Degree three identities

Out approach differs significantly from the approaches used by other mathematicians because we introduce a canonical form for identities. It is straightforward to place an identity in canoni-cal form, and, once the identities are in canonical form, it is easy to determine if they are equivalent, quasi-equivalent, or if one implies the other. This approach is used to identify the dis-tinct minimal degree three identities under the equivalence rela-tion of quasi-equivalence. We determine the exact conditions when almost left alternativity implies almost alternativity and when almost left alternativity implies power associativity. We give a method to decide when an algehra satisfying degree three identi-ties is almost alternati.     

Two identities for the Bernoulli–Euler numbers

Two identities for the Bernoulli and for the Euler numbers are derived. These identities involve two special cases of central combinatorial numbers. The approach is based on a set of differential identities for the powers of the secant. Generalizations of the Mittag–Leffler series for the secant are introduced and used to obtain closed-form expressions for the coefficients.     

Extended Zeilberger's algorithm for identities on Bernoulli and Euler polynomials

We present a computer algebra approach to proving identities on Bernoulli polynomials and Euler polynomials by using the extended Zeilberger's algorithm given by Chen, Hou and Mu. The key idea is to use the contour integral definitions of the Bernoulli and Euler numbers to establish recurrence relations on the integrands. Such recurrence relations have certain parameter free properties which lead to the required identities without computing the integrals. Furthermore two new identities on Bernoulli numbers are derived.     

Symmetry of minimizers for some nonlocal variational problems

We present a new approach to study the symmetry of minimizers for a large class of nonlocal variational problems. This approach which generalizes the Reflection method is based on the existence of some integral identities. We study the identities that lead to symmetry results, the functionals that can be considered and the function spaces that can be used. Then we use our method to prove the symmetry of minimizers for a class of variational problems involving the fractional powers of Laplacian, for the generalized Choquard functional and for the standing waves of the Davey-Stewartson equation.     

Identities for stopped markov chains and their applications

In this paper we obtain identities for some stopped Markov chains. These identities give a unified approach to many problems in optimal stopping of a Markovian sequence, extinction probability of a Markovian branching process and martingale theory.     

Vertex Algebras and Combinatorial Identities

In the 1980's, J. Lepowsky and R. Wilson gave a Lie-theoretic interpretation of Rogers–Ramanujan identities in terms of level 3 representations of affine Lie algebra sl(2,C)~. When applied to other representations and affine Lie algebras, Lepowsky and Wilson's approach yielded a series of other combinatorial identities of the Rogers–Ramanujan type. At about the same time, R. Baxter rediscovered Rogers–Ramanujan identities within the context of statistical mechanics. The work of R. Baxter initiated another line of research which yielded numerous combinatorial and analytic generalizations of Rogers–Ramanujan identities. In this note, we describe some ideas and results related to Lepowsky and Wilson's approach and indicate the connections with some results in combinatorics and statistical physics.     

On identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type

An elementary approach to a number of identities of the Rogers-Ramanujan type is given. It is shown that analytic formulas like, e.g., the Rogers-Ramanujan, the Rogers-Selberg and the Göllnitz-Gordon identities can be obtained essentially as consequences of the q-binomial theorem and the q-Vandermonde formula.     

Analytic and arithmetic methods in Liouville's identities

The history of Liouville's identities is of remarkable interest especially as far as the methods used to prove them are concerned. In Liouville's opinion, the identities had to be proved by merely arithmetic considerations. Some mathematicians, such as Uspensky, developed Liouville's approach and used elementary methods. However, other mathematicians (among them Nazimoff and Bell) followed Hermite's suggestions of deriving Liouville's identities from the theory of elliptic functions: most of them thought that analytic methods were preferable since they allowed one to discover new identities (and not only to prove known ones).     

Generalizations of two identities of Guo and Yang

In this paper, we provide generalizations of two identities of Guo and Yang [2] for the q-binomial coe?cients. This approach allows us to derive new convolution identities for the complete and elementary symmetric functions. New identities involving q-binomial coe?cients are obtained as very special cases of these results. A new relationship between restricted partitions and restricted partitions into parts of two kinds is derived in this context.     

A social-event based approach to sentiment analysis of identities and behaviors in text

We describe a new methodology to infer sentiments held toward identities and behaviors from social events that we extract from a large corpus of newspaper text. Our approach draws on affect control theory, a mathematical model of how sentiment is encoded in social events and culturally shared views toward identities and behaviors. While most sentiment analysis approaches evaluate concepts on a single, evaluative dimension, our work extracts a three-dimensional sentiment “profile” for each concept. We can also infer when multiple sentiment profiles for a concept are likely to exist. We provide a case study of a large newspaper corpus on the Arab Spring, which helps to validate our approach.     

A three-term theta function identity and its applications

In this paper, we establish a three-term theta function identity using the complex variable theory of elliptic functions. This simple identity in form turns out to be quite useful and it is a common origin of many important theta function identities. From which the quintuple product identity and one general theta function identity related to the modular equations of the fifth order and many other interesting theta function identities are derived. We also give a new proof of the addition theorem for the Weierstrass elliptic function ℘. An identity involving the products of four theta functions is given and from which one theta function identity by McCullough and Shen is derived. The quintuple product identity is used to derive some Eisenstein series identities found in Ramanujan's lost notebook and our approach is different from that of Berndt and Yee. The proofs are self contained and elementary.     

Oscillation properties of solutions of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations

Oscillations of solutions of a class of nonlinear parabolic equations are investigated, and the unboundedness of solutions is also studied as corollaries. Our approach is to employ the modifications of Picone-type identities for half-linear elliptic operators.

Vanishing integrals for Hall–Littlewood polynomials

It is well known that if one integrates a Schur function indexed by a partition λ over the symplectic (resp. orthogonal) group, the integral vanishes unless all parts of λ have even multiplicity (resp. all parts of λ are even). In a recent paper of Rains and Vazirani, Macdonald polynomial generalizations of these identities and several others were developed and proved using Hecke algebra techniques. However, at q = 0 (the Hall–Littlewood level), these approaches do not work, although one can obtain the results by taking the appropriate limit. In this paper, we develop a direct approach for dealing with this special case. This technique allows us to prove some identities that were not amenable to the Hecke algebra approach. Moreover, we are able to generalize some of the identities by introducing extra parameters. This leads us to a finite-dimensional analog of a recent result of Warnaar, which uses the Rogers–Szegő polynomials to unify some existing summation type formulas for Hall–Littlewood functions.     

Cardano's formula, square roots, Chebyshev polynomials and radicals

Nonstandard characterization of pseudovarieties

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the investigation of various approaches to characterizations of pseudovarieties of finite algebras. This note provides a new approach to the characterization of pseudovarieties of finite algebraic systems by identities of the nonstandard lower predicate language. The approach is based on principles of Robinson's nonstandard analysis.Presented by B. M. Schein.

Clifford Algebra, Spin Representation, and Rational Parameterization of Curves and Surfaces

The Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves are characterized by certain Pythagorean n-tuple identities in the polynomial ring, involving the derivatives of the curve coordinate functions. Such curves have many advantageous properties in computer aided geometric design. Thus far, PH curves have been studied in 2- or 3-dimensional Euclidean and Minkowski spaces. The characterization of PH curves in each of these contexts gives rise to different combinations of polynomials that satisfy further complicated identities. We present a novel approach to the Pythagorean hodograph curves, based on Clifford algebra methods, that unifies all known incarnations of PH curves into a single coherent framework. Furthermore, we discuss certain differential or algebraic geometric perspectives that arise from this new approach.
