We examine the correspondence principle for an equiprobable superposition of high-energy eigenstates of the infinite square well using a fully analytical Fourier-based approach. We derive a closed-form asymptotic expression for the…

In this work in progress, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the $p$-quantile of the Beta distribution, i.e. the quantity $q$ defined implicitly by $\int_0^q t^{a - 1} (1 - t)^{b - 1} \text{d} t = p B (a, b)$, as a function of the first…

We introduce a new family of multiple orthogonal polynomials satisfying orthogonality conditions with respect to two weights $(w_1,w_2)$ on the positive real line, with $w_1(x)=x^\alpha e^{-x}$ the gamma density and $w_2(x) = x^\alpha…

Rational approximations of functions with singularities can converge at a root-exponential rate if the poles are exponentially clustered. We begin by reviewing this effect in minimax, least-squares, and AAA approximations on intervals and…

Exponential sums with monomials are highly related to many interesting problems in number theory and well studied by many literatures. In this paper, we consider the exponential sums with polynomials and prove a new upper bound. As an…

Given any postsingularly finite exponential function $p_\lambda(z) = \lambda \exp(z)$ where $\lambda \in \C^*$, we construct a sequence of postcritically finite unicritical polynomials $p_{d,\lambda_d}(z) = \lambda_d(1+\frac{z}{d})^d$ that…

The best uniform polynomial approximation of the checkmark function $f(x)=|x-\alpha |$ is considered, as $\alpha$ varies in $(-1,1)$. For each fixed degree $n$, the minimax error $E_n (\alpha)$ is shown to be piecewise analytic in $\alpha$.…

Let $\mathbb{R}=(-\infty,\infty)$, and let $Q\in C^1(\mathbb{R}): \mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R^+}=[0,\infty)$ be an even function, which is an exponent. We consider the weight $w_\rho(x)=|x|^{\rho} e^{-Q(x)}$, $\rho\geqslant 0$, $x\in…

We consider polynomials that are orthogonal on $[-1,1]$ with respect to a modified Jacobi weight $(1-x)^\alpha (1+x)^\beta h(x)$, with $\alpha,\beta>-1$ and $h$ real analytic and stricly positive on $[-1,1]$. We obtain full asymptotic…

We study the central limit theorem in the non-normal domain of attraction to symmetric $\alpha$-stable laws for $0<\alpha\leq2$. We show that for i.i.d. random variables $X_i$, the convergence rate in $L^\infty$ of both the densities and…

The $n$-grid $E_n$ consists of $n$ equally spaced points in $[-1,1]$ including the endpoints $\pm 1$. The extremal polynomial $p_n^*$ is the polynomial that maximizes the uniform norm $\| p \|_{[-1,1]}$ among polynomials $p$ of degree $\leq…

Minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies are studied. These relative entropies, which we term relative $\alpha$-entropies (denoted $\mathscr{I}_{\alpha}$), arise as redundancies under…

For the Dirichlet integral fractional Laplacian, we prove root exponential convergence of tensor-product $hp$-finite element approximations on $(0,1)^3$, for forcing $f$ that is analytic in $[0,1]^3$. Exploiting analytic regularity…

Let $\Lambda^{\mathbb{R}}$ denote the linear space over $\mathbb{R}$ spanned by $z^{k}$, $k \in \mathbb{Z}$. Define the real inner product (with varying exponential weights) $<\boldsymbol{\cdot},\boldsymbol{\cdot} >_{\mathscr{L}} \colon…

We prove matching direct and inverse theorems for (algebraic) polynomial approximation with doubling weights $w$ having finitely many zeros and singularities (i.e., points where $w$ becomes infinite) on an interval and not too ``rapidly…

We investigate asymptotic behavior of polynomials $p^{\omega}_n(z)$ satisfying varying non-Hermitian orthogonality relations $$ \int_{-1}^{1} x^kp^{\omega}_n(x)h(x) e^{\mathrm{i} \omega x}\mathrm{d} x =0, \quad k\in\{0,\ldots,n-1\}, $$…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

We introduce a notion of a length function exponentially distorted on a (compactly generated) subgroup of a locally compact group. We prove that for a connected linear complex Lie group there is a maximum equivalence class of length…

We present a new method that allows us to get a direct proof of the classical Bernstein asymptotics for the error of the best uniform polynomial approximation of $|x|^p$ on two symmetric intervals. Note, that in addition, we get asymptotics…
