We prove a regularity result for Green's functions that are associated to elliptic second order divergence-type linear PDO's with coefficients in C^{1,\alpha}(\bar{\Omega}). Here \alpha\in (0,1) and \Omega\subset \R^n is a bounded…

The perimeter of an ellipse has no exact closed-form expression in terms of elementary functions, and numerous approximations have been proposed since the eighteenth century. Classical formulas by Fagnano, Euler, and Ramanujan, as well as…
We improve on Jarn\'{\i}k's inequality between uniform Diophantine exponent $\alpha $ and ordinary Diophantine exponent $\beta$ for a system of $ n\ge 2$ real linear forms in two integer variables. Jarn\'{\i}k (1949, 1954) proved that…
It was shown by E. Gluskin and V.D. Milman in [GAFA Lecture Notes in Math. 1807, 2003] that the classical arithmetic-geometric mean inequality can be reversed (up to a multiplicative constant) with high probability, when applied to…
In this article we continue the work from arXiv:0902.0621. In that article Eric Rains and the present author considered the limits of the elliptic beta integral as p->0 while the parameters t_r have a p-dependence of the form…
The complete elliptic integral of the first and second kind, K(k) and E(k), appear in a multitude of physics and engineering applications. Because there is no known closed-form, the exact values have to be computed numerically. Here,…
Motivated by the work of Alzer and Richards \cite{ar}, here authors study the monotonicity and convexity properties of the function $$\Delta_{p,q} (r) = \frac{{E_{p,q}(r) - \left( {r'} \right)^p K_{p,q}(r) }}{{r^p }} - \frac{{E'_{p,q}(r) -…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove for any natural number $r$ there exist infinitely many large natural numbers $n$ such that $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log \gamma_n) > r + \Theta\sqrt{r}$ and $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log…
We study the asymptotic expansion for the Landau constants $G_n$ $$\pi G_n\sim \ln N + \gamma+4\ln 2 + \sum_{s=1}^\infty \frac {\beta_{2s}}{N^{2s}},~~n\rightarrow \infty, $$ where $N=n+3/4$, $\gamma=0.5772\cdots$ is Euler's constant, and…
We investigate the regularity of solutions to linear elliptic equations in both divergence and non-divergence forms, particularly when the principal coefficients have Dini mean oscillation. We show that if a solution $u$ to a…
In this article we consider the following generalized quasi-geostrophic equation \partial_t\theta + u\cdot\nabla \theta + \nu \Lambda^\beta \theta =0, \quad u= \Lambda^\alpha \mathcal{R}^\bot\theta, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^2, where $\nu>0$,…
We find two convergent series expansions for Legendre's first incomplete elliptic integral $F(\lambda,k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions are valid at every point of the unit square $0<\lambda,k<1$.…
Following an idea of Lin, we prove that if $A$ and $B$ be two positive operators such that $0<mI\le A\le m'I\le M'I\le B\le MI$, then \begin{equation*} {{\Phi }^{2}}\left( \frac{A+B}{2} \right)\le \frac{{{K}^{2}}\left( h \right)}{{{\left(…
We prove the general sharp mean value inequality for non-negative superharmonic functions and its corresponding rigidity, which removes the radius restriction of Schoen-Yau's classical result about this inequality. And we obtain an explicit…
We study interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations of the general form $F(D^2u)=0$ in two independent variables and without any geometric condition on $F$. By means of the…
The error of approximation of the $2\pi$-periodic sawtooth function $(\pi-x)/2$, $0\leq x<2\pi$, by its $n$-th Fourier polynomial is shown to be bounded by arccot$((2n+1)\sin(x/2))$. Related asymptotically tight inequalities with explicit…
