We describe a method of integration to obtain identities of the arctangent function and show how this method can be applied to the high-accuracy computation of the constant pi using the equation $\pi = 4 \arctan \left( 1 \right)$. Our…
A new integral representation is derived using a definite integral given by Cauchy and used to evaluate a number of integrals containing the finite series of special functions.
In the fall 2011 issue of the Journal'Mathematics and Computer Education', author Unal Hasan, in the one page article "Proof without Words", gives a purely geometric proof of the equality, arctan(1/3)+ arctan(1/7) = arctan(1/2) (1) (See…
The divergent integral $\int_a^b f(x)(x-x_0)^{-n-1}\mathrm{d}x$, for $-\infty<a<x_0<b<\infty$ and $n=0, 1, 2, \dots$, is assigned, under certain conditions, the value equal to the simple average of the contour integrals $\int_{C^{\pm}}…
We have shown recently that integration of the error function ${\rm{erf}}\left( x \right)$ represented in form of a sum of the Gaussian functions provides an asymptotic expansion series for the constant pi. In this work we derive a rational…

Let $\mathcal{T}(x,\eps)$ denote the occupation measure of an interval of length $2\eps$ centered at $x$ by the Cauchy process run until it hits $(-\infty,-1]\cup [1,\infty)$. We prove that $\sup_{|x|\leq…
This study is on Cauchy's function $f(z)$ and its integral, $J[f(z)]\equiv (2\pi i)^{-1}\oint_C f(t)dt/(t-z)$ taken along a closed simple contour $C$, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire $z=x+iy$ plane consisted of…
High-order derivatives of analytic functions are expressible as Cauchy integrals over circular contours, which can very effectively be approximated, e.g., by trapezoidal sums. Whereas analytically each radius r up to the radius of…
We study certain generalized Cauchy integral formulas for gradients of solutions to second order divergence form elliptic systems, which appeared in recent work by P. Auscher and A. Ros\'en. These are constructed through functional calculus…
We develop a linear theory of discrete complex analysis on general quad-graphs, continuing and extending previous work of Duffin, Mercat, Kenyon, Chelkak and Smirnov on discrete complex analysis on rhombic quad-graphs. Our approach based on…
Real and imaginary part of the limit 2N->infinity of the integral int_{x=1..2N} exp(i*pi*x)*x^(1/x) dx are evaluated to 20 digits with brute force methods after multiple partial integration, or combining a standard Simpson integration over…
In this paper, we study the class of one dimensional singular integrals that converge in the sense of Cauchy principal value. In addition, we present a simple method for approximating such integrals.
We consider Cauchy type integrals $I(t)={1\over 2\pi i}\int_{\gamma} {g(z)dz\over z-t}$ with $g(z)$ an algebraic function. The main goal is to give constructive (at least, in principle) conditions for $I(t)$ to be an algebraic function, a…
A new series expansion for the function (arctan(x)/x)^n is developed and some properties of the expansion coefficients are obtained.
In this short paper, I introduce an elementary method for exactly evaluating the definite integrals $\, \int_0^{\pi}{\ln{(\sin{\theta})}\,d\theta}$, $\int_0^{\pi/2}{\ln{(\sin{\theta})}\,d\theta}$,…
Let $a=(a_1,a_2,...c,a_n)$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$ be a given sequence of positive numbers. In the paper, the authors establish, by using Cauchy's integral formula in the theory of complex functions, an integral representation of the principal…
Some aspects of Cauchy integrals on sets with dimension larger than 1 are briefly discussed.
We show that for any bounded function $f:[a,b]\rightarrow{\mathbb R}$ and $\epsilon>0$ there is a partition $P$ of $[a,b]$ with respect to which the Riemann sum of $f$ using right endpoints is within $\epsilon$ of the upper Darboux sum of…
