Creative telescoping is the method of choice for obtaining information about definite sums or integrals. It has been intensively studied since the early 1990s, and can now be considered as a classical technique in computer algebra. At the…
A positive integer $n$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a triangle with sides $a,b$ and $c$ for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $n\sqrt{r^2 - s^2}$, where $0 < \theta < \pi$, $\cos…
In this Letter we propose two path integral approaches to describe the classical mechanics of spinning particles. We show how these formulations can be derived from the associated quantum ones via a sort of geometrical dequantization…
We prove elegant trilinear formulas connecting products of volumes of Euclidean tetrahedra with vertices taken from a given set of 6 points. We propose a way for generalizing those formulas.
We begin by studying the surface area of an ellipsoid in n-dimensional Euclidean space as the function of the lengths of the semi-axes. We write down an explicit formula as an integral over the unit sphere in n-dimensions and use this…
This letter announces and summarizes results obtained in arXiv:1111.5051 and considers several natural extensions. The aforementioned paper proposes a procedure to reconstruct coefficients in a second-order, scalar, elliptic equation from…
The goal of the first part of this note is to get an explicit formula for rotation number and Mather $\beta$-function for ellipse. This is done here with the help of non-standard generating function of billiard problem. In this way the…
A convergence result for perturbed holomorphic cylinders in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$ is proved; a sequence of perturbed holomorphic cylinders converges to a configuration of two holomorphic disks joined by a flow line. A key step in the…
We completely classify edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent quadrilaterals. As part of the classification, we also present a modern version of the classification of edge-to-edge tilings of the sphere by congruent triangles.…
We give a deterministic 2^{O(n)} algorithm for computing an M-ellipsoid of a convex body, matching a known lower bound. This has several interesting consequences including improved deterministic algorithms for volume estimation of convex…
Given a natural number $n\geq3$ and two points $a$ and $b$ in the unit disk $\mathbb D$ in the complex plane, it is known that there exists a unique elliptical disk having $a$ and $b$ as foci that can also be realized as the intersection of…
We study the strongly singular volume integral equation that describes the scattering of time-harmonic electromagnetic waves by a penetrable obstacle. We consider the case of a cylindrical obstacle and fields invariant along the axis of the…
In a paper presented a few years ago, De Lorenci et al. showed, in the context of canonical quantum cosmology, a model which allowed space topology changes (Phys. Rev. D 56, 3329 (1997)). The purpose of this present work is to go a step…
We derive a new bound for some bilinear sums over points of an elliptic curve over a finite field. We use this bound to improve a series of previous results on various exponential sums and some arithmetic problems involving points on…
This paper reports a numerical study of complex classical trajectories of a particle in an elliptic potential. This study of doubly-periodic potentials is a natural sequel to earlier work on complex classical trajectories in trigonometric…
The equations of motion for the rolling and gliding Tippe Top (TT) are nonintegrable and difficult to analyze. The only existing arguments about TT inversion are based on analysis of stability of asymptotic solutions and the LaSalle type…

The aim of this article is to prove strong convergence results on the difference between the solution to highly oscillatory problems posed in thin domains and its two-scale expansion. We first consider the case of the linear diffusion…
We address the problem of constructing elliptic polytopes in R^d, which are convex hulls of finitely many two-dimensional ellipses with a common center. Such sets arise in the study of spectral properties of matrices, asymptotics of long…
