The main purpose of part (III) is to give explicit geodesics and billiard orbits in polysquares that exhibit time-quantitative density. In many instances, we can even establish a best possible form of time-quantitative density called…

We show in detail some results, outlined in a previous paper regarding the case of Brownian motion (BM), about the distribution of the $n$th-passage time of a one-dimensional diffusion obtained by a space or time transformation of BM,…

A generalization of the Kepler's third law has been proposed by BoHua Sun for $N$-body periodic orbits in a Newtonian gravitation field. In this paper, it is shown that this formula can apply for a quantum system of $N$ self-gravitating…

We study the Cauchy problem for the $1$-d periodic fractional Schr\"odinger equation with cubic nonlinearity. In particular we prove local well-posedness in Sobolev spaces, for solutions evolving from rough initial data. In addition we show…

Covariant phase space methods are applied to the analysis of a causal diamond in 2+1-dimensional pure Einstein gravity. It is found that the reduced phase space is parametrized by a family of charges with a dual geometrical interpretation:…

The classical solvability of the initial-boundary problem for the Davey-Stewartson-II type system of equations is proved.

This article reports on some recent progresses in Bessel moments, which represent a class of Feynman diagrams in 2-dimensional quantum field theory. Many challenging mathematical problems on these Bessel moments have been formulated as a…

Quantum mechanical phases arising from a periodically varying Hamiltonian are considered. These phases are derived from the eigenvalues of a stationary, ``dressed'' Hamiltonian that is able to treat internal atomic or molecular structure in…

Using a simple transformation, we obtain much simpler forms for some series involving binomial coefficients $\binom{3n}n$ derived by Necdet Batir. New evaluations are given; and connections with Fibonacci numbers and the golden ratio are…

In this new version, we correct some typos. For the readers' convenience, we also added some footnotes and more details for certain lemmas and theorems.

The convergence of a sequence of Cauchy sequences is conjectured; which if shown to be true, would prove the Riemann hypothesis by way of LeClair and Fran\c{c}a's transcendental equation criteria.

We derive and present a collection of properties about the Steklov averages, including some results about the derivation with respect to spatial variables, and with respect to time, and a form of the fundamental theorem of the calculus.

We prove three conjectures, related to the paperfolding sequence, in a recent paper [arXiv:2005.04066] of P. Barry.

Based on various strategies and a new general doubling operator, we obtain several simple proofs of the celebrated Sharkovsky's cycle coexistence theorem. A simple non-directed graph proof which is especially suitable for a calculus course…

We establish some new constructions of the golden ratio in an arbitrary triangle using symmedians and nine-point circle.

Let $X$ be a curve over a field $k$ finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $t$ an indeterminate. We prove that, if $s$ is a section of $\pi_{1}(X)\to\operatorname{Gal}(k)$ such that the base change $s_{k(t)}$ is birationally liftable,…

Some notes and questions about the concept of time are exposed. Particular reference is given to the problem in quantum mechanics, in connection with the indeterminacy principle.

In this paper -- Part 2 of our series on discrete spacetime -- we first provide a review of the previously published Part 1 that included the first important steps in the development of a new model of discrete spacetime (DST): the Isotropic…

We study outer length billiards; our main results are as follows. We prove 3- and 4-periodic versions of the Ivrii conjecture. We show that, for every period $n\ge 3$, there exists a functional space of billiard tables that possess…

Physical (and weak) regularity conditions are used to determine and classify all the possible types of spherically symmetric dust spacetimes in general relativity. This work unifies and completes various earlier results. The junction…
