We examine the possible trajectories of a classical particle, trapped in a two-dimensional infinite rectangular well, using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We observe that three types of trajectories are possible: periodic orbits, open orbits…
The Riemann Hypothesis is reformulated as statements about eigenvalues of some matrices entries of which are defined via Taylor coefficient of the zeta function. These eigenvalues demonstrate interesting visual patterns allowing one to…
According to two remarkable theorems of Nyman and B\'aez-Duarte, the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to a simply-stated criterion concerning least-squares approximation. In carrying out computations related to this criterion, we have…
In a hyperbolic polygon any finite collection of closed billiard trajectories can be assigned an average length function. In this paper, we consider the average length of the collection of cyclically related closed billiard trajectories in…
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we rediscover and sharpen some of the best known results regarding the distribution of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions. This builds upon earlier work of Omar, which relies on the…
The exact computation of the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution P(s) is performed for a rectangular billiard with point-like scatterer inside for periodic and Dirichlet boundary conditions and it is demonstrated that for large s this…
Consider a family of smooth potentials $V_{\epsilon}$, which, in the limit $\epsilon\to0$, become a singular hard-wall potential of a multi-dimensional billiard. We define auxiliary billiard domains that asymptote, as $\epsilon\to0$ to the…
In this article, with a new approach, which is not discussed in the literature yet, the limit of the Riemann zeta function or Euler-Riemann zeta function is approximately explored by applying Dirichlet's rearrangement theorem for absolutely…
The notions of reflection from outside, reflection from inside and signature of a billiard trajectory within a quadric are introduced. Cayley-type conditions for periodical trajectories for the billiard in the region bounded by $k$ quadrics…
Questions of flux regulation in biological cells raise renewed interest in the narrow escape problem. The often inadequate expansions of the narrow escape time are due to a not so well known fact that the boundary singularity of Green's…
Dynamical properties are studied for escaping particles, injected through a hole in an oval billiard. The dynamics is considered for both static and periodically moving boundaries. For the static boundary, two different decays for the…
Linearly independent Dirichlet L-functions satisfying the same Riemann-type of functional equation have been supposed for long time to possess off critical line non trivial zeros. We are taking a closer look into this problem and into its…
A new method for continuing the usual Dirichlet series that defines the Riemann zeta function ${\zeta}(s)$ is presented. Numerical experiments demonstrating the computational efficacy of the resulting continuation are discussed.
We study the dynamics of billiard models with a modified collision rule: the outgoing angle from a collision is a uniform contraction, by a factor lambda, of the incident angle. These pinball billiards interpolate between a one-dimensional…
The extended Riemann hypothesis (ERH) for Dedekind zeta functions remains one of the most elusive open problems in number theory. Over the last century, many equivalent statements to the classical Riemann hypothesis alone have been…
We consider the outer billiards map with contraction outside polygons. We construct a 1-parameter family of systems such that each system has an open set in which the dynamics is reduced to that of a piecewise contraction on the interval.…
Billiard systems, broadly speaking, may be regarded as models of mechanical systems in which rigid parts interact through elastic impulsive (collision) forces. When it is desired or necessary to account for linear/angular momentum exchange…
The paper deals with lower bounds for the remainder term in asymptotics for a certain class of arithmetic functions. Typically, these are generated by a Dirichlet series which involves a product of Riemann zeta-functions of a special form.
The paper contains the Weyl formula for the counting function of the interior transmission problem when the latter is parameter-elliptic. Branching billiard trajectories are constructed, and the second term of the Weyl asymptotics is…
The paper establishes the property of splittability of billiard boundary sequences in n dimensional cube into subsequences of fractional parts. This reveals a new property of integrable and weak perturbated Hamilton systems: under a simple…
