Upon re-examining Arnold's established lemma for explaining his famous limit problem, we have determined that while the lemma itself is correct, there is a defect in the original geometric proof. In this paper, we prove the correctness of…
Counterfactuals have become an important area of interdisciplinary interest, especially in logic, philosophy of language, epistemology, metaphysics, psychology, decision theory, and even artificial intelligence. In this study, we propose a…
Using WZ forms, Apery-style proofs of the irrationality of the q-analogues of the Harmonic seires and Ln(2) are given. For the q-analogue of Ln(2), this method of proof produces an improved irrationality measure.
The paper considers the problem of finding the number of dominant voters in two-level voting procedures. At the first stage, voting is conducted among local groups of voters, and at the second stage, the results are aggregated to form a…
We present a new twist on an old identity.
In this paper I investigate the problem of tagging elements of a set, and the elements of those elements, uniquely, when they admit an order, and two boundary elements are tagged. A heuristic sorting algorithm is also investigated. (Updated…
The applicability or terminating condition for the ordinary case of Zeilberger's algorithm was recently obtained by Abramov. For the $q$-analogue, the question of whether a bivariate $q$-hypergeometric term has a $qZ$-pair remains open. Le…
We study real bihomogeneous polynomials $r(z,\bar{z})$ in $n$ complex variables for which $r(z,\bar{z}) \|z\|^2$ is the squared norm of a holomorphic polynomial mapping. Such polynomials are the focus of the Sum of Squares Conjecture, which…
We study a class of aggregate-join queries with multiple aggregation operators evaluated over annotated relations. We show that straightforward extensions of standard multiway join algorithms and generalized hypertree decompositions (GHDs)…
We propose a new approach to the numerical solution of ergodic problems arising in the homogenization of Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) equations. It is based on a Newton-like method for solving inconsistent systems of nonlinear equations, coming…
We present new methods for the study of a class of generating functions introduced by the second author which carry some formal similarities with the Hurwitz zeta function. We prove functional identities which establish an explicit…
We extend the Reed Dawson identity for Knuth's old sum with a complex parameter, and we offer two separate hypergeometric series-based proofs of this generalization, and we apply this generalization to introduce binomial-harmonic sum…
We establish some new bilateral double-sum Rogers-Ramanujan identities involving parameters. As applications, these identities yield several new multi-sum Rogers-Ramanujan type identities. Our proofs utilize the theory of basic…
By systematically applying ten well-known and inequivalent two-part relations between hypergeometric sums 3F2(...|1) to the published database of all such sums, 62 new sums are obtained. The existing literature is summarized, and many…
An algorithm is presented for generating successive approximations to trigonometric functions of sums of non-commuting matrices. The resulting expressions involve nested commutators of the respective matrices. The procedure is shown to…
In this article, we provide an application of hypergeometric evaluation identities, including a strange valuation of Gosper, to prove several supercongruences related to special valuations of truncated hypergeometric series. In particular,…
Applying Baaz's Generalization Method and a new technique to, respectively, proofs and denumerable simple graphs, diverse arithmetical patterns are observed. In particular, sufficient conditions for a number to be a divisor of a Fermat…
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by cognitive impairment and memory loss. With the increasing aging population, the incidence of AD is continuously rising, making early diagnosis and intervention an…
The problem of large-scale simultaneous hypothesis testing is re-visited. Bagging and subagging procedures are put forth with the purpose of improving the discovery power of the tests. The procedures are implemented in both simulated and…
We provide a counterexample to a lemma used in a recent tentative improvement of the the Pin-Frankl bound for synchronizing automata. This example naturally leads us to formulate an open question, whose answer could fix the line of proof,…
