We give a proof of the identity $\zeta(2)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi^2}6$ using the fundamental theorem of calculus and differentiation under the integral sign.

This paper is concerned mainly with the deceptively simple integral equation \[ u(x) - \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{\alpha\, u(y)}{\alpha^2+(x-y)^2} \, \rd y = 1, \quad -1 \leq x \leq 1, \] where $\alpha$ is a real non-zero parameter…

In this paper, we continue our investigation of double sums where the inner sum is binomial but incomplete. We prove many new results for these types of double sums associated with binomial transform pairs. As applications we deduce new…

We use techniques of dyadic analysis in order to prove that, for every $0<s<\tfrac{1}{2}$, there exists a positive constant $\gamma(s)$ such that the inequality $$\left(\iint_{\mathbb{R}^2}|x-y|^{2s-1}|\varphi(x)||\varphi(y)|dx…

We proceed to study a (1+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity system with a hyperbolic dilaton potential. Introducing a couple of new variables leads to two copies of Liouville equations with two constraint conditions. In particular, in conformal…

In this paper, we are concerned with a Liouville-type result of the nonlinear integral equation \begin{equation*} u(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\frac{u(1-|u|^{2})}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha}}dy, \end{equation*} where $u: \mathbb{R}^{n} \to…

We consider an integral transform given by $T_{\nu} f(s) := \pi \int_0^\infty rs J_{\nu}(r s)^2 f(r) \, dr$, where $J_{\nu}$ denotes the Bessel function of the first kind of order $\nu$. As shown by Walther (2002,…

As a sequel to [1] and [2], I present some recent progress on Bessel integrals $\int_0^{\infty}{\rmd u}\; uK_0(u)^{n}$, $\int_0^{\infty}{\rmd u}\; u^{3}K_0(u)^{n}$, ... where the power of the integration variable is odd and where $n$, the…

We introduce dilogarithm identities through a beta integral-based technique that we apply to provide analytic proofs of previously conjectured dilogarithm relations, solving open problems given by both Bytsko and Campbell, and that we…

In this article, we provide a new elementary proof of the Basel problem.

In 1769, Euler proved the following result $$ \int_0^{\frac\pi2}\log(\sin \theta) d\theta=-\frac\pi2 \log2. $$ In this paper, as a generalization, we evaluate the definite integrals $$ \int_0^x…

While investigating the properties of a galaxy model used in Stellar Dynamics, a curious integral identity was discovered. For a special value of a parameter, the identity reduces to a definite integral with a very simple symbolic value;…

In this article we are concerned with an inverse boundary value problem for a non-linear wave equation of divergence form with space dimension $n\geq 3$. In particular the so called the interior determination problem. This non-linear wave…

We consider binomial and inverse binomial sums at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi$ or $\log(2)$. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as specializations of…

In this paper we connect a celebrated theorem of Nyman and Beurling on the equivalence between the Riemann hypothesis and the density of some functional space in $ L^2(0, 1)$ to a trigonometric series considered first by Hardy and…

We consider a large class of physical fields $u$ written as double inverse Fourier transforms of some functions $F$ of two complex variables. Such integrals occur very often in practice, especially in diffraction theory. Our aim is to…

Let $I(n):=\int_0^1 [x^n+(1-x)^n]^\frac1n dx.$ In this paper, we show that $I(n)= \sum_0^\infty \frac{I_i}{n^i},n\rightarrow \infty$ and we compute $I_i, i =0..5$, obtained by polylog functions and Euler sums. As a corollary, we obtain…

For smooth mappings of the unit disc into the oriented Grassmannian manifold $\mathbb G_{n,2}$, H\'elein (2002) conjectured the global existence of Coulomb frames with bounded conformal factor provided the integral of $|\boldsymbol A|^2$,…
