The function $t \mapsto E_{\alpha}(\lambda t^\alpha)$ is widely regarded as the fractional analogue of the exponential function, yet its algebraic properties remain poorly understood. In particular, standard references lack a rigorous proof…

We revisit a representation for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ expressed in terms of normalised incomplete gamma functions given by the author and S. Cang in Methods Appl. Anal. {\bf 4} (1997) 449--470. Use of the uniform asymptotics…

In this paper, we estimate the simultaneous approximation exponents of the values of certain Mahler functions. For this we construct Hermite-Pad\'{e} approximations of the functions under consideration, then apply the functional equations…

Given a regular compact set $E$ in the complex plane, a unit measure $\mu$ supported by $\partial E,$ a triangular point set $\beta := \{\{\beta_{n,k}\}_{k=1}^n\}_{n=1}^{\infty},\beta\subset \partial E$ and a function $f$, holomorphic on…

One of the very few mathematically rigorous nonlinear model reduction methods is the restriction of a dynamical system to a low-dimensional, sufficiently smooth, attracting invariant manifold. Such manifolds are usually found using local…

The paper has two relatively distinct but connected goals; the first is to define the notion of Pad\'e\ approximation of Weyl-Stiltjes transforms on an arbitrary compact Riemann surface of higher genus. The data consists of a contour in the…

In this paper, we study analogues of the van der Corput lemmas involving Mittag-Leffler functions. The generalisation is that we replace the exponential function with the Mittag-Leffler-type function, to study oscillatory type integrals…
