In this article we develop a new method for relating Mahler measures of three-variable polynomials that define elliptic modular surfaces to L-values of modular forms. Using an idea of Deninger, we express the Mahler measure as a Deligne…
We describe a general method to determine the Apery limits of a differential equation that have a modular-function origin. As a by-product of our analysis, we discover a family of identities involving the special values of L-functions…
Let $\chi_{-f}$ be the odd quadratic Dirichlet character of conductor $f$, and let $\mathrm{m}(P)$ denote the Mahler measure of a polynomial $P$. In 1984, Chinburg conjectured that for any such $\chi_{-f}$ there exist an integral bivariate…
In this work, we study the integrability, as well as the dynamics of the Lorenz System. This include a very useful identity:\[ \beta z^2(\sigma t)+y^2(\beta\sigma t)=\rho x^2(\beta t)+\nu e^{-2\beta\sigma t}, \]where $\nu\in\mathbb{R}$ is a…
We consider a version of height on polynomial spaces defined by the integral over the normalized area measure on the unit disk. This natural analog of Mahler's measure arises in connection with extremal problems for Bergman spaces. It…
This text grew out of notes I have used in teaching a one quarter course on integration at the advanced undergraduate level. My intent is to introduce the Lebesgue integral in a quick, and hopefully painless, way and then go on to…
In this paper we shall consider some famous means such as arithmetic, harmonic, geometric, logarithmic means, etc. Inequalities involving logarithmic mean with differences among other means are presented
We show how to write any Kaehler metric of complex dimension 2 admitting a holomorphic isometry as a simple 1-real-function deformation of a Gibbons-Hawking metric. Hyper-Kaehler metrics with a tri-holomorphic isometry (Gibbons-Hawking…
The suggested approach is based on a known representation of Dirichlet $L$-functions via the incomplete gamma functions. Some properties of the Taylor coefficients of the lower incomplete gamma function at infinity seem to be new.…
The measurement of the similarity of RNA secondary structures, and in general of contact structures, of a fixed length has several specific applications. For instance, it is used in the analysis of the ensemble of suboptimal secondary…
Let $f \in M_+(\mathbb{R}_+)$, the class of nonnegative, Lebesgure-measurable functions on $\mathbb{R}_+=(0, \infty)$. We deal with integral operators of the form \[ (T_Kf)(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}_+}K(x,y)f(y)\, dy, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}_+, \]…
We prove that sparse resultants having Mahler measure equal to zero are those whose Newton polytope has dimension one. We then compute the Mahler measure of resultants in dimension two, and examples in dimension three and four. Finally, we…
We exhibit a change of variables that maintains the Mahler measure of a given polynomial. This method leads to the construction of highly non-trivial polynomials with given Mahler measure and settles some conjectural numerical formulas due…
A new characterization of harmonic functions is obtained. It is based on quadrature identities involving mean values over annular domains and over concentric spheres lying within these domains or on their boundaries. The analogous result…
We provide a non-trivial measure of irrationality for a class of Mahler numbers defined with infinite products which cover the Thue-Morse constant.
If the equation 1^k+2^k+...+(m-2)^k+(m-1)^k=m^k has an integer solution with k>1, then m>10^{10^6}. Leo Moser showed this in 1953 by remarkably elementary methods. His proof rests on four identities he derives separately. It is shown here…
We study the existence of the identity L_n^2 -5F_n^2 = 4(-1)^n.
We prove the curious identity in the sense of formal power series: \[ \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}[y^m] \exp\left(-\frac{t^2}2 +\sum_{j\ge3}\frac{(it)^j}{j!}\, y^{j-2}\right)\mathrm{d} t = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}[y^m] \exp\left(-\frac{t^2}2+…
We propose a definition of magnitude for a length space with a Borel measure, which involves integrals over the set of geodesics. This quantity agrees with the magnitude of finite metric spaces, up to re-scaling the metric to ensure the…
Many identities written by $P=S=C$ are obtained, where $P$ infinite products, $S$ infinite series, and $C$ continued fractions. Such equality is called {\it triplicity}, and it can be used to compute the values of infinite series. It is…
