The Jacobi polynomial has been advocated by many authors as a useful tool to evolve non-singlet structure functions to higher $Q^2$. In this work, it is found that the convergence of the polynomial sum is not absolute, as there is always a…
This report provides some closed form solutions -- and their inversion -- to a satellite's bounded motion on the equatorial plane of a spheroidal attractor (planet) considering the $J_{2}$ spherical zonal harmonic. The equatorial track of…
A level orbit of a mechanical Hamiltonian system is a solution of Newton equation that is contained in a level set of the potential energy. In 2003, Mark Levi asked for a characterization of the smooth potential energy functions on the…
The paper is concerned with the properties of the distance function from a closed subset of a Riemannian manifold, with particular attention to the set of singularities.
In our previous papers [11,13] we showed that the Hamilton-Jacobi problem can be regarded as a way to describe a given dynamics on a phase space manifold in terms of a family of dynamics on a lower-dimensional manifold. We also showed how…
Consider a $1$-dimensional centered Gaussian process $W$ with $\alpha$-H\"older continuous paths on the compact intervals of $\mathbb R_+$ ($\alpha\in ]0,1[$) and $W_0 = 0$, and $X$ the local solution in rough paths sense of Jacobi's…
By means of numerical solutions of the quantum Hamilton Jacobi equation, a general WKB-like representation for one-dimensional wave functions is obtained. This representation is unique in the classically forbidden regions, while in the…
In this paper, we study modularity of several functions which naturally arose in a recent paper of Lau and Zhou on open Gromov-Witten potentials of elliptic orbifolds. They derived a number of examples of indefinite theta functions, and we…
A function $\mathfrak{F}$ with simple and nice algebraic properties is defined on a subset of the space of complex sequences. Some special functions are expressible in terms of $\mathfrak{F}$, first of all the Bessel functions of first…
Using classical differential geometry, the problem of elastic curves and surfaces in the presence of long-range interactions $\Phi$, is posed. Starting from a variational principle, the balance of elastic forces and the corresponding…
We investigate Newton's method applied to any odd or any even elliptic function with an arbitrary period lattice. For any function of this type whose set of poles coincides with its period lattice, we show that the Julia set of its Newton…
In this paper, we investigate a transition from an elastica to a piece-wised elastica whose connected point defines the hinge angle $\phi_0$; we refer the piece-wised elastica $\Lambda_{\phi_0}$-elastica or $\Lambda$-elastica. The…
Several problems which could be thought of as belonging to recreational mathematics are described. They are all such that solutions to the problem depend on finding rational points on elliptic curves. Many of the problems considered lead to…
A rigorous \textit{ab initio} derivation of the (square of) Dirac's equation for a single particle with spin is presented. The general Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the particle expressed in terms of a background Weyl's conformal geometry is…
The canonical functional action in the path integral in phase space is discretized by linking each pair of consecutive vertebral points --${\bf q}_k$ and ${\bf p}_{k+1}$ or ${\bf p}_k$ and ${\bf q}_{k+1}$-- through the invariant complete…
We consider the algebraic form of a generalized Lame equation with five free parameters. By introducing a generalization of Jacobi's elliptic functions we transform this equation to a 1-dim time-independent Schroedinger equation with…
A liquid droplet is placed on a rotating helical fiber. We find that the droplet may slide down, attach or climb up the fiber. We inspect experimentally the domain of existence of these three behaviors as a function of the geometrical…
This paper deals with a study of the rational elliptic surfaces whose $J$-invariant functions are of degree one. Almost all of these elliptic surfaces have four singular fibers, while the remaining surfaces have only three singular fibers.…
Capillary forces acting at the surface of a liquid drop can be strong enough to deform small objects and recent studies have provided several examples of elastic instabilities induced by surface tension. We present such an example where a…
