In this paper we established a new Simpson type conformable fractional integral equality for convex functions. Based on this identity, some results related to Simpson-like type inequalities are obtained. These results are then applied to…
We consider the problem of estimating a function $s$ on $[-1,1]^{k}$ for large values of $k$ by looking for some best approximation by composite functions of the form $g\circ u$. Our solution is based on model selection and leads to a very…
In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions are deduced for the close-to-convexity of some special combinations of Bessel functions of the first kind and their derivatives by using a result of Shah and Trimble about transcendental…
The paper treats density measures as typical examples of finitely additive measures in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study their structure and derive basic properties. In addition, estimates for related integrals are provided. The results are applied…
We introduce quasi-Monte Carlo rules for the numerical integration of functions $f$ defined on $[0,1]^s$, $s \ge 1$, which satisfy the following properties: the Fourier-, Fourier cosine- or Walsh coefficients of $f$ are absolutely summable…
Recently Koivusalo, Levesley, Ward and Zhang introduced the set of simultaneously $\Phi$-badly approximable real vectors of $\mathbb{R}^m$ with respect to an approximation function $\Phi$, and determined its Hausdorff dimension for the…
We embark in a program of studying the problem of better approximating surfaces by triangulations(triangular meshes) by considering the approximating triangulations as finite metric spaces and the target smooth surface as their…
The Jeffreys divergence is a renown symmetrization of the oriented Kullback-Leibler divergence broadly used in information sciences. Since the Jeffreys divergence between Gaussian mixture models is not available in closed-form, various…
Renyi's "thinning" operation on a discrete random variable is a natural discrete analog of the scaling operation for continuous random variables. The properties of thinning are investigated in an information-theoretic context, especially in…
For $f$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove convergence in distribution of the appropriately normalised partial sums \[ \frac{{(\log \log x)}^{1/4}}{\sqrt{x}} \sum_{\substack{n \leq x \\ P(n) > \sqrt{x}}} f(n), \] where…
In a work of Heath-Brown, it is proved that in the Pilz divisor problem, the normalized error term $\Delta_3(x)$ has a distribution function. In this paper, we prove an analogue of this result in the setting of GL(3). For a given self-dual…
We consider $O(N)$ $g\varphi^4$ theory with the coupling $g$ being large, and calculate shear viscosity to entropy density ratio ($\eta/s$). The final result for $\eta/s$ has a form remarkably similar to that obtained from string theory…
We develop the geometry of Hurwitz continued fractions, a major tool in understanding the approximation properties of complex numbers by ratios of Gaussian integers. Based on a thorough study of the geometric properties of Hurwitz continued…
In this investigation our main aim is to determine the radius of uniform convexity of the some normalized q-Bessel and Wright functions. Here we consider six different normalized forms of q-Bessel functions, while we apply three different…
Let $N$ be a large prime and let $c > 1/4$. We prove that if $f$ is a $\pm 1$-valued completely multiplicative function, such that the exponential sums $$ S_f(a) := \sum_{1 \leq n < N} f(n) e(na/N), \quad a \pmod{N} $$ satisfy the ``Gauss…
Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be open and convex. We show that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. In doing so we…
The generalised eigenvalues for a pair of $N\times N$ matrices $(X_1,X_2)$ are defined as the solutions of the equation $\det (X_1-\lambda X_2)=0$, or equivalently, for $X_2$ invertible, as the eigenvalues of $X_2^{-1}X_1$. We consider…
We offer further results on a general size-biased distribution related to the Riemann xi-function we presented in [9] using the work of Ferrar. Curious properties associated with its expected value are presented, which are related to…
We study the question of approximating a compact geodesic metric space by metric graphs satisfying a uniform upper bound on their first Betti number. We prove that, up to a suitable multiplicative constant, Reeb graphs of distance functions…
Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…
