We propose a novel foundation for calculus that focuses on the notion of approximations while avoiding the use of limits altogether. Continuity is defined as approximation at a point, while differentiability is defined as approximation with…
We return to Takagi's variational principle, generalized after forty years to two complex variables by Pfister. Both isolating some extremal rational functions associated to a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk, respectively the…
In the present paper, we provide five counterexamples to show directly the Jumarie's formulae are not true for non-differentiable continuous functions.
We consider Weierstra\ss\ and Takagi-van der Waerden functions with critical degree of roughness. In this case, the functions have vanishing $p^{\text{th}}$ variation for all $p>1$ but are also nowhere differentiable and hence not of…
The Riemann theta function is a complex-valued function of g complex variables. It appears in the construction of many (quasi-) periodic solutions of various equations of mathematical physics. In this paper, algorithms for its computation…
We define a family of $C^1$ functions which we call "nowhere coexpanding functions" that is closed under composition and includes all $C^3$ functions with non-positive Schwarzian derivative. We establish results on the number and nature of…
A new method for approximating fractional derivatives of the Gaussian function and Dawson's integral are presented. Unlike previous approaches, which are dominantly based on some discretization of Riemann-Liouville integral using polynomial…
The fractional calculus of variations is now a subject under strong research. Different definitions for fractional derivatives and integrals are used, depending on the purpose under study. In this paper the fractional operators are defined…
Weierstrass's everywhere continuous but nowhere differentiable function is shown to be locally continuously fractionally differentiable everywhere for all orders below the `critical order' 2-s and not so for orders between 2-s and 1, where…
A new integral identity for functions with continuous second partial derivatives is derived. It is shown that the value of any function f(r,t) at position r and time t is completely determined by its previous values at all other locations…
It is shown that that for every Darboux function $F$ there is a non-constant continuous function $f$ such that $F+f$ is still Darboux. It is shown to be consistent --- the model used is iterated Sacks forcing --- that for every Darboux…
We show that there exists an entire function which has neither fixed points nor invariant Baker domains. The question whether such a function exists was raised by Buff.
An integral formula is developed which applies to an essentially arbitrary function. An application is made to the Riemann zeta function.
We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…
We show that there exists an entire function without finite asymptotic values for which the associated Newton function tends to infinity in some invariant domain. The question whether such a function exists had been raised by Douady.
We prove a discrete approximation of functionals with jumps and creases.
We prove an analogue of the Ikehara theorem for positive non-increasing functions convergent to zero, generalising the results postulated in Diekmann, Kaper (1978, Nonlinear Anal. 2(6), 721--737) and Carr, Chmaj (2004, Proc. AMS 132(8),…
We consider non oscillatory functions and prove an everywhere Fourier Inversion Theorem for functions of very moderate decrease. The proofs rely on some ideas in nonstandard analysis.
For non-anticipative functionals, differentiable in Chitashvili's sense, the It\^o formula for cadlag semimartingales is proved. Relations between different notions of functional derivatives are established.
We consider distributions on $\mathbb{R}$ that can be written as the sum of a non-zero discrete distribution and an absolutely continuous distribution. We show that such a distribution is quasi-infinitely divisible if and only if its…
