It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…

The paper presents a new formula for the fractional integration, which generalizes the Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard fractional integrals into a single form, which when a parameter fixed at different values, produces the above integrals as…
We study discrete (duality) symmetries of functional determinants. An exact transformation of the effective action under the inversion of background fields $\beta (x) \to \beta^{-1}(x)$ is found. We show that in many cases this inversion…

Discrete Green's functions are the inverses or pseudo-inverses of combinatorial Laplacians. We present compact formulas for discrete Green's functions, in terms of the eigensystems of corresponding Laplacians, for products of regular graphs…
Many different types of fractional calculus have been defined, which may be categorised into broad classes according to their properties and behaviours. Two types that have been much studied in the literature are the Hadamard-type…
Contour integration is a crucial technique in many numeric methods of interest in physics ranging from differentiation to evaluating functions of matrices. It is often important to determine whether a given contour contains any poles or…
