Differential lambda-calculus was first introduced by Thomas Ehrhard and Laurent Regnier in 2003. Despite more than 15 years of history, little work has been done on a differential calculus with integration. In this paper, we shall propose a…
Existence of the fundamental solution of the logarithmic Laplacian (in dimensions $d \geq 3$) was established by Huyuan Chen and Laurent V\'eron (2024). In this note, we present an alternative approach, based on a modification on the…
In this paper, we address the accuracy of the results for the overdetermined full rank linear least squares problem. We recall theoretical results obtained in Arioli, Baboulin and Gratton, SIMAX 29(2):413--433, 2007, on conditioning of the…
Back in 1755, Euler explored an interesting array of numbers that now frequently appears in polynomial identities, combinatorial problems, and finite calculus, among other places. These numbers share a strong connection with well-known…
This article has been written for an educational magazine whose target audience consists of students and teachers of mathematics in universities, colleges and schools. It concerns a notion of duality between rectangles. A proof is given…
We study Lagrange spectra arising from intrinsic Diophantine approximation of circles and spheres. More precisely, we consider three circles embedded in $\mathbb{R}^2$ or $\mathbb{R}^3$ and three spheres embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ or…
We study in this paper the continuous and discrete Euler-Lagrange equations arising from a quadratic lagrangian. Those equations may be thought as numerical schemes and may be solved through a matrix based framework. When the lagrangian is…
We consider the Geometria Practica of Christopher Clavius, S.J., a suprisingly eclectic and comprehensive textbook of practical geometry, whose first edition appeared in 1604. Our focus is on four particular sections from Books IV and VI…
This article reviews the use of differential forms and Lie derivatives to find symmetries of differential equations, as originally presented by Harrison and Estabrook, J. Math. Phys., 12 (1971), 653. An outline of the method is given,…
In 1969, H. Davenport and W. M. Schmidt studied the problem of approximation to a real number \xi by algebraic integers of degree at most three. They did so, using geometry of numbers, by resorting to the dual problem of finding…
C.H. Yang discovered a polynomial version of the classical Lagrange identity expressing the product of two sums of four squares as another sum of four squares. He used it to give short proofs of some important theorems on composition of…
We investigate approximation to a given real number by algebraic numbers and algebraic integers of prescribed degree. We deal with both best and uniform approximation, and highlight the similarities and differences compared with the…
Analytical formulae for the points and weights of two fifth-order quadrature rules for C_3, the 3-cube, are given. The rules, originally formulated by A. H. Stroud in 1967, are discussed in greater detail in terms of both the setup of the…
The divided cell algorithm was introduced by Delone in 1947 to calculate the inhomogeneous minima of binary quadratic forms and developed further by E. S. Barnes and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer in the 1950s. We show how advances of the past…
A dual formalism for Lagrange multipliers is developed. The formalism is used to minimize an action function $S(q_2,q_1,T)$ without any dynamical input other than that $S$ is convex. All the key equations of analytical mechanics -- the…
The traditional first approach to fractional calculus is via the Riemann-Liouville differintegral $_{a}D_{x}^{k}$. The intent of this paper will be to create a space $K$, pair of maps $g: C^{\omega}(\mathbb{R}) \to K$ and $g': K \to…
In a recent paper by Ibragimov [N. H. Ibragimov, Invariant Lagrangians and a new method of integration of nonlinear equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 304 (2005) 212--235] a method was presented in order to find Lagrangians of certain…
It is shown that the Euler-Lagrange equations for a Lagrangian system on a Lie algebroid are obtained as the equations for the critical points of the action functional defined on a Banach manifold of curves. The theory of reduction and the…
This preprint is a text for students and teachers on inequalities. Some standard topics are covered on application of calculus to inequality proving. Many examples are considered, stated, solved or partially solved. Some problems are…
E727 in the Enestrom index. This is a translation from the Latin original "Accuratior evolutio problematis de linea brevissima in superficie quacunque ducenda" (1779). Given a surface $pdx+qdy+rdz=0$, Euler wants to develop equations that…
