This paper, pursuing the work started in [10] and [11], holds six new formulae for {\pi}, see equations, through ratios of first kind elliptic integrals and some values of hypergeometric functions of three or four variables of Lauricella…
The memoir Theorie der Parallellinien (1766) by Johann Heinrich Lambert is one of the founding texts of hyperbolic geometry, even though its author's aim was, like many of his pre-decessors', to prove that such a geometry does not exist. In…
In this article, Joseph-Louis Lagrange analyzed those numbers which may be represented by the quadratic form $Bt^2 + Ctu + Du^2$. After proving a few theorems on the divisors of such numbers (and their possible forms), Lagrange developed a…
Landen transformation formulas, which connect Jacobi elliptic functions with different modulus parameters, were first obtained over two hundred years ago by changing integration variables in elliptic integrals.We rediscover known results as…
We find two series expansions for Legendre's second incomplete elliptic integral $E(\lambda, k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions converge at every point of the unit square in the $(\lambda, k)$ plane.…
In the seminal book M\'echanique analitique, Lagrange, 1788, the notion of a Lagrange multiplier was first introduced in order to study a smooth minimization problem subject to equality constraints. The idea is that, under some regularity…
We review the memoir \emph{heorie der Parallellinien} by Johann Heinrich Lambert, written in 1766. Lambert, a victim of the prejudices of his time, conceived this memoir as an attempt to prove the so-called parallel postulate of Euclid's…
Motivated by our previous work on hypergeometric functions and the parbelos constant, we perform a deeper investigation on the interplay among generalized complete elliptic integrals, Fourier-Legendre (FL) series expansions, and ${}_p F_q$…
Landen formulas, which connect Jacobi elliptic functions with different modulus parameters, were first obtained over two hundred years ago by making a suitable quadratic transformation of variables in elliptic integrals. We obtain and…
We analyse the mathematical underpinnings of a mixed hyperbolic-elliptic form of the Einstein equations of motion in which the lapse function is determined by specified mean curvature and the shift is arbitrary. We also examine a new…
In this note, we look at some of the less explored aspects of the gamma function. We provide a new proof of Euler's reflection formula and discuss its significance in the theory of special functions. We also discuss a result of Landau…
Most mathematical distortions used in ML are fundamentally integral in nature: $f$-divergences, Bregman divergences, (regularized) optimal transport distances, integral probability metrics, geodesic distances, etc. In this paper, we unveil…
The rational Landen transformation is a map on the coefficients of a rational integrand that preserves the value of the integral. This is the rational analog of the classical Landen transformations for elliptic integrals that leads to the…
In this article, we focus on the error that is committed when computing the matrix logarithm using the Gauss--Legendre quadrature rules. These formulas can be interpreted as Pad\'e approximants of a suitable Gauss hypergeometric function.…
This expository article is an introduction to Landau's problem of bounding the derivative, knowing bounds for the function and its second derivative, and some of its variants and generalizations. Connexions with convex and functional…
This is a journey through integrals of involutions and surprising consequences of the Lagrange inversion theorem. On the way, we meet unexpected logarithmic identities, hypergeometric functions with a linear regime and other mysterious…
Reparametrization invariant Lagrangian theories with higher derivatives are considered. We investigate the geometric structures behind these theories and construct the Hamiltonian formalism in a geometric way. The Legendre transformation…
We introduce a unified elliptic extension of CL-type Clausen functions based on logarithmic primitives of the Jacobi theta function. The resulting elliptic Clausen family satisfies the same integral recursion as the classical circular case,…
This paper describes the analysis of Lagrange interpolation errors on tetrahedrons. In many textbooks, the error analysis of Lagrange interpolation is conducted under geometric assumptions such as shape regularity or the (generalized)…
This note is a geometric commentary on maximum-entropy proofs. Its purpose is to illustrate the geometric structures involved in such proofs, to explain more in detail why the maximization of the entropy can be turned into the minimization…
