We propose a new definition of the q-exponential function. Our q-exponential function maps the imaginary axis into the unit circle and the resulting q-trigonometric functions are bounded and satisfy the Pythagorean identity.

For a convex polytope P with rational vertices, we count the number of integer points in integral dilates of P and its interior. The Ehrhart-Macdonald reciprocity law gives an intimate relation between these two counting functions. A…

We present some necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the positivity problem of three-term recurrence sequences. As applications we show the positivity of diagonal Taylor coefficients of some rational functions in a unified approach.…

We introduce a novel logical notion--partial entailment--to propositional logic. In contrast with classical entailment, that a formula P partially entails another formula Q with respect to a background formula set \Gamma intuitively means…

This work concerns results on conditions guaranteeing that certain banded $M$-matrices have banded inverses. As a first goal, a graph theoretic characterization for an off-diagonal entry of the inverse of an $M$-matrix to be positive, is…

We derive self-reciprocity properties for a number of polyomino generating functions, including several families of column-convex polygons, three-choice polygons and staircase polygons with a staircase hole. In so doing, we establish a…

Suppose that $I$ is a unit square. Let $T$ (resp. $\Delta$) be an isosceles right triangle (resp. an equilateral triangle). We prove that any collection of triangles homothetic to $T$ (resp. $\Delta$), whose total area does not exceed…

This note being devoted to some aspects of the inverse problem of representation theory contains a new insight into it illustrated by two topics. The attention is concentrated on the manner of representation of abstract objects by the…

We find a one-to-one correspondence between full extrinsic symmetric spaces in (possibly degenerate) inner product spaces and certain algebraic objects called (weak) extrinsic symmetric triples. In particular, this yields a description of…

A geometric inequality among three triangles, originating in circle packing problems, is introduced. In order to prove it, we reduce the original formulation to the nonnegativity of a particular polynomial in four real indeterminates.…

In this paper the problem of finding a normal form of triangles and plane quadrilaterals up to similarity is considered. Several normal forms for triangles and a normal form for quadrilaterals of special case are described. Normal forms of…

In this paper, a geometric interpretation is provided of a new rational Landen transformation. The convergence of its iterates is also established.

We derive some, seemingly new, curious additive relations in the Pascal triangle. They arise in summing up the numbers in the triangle along some vertical line up to some place.

Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: $${n \brack k}_{q} {}_3\phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]\quad\textrm{and}\quad q^{(n-p)p}\qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3\phi_2[…

Here we give a procedure to construct a reciprocal matrix for which the right and entrywise inverse left Perron eigenvectors have any pair of given orders. An explicit example when the matrix is of size 4 is presented. In particular, it…

A positive integer $N$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a $\ta$-triangle $(a,b,c)$ with rational sides for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $N \sqrt{r^2-s^2}$, where $\theta \in (0,…

The right triangles represented in the Plimpton 322 data have integer sides $(a, b, d)$ with $a < b < d$, by inspecting the data we propose $b=M\,Q_{M}$ with $M,Q_{M}$ positive integers. In this way we present a new data-driven family of…

In this paper, we reconstruct Euclid's theory of similar triangles, as developed in Book VI of the \textit{Elements}, along with its 20th-century counterparts, formulated within the systems of Hilbert, Birkhoff, Borsuk and Szmielew, Millman…

We present novel fully-symmetric quadrature rules with positive weights and strictly interior nodes of degrees up to 84 on triangles and 40 on tetrahedra. Initial guesses for solving the nonlinear systems of equations needed to derive…

In this paper we will do the following: (1) show how to geometrically define multiplication, using only basic plane geometry, independently of area and any notion of similar triangles; (2) prove all the properties of multiplication using…
