It is well known that there is an absolute constant $\mathfrak{C}>0$ such that if the Laplace transform $G(s)=\int_{0}^{\infty}\rho(x)e^{-s x}\:\mathrm{d}x$ of a bounded function $\rho$ has analytic continuation through every point of the…
Making use of QCD sum rules a lower bound is found which relates the electromagnetic polarizability $\alpha_{_E}$ and mean-square radius $\langle r_\pi^2\rangle$ of charged pions through the intrinsic polarizability $\tilde\alpha_{_E}=…
We show that $p=\sqrt{\frac{e}{n}}$ is a sharp threshold for the random graph $G_{n,p}$ to contain the square of a Hamilton cycle. This improves the previous results of K\"uhn and Osthus and also Nenadov and \v{S}kori\'c.
To prove by probabilistic methods that every $(n-1)$-dimensional section of the unit cube in $R^n$ has volume at most $\sqrt 2$, K. Ball made essential use of the inequality $$ \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \left(\frac{\sin^2…
Let $R^{\frac{1}{2}}$ be a large integer, and $\omega$ be a nonnegative weight in the $R$-ball $B_R=[0,R]^2$ such that $\omega(B_R)\le R$. For any complex sequence $\{a_n\}$, define the quadratic exponential sum \[…
In this paper, we derive the following asymptotic formula $$ \mathop{{\sum}'}_{n\leqslant x}\dfrac{r(n)}{r(n+1)} = {x}{(\ln x)^{-3/4}}(c+o(1)),\ \ x \to +\infty,$$ where $r(n)$ is the number of representations of $n$ as a sum of two…
The Laplace--P\'olya integral, defined by $J_n(r) = \frac1\pi\int_{-\infty}^\infty \mathrm{sinc}^n t \cos(rt) \mathrm{d} \, t$, appears in several areas of mathematics. We study this quantity by combinatorial methods; accordingly, our…
Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)e^{2\pi i nz}\in S_k^{new}(\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform of even weight $k\geq2$ that does not have complex multiplication. Then $a(n)\in\mathbb{R}$ for all $n$, so for any prime $p$, there exists…
Although flow in a circular pipe is stable to infinitesimal perturbations, it can be excited to turbulence by finite perturbations whose minimal amplitude shrinks as R goes to infinity (R = Reynolds number). Laboratory experiments have…
Boundary integral equations are an efficient and accurate tool for the numerical solution of elliptic boundary value problems. The solution is expressed as a layer potential; however, the error in its evaluation grows large near the…
In the world of mathematical analysis, many counterintuitive answers arise from the manipulation of seemingly unrelated concepts, ideas, or functions. For example, Euler showed that $e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$, whereas Gauss proved that the area…
In this article, we provide a new elementary proof of the Basel problem.
Recently, we derived an improved universal upper bound to the entropy of a charged system $S \leq \pi (2E b-q^2)/ \hbar$. There was, however, some uncertainty in the value of the numerical factor which multiplies the $q^2$ term. In this…
A new method is introduced for solving Laplace problems on 2D regions with corners by approximation of boundary data by the real part of a rational function with fixed poles exponentially clustered near each corner. Greatly extending a…
The sum of square roots is as follows: Given $x_1,\dots,x_n \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $a_1,\dots,a_n \in \mathbb{N}$ decide whether $ E=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \sqrt{a_i} \geq 0$. It is a prominent open problem (Problem 33 of the Open Problems Project),…
Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. An asymptotic formula with the error term $O(T^{53/28+\epsilon})$ is established for the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^4(x)dx.$ Similar results are also established for some…
We consider the expansion of an integral considered by F.G. Tricomi given by \[\int_{-\infty}^\infty x e^{-x^2}(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\mbox{erf}\,x)^{m} dx\] as $m\to\infty$. The procedure involves a suitable change of variable and the…
The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among simplexes for the regular simplex (the regular tetrahedron, in three dimensions), maximal among parallelepipeds for the hypercube, and maximal among…
