We study a q-logarithm which was introduced by Euler and give some of its properties. This q-logarithm did not get much attention in the recent literature. We derive basic properties, some of which were already given by Euler in a…
Euler equations are the basic system in fluid dynamics describing the motion of incompressible and inviscid ideal fluids. For a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The well-posedness of Euler equations is well-known in Sobolev…
We study explicit solutions to the 2 dimensional Euler equations in the Lagrangian framework. All known solutions have been of the separation of variables type, where time and space dependence are treated separately. The first such…
We present a proof of the formula (given in Lurie's Higher Algebra) for the operad governing diagrams of operad algebras. We believe that our proof corrects a flaw in the original argument. 2nd version: a corrected proof given.
We present a method to compute the Euler characteristic of an algebraic subset of $\bc^n$. This method relies on clasical tools such as Gr\"obner basis and primary decomposition. The existence of this method allows us to define a new…
Euler diagrams are a tool for the graphical representation of set relations. Due to their simple way of visualizing elements in the sets by geometric containment, they are easily readable by an inexperienced reader. Euler diagrams where the…
We show convexity of solutions to a class of convex variational problems in the Gauss and in the Wiener space. An important tool in the proof is a representation formula for integral functionals in this infinite dimensional setting, that…

We relate Fubini's theorem for Euler characteristics to Riemann-Hurwtiz formulae, and reprove a classical result of Iversen. The techniques used include algebraic geometry, complex geometry, and model theory. Possible applications to the…
We propose a novel discretization procedure for the classical Euler equation based on the theory of Galois differential algebras and the finite operator calculus developed by G.C. Rota and collaborators. This procedure allows us to define…
We revisit certain one-parameter families of affine covers arising naturally from Euler's integral representation of hypergeometric functions. We introduce a partial compactification of this family. We show that the zeta function of the…
We consider the generalized eigenvalue problem for the classical Euler differential equation and demonstrate its intimate connection with Meijer's $G$-functions. In the course of deriving the solution of the generalized Euler eigenvalue…
Leonhard Euler likely developed his summation formula in 1732, and soon used it to estimate the sum of the reciprocal squares to 14 digits --- a value mathematicians had been competing to determine since Leibniz's astonishing discovery that…
By using the elementary symmetric polynomials and some results of number theory, we solve the well known problem of Lehmer on Euler's totient function. As application, we obtain a new characterization of prime numbers.
This is an adapatation by U. Frisch of an English translation by Thomas E. Burton of Euler's memoir `Principes g\'en\'eraux du mouvement des fluides' (Euler, 1775b). Burton's translation appeared in Fluid Dynamics, 34} (1999) pp. 801-82,…
