We find that the solution of the polar angular differential equation can be written as the universal associated Legendre polynomials. Its generating function is applied to obtain an analytical result for a class of interesting integrals…
In this work we determine the parameters of spiral structure for a sample of face-on spiral galaxies. In practice, the solution of this problem is a hard task because of the diversity of the observed characteristics of spiral structure,…
In STOC'95 [ADMSS'95] Arya et al. showed that any set of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$ admits a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner with hop-diameter at most 2 (respectively, 3) and $O(n \log n)$ edges (resp., $O(n \log \log n)$ edges). They also gave a…
The weighted star-discrepancy has been introduced by Sloan and Wo{\'z}niakowski to reflect the fact that in multidimensional integration problems some coordinates of a function may be more important than others. It provides upper bounds for…
This paper deals with some simple results about spherical functions of type $\delta$, namely new integral formulas, new results about behavior at infinity and some facts about the related $C_\sigma$ functions.
Recently, the $\lambda$-analogues of $r$-Stirling numbers of the first kind were studied by Kim-Kim. The aim of this paper is to introduce the $\lambda$-analogues of $r$-Stirling numbers of the second kind and to investigate some…
We evaluate the symmetric functions $e_k$, $h_k$ and $p_k$ on the alphabet $\{x_r/(1-tx_r)\}$ by elementary methods and give the related generating functions. Our formulas lead to a new and short proof of an ex-conjecture of Lassalle, which…
The anthropic explanation for the peculiarly small observed value of the cosmological constant $\Lambda_{\rm obs}$ argues that this value promotes the formation of stars, planets, and ultimately of observers such as ourselves. I show that a…
We exhibit a Finsler metric on the 2-sphere whose systolic (Holmes-Thompson) ratio is $\frac{4{\pi}}{3}$. This is bigger than the conjectured maximal Riemannian systolic ratio of $2\sqrt{3}$ achieved by the Calabi-Croke metric. The…
We describe a new formula capable of quantitatively characterizing the Hubble sequence of spiral galaxies including grand design and barred spirals. Special shapes such as ring galaxies with inward and outward arms are also described by the…
For a real number $0<\lambda<2$, we introduce a transformation $T_\lambda$ naturally associated to expansion in $\lambda$-continued fraction, for which we also give a geometrical interpretation. The symbolic coding of the orbits of…
It is believed that some numerical technique must be employed for the determination of the system parameters of a visual binary or a star with a planet because the relevant equations are not only highly nonlinear but also transcendental…
In this paper, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the generalized Bessel function to be in certain subclasses of starlike and convex functions. Also, we obtain several corollaries as special cases of the main results,…
The goal of this article is twofold. We first extend a result of Murty and Saradha \cite{MS} related to the digamma function at rational arguments. Further, we extend another result of the same authors \cite{MS1} about the nature of…
R.F.Tichy and J.Uitz introduced a one parameter family $g_{\lambda}$, $\lambda \in (0,1)$, of singular functions. When $\lambda=1/2$ the function $g_{\lambda}$ coincides with the famous Minkowski question mark function. In this paper we…
Let $h$ be a non-vanishing analytic function in the open unit disc with $h(0)=1$. Consider the class consisting of normalized analytic functions $f$ whose ratios $f(z)/g(z)$, $g(z)/z p(z)$, and $p(z)$ are each subordinate to $h$ for some…
Michelson phase and Hanbury Brown-Twiss intensity stellar interferometry require expressions for the first- and second-order correlation functions, respectively, of the fields radiated by stars in terms of their diameters and measured…
The radii of starlikeness and convexity associated with lemniscate of Bernoulli and the Janowski function, $(1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ for $-1\leq B<A\leq 1$, have been determined for normalizations of $q$-Bessel function, Bessel function of first kind…
A logarithmic spiral is a prominent feature appearing in a majority of observed galaxies. This feature has long been associated with the traditional Hubble classification scheme, but historical quotes of pitch angle of spiral galaxies have…
By considering the polynomial function $\phi_{car}(z)=1+z+z^2/2,$ we define the class $\Scar$ consisting of normalized analytic functions $f$ such that $zf'/f$ is subordinate to $\phi_{car}$ in the unit disk. The inclusion relations and…
