The proposed system of integer functions is logically fully independent from the traditional mathematical analysis of the real functions, but there is a well-defined mutual correspondence between the two disciplines. The system of integer…

We determine continuous bijections $f$, acting on a real interval into itself, whose $k$-fold iterate is the quasi-arithmetic mean of all its subsequent iterates from $f^0$ up to $f^n$ (where $0\le k\le n$). Namely, we prove that if at most…

An integer--valued function is an entire function which maps the nonnegative integers $\mathbb N$ to the integers. An example is $2^z$. A Hurwitz function is an entire function having all derivatives taking integer values at $0$. An example…

Let M(f) denote the Midpoint Rule and T(f) the Trapezoidal Rule for estimating integral_a^b f(x) dx. Then Simpson's Rule = tM(f) + (1-t)T(f), where t = 2/3. We generalize Simpson's Rule to multiple integrals as follows. Let D be some…

Given a function f: [a,b] -> R, if f(a) < 0 and f(b)> 0 and f is continuous, the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that f has a root in [a,b]. Moreover, given a value-oracle for f, an approximate root of f can be computed using the…
