Singular Sturm comparison theorems

Sturm's comparison theorem is discussed for differential equations whose coefficients are continuous in an open, finite or infinite interval, but the coefficients cannot necessarily be extended continuously to the boundary points of the interval.     

Discrete Sturm comparison theorems on finite and infinite intervals

Discrete orthogonal polynomials on Gauss–Lobatto Chebyshev nodes

In this paper, we present explicit formulas for discrete orthogonal polynomials over the so-called Gauss–Lobatto Chebyshev points. In particular, this allows us to compute the coefficient in the three-terms recurrence relation and the explicit formulas for the discrete inner product. The paper also contains numerical examples related to the least-squares problems.

Sturm theorems for degenerate elliptic equations

We employ a version of the Picone Identity, suitable for the -Laplacean, to obtain a Sturm Comparison Theorem for generalized solutions. This answers a question posed by Dunninger in 1995.

     

Functional inequalities involving special functions

Let up(x) be the generalized and normalized Bessel function depending on parameters b,c,p and let σ(r)=up(1−r²)/up(r²), r∈(0,1). Motivated by an open problem of Anderson, Vamanamurthy, and Vuorinen we prove that for all r₁,r₂∈(0,1) for certain conditions on the parameters b,c,p.     

Sturm‐Picone comparison theorems for nonlinear impulsive differential equations with discontinuous solutions

The nonlinear versions of Sturm‐Picone comparison theorem as well as Leighton's variational lemma and Leighton's theorem for regular and singular nonlinear impulsive differential equations with discontinuous solutions having fixed moments of impulse actions are established. Although discontinuity of the solutions causes some difficulties, these new comparison theorems cover the old ones where impulse effects are dropped.     

On some properties of polynomials related to hypergeometric modular forms

We find the discriminants, Galois groups, and prove the irreducibility of certain hypergeometric polynomials, which are closely related to modular forms and supersingular elliptic curves. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—33C45; Secondary—11F11     

A New Integral Involving the Product of Bessel Functions and Associated Laguerre Polynomials

A new result for integrals involving the product of Bessel functions and Associated Laguerre polynomials is obtained in terms of the hypergeometric function. Some special cases of the general integral lead to interesting finite and infinite series representations of hypergeometric functions.     

New families of generating functions for certain class of three-variable polynomials

Recently, Srivastava, Özarslan and Kaanoglu have introduced certain families of three and two variable polynomials, which include Lagrange and Lagrange-Hermite polynomials, and obtained families of two-sided linear generating functions between these families [H.M. Srivastava, M.A. Özarslan, C. Kaanoglu, Some families of generating functions for a certain class of three-variable polynomials, Integr. Transform. Spec. Funct. iFirst (2010) 1-12]. The main object of this investigation is to obtain new two-sided linear generating functions between these families by applying certain hypergeometric transformations. Furthermore, more general families of bilinear, bilateral, multilateral finite series relationships and generating functions are presented for them.     

Concentration inequalities and limit theorems for randomized sums

Concentration properties and an asymptotic behaviour of distributions of normalized and self-normalized sums are studied in the randomized model where the observation times are selected from prescribed consecutive integer intervals. Research supported in part by NSF Gr. No. 0405587     

Multiple Wilson and Jacobi–Piñeiro polynomials

We introduce multiple Wilson polynomials, which give a new example of multiple orthogonal polynomials (Hermite–Padé polynomials) of type II. These polynomials can be written as a Jacobi–Piñeiro transform, which is a generalization of the Jacobi transform for Wilson polynomials, found by Koornwinder. Here we need to introduce Jacobi and Jacobi–Piñeiro polynomials with complex parameters. Some explicit formulas are provided for both Jacobi–Piñeiro and multiple Wilson polynomials, one of them in terms of Kampé de Fériet series. Finally, we look at some limiting relations and construct a part of a multiple AT-Askey table.     

Functional inequalities involving special functions II

This paper is motivated by an open problem of Anderson, Vamanamurthy, and Vuorinen. We prove a chain of inequalities for hypergeometric functions, generalized and normalized Bessel functions, Kummer functions and for some general power series. Some particular cases and refinements are given.

Asymptotic analysis of the Krawtchouk polynomials by the WKB method

We analyze the Krawtchouk polynomials K _n (x,N,p,q) asymptotically. We use singular perturbation methods to analyze them for N→∞, with appropriate scalings of the two variables x and n. In particular, the WKB method and asymptotic matching are used. We obtain asymptotic approximations valid in the whole domain [0,N]×[0,N], involving some special functions. We give numerical examples showing the accuracy of our formulas.      

Short proofs of classical theorems

We give proofs of Ore's theorem on Hamilton circuits, Brooks' theorem on vertex coloring, and Vizing's theorem on edge coloring, as well as the Chvátal-Lovász theorem on semi-kernels, a theorem of Lu on spanning arborescences of tournaments, and a theorem of Gutin on diameters of orientations of graphs. These proofs, while not radically different from existing ones, are perhaps simpler and more natural. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 44: 159–165, 2003     

On Ramanujan asymptotic expansions and inequalities for hypergeometric functions

In this paper we first discuss refinement of the Ramunujan asymptotic expansion for the classical hypergeometric functionsF(a,b;c;x), c ≤a + b, near the singularityx = 1. Further, we obtain monotonous properties of the quotient of two hypergeometric functions and inequalities for certain combinations of them. Finally, we also solve an open problem of finding conditions ona, b > 0 such that 2F(−a,b;a +b;r ²) < (2−r ²)F(a,b;a +b;r ²) holds for all r∈(0,1).
