We give continued fraction expansions of the generating functions of Bernoulli numbers, Cauchy numbers, Euler numbers, harmonic numbers, and their generalized or related numbers. In particular, we focus on explicit forms of the convergents…

Let $\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-st}f(t)dt$ denote the Laplace transform of $f$. It is well-known that if $f(t)$ is a piecewise continuous function on the interval $t:[0,\infty)$ and of exponential order for $t > N$; then…

In this paper we prove the probabilistic continuous complexity conjecture. In continuous complexity theory, this states that the complexity of solving a continuous problem with probability approaching 1 converges (in this limit) to the…

We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…

Here is the simplest particular case of our main result: let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a function of class $C^1$, with $\sup_{\bf R}f'>0$, such that $$\lim_{|\xi|\to +\infty}{{f(\xi)}\over {\xi}}=0\ .$$ Then, for each $\lambda>{{\pi^2}\over…

We study the following class of nonlinear Choquard equation, $$ -\Delta u +V(x)u =\Big( \frac{1}{|x|^\mu}\ast F(u)\Big)f(u) \quad \mbox{in} \quad \R^N, $$ where $0<\mu<N$, $N \geq 3$, $V$ is a continuous real function and $F$ is the…

We consider the problem of whether or not certain mock theta functions vanish at the roots of unity with an odd order. We prove for any such function $f(q)$ that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that for any odd integer $n>C$ the function…

Using variational methods, we establish the existence of infinitely many solutions to an elliptic problem driven by a Choquard term and a singular nonlinearity. We further show that if the problem has a positive solution, then it is bounded…

An equation $f(x)=a$, where $f$ is a complex meromorphic function and $a\in\mathbb{C}$ is a parameter, is solvable in elementary functions if the inverse map $x=f^{-1}(a)$ can be expressed as a finite composition of arithmetic operations…

The theory of abstract convexity, also known as convexity without linearity, is an extension of the classical convex analysis. There are a number of remarkable results, mostly concerning duality, and some numerical methods, however, this…

In this work we prove the existence of infinitely many nonradial solutions that change signal to the problem $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in $B$ with $u=0$ on $\partial B$, where $B$ is the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $f$ is a continuous and odd…

In this paper, we will prove the existence of infinitely many positive solutions to the following supercritical problem by using the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction method and asymptotic analysis: {ll}\Delta u + u^{p}+f(x)=0, u>0 {in} R^{n},…

Let C be real-analytic simple closed curve in the complex plane which is symmetric with respect to the real axis. Let r>0 be such that C+ir misses C-ir. We prove that if a continuous function f extends holomorphically from C+it for each t…

Consider the Mills ratio $f(x)=\big(1-\Phi(x)\big)/\phi(x), \, x\ge 0$, where $\phi$ is the density function of the standard Gaussian law and $\Phi$ its cumulative distribution.We introduce a general procedure to approximate $f$ on the…

In this note, we prove the existence of infinitely many zeros of certain generalized Hurwitz zeta functions in the domain of absolute convergence. This is a generalization of a classical problem of Davenport, Heilbronn and Cassels about the…

We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…

The $3x+1$ Problem asks if whether for every natural number $n$, there exists a finite number of iterations of the piecewise function $$f(2n)=n, \quad f(2n-1)=6n-2, $$ with an iterate equal to the number $1$, or in other words, every…

We present a class of permutations for which the number of distinctly ordered subsequences of each permutation approaches an almost optimal value as the length of the permutation grows to infinity.

Given a function f in the exterior of a convex curve in the real plane, we prove that if the restrictions of f to the tangent lines to the curve extend as entire functions, then the function f is an entire function of two variables.
