Column-convex polygons were first counted by area several decades ago, and the result was found to be a simple, rational, generating function. In this chapter we generalize that result. Let a p-column polyomino be a polyomino whose columns…
A general integral expression to transform power series is applied to $\arcsin{x}$ and its positive integer powers. We concentrate on the first to the fourth powers and obtain infinite classes of new power series involving central binomial…
We discuss the connections among geometric infinite divisibility, thinning of renewal processes and Cox processes in this paper.
A large-scale experiment was conducted to find formulas relating to the base $e^\pi$. The numbers in this base are $$x = \sum_{n=0}^\infty {a(n)\over e^{\pi n}}$$ where $a(n)$ is taken from the OEIS catalog. These experiments were inspired…
We prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in $\R^n$ with density under various hypotheses on the growth of the density. Along the way we prove results on the boundedness of isoperimetric regions.
We will show certain functional inequalities between some products of $x^p - 1$.
We derive the length and area generating function of planar height-restricted forward-moving discrete paths of increments +1, 0, or -1 with arbitrary starting and ending points, the so-called Motzkin meanders, and the more general…
The cosmological entropy production is studied in the (1+3+6)-dimensional space-times consisting of the outer space (the 3-dimensional expanding section) and the inner space (the 6-dimensional section). The inner space expands initially and…
We present a general algorithm for finding the overlap area between two ellipses. The algorithm is based on finding a segment area (the area between an ellipse and a secant line) given two points on the ellipse. The Gauss-Green formula is…
We consider the generation of entropy when particle pairs are created at a cosmological level. Making a reduction via the particle number basis, we compute the classical limit for the entropy generation due to the evolution of the matter…
This work is a sequel of a previous work of one of the authors (Y.\^O), which treated certain congruence relation between an elliptic Gauss sum and a coefficient of power series expansion at the origin of the lemniscate sine function. We…
Motivated by the classical ideas of generating functions for orthogonal polynomials, we initiate a new line of investigation on "generating operators" for a family of differential operators between two manifolds. We prove a novel formula of…
This paper presents expressions for sums of powers of sine and cosine in terms of the basis for the field extension obtained by adjoining the sine or cosine to the field of rational numbers.
If axions exist they are efficiently produced in the hot and dense interior of stars, providing a novel energy-loss mechanism. In order to avoid a conflict with the observed properties of stars, one can derive a lower limit on the…
Recently the formation of an expanding universe from the (1+3+6)-dimensional space-times has been proposed on the basis of super-string theory. The serious entropy problem must be solved for it to be realistic from the cosmological…
We argue that a strict relation exists between two in principle unrelated quantities: The size of the growing domains in a coarsening system, and the kinetic roughening of an interface. This relation is confirmed by extensive simulations of…
We study the relationship between the areas of the consecutive quadrilaterals cut from a convex quadrilateral in the plane by means of a finite or infinite number of straight lines intersecting two of its opposite sides. Moreover, we obtain…
This paper considers some fundamental questions concerning marginally trapped surfaces, or apparent horizons, in Cauchy data sets for the Einstein equation. An area estimate for outermost marginally trapped surfaces is proved. The proof…
We present two models for the space of knots which have endpoints at fixed boundary points in a manifold with boundary, one model defined as an inverse limit of spaces of maps between configuration spaces and another which is cosimplicial.…
We give the generating function for the index of integer lattice points, relative to a finite order ideal. The index is an important concept in the theory of border bases, an alternative to Gr\"obner bases. Equivalently, we explicitly solve…
