We define "values" of the elliptic modular j-function at real quadratic irrationalities by using Hecke's hyperbolic Fourier expansions, and present some observations based on numerical experiments.
We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.
We note how several central results in multiplicative number theory may be rephrased naturally in terms of multiplicative functions $f$ that pretend to be another multiplicative function $g$. We formalize a `distance' which gives a measure…
We consider integer sequences that satisfy a recursion of the form $x_{n+1} = P(x_n)$ for some polynomial $P$ of degree $d > 1$. If such a sequence tends to infinity, then it satisfies an asymptotic formula of the form $x_n \sim A…
Let $T$ be a measure preserving $\mathbb{Z}^\ell$-action on the probability space $(X,{\mathcal B},\mu),$ $q_1,\dots,q_m:{\mathbb R}\to{\mathbb R}^\ell$ vector polynomials, and $f_0,\dots,f_m\in L^\infty(X)$. For any $\epsilon > 0$ and…
This paper expands on existing learned models of human behavior via a measured step in structured irrationality. Specifically, by replacing the suboptimality constant $\beta$ in a Boltzmann rationality model with a function over states…
In this paper, we prove some inequalities for the differences and ratios of the beta function.
Recently, Keith investigated arithmetic properties for the reciprocals of some false theta functions and posed several conjectures. In this paper, we prove some parity results for the reciprocals of some false theta functions by using some…
The knowledge on irrationality of p-adic zeta values has recently progressed. The irrationality of zeta_2(2), \zeta_2(3) and of a few other p-adic series of Dirichlet was obtained by F. Calegari. F. Beukers gave a more elementary proof of…
In this note, we present a novel measure of similarity between two functions. It quantifies how the sub-optimality gaps of two functions convert to each other, and unifies several existing notions of functional similarity. We show that it…
There are many examples of human decision making which cannot be modeled by classical probabilistic and logic models, on which the current AI systems are based. Hence the need for a modeling framework which can enable intelligent systems to…
A well known theorem of Lagrange states that the simple continued fraction of a real number $\alpha$ is periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational. We examine non-periodic and non-simple continued fractions formed by two…
Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. Dubickas and Smyth, and later Fili and the author, examined metric versions of $M$. The author generalized these constructions in order to associate,…
We introduce a geometric-arithmetic approach to the analysis of the Flint Hills series, linking its convergence behavior to the irrationality measure of pi. The framework highlights the interplay between the distribution of near-multiples…
New asymptotic relations between the $L_p$-errors of best approximation of univariate functions by algebraic polynomials and entire functions of exponential type are obtained for $p\in (0,\iy]$. General asymptotic relations are applied to…
An application of (iterated) Bauer-Muir acceleration can give an Ap\'ery-like continued fraction for $\pi$ with irrational coefficients, and much faster convergence. It can be considered a generalized continued fraction with the same matrix…
We establish some monotonicity results and functional inequalities for modified Lommel functions of the first kind. In particular, we obtain new Tur\'{a}n type inequalities and bounds for ratios of modified Lommel functions of the first…
A fundamental problem of statistical data analysis, distribution density estimation by experimental data, is considered. A new method with optimal asymptotic behavior, the root density estimator, is developed. The method proposed may be…
The theory of belief functions manages uncertainty and also proposes a set of combination rules to aggregate opinions of several sources. Some combination rules mix evidential information where sources are independent; other rules are…
Some properties of integral averages of functions on intervals and their asymptotic behavior are investigated. The results are aimed at applications to entire and subharmonic functions.
