There is a substantial curricular overlap between calculus and physics, yet introductory physics students often struggle to connect the two. We introduce a quantity-based framing of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) to help unify…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions that ensure the monotonicity, respectively the global injectivity of an operator. Further, some new analytical conditions that assure the injectivity/univalence of a complex function of one…

Composite optimization problems, where the sum of a smooth and a merely lower semicontinuous function has to be minimized, are often tackled numerically by means of proximal gradient methods as soon as the lower semicontinuous part of the…

We present a new approach to solving polynomial ordinary differential equations by transforming them to linear functional equations and then solving the linear functional equations. We will focus most of our attention upon the first-order…

The concept of fractional order derivative can be found in extensive range of many different subject areas. For this reason, the concept of fractional order derivative should be examined. After giving different methods mostly used in…

In this paper, we study semilinear fractional equations $$(-\Delta)^s u(x) = f(u(x))$$ in a half-space and prove that all positive solutions are strictly increasing in the $x_n$-direction. Previous results typically require the solution $u$…

We introduce an asymmetric operator of generalised translation, define the generalised modulus of smoothness by its means, and obtain the direct and inverse theorems in approximation theory for it.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote a real, $n$-dimensional, unital, associative algebra.This paper provides an introductory exposition of calculus over $\mathcal{A}$. An $\mathcal{A}$-differentiable function is one for which the differential is…

We propose a method to construct a variety of partition identities at once. The main application is an all-moduli generalization of some of Andrews' results in [5]. The novelty is that the method constructs solutions to functional equations…

We introduce a novel integrability-preserving discretization for a broad class of differential equations with variable coefficients, encompassing both linear and nonlinear cases. The construction is achieved via a categorical approach that…

Differential calculus is not a unique way to observe polynomial equations such as $a+b=c$. We propose a way of applying difference calculus to estimate multiplicities of the roots of the polynomials $a$, $b$ and $c$ satisfying the equation…

For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…

Finite differences, as a subclass of direct methods in the calculus of variations, consist in discretizing the objective functional using appropriate approximations for derivatives that appear in the problem. This article generalizes the…

We deal with monotonic regression of multivariate functions $f: Q \to \mathbb{R}$ on a compact rectangular domain $Q$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where monotonicity is understood in a generalized sense: as isotonicity in some coordinate directions…

We study a variant of Newton's algorithm applied to under-determined systems of non-smooth equations. The notion of regularity employed in our work is based on Newton differentiability, which generalizes semi-smoothness. The classic notion…
