr{F}$-metric spaces and their applications in mathematical analysis. We investigate some essential properties concerning compactness and total boundedness in fuzzy…

In this article, it is proved that the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function must lie on the critical line, known as the Riemann hypothesis.

In one of his posthumous papers, conserved in G\"ottingen, Riemann considers the derivatives of $\log\zeta(s)$ at the point $1/2$, giving explicit values for them. Around 2010 we shared Riemann's value of the second derivative with some…

We develop a unified analytical and dynamical framework for the qualitative study of the one-parameter family of generalized Dirichlet eta functions $\eta_{a}(t)=\sum_{m\ge0}(-1)^{m}(am+1)^{-t}$, $a>0$, $t>0$, which includes the classical…

We extend a property of Mazzola's theory of cadential sets in relation to the modulation between minor and major tonalities from triadic to tetradic harmony, using the PLRQ group of Cannas et al. (2017) as the analogue of the classical PLR…

In this paper, we explore the connections between Christiaan Huygens and Niels Henrik Abel through the tautochrone problem. The problem -- determining the curve along which a particle descends under gravity in the same time, regardless of…

In this article we solve the Cauchy problem for the relaxation equation posed in a framework of variable order fractional calculus. After introducing some general mathematical theory we establish concepts of Scarpi derivative and transition…

The graph Fourier transform (GFT) is a fundamental tool in graph signal processing and has recently been extended to the graph fractional Fourier transform (GFRFT). Existing sampling methods in the GFRFT domain are primarily designed to…

For $p,q\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$, we investigate the family of improper integrals \[\int_0^\infty\frac{(\cos\alpha x-\cos\beta x)^p}{x^q}dx.\] We establish a complete classification of the parameter ranges $(p, q;…

This is an incomplete attempt to show that the upper bound of $\lesssim n^\frac{4}{3}$ on the number unit distances determined by a large finite set of $n$ points in the plane is not sharp. The methods also say something about sets of $n$…

We study equivariant perfect matchings on the Boolean hypercube $\B^6$ under the Klein four-group $K_4 = \langle \comp, \rev \rangle$ generated by bitwise complement and reversal. Among matchings using only $\comp$ or $\rev$ pairings, there…

This paper discusses digital online mathematics examinations -- a discussion ranging from high school to university level examinations. In particular, we consider the nature of mathematical writing, what is distinctive about mathematical…

We trace a conceptual genealogy from Abraham de Moivre's derivation of the normal curve (1733) to the modern distributional approach to statistics. De Moivre's Approximatio ad Summam Terminorum Binomii gave the first systematic derivation…

This note studies a concrete bitwise and triangular coordinate model for the central product of n copies of the quaternion group Q8. The positive basis elements are words of length n in the alphabet {1, 2, 4, 7}, identified with i, j, k,…

The prime numbers and the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are globally linked by the explicit formula of analytic number theory. Whether they share a hidden, scale-by-scale geometric symmetry has remained unexplored. We…

This paper investigates a class of deterministic fractals whose construction is governed by arithmetic sequences. We introduce the essential fractal prime set P_{ess} , a variant of the Cantor set constructed using the sequence of prime…

We introduce a novel deterministic fractal set PF in the unit interval whose construction is driven by the sequence of prime numbers modulo 16. At each step of the recursive construction, two subintervals are retained based on the residues…

This paper presents a path to proving the Four-Color Theorem that differs from the traditional "reducible configuration" method. By introducing concepts such as "outer boundary," "primitive set," "Property A," "knot," "valid pair group,"…
