We describe a numerical algorithm for evaluating the numbers of roots minus the number of poles contained in a region based on the argument principle with the function of interest being written as a Mellin transformation of a usually…

We consider the Mellin transforms of certain Legendre functions based upon the ordinary and associated Legendre polynomials. We show that the transforms have polynomial factors whose zeros lie all on the critical line Re $s=1/2$. The…

This is a translation from French into English of Argand's "Reflexions sur la nouvelle th\'eorie des imaginaires, suivies d'une application \`a la d\'emonstration d'un th\'eor\`eme d'analise", published in 1815. Argand reprises the method…

This is a translation of an article presented by Leonhard Euler on 18 March 1776 (Opera Omnia I-XVIII, pp. 265-290) and of summaries for it by Sim\'eon Denis Poisson in 1820 and by Heinrich Burkhardt in 1916. An appendix lists in modern…

The theory of Mellin transform is an incredibly useful tool in evaluating some of the well known results for the zeta function. Ramanujan in his quarterly reports \cite{1} gave a theorem for Mellin transform which is now known as…

Local holomorphic solutions z=z(a) to a univariate sparse polynomial equation p(z) =0, in terms of its vector of complex coefficients a, are classically known to satisfy holonomic systems of linear partial differential equations with…

In 1922 Ritt constructed the theory of functional decompositions of polynomials with complex coefficients. In particular, he described explicitly indecomposable polynomial solutions of the functional equation f(p(z))=g(q(z)). In this paper…

We study the distribution of Mahler's measures of reciprocal polynomials with complex coefficients and bounded even degree. We discover that the distribution function associated to Mahler's measure restricted to monic reciprocal polynomials…

This paper deals with Mellin transforms of rational functions $g/f$ in several variables. We prove that the polar set of such a Mellin transform consists of finitely many families of parallel hyperplanes, with all planes in each such family…

The hypergeometric solutions of the KZ equations were constructed almost 30 years ago. The polynomial solutions of the KZ equations over the finite field $F_p$ with a prime number $p$ of elements were constructed recently. In this paper we…

We present a summation rule using the Mellin transform to give short proofs of some important classical relations between special functions and Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. For example, the values of the Hurwitz zeta function at the…

We investigate the Mellin transforms of \(1/\operatorname{arctanh} x\) and \(1/(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\,\operatorname{arctanh} x)\), viewed as compactly supported functions on \((0,1)\). These transforms are closely connected with conjectures on…

We present explicit expressions for the Mellin transforms of Laguerre and Hermite functions in terms of a variety of special functions. We show that many of the properties of the resulting functions, including functional equations and…

We study the splitting fields of the family of polynomials $f_n(X)= X^n-X-1$. This family of polynomials has been much studied in the literature and has some remarkable properties. Serre related the function on primes $N_p(f_n)$, for a…

Previous analyses of Laguerre's method have provided results on the convergence and properties of this popular method when applied to the polynomials $p_n(z)=z^n-1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$. While these analyses appear to provide a fairly complete…

Let RD(n) denote the minimum d for which there exists a formula for the roots of the general degree n polynomial using only algebraic functions of d or fewer variables. In 1927, Hilbert sketched how the 27 lines on a cubic surface could be…

The aim of our present work here is to present few results in the theory of Mellin transforms using the method that S. Ramanujan used in proving his Master Theorem. Further applications of our results for some number-theoretic functions…

Some known results for locating the roots of polynomials are extended to the case of matrix polynomials. In particular, a theorem by A.E. Pellet [Bulletin des Sciences Math\'ematiques, (2), vol 5 (1881), pp.393-395], some results of D.A.…
