New type Paley-Wiener theorems for the modified multidimensional Mellin transform

New type Paley-Wiener theorems for the modified multidimensional Mellin and inverse Mellin transforms are established. The supports of functions are described in terms of their modified Mellin (or inverse Mellin) transform without passing to the complexification. Acknowledgments and Notes.

Order statistics of the generalised multinomial measure

We study certain order statistics with respect to (probability) mass distributions of multinomial type on the unit interval. The asymptotic behaviour of the average minimum and, respectively, maximum value among \(n\) words chosen independently at random with respect to the corresponding probability measure is analysed. This is done by a combination of a method based on the Mellin transform and the depoissonisation technique.     

Applications of the Mellin transform in quantum calculus

In this paper, we study in quantum calculus the correspondence between poles of the q-Mellin transform (see [A. Fitouhi, N. Bettaibi, K. Brahim, The Mellin transform in Quantum Calculus, Constr. Approx. 23 (3) (2006) 305-323]) and the asymptotic behaviour of the original function at 0 and ∞. As applications, we give a new technique (in q-analysis) to derive the asymptotic expansion of some functions defined by q-integrals or by q-harmonic sums. Finally, a q-analogue of the Mellin-Perron formula is given.     

Mellin Transforms of Multivariate Rational Functions

This paper deals with Mellin transforms of rational functions g/f in several variables. We prove that the polar set of such a Mellin transform consists of finitely many families of parallel hyperplanes, with all planes in each such family being integral translates of a specific facial hyperplane of the Newton polytope of the denominator f. The Mellin transform is naturally related to the so-called coamoeba $\mathcal{A}'_{f}:=\mathrm{Arg}(Z_{f})$ , where Z _f is the zero locus of f and Arg denotes the mapping that takes each coordinate to its argument. In fact, each connected component of the complement of the coamoeba $\mathcal{A}'_{f}$ gives rise to a different Mellin transform. The dependence of the Mellin transform on the coefficients of f, and the relation to the theory of A-hypergeometric functions is also discussed in the paper.     

A direct approach to the mellin transform

The aim of this paper is to present an approach to the Mellin transform that is fully independent of Laplace or Fourier transform theory, in a systematic, unified form, containing the basic properties and major results under natural, minimal hypotheses upon the functions in questions. Cornerstones of the approach are two definitions of the transform, a local and global Mellin transform, the Mellin translation and convolution structure, in particular approximation-theoretical methods connected with the Mellin convolution singular integral enabling one to establish the Mellin inversion theory. Of special interest are the Mellin operators of differentiation and integration, more correctly of anti-differentiation, enabling one to establish the fundamental theorem of the differential and integral calculus in the Mellin frame. These two operators are different than those considered thus far and more general. They are of particular importance in solving differential and integral equations. As applications, the wave equation onℝ ₊ × ℝ₊ and the heat equation in a semi-infinite rod are considered in detail. The paper is written in part from an historical, survey-type perspective.     

Precise Asymptotic Approximations for Kernels Corresponding to Lévy Processes

By using basic complex analysis techniques, we obtain precise asymptotic approximations for kernels corresponding to symmetric α-stable processes and their fractional derivatives. We use the deep connection between the decay of kernels and singularities of the Mellin transforms. The key point of the method is to transform the multi-dimensional integral to the contour integral representation. We then express the integrand as a combination of gamma functions so that we can easily find all poles of the integrand. We obtain various asymtotics of the kernels by using Cauchys Residue Theorem with shifting contour integration. As a byproduct, exact coefficients are also obtained. We apply this method to general Lévy processes whose characteristic functions are radial and satisfy some regularity and size conditions. Our approach is based on the Fourier analytic point of view.     

A Heat Kernel Associated to Ramanujan's Tau Function

We prove a conjecture of Zagier, that the inverse Mellin transform of the symmetric square L-function attached to Ramanujan's tau function has an asymptotic expansion in terms of the zeros of the Riemann function.     

SCALE-INVARIANT SOLUTION FOR FRACTIONAL ANOMALOUS DIFFUSION EOUATION

Fractional diffusion equation for transport phenomena in fractal media is an integro-partial differential equation. For solving the problem of this kind of equation the invariants of the group of scaling transformations are given and then used for deriving the integro-ordinary differential equation for the scale-invariant solution. With the help of Mellin transform the scale-invariant solution is obtained in terms of Fox functions. And the series and asymptotic representations for the solution are considered.     

The asymptotic distribution of the diameter of a random mapping

The asymptotic distribution of the diameter of the digraph of a uniformly distributed random mapping of an n-element set to itself is represented as the distribution of a functional of a reflecting Brownian bridge. This yields a formula for the Mellin transform of the asymptotic distribution, generalizing the evaluation of its mean by Flajolet and Odlyzko (1990). The methodology should be applicable to other characteristics of random mappings. To cite this article: D. Aldous, J. Pitman, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 334 (2002) 1021–1024.     

Torsion of a circular cone with static and dynamic loading

Integral transformation methods—the Mellin transform for statics and the Lebedev-Kontorovich transform for dynamics—are used to construct analytic solutions of the problem of the torsion of an elastic circular cone. Assuming that external forces are concentrated in the neighbourhood of the vertex of the cone, the asymptotic behaviour of the far field is investigated. It is shown that the leading term of the asymptotic expansion is governed by the magnitude of the moment of the external forces, so that the St Venant principle is satisfied in the cases under consideration.     

On asymptotics of the q-exponential and q-gamma functions

In this work we present a derivation for the complete asymptotic expansions of Euler?s q-exponential function and Jackson?s q-gamma function via Mellin transform. These formulas are valid everywhere, uniformly on any compact subset of the complex plane.     

The Mellin–Parseval formula and its interconnections with the exponential sampling theorem of optical physics

In this paper, we establish a Mellin version of the classical Parseval formula of Fourier analysis in the case of Mellin bandlimited functions, and its equivalence with the exponential sampling formula (ESF) of signal analysis, in which the samples are not equally spaced apart as in the classical Shannon theorem, but exponentially spaced. Two quite different examples are given illustrating the truncation error in the ESF. We employ Mellin transform methods for square-integrable functions.     

Words with a generalized restricted growth property

Words where each new letter (natural number) can never be too large, compared to the ones that were seen already, are enumerated. The letters follow the geometric distribution. Also, the maximal letter in such words is studied. The asymptotic answers involve small periodic oscillations. The methods include a chain of techniques: exponential generating function, Poisson generating function, Mellin transform, depoissonization.     

Modular-type relations associated to the Rankin–Selberg <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-function

Hafner and Stopple proved a conjecture of Zagier relating to the asymptotic behaviour of the inverse Mellin transform of the symmetric square L-function associated with the Ramanujan tau function. In this paper, we prove a similar result for any cusp form over the full modular group.     

Mellin analysis and its basic associated metric—applications to sampling theory

In this paper a notion of functional “distance” in the Mellin transform setting is introduced and a general representation formula is obtained for it. Also, a determination of the distance is given in terms of Lipschitz classes and Mellin–Sobolev spaces. Finally applications to approximate versions of certain basic relations valid for Mellin band-limited functions are studied in details.     

The almost equivalence of pairwise and mutual independence and the duality with exchangeability

For a large collection of random variables in an ideal setting, pairwise independence is shown to be almost equivalent to mutual independence. An asymptotic interpretation of this fact shows the equivalence of asymptotic pairwise independence and asymptotic mutual independence for a triangular array (or a sequence) of random variables. Similar equivalence is also presented for uncorrelatedness and orthogonality as well as for the constancy of joint moment functions and exchangeability. General unification of multiplicative properties for random variables are obtained. The duality between independence and exchangeability is established through the random variables and sample functions in a process. Implications in other areas are also discussed, which include a justification for the use of mutually independent random variables derived from sequential draws where the underlying population only satisfies a version of weak dependence. Macroscopic stability of some mass phenomena in economics is also characterized via almost mutual independence. It is also pointed out that the unit interval can be used to index random variables in the ideal setting, provided that it is endowed together with some sample space a suitable larger measure structure.

Spline regularization of numerical inversion of Mellin transform

A method is described for inverting the Mellin transform which uses an expansion in Laguerre polynomials and converts the Mellin transform to the Laplace transform, then the Laplace transform is converted to the first kind convolution integral equation by a suitable substitution. The integral equation so obtained is an ill-posed problem and we use the spline regularization to solve it. The performance of the method is illustrated by the inversion of the test functions available in the literature [J. Inst. Math. & Appl. 20 (1977), p. 73], [J. Math. Comp. 53 (1989), p. 589], [J. Sci. Stat. Comp. 4 (1983), p. 164]. The effectiveness of the method is shown by results obtained demonstrated by means of tables and diagrams.     

Moments of distributions related to digital expansions

The paper studies certain (probability) measures of binomial type defined in a recursive way on the unit interval. These measures are related to the sum-of-digit function and similar quantities. In particular, we undertake an asymptotic analysis of the moments of the corresponding distributions. This is done by a combination of a method based on the Mellin transform and the depoissonisation technique.

On the orthogonality of the MacDonald's functions

A proof of an orthogonality relation for the MacDonald's functions with identical arguments but unequal complex lower indices is presented. The orthogonality is derived first via a heuristic approach based on the Mehler–Fock integral transform of the MacDonald's functions, and then proved rigorously using a polynomial approximation procedure.
