In this paper, we introduce and develop the notion of spanning of integers along functions $f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We apply this method to a class of problems that requires to determine if the equations of the form…
The average value of log s(n)/n taken over the first N even integers is shown to converge to a constant lambda when N tends to infinity; moreover, the value of this constant is approximated and proven to be less than 0. Here s(n) sums the…
The paper studies the rate of convergence of the weak Euler approximation for solutions to possibly completely degenerate SDEs driven by Levy processes, with Hoelder-continuous coefficients. It investigates the dependence of the rate on the…
Estimation of covariance matrices or their inverses plays a central role in many statistical methods. For these methods to work reliably, estimated matrices must not only be invertible but also well-conditioned. In this paper we present an…
The classical Mertens' formula states that $ \prod_{p\le N}\big(1-\frac1p)^{-1}\sim e^\gamma\log N, $ where the product is over all primes $p$ less than or equal to $N$, and $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. By the Euler product…
We present the singular Euler--Maclaurin expansion, a new method for the efficient computation of large singular sums that appear in long-range interacting systems in condensed matter and quantum physics. In contrast to the traditional…
Corollary 2, Entry 9, Chapter 4 of Ramanujan's first notebook claims that a certain sum is asymptotic to ln(x) + gamma, where x is a real variable in the sum and gamma is Euler's constant. Ramanujan's claim is known to be correct for the…
We study the temporal-spatial regularity properties of tamed Euler approximations for L\'evy-driven SDEs with superlinearly growing drift and diffusion coefficients. We first introduce a novel tamed Euler-type scheme and establish its…
We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…
This work focuses on the numerical approximations of neutral stochastic delay differential equations with their drift and diffusion coefficients growing super-linearly with respect to both delay variables and state variables. Under…
The generalized hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ are defined by means of the multiple harmonic numbers. We show that the hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ satisfy certain recurrence relation which allow us to write them in terms of…
In \cite{n-p-noncentral}, Nourdin and Peccati established a neat characterization of Gamma approximation on a fixed Wiener chaos in terms of convergence of only the third and fourth cumulants. In this paper, we provide an optimal rate of…
Asymptotic approximations ($n \to \infty$) to the truncation errors $r_n = - \sum_{\nu=0}^{\infty} a_{\nu}$ of infinite series $\sum_{\nu=0}^{\infty} a_{\nu}$ for special functions are constructed by solving a system of linear equations.…
We consider the problem of the discrete-time approximation of the solution of a one-dimensional SDE with piecewise locally Lipschitz drift and continuous diffusion coefficients with polynomial growth. In this paper, we study the strong…
We establish a general theory of optimal strong error estimation for numerical approximations of a second-order parabolic stochastic partial differential equation with monotone drift driven by a multiplicative infinite-dimensional Wiener…
Slowly convergent series and sequences as well as divergent series occur quite frequently in the mathematical treatment of scientific problems. In this report, a large number of mainly nonlinear sequence transformations for the acceleration…
We derive hypergeometric formulas for Euler's constant, gamma. A "by-product" of Thomae's transformation is an infinite product for e^gamma involving the binomial coefficients. Alternate, non-hypergeometric proofs use a double integral for…
Exactification is the process of obtaining exact values of a function from its complete asymptotic expansion. Here Stirling's approximation for the logarithm of the gamma function or $\ln \Gamma(z)$ is derived completely whereby it is…
We generalize the classical Olivier's theorem which says that for any convergent series $\sum_n a_n$ with positive nonincreasing real terms the sequence $(n a_n)$ tends to zero. Our results encompass many known generalizations of Olivier's…
In the Einstein--Gauss--Bonnet (EGB) gravity models, the slow-roll approximation has been extended by taking into account the first-order slow-roll parameter $\delta_1 =-2\,H^2\,\xi^\prime/U_0$, which is proportional to the first derivative…
