The fractional calculus of variations is now a subject under strong research. Different definitions for fractional derivatives and integrals are used, depending on the purpose under study. In this paper the fractional operators are defined…
We consider the problem of guessing the realization of a random variable but under more general Tsallis' non-extensive entropic framework rather than the classical Maxwell-Boltzman-Gibbs-Shannon framework. We consider both the conditional…
We introduce a discrete-time fractional calculus of variations on the time scales $\mathbb{Z}$ and $(h\mathbb{Z})_a$. First and second order necessary optimality conditions are established. Some numerical examples illustrating the use of…
Consider a random graph G in G(n,p) and the graph property: G contains a copy of a specific graph H. (Note: H depends on n; a motivating example: H is a Hamiltonian cycle.) Let q be the minimal value for which the expected number of copies…
We discuss conditional expectations that can be used as generalizations of the partial trace for quantum systems with an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of states.
We introduce a fractional generalization of the Erlang Queues $M/E_k/1$. Such process is obtained through a time-change via inverse stable subordinator of the classical queue process. We first exploit the (fractional) Kolmogorov forward…
In this paper we study the integrals of fractional parts of given functions, and develop some new tools to understand the behaviour of prime differences. We demonstrate how simply some seemingly difficult conjectures related to prime…
The possibility of variations of the values of fundamental constants is a phenomenon predicted by a number of scenarios beyond General Relativity. This can happen if ``our'' fundamental constants are not the actual constants of the…
There are infinite processes (matrix products, continued fractions, $(r,s)$-matrix continued fractions, recurrence sequences) which, under certain circumstances, do not converge but instead diverge in a very predictable way. We give a…
In this paper we revisit Talagrand's proof of concentration inequality for empirical processes. We give a different shorter proof of the main technical lemma that guarantees the existence of a certain kernel. Our proof provides the almost…
An inequality, recently proposed by Franson [Phys. Rev. A 54, 3808 (1996)] is analyzed and improved. The inequality connects the change of the expectation value of an observable with the uncertainty of this observable. A strict bound on the…
In this review, we present some fundamental classical and quantum phenomena in view of time fractional formalism. Time fractional formalism is a very useful tool in describing systems with memory and delay. We hope that this study can…
Several conjectural continued fractions found with the help of various algorithms are published in this paper.
We introduced a new continued fraction expansions in our previous paper. For these expansions, we show formulae of probability about incomplete quotients. Furthermore, we prove the existence of invariant measures with respect to the…
In this paper, we introduce telescoping continued fractions to find lower bounds for the error term $r_n$ in Stirling's approximation $\displaystyle n! = \sqrt{2\pi}n^{n+1/2}e^{-n}e^{r_n}.$ This improves lower bounds given earlier by…
We study incommensurate fractional variational problems in terms of a generalized fractional integral with Lagrangians depending on classical derivatives and generalized fractional integrals and derivatives. We obtain necessary optimality…
In the present article, a new method for the evaluation of fractional derivatives of arbitrary real order is proposed. Numerous but inequivalent formulations have been given in the past. Some of them exhibit unsatisfactory properties such…
Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…
Here we introduce a fractional notion of $k$-dimensional measure, $0\leq k<n$, that depends on a parameter $\sigma$ that lies between $0$ and $1$. When $k=n-1$ this coincides with the fractional notions of area and perimeter, and when $k=1$…
We link, by means of a semiclassical approach, the fractional statistics of particles obeying the Haldane exclusion principle to the Tsallis statistics and derive a generalized quantum entropy and its associated statistics.
