Extrapolation Methods for Oscillatory Infinite Integrals

The non-linear transformations for accelerating the convergenceof slowly convergent infinite integrals due to Levin & Sidi(1975) are modified in two ways. These modifications enableone to evaluate accurately some oscillatory infinite integralswith less work. Special emphasis is placed on the evaluationof Fourier and Hankel transforms and some simple algorithmsfor them are given. Convergence properties of these modificationsare analysed in some detail and powerful convergence theoremsare proved for certain cases including those of the Fourierand Hankel transforms treated here. Several numerical examplesare also supplied.     

Whittaker vectors and conical vectors

A holomorphic family of differential operators of infinite order is constructed that transforms conical vectors for principal series representations of quasi-split, linear, semi-simple Lie groups into Whittaker vectors. Using this transform, it is shown that algebraic Whittaker vectors (as studied by Kostant) extend to ultradistributions of Gevrey type on principal series representations. For each element of the small Weyl group, a meromorphic family of Whittaker vectors is constructed from this transform and the Kunze-Stein intertwining integrals. An explict formula is derived for the smooth Whittaker vector (discovered by Jacquet), in terms of these families of ultradistribution Whittaker vectors. In particular, this gives new proofs of Jacquet's analytic continuation of the smooth Whittaker vector and its functional equation (Jacquet and Schiffman). Applications of the transform are also given to the theory of Verma modules.     

Variable exponent Hardy spaces associated with discrete Laplacians on graphs

In this paper we develop the theory of variable exponent Hardy spaces associated with discrete Laplacians on infinite graphs. Our Hardy spaces are defined by square integrals, atomic and molecular decompositions. Also we study boundedness properties of Littlewood-Paley functions, Riesz transforms, and spectral multipliers for discrete Laplacians on variable exponent Hardy spaces.     

Identities for the Hankel transform and their applications

In the present paper the authors show that iterations of the Hankel transform with Kν-transform is a constant multiple of the Widder transform. Using these iteration identities, several Parseval-Goldstein type theorems for these transforms are given. By making use of these results a number of new Goldstein type exchange identities are obtained for these and the Laplace transform. The identities proven in this paper are shown to give rise to useful corollaries for evaluating infinite integrals of special functions. Some examples are also given as illustration of the results presented here.     

Generalized Integral Transforms with the Homotopy Perturbation Method

This paper applies He’s homotopy perturbation method to compute a large variety of integral transforms. The Esscher, Fourier, Hankel, Laplace, Mellin and Stieljes integrals transforms are particular cases of our generalized integral transform. Our method is of practical importance in order to derive new integration formulae, to approximate certain difficult integrals as well as to calculate the expectation of certain nonlinear functions of random variable.     

Higher-Dimensional Integrable Newton Systems with Quadratic Integrals of Motion

Newton systems     , with integrals of motion quadratic in velocities, are considered. We show that if such a system admits two quadratic integrals of motion of the so-called cofactor type , then it has in fact n quadratic integrals of motion and can be embedded into a  (2 n + 1)  -dimensional bi-Hamiltonian system, which under some non-degeneracy assumptions is completely integrable. The majority of these cofactor pair Newton systems are new, but they also include conservative systems with elliptic and parabolic separable potentials, as well as many integrable Newton systems previously derived from soliton equations. We explain the connection between cofactor pair systems and solutions of a certain system of second-order linear PDEs (the fundamental equations ), and use this to recursively construct infinite families of cofactor pair systems.     

A new way to evaluate the Probability and Fresnel integrals

In this article, we show how Laplace Transform may be used to evaluate variety of nontrivial improper integrals, including Probability and Fresnel integrals. The algorithm we have developed here to evaluate Probability, Fresnel and other similar integrals seems to be new. This method transforms the evaluation of certain improper integrals into evaluation of improper integrals of the corresponding Laplace transform, which in many cases are much easier.     

Asymptotic expansions of integrals of two Bessel functions via the generalized hypergeometric and Meijer functions

Asymptotic expansions of certain finite and infinite integrals involving products of two Bessel functions of the first kind are obtained by using the generalized hypergeometric and Meijer functions. The Bessel functions involved are of arbitrary (generally different) orders, but of the same argument containing a parameter which tends to infinity. These types of integrals arise in various contexts, including wave scattering and crystallography, and are of general mathematical interest being related to the Riemann—Liouville and Hankel integrals. The results complete the asymptotic expansions derived previously by two different methods — a straightforward approach and the Mellin-transform technique. These asymptotic expansions supply practical algorithms for computing the integrals. The leading terms explicitly provide valuable analytical insight into the high-frequency behavior of the solutions to the wave-scattering problems.     

Homological integral of Hopf algebras

The left and right homological integrals are introduced for a large class of infinite dimensional Hopf algebras. Using the homological integrals we prove a version of Maschke's theorem for infinite dimensional Hopf algebras. The generalization of Maschke's theorem and homological integrals are the keys to studying noetherian regular Hopf algebras of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension one.

     

Sharp two-weight inequalities for singular integrals, with applications to the Hilbert transform and the Sarason conjecture

We prove two-weight norm inequalities for Calderón-Zygmund singular integrals that are sharp for the Hilbert transform and for the Riesz transforms. In addition, we give results for the dyadic square function and for commutators of singular integrals. As an application we give new results for the Sarason conjecture on the product of unbounded Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces.     

A new class of Laplace inverses and their applications

In this work, a new class of inverse Laplace transforms of exponential functions involving nested square roots are determined. Using these new inverses and other techniques from Laplace transform theory, a new class of three-parameter definite integrals, that yield to exact evaluation, is generated. It is shown that these integrals evaluate to simple closed-form expressions. These results are then verified using independent analytical techniques. Special and limiting cases of the parameters are investigated, some of which yield well-known expressions from classical analysis. Asymptotic results for these integrals and inverses are also given. In addition, a representation of the complementary error function as a limit is presented. Last, some aspects concerning the numerical implementation of these inverses are discussed and several applications in continuum mechanics are noted.     

Magnetoelectroelastodynamic interaction of multiple arbitrarily oriented planar cracks

The problem of multiple arbitrarily oriented planar cracks in an infinite magnetoelectroelastic space under dynamic loadings is considered. An explicit solution to the problem is given in the Laplace transform domain in terms of suitable exponential Fourier integral representations. The unknown functions in the Fourier integrals are directly related to the Laplace transform of the jumps in the displacements, electric potential and magnetic potential across opposite crack faces and are to be determined by solving a system of hypersingular integral equations. Once the hypersingular integral equations are solved, the displacements, electric potential, magnetic potential and other quantities of interest such as the crack tip intensity factors may be easily computed in the Laplace transform domain and recovered in the physical space with the help of a suitable algorithm for inverting Laplace transforms.     

Representations of the optimal filter in the context of nonlinear filtering of random fields with fractional noise

The problem of nonlinear filtering of multiparameter random fields, observed in the presence of a long-range dependent spatial noise, is considered. When the observation noise is modelled by a persistent fractional Wiener sheet, several pathwise representations of the optimal filter are derived. The representations involve series of multiple stochastic integrals of different types and are particularly important since the evolution equations, satisfied by the best mean-square estimate of the signal random field, have a complicated analytical structure and fail to be proper (measure-valued) stochastic partial differential equations. Several of the above optimal filter representations involve a new family of strong martingale transforms associated to the multiparameter fractional Brownian sheet; the latter martingale family is of independent interest in fractional stochastic calculus of multiparameter random fields.     

Ordering of risks and ruin probabilities

Upper and lower bounds for the ruin probability over infinite time in the classical actuarial risk model are derived (usual independence and equidistribution assumptions, the claim number process being Poisson). Some recent results on bounds for certain classes of integrals are adapted to the case of a convolution transform in order to derive applicable (from the actuarial point of view) bounds.     

Tribasic integrals and identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type

Some integrals involving three bases are evaluated as infinite products using complex analysis. Many special cases of these integrals may be evaluated in another way to find infinite sum representations for these infinite products. The resulting identities are identities of Rogers-Ramanujan type. Some integer partition interpretations of these identities are given. Generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan type identities involving polynomials are given again as corollaries of integral evaluations.

     

A note on the unsteady flow of a generalized second-grade fluid through a circular cylinder subject to a time dependent shear stress

The unsteady flow of a generalized second-grade fluid through an infinite straight circular cylinder is considered. The flow of the fluid is due to the longitudinal time dependent shear stress that is prescribed on the boundary of the cylinder. The fractional calculus approach in the governing equation corresponding to a second-grade fluid is introduced. The velocity field and the resulting shear stress are obtained by means of the finite Hankel and Laplace transforms. In order to avoid lengthy calculations of residues and contour integrals, the discrete inverse Laplace transform method is used. The corresponding solutions for ordinary second-grade and Newtonian fluids, performing the same motion, are obtained as limiting cases of our general solutions. Finally, the influence of the material constants and of the fractional parameter on the velocity and shear stress variations is underlined by graphical illustrations.     

An integral involving generalized function of two variables

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate an infinite integral whose integrand is a product of the H-function and a double Mellin-Barnes type contour integral. The integral evaluated here is one of the most general integrals known so far and includes a large number of new and recently obtained interesting integrals as its particular cases. The Laplace-transform of the double Mellin-Barnes type contour integral has also been obtained as a special case of our main result and is likely to prove quite useful in solving certain boundary value problems.     

An invariant trace formula for the universal covering group of SL(2,ℝ)

Automorphic forms of arbitrary real weight can be considered as functions on the universal covering group of SL(2, ). In this situation, we prove an invariant form of the Selberg trace formula for Hecke operators. For this purpose, the Fourier transforms of weightet orbital integrals, obtained by J. Arthur, R. Herb and P. Sally, jr., are explicitly calculated. Our formula does not follow from Arthur's invariant trace formula, since the group has infinite centre, and vector-valued automorphic forms with respect to non-congruence lattices are considered.     

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.     

Fast integral equation solver for Maxwell’s equations in layered media with FMM for Bessel functions

The paper presents a new fast integral equation solver for Maxwell’s equations in 3-D layered media. First, the spectral domain dyadic Green’s function is derived, and the 0-th and the 1-st order Hankel transforms or Sommerfeld-type integrals are used to recover all components of the dyadic Green’s function in real space. The Hankel transforms are performed with the adaptive generalized Gaussian quadrature points and window functions to minimize the computational cost. Subsequently, a fast integral equation solver with O(N _z ² N _x N _y log(N _x N _y )) in layered media is developed by rewriting the layered media integral operator in terms of Hankel transforms and using the new fast multipole method for the n-th order Bessel function in 2-D. Computational cost and parallel efficiency of the new algorithm are presented.
