While investigating the generalization of the Chandrasekhar (1943) dynamical friction to the case of field stars with a power-law mass spectrum and equipartition Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution, a pair of 2-dimensional integrals…

We find this identity, that looks like an exercise in Calculus 1, surprising, and beautiful. We hope that you would too.

Given complex numbers $m_1,l_1$ and positive integers $m_2,l_2$, such that $m_1+m_2=l_1+l_2$, we define $l_2$-dimensional hypergeometric integrals $I_{a,b}(z;m_1,m_2,l_1,l_2)$, $a,b=0,...,\min(m_2,l_2)$, depending on a complex parameter…

In this note, we investigate some properties of the integer sequence of general term $a_n := \sum_{k = 0}^{n - 1} k! (n - k - 1)!$ ($\forall n \geq 1$) to derive a new identity of the Genocchi numbers $G_n$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$), which…

We provide elliptic extensions of elementary identities such as the sum of the first $n$ odd or even numbers, the geometric sum and the sum of the first $n$ cubes. Many such identities, and their $q$-analogues, are indefinite sums, and can…

I prove an identity between the first kind and the third kind complete elliptic integrals with the following form: $$\Pi({(1+x) (1-3 x)\over (1-x) (1+3 x)}, {(1+x)^3(1-3 x)\over (1-x)^3 (1+3x)})- {1+ 3 x \over 6 x} K ({(1+x)^3(1-3x)\over…

An identity is proved connecting two finite sums of inverse tangents. This identity is discretized version of Jacobi's imaginary transformation for the modular angle from the theory of elliptic functions. Some other related identities are…

In this paper we evaluate some Toeplitz-type determinants. Let $n>1$ be an integer. We prove the following two basic identities: \begin{align*} \det{[j-k+\delta_{jk}]_{1\leq j,k\leq n}}&=1+\frac{n^2(n^2-1)}{12}, \\…

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…

The complete elliptic integral of the first and second kind, K(k) and E(k), appear in a multitude of physics and engineering applications. Because there is no known closed-form, the exact values have to be computed numerically. Here,…

The singularities of the $\Gamma$ function, a meromorphic function on the complex plane, are known to occur at the nonpositive integers. We show, using Euler and Gauss identities, that for all positive integers $n$ and $k$, $$…

In this paper we obtain a new curious identity involving trigonometric functions. Namely, for any positive odd integer $n$ we prove that $$\sum_{k=1}^n(-1)^k(\cot kx)\sin k(n-k)x=\frac{1-n}2,$$ which is equivalent to the identity…

We investigate a variation of Nicomachus's identity in which one term in the cubic sum is replaced by a different cube. Specifically, we study the Diophantine identity \[ \sum_{j=1}^{n} j^3 + x^3 - k^3 = \left( \sum_{j=1}^{n} j + x - k…

In 2007 V. Zhuravlev discovered a family of identities concerning integer parts which are satisfied by the number $\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$. Some of these identities turned out to be characterization properties of the number…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and define the rational function $S(x_1,\ldots,x_{2n})$ as the permanent of the matrix $[x_{j,k}]_{1\le j,k\le 2n}$, where $$x_{j,k}=\begin{cases}(x_j+x_k)/(x_j-x_k)&\text{if}\ j\not=k,\\1&\text{if}\…

We propose three kinds of explicit formulas for the elliptic lambda function by the elliptic modular function. Further, we derive incredible cubic identities as a corollary of our explicit formulas and evaluate some singular values of the…

For any irrational $\alpha > 0$ and any initial value $z_{-1} \in \mathbb{C}$, we define a sequence of complex numbers $(z_n)_{n=0}^{\infty}$ as follows: $z_n$ is $z_{n-1} + e^{2 \pi i \alpha n}$ or $z_{n-1} - e^{2 \pi i \alpha n}$,…

We consider a new identity involving integrals and sums of Bessel functions. The identity provides new ways to evaluate integrals of products of two Bessel functions. The identity is remarkably simple and powerful since the summand and…

In this short note we provide some algebraic identity with a proof exploiting its probabilistic interpretation. We show several consequences of the identity, in particular we obtain a new representation of a Stirling number of second kind,…

We find exact identities for sums of the form \begin{equation*}\label{eq:convsumabs} \sum_{\stackrel{n_1+n_2 = n}{n_1 \in \mathbb{Z} \setminus \{ 0, n \} }} Q(n_1,n_2) \sigma_{-r_1}(n_1) \sigma_{-r_2}(n_2), \end{equation*} where…
