In 1940 Paul Erd\H{o}s made a conjecture about the distribution of reduced residues. Here we study the distribution of $k$-tuple of reduced residues.
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the generalised exponential integral involving the Mittag-Leffler function introduced recently by Mainardi and Masina [{\it Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal.} {\bf 21} (2018) 1156--1169]. We extend the…
The main purpose of this paper is to revisit the well known potentials, called stress functions, needed in order to study the parametrizations of the stress equations, respectively provided by G.B. Airy (1863) for 2-dimensional elasticity,…
In this note, we look at some of the less explored aspects of the gamma function. We provide a new proof of Euler's reflection formula and discuss its significance in the theory of special functions. We also discuss a result of Landau…
This article was originally published in Topology 22 (1983). The present hyperTeXed redaction includes references to post-1983 results as Addenda, and corrects a few typographical errors. (See math.GT/0411115 for a more comprehensive…
The description of all solutions to the relaxed commutant lifting problem in terms of an underlying contraction, obtained earlier in joint work of the author with A.E. Frazho and M.A. Kaashoek, is transformed into a linear fractional…
Consider a reflected jump-diffusion on the positive half-line. Assume it is stochastically ordered. We apply the theory of Lyapunov functions and find explicit estimates for the rate of exponential convergence to the stationary…
We collect some applications of the variational formula established by Schr\"oder (1988) and Rue\ss (2013) for the quenched Lyapunov exponent of Brownian motion in stationary and ergodic nonnegative potential. We show for example that the…
This work deals with the large time behaviour of the spatially homogeneous Landau equation with Coulomb potential. Firstly, we obtain a bound from below of the entropy dissipation $D(f)$ by a weighted relative Fisher information of $f$ with…
The original derivation of Power Functional Theory, Schmidt and Brader, JCP 138, 214101 (2013), is reworked in some detail with a view to clarifying and simplifying the logic and making explicit the various functional dependencies. We note…

An anecdotal account of the author's role in the origins of lattice gauge theory, prepared for delivery on the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of "Confinement of Quarks" [Phys. Rev. D10 (1974) 2445].
F. Rohrlich has recently published two papers, including the paper under review, advocating a particular delay-differential equation as an approximate equation of motion for classical charged particles, which he characterizes as providing a…
Building on the classical work of C\'{o}rdoba--Fefferman and the recent work of Schippa, we establish $L^4$ reverse square function estimates for functions whose Fourier support is contained in a $\delta$-neighborhood of the curve…
In this short note we give counterexamples to several results related to extension theorems published recently.
Ormerod and Mounfield analysed GDP data of 17 leading capitalist economies from 1870 to 1994 and concluded that the frequency of the duration of recessions is consistent with a power-law. But in fact the data is consistent with an…
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox was enunciated in 1935 and since then it has made a lot of ink flow. Being a subtle result, it has also been largely misunderstood. Indeed, if questioned about its solution, many physicists will…
We introduce a notion of a length function exponentially distorted on a (compactly generated) subgroup of a locally compact group. We prove that for a connected linear complex Lie group there is a maximum equivalence class of length…
In this paper, we investigate two variations on the so-called persistence problem of Sloane: the shifted version, which was introduced by Wagstaff; and the nonzero version, proposed by Erd\H{o}s. We explore connections between these…
We consider Markovian dynamics modeling open mesoscopic systems which are driven away from detailed balance by a nonconservative force. A systematic expansion is obtained of the stationary distribution around an equilibrium reference, in…
