We present a simple and accessible method which uses contour integration methods to derive formulae for functional determinants. To make the presentation as clear as possible we illustrate the general ideas using the Laplacian with…
In this contribution we first summarize how contour integration methods can be used to derive closed formulae for functional determinants of ordinary differential operators. We then generalize our considerations to partial differential…
A new analytical characterization of balls in the Euclidean space $\RR^m$ is obtained. Unlike previous results of this kind, using either harmonic functions or solutions to the modified Helmholtz equation, the present one is based on…
The method of self-similar factor approximants is completed by defining the approximants of odd orders, constructed from the power series with the largest term of an odd power. It is shown that the method provides good approximations for…
An effective method to obtain exact analytical solutions of equations describing the coherent dynamics of multilevel systems is presented. The method is based on the usage of orthogonal polynomials, integral transforms and their discrete…
We show that the discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions associated with the Euclidean balls in $\mathbb Z^d$ with dyadic radii have bounds independent of the dimension on $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ for $p\in[2, \infty]$.
In this work, we present a general procedure, which is able to generate new exact solitonic models in 1+1 dimensions, from a known one, consisting of two coupled scalar fields. An interesting consequence of the method, is that of the…
Four-dimensional mass is determined in four-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space as a physical invariant of that space. That invariant is discussed as an invariant of electromagnetic type. Finally, equations of Maxwell type are obtained for…
We extend the sum-of-divisors function to the complex plane via the Gaussian integers. Then we prove a modified form of Euler's classification of odd perfect numbers.
We prove that the discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated with Euclidean spheres with small radii has dimension-free estimates on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ for $p\in[2,\infty).$ This implies an analogous result for the Euclidean…
We develop a linear-algebraic framework for dimensional analysis in systems with constraints, particularly when variables are numerous or related by implicit relations so that direct elimination is impractical. By expressing both…
Determining functionals are tools to describe the finite dimensional long-term dynamics of infinite dimensional dynamical systems. There also exist several applications to infinite dimensional {\em random} dynamical systems. In these…
We discuss non-Euclidean deterministic and stochastic algorithms for optimization problems with strongly and uniformly convex objectives. We provide accuracy bounds for the performance of these algorithms and design methods which are…
Methodology is provided towards the solution of the minimum enclosing ball problem. This problem concerns the determination of the unique spherical surface of smallest radius enclosing a given bounded set in the d-dimensional Euclidean…
The subject of this paper is the design of efficient and stable spectral methods for time-dependent partial differential equations in unit balls. We commence by sketching the desired features of a spectral method, which is defined by a…
The rolling of a dynamically balanced ball on a horizontal rough table without slipping was described by Chaplygin using Abel quadratures. We discuss integrable discretizations and deformations of this nonholonomic system using the same…
We establish sharp Sobolev inequalities of order four on Euclidean d-balls for d greater than or equal to four. When d=4, our inequality generalizes the classical second order Lebedev-Milin inequality on Euclidean 2-balls. Our method relies…

With appropriate interpolating currents the mass spectrum of $0^{--}$ oddball is obtained in the framework of QCD Sum Rules (QCDSR). We find there are two stable oddballs with masses of $3.81 \pm 0.12 \, \text{GeV}$ and $4.33 \pm 0.13 \,…
I relate some coefficients encountered when computing the functional determinants on spheres to the central differentials of nothing. In doing this I use some historic works, in particular transcribing the elegant symbolic formalism of…
