We consider the uniform asymptotic expansion for the Gauss hypergeometric function \[F(a+\epsilon\lambda,m;c+\lambda;x),\qquad \lambda\to+\infty\] for $x<1$ and positive integer $m$ when the parameter $\epsilon>1$ and the constants $a$ and…
Many statistical methods have been proposed in the last years for analyzing the spatial distribution of galaxies. Very few of them, however, can handle properly the border effects of complex observational sample volumes. In this paper, we…
The theoretical computing of special values assumed by the hypergeometric functions has a high interest not only on its own, but also in sight of the remarkable implications to both pure Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. Accordingly, in…
A stability analysis of a spherically symmetric star in scalar-tensor theories of gravity is given in terms of the frequencies of quasi-normal modes. The scalar-tensor theories have a scalar field which is related to gravitation. There is…
We introduce and study a new class of generalized convex functions termed star quasiconvex functions. This class includes convex, star-convex, quasiconvex, quasar-convex, and positively homogeneous functions of any degree $p>0$ as special…
In this paper, we revisit the A-twisted gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs) whose geometric phases are complex K\"ahler supermanifolds. For abelian models without superpotentials we propose an explicit orbifold description of the…
Recurrences for positive definite functions in terms of the space dimension have been used in several fields of applications. Such recurrences typically relate to properties of the system of special functions characterizing the geometry of…
We present a new approach to measure the shapes of galaxies, a fundamental task in observational astronomy. This approach is based on the decomposition of a galaxy image into a series of orthogonal basis functions, or `shapelets'. Our…
A starlike function $f$ is characterized by the quantity $zf'(z)/f(z)$ lying in the right half-plane. This paper deals with sharp bounds for certain symmetric Toeplitz determinants whose entries are the coefficients of the functions $f$ for…
We investigate the dependence of the local galaxy luminosity function on morphology using 5,404 galaxies from the recently enlarged Second Southern Sky Redshift Survey (SSRS2). Over the range -22 \le M_B \le -14 ($H_0 = 100 km/s/Mpc), the…
In this note we state (with minor corrections) and give an alternative proof of a very general hypergeometric transformation formula due to Slater. As an application, we obtain a new hypergeometric transformation formula for a ${}_5F_4(-1)$…
We investigate the univalency and the directional convexity of the convolution $\phi\tilde{*}f=\phi*h+\overline{\phi*g}$ of the harmonic mapping $f=h+\bar{g}$ with a mapping $\phi$ whose convolution with the mapping…
The confluent hypergeometric functions (the Kummer functions) defined by ${}_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}\ (\gamma\neq 0,-1,-2,\cdots)$, which are of many properties and great…
We define an analogue of the Baernstein star function for a meromorphic function f in several complex variables. This function is subharmonic on the upper half-plane and encodes some of the main functionals attached to f.We then…
A Finsler space is said to be geodesically reversible if each oriented geodesic can be reparametrized as a geodesic with the reverse orientation. A reversible Finsler space is geodesically reversible, but the converse need not be true. In…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) has already measured over 220,000 redshifts of nearby (z ~0.1) galaxies. It allows us to estimate fundamental cosmological parameters and to subdivide the survey into subsets according to the galaxy…
In this article, we assume that a cold charged perfect fluid is constructing a spherical relativistic star. Our purpose is the investigation of the dynamical properties of its exterior geometry, through simulating the geodesic motion of a…
The main purpose of this paper is to compute all irreducible spherical functions on $G={SL}(2,{\mathbb C})$ of arbitrary type $\delta\in \hat K$, where $K={SU}(2)$. This is accomplished by associating to a spherical function $\Phi$ on $G$ a…
(Abridged) We investigate the morphology dependence of the Tully-Fisher relation, and the expansion of the relation into a three-dimensional manifold defined by luminosity, total circular velocity and a third dynamical parameter, to fully…
We introduce new kind of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions. We show these functions satisfy congruence relations, so they are convergent functions. And we show that there is a transformation formula between our new $p$-adic hypergeometric…
