Introduced by Polyak in 1966, the class of strongly quasiconvex functions includes some interesting nonconvex members, like the square root of the Euclidean norm or ratios with a nonnegative strongly convex numerator and a concave and…

A new approach for integration of the initial value problem for ordinary differential equations is suggested. The algorithm is based on approximation of the solution by a system of functions that contains orthogonal exponential polynomials.

We introduce a proximal subdifferential and develop a calculus for nonsmooth functions defined on any Riemannian manifold $M$. We give several applications of this theory, concerning: 1) differentiability and geometrical properties of the…

This is a very brief overview of the ongoing research program of unification known as the octonionic theory. We highlight the quantum foundational origins for the theory, and the seven key ingredients which go into its making.

We investigate differentiability of functions defined on regions of the real quaternion field and obtain a noncommutative version of the Cauchy-Riemann conditions. Then we study the noncommutative analog of the Cauchy integral as well as…

We show that a version of the desingularization theorem of Hironaka holds for certain classes of infinitely differentiable functions (essentially, for subrings that exclude flat functions and are closed under differentiation and the…

This is the first publication in which an ill-posed Cauchy problem for a quasi- linear PDE is solved numerically by a rigorous method. More precisely, we solve the side Cauchy problem for a 1-d quasilinear parabolc equation. The key idea is…

We consider a polynomial version of the Cayley numbers. Namely, we define the ring of Cayley polynomials in terms of generators and relations in the category of alternative algebras. The ring turns out to be an octonion algebra over an…

Back in 1755, Euler explored an interesting array of numbers that now frequently appears in polynomial identities, combinatorial problems, and finite calculus, among other places. These numbers share a strong connection with well-known…

The Takagi function is a continuous non-differentiable function on [0,1] introduced by Teiji Takagi in 1903. It has since appeared in a surprising number of different mathematical contexts, including mathematical analysis, probability…

It is well known that there is an integral theorem for quaternion-valued functions analogous to Cauchys Theorem for complex-valued functions, namely Fueters Theorem. The class of quaternionic functions for which this applies are generally…

We present some classes of functions that are defined on the quaternions as solutions for a linear operator that resembles the Cauchy-Riemann conditions. Unlike the Fueter regular functions; in this case the identity function is a solution…

In 1985, physicists Dixon, Harvey, Vafa and Witten studied string theories on Calabi-Yau orbifolds (cf. [DHVW]). An interesting discovery in their paper was the prediction that a certain physicist's Euler number of the orbifold must be…

In the article random functions in modules over the octonion algebra and Cayley-Dickson algebras are investigated. For their study transition measures with values in the octonion algebra and Cayley-Dickson algebras are used. Stochastic…

Using octonions, more specifically, using a 4 x 4 matrix representation of octonions obtained with the help of algebraic properties of quaternions, we obtain the fully symmetric Maxwell's equations (Maxwell's equations with electric and…

In 1934, Whitney raised the question of how to recognize whether a function f defined on a closed subset X of Euclidean space is the restriction of a function that is continuously differentiable to order p. A necessary and sufficient…

The concepts of amenable and compatible functions have been introduced in a recent work, in order to state precise mathematical theorems that guarantee that a backward stable algorithm is also forward stable, and that the composition of two…

We list some explicit calculations related to a theorem of Clausen originally published in 1828, more commonly known as the result that describes the linear third order differential equation satisfied by the squares and the product of any…

We define a special matrix multiplication among a special subset of $2N\x 2N$ matrices, and study the resulting (non-associative) algebras and their subalgebras. We derive the conditions under which these algebras become alternative…

The classical nonlinear oscillator, proposed by Mathews and Lakshmanan in 1974 and including a position-dependent mass in the kinetic energy term, is generalized in two different ways by adding an extra term to the potential. The solutions…
