New form of Fermat's principle for light propagation in arbitrary (i.e. in general neither static nor stationary) gravitational field is proposed. It is based on Herglotz extension of canonical formalism and simple relation between the…
This paper reviews the current state of the art of the mean value theorem due to Thomas M. Flett. We present the results with detailed proofs and provide many new proofs of known results. Moreover, some new observations and yet unpublished…
In the paper a new class of exact localized solutions of Dirac's equation in the field of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and a constant magnetic field is presented. These solutions possess unusual properties and are applicable…
We present the only proof of Pierre Fermat by descente infinie that is known to exist today. As the text of its Latin original requires active mathematical interpretation, it is more a proof sketch than a proper mathematical proof. We…
The linearization of a quadratic form gives rise to a Clifford algebra structure, as seen in Dirac's factorization of the d'Alembert operator. A similar structure known as a generalized Clifford algebra arises from the continuation of this…

In this paper, we begin by introducing a well-known geometry concept: the Fermat point in a triangle. Then, we generalize the problem and propose an iterative algorithm based on gradient descent to the weighted form in Lp space. We also…
Wiles' proof of Fermat's last theorem initiated a powerful new approach towards the resolution of certain Diophantine equations over $\mathbb{Q}$. Numerous novel obstacles arise when extending this approach to the resolution of Diophantine…
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (FTA) asserts that every complex polynomial has as many complex roots, counted with multiplicities, as its degree. A probabilistic analogue of this theorem for real roots of real polynomials, sometimes…
The Fermat principle is advocated to be a convenient tool to analyze the light propagation in a curved space time. It is shown that in the weak deflection regime the light ray trajectories can be systematically described by applying the…
We present new estimates for sums of the divisor function, and other similar arithmetic functions, in short intervals over function fields. (When the intervals are long, one obtains a good estimate from the Riemann hypothesis.) We obtain an…
We analyse two principal approaches to the quantization of physical models worked out to date. There are the Faddeev-Popov "heuristic" approach, based on fixing a gauge in the FP path integrals formalism, and the "fundamental" approach by…
In this paper we use a general version of Fermat's principle for light rays in General Relativity and a curve shortening method to write the Morse relations for light rays joining an event with a smooth timelike curve in a Lorentzian…
The non-zero integer solution set is derived for C^n = A^n + B^n. The non-zero integer solution set for n = 2 is [C - (a + b)]^2 = 2ab. The variables a and b equal (C - A) and (C - B) respectively and are nonzero integer factors of 2M^2…
