We establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Tur\'{a}n type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first…
Several methods for solving efficiently the one-dimensional deconvolution problem are proposed. The problem is to solve the Volterra equation ${\mathbf k} u:=\int_0^t k(t-s)u(s)ds=g(t),\quad 0\leq t\leq T$. The data, $g(t)$, are noisy. Of…
We develop a method for evaluating asymptotics of certain contour integrals that appear in Conformal Field Theory under the name of Dotsenko-Fateev integrals and which are natural generalizations of the classical hypergeometric functions.…

We present a general framework for calculating the Volterra-type convolution of polynomials from an arbitrary polynomial sequence $\{P_k(x)\}_{k \geqslant 0}$ with $\deg P_k(x) = k$. Based on this framework, series representations for the…
Asymptotic expansions are obtained for contour integrals of the form \[ \int_a^b \exp \left( - zp(t) + z^{\nu /\mu } r(t) \right)q(t)dt, \] in which $z$ is a large real or complex parameter, $p(t)$, $q(t)$ and $r(t)$ are analytic functions…
The classical transformation of Jacobi's theta function admits a simple proof by producing an integral representation that yields this invariance apparent. This idea seems to have first appeared in the work of S. Ramanujan. Several examples…

We investigate a possibility to describe the non-Debye relaxation processes using the Volterra-type equations with kernels given by the Prabhakar functions with the upper parameter $\nu$ being negative. Proposed integro-differential…
Sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Volterra integral equations of the first kind with piecewise continuous kernels are derived in framework of Sobolev-Schwartz distribution theory. The asymptotic…
Sharp upper and lower estimates are obtained of the approximation numbers of a Sobolev embedding and an integral operator of Volterra type. These lead to asymptotic formulae for the approximation numbers and certain other s-numbers.
This paper is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of sums of terms which are a test function f evaluated at successive increments of a discretely sampled semimartingale. Typically the test function is a power function (when the power is…
In this article we study properties of Ramanujan's mock theta functions that can be expressed in Lerch sums. We mainly show that each Lerch sum is actually the integral of a Jacobian theta function (here we show that for $\vartheta_3(t,q)$…
This article investigates nonparametric estimation of variance functions for functional data when the mean function is unknown. We obtain asymptotic results for the kernel estimator based on squared residuals. Similar to the finite…
In this paper we present the definitions and some properties of several Samrandache Type Functions that are involved in many solved and unsolved problems and conjectures in number theory and recreational mathematics.
The authors provide a survey of certain aspects of their joint work with the late M. K. Vamanamurthy. Most of the results are simple to state and deal with special functions, a topic of research where S. Ramanujan's contributions are…
