We provide a systematic formula, in terms of integer partitions, that generates perturbation theory explicitly at an arbitrary order. Our approach naturally includes an infinite number of perturbations and uses a single matrix equation that…
This note studies, and partially solves, 3 elementary questions about continuous rational functions on real (and p-adic) algebraic varieties: Can one restrict such a function to a subvariety? Can one extend such a function from a…
We prove that there exists an entire function for which every complex number is an asymptotic value and whose growth is arbitrarily slow subject only to the necessary condition that the function is of infinite order.
In this paper, we establish that the space $ \mathbb{P}_p $ of all periodic function of fundamental period $ p $ can be expressed as a direct sum of the space $ \mathbb{P}_{p/2} $ of all periodic functions with fundamental period $ p/2 $…
Differential operators usually result in derivatives expressed as a ratio of differentials. For all but the simplest derivatives, these ratios are typically not algebraically manipulable, but must be held together as a unit in order to…
We prove that any positive rational number is the sum of distinct unit fractions with denominators in $\{p-1 : p\textrm{ prime}\}$. The same conclusion holds for the set $\{p-h : p\textrm{ prime}\}$ for any $h\in\mathbb{Z}\backslash\{0\}$,…
These notes aim to provide a classical approach to solving some conformable differential equations based on prior knowledge of how to solve ordinary differential equations. That is, using the methods of separation of variables, homogeneous…
The existence of decompositions of the form $f=P\cdot q+r$ with $P_k^{\ast}\left( D\right) r=0$, where $f$ is entire, $P$ a polynomial and $P^{\ast}_k$ the principal part of $P$ with its coefficients conjugated, was achieved in…
Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…
In this article, we study rational matrix representations of VZ $p$-groups ($p$ is any prime). Utilizing our findings on VZ $p$-groups, we explicitly obtain all inequivalent irreducible rational matrix representations of all $p$-groups of…
In the paper, by establishing a new and explicit formula for computing the $n$-th derivative of the reciprocal of the logarithmic function, the author presents new and explicit formulas for calculating Bernoulli numbers of the second kind…
For a rational function f we consider the norm of the derivative with respect to the spherical metric and denote by K(f) the supremum of this norm. We give estimates of this quantity K(f) both for an individual function and for sequences of…
In this note we provide a direct approach to the most basic operator in this theory namely the exterior derivative. The crucial ingredient is a calculus lemma based on determinants. We maintain the view that in a first course at least this…
This short article contains the construction of a construction that generalizes the concept of the derivative of a function of one variable, using the theory of filters. The paper presents a new concept, demonstrates that it really…
Scientific studies often require the precise calculation of derivatives. In many cases an analytical calculation is not feasible and one resorts to evaluating derivatives numerically. These are error-prone, especially for higher-order…
Explicit determinant formulas are presented for the $\tau$ functions of the generalized Painlev\'e equations of type $A$. This result allows an interpretation of the $\tau$-functions as the Pl\"ucker coordinates of the universal Grassmann…
We extend the well-known Shannon decomposition of Boolean functions to more general classes of functions. Such decompositions, which we call pivotal decompositions, express the fact that every unary section of a function only depends upon…
We show that if a complex entire function $f$ and its derivative $f'$ share their simple zeroes and their simple $a$-points for some nonzero constant $a$, then $f\equiv f'$. We also discuss how far these conditions can be relaxed or…
We give an explicit formula for the Jones polynomial of any rational link in terms of the denominators of the canonical continued fraction of the slope of the given rational link.
We extend the usual definition of the derivative in a way that Calculus I students can easily comprehend and which allows calculations at branch points.
