A variety of "pseudo-Voigt" functions, i.e. a linear combination of the Lorentz and Gauss function (occasionally augmented with a correction term), have been proposed as a closed-form approximation for the convolution of the Lorentz and…
In the present paper we propose a new approach to investigate the logistic function, commonly used in mathematical models in economics and management. The approach is based on indicating in a given time series, having a logistic trend, some…
We show how rational function approximations to the logarithm, such as $\log z \approx (z^2 - 1)/(z^2 + 6z + 1)$, can be turned into fast algorithms for approximating the determinant of a very large matrix. We empirically demonstrate that…
Computing the distance function to some surface or line is a problem that occurs very frequently. There are several ways of computing a relevant approximation of this function, using for example technique originating from the approximation…
We present an algorithm for generating approximations for the logarithm of Barnes $G$-function in the half-plane $Re(z)\ge 3/2$. These approximations involve only elementary functions and are easy to implement. The algorithm is based on a…
We prove that the logarithm of an arbitrary tau-function of the KdV hierarchy can be approximated, in the topology of graded formal series by the logarithmic expansions of hyperelliptic theta-functions of finite genus, up to at most…
For $f$ analytic and close to convex in $D=\{z: |z|< 1\}$, we give sharp estimates for the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_{n}$ of $f$ defined by $\log \dfrac{f(z)}{z}=2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \gamma_{n}z^{n}$ when $n=1, 2,3$.
Symmetric elliptic integrals, which have been used as replacements for Legendre's integrals in recent integral tables and computer codes, are homogeneous functions of three or four variables. When some of the variables are much larger than…

We study the polynomial approximation of symmetric multivariate functions and of multi-set functions. Specifically, we consider $f(x_1, \dots, x_N)$, where $x_i \in \mathbb{R}^d$, and $f$ is invariant under permutations of its $N$…

Two approaches for the efficient rational approximation of the Fermi-Dirac function are discussed: one uses the contour integral representation and conformal mapping and the other is based on a version of the multipole representation of the…
The logistic function is shown to be solution of the Riccati equation, some second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations and many third-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The list of the differential equations having…
For an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…
