In 1776, L. Euler proposed three methods, called prima methodus, secunda methodus and tertia methodus, to calculate formulae for double zeta values. However strictly speaking, his last two methods are mathematically incomplete and require…

The Bertrand's theorem can be formulated as the solution of an inverse problem for a classical unidimensional motion. We show that the solutions of these problems, if restricted to a given class, can be obtained by solving a numerical…

Early 17th-century mathematical publications of Johann Faulhaber contain some remarkable theorems, such as the fact that the $r$-fold summation of $1^m,2^m,...,n^m$ is a polynomial in $n(n+r)$ when $m$ is a positive odd number. The present…

This work derives explicit series reversions for the solution of Calder\'on's problem. The governing elliptic partial differential equation is $\nabla\cdot(A\nabla u)=0$ in a bounded Lipschitz domain and with a matrix-valued coefficient.…

The differential transform method is used to find numerical approximation of solution to a class of certain nonlinear differential algebraic equations. The method is based on Taylor's theorem. Coefficients of the Taylor series are…

In a Bayesian inverse problem setting, the solution consists of a posterior measure obtained by combining prior belief, information about the forward operator, and noisy observational data. This measure is most often given in terms of a…

It is a generalization of Pell's equation $x^2-Dy^2=0$. Here, we show that: if our Diophantine equation has a particular integer solution and $ab$ is not a perfect square, then the equation has an infinite number of solutions; in this case…

We affirmatively resolve a question posed by Uffe Haagerup in 1975 on the positive version of the bipolar theorem on the dual spaces of C$^*$-algebras. As a direct consequence, we obtain a complete set of four positive Hahn-Banach…
