The cross-ratio foliation of binary quartic forms

We study the geometry of the 5-dimensional space of real homogeneous quartic forms in two variables, and the way it is foliated into GL₂()-orbits under linear changes of variable. In a suitable 3-dimensional cross-section, orbits of degenerate quartic forms (with zero discriminant) are determined by a singular ruled surface equipped with whiskers, the Holy Grail. Non-degenerate forms are classified by their J-invariant and we describe how the constant-J surfaces are draped around the skeleton of the Holy Grail. The results are of interest in Singularity Theory.     

On the representation of unity by binary cubic forms

If is a binary cubic form with integer coefficients such that has at least two distinct complex roots, then the equation possesses at most ten solutions in integers and , nine if has a nontrivial automorphism group. If, further, is reducible over , then this equation has at most solutions, unless is equivalent under -action to either or . The proofs of these results rely upon the method of Thue-Siegel as refined by Evertse, together with lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers and techniques from computational Diophantine approximation. Along the way, we completely solve all Thue equations for cubic and irreducible of positive discriminant . As corollaries, we obtain bounds for the number of solutions to more general cubic Thue equations of the form and to Mordell's equation , where and are nonzero integers.

Numerical computation of real or complex elliptic integrals

Algorithms for numerical computation of symmetric elliptic integrals of all three kinds are improved in several ways and extended to complex values of the variables (with some restrictions in the case of the integral of the third kind). Numerical check values, consistency checks, and relations to Legendre's integrals and Bulirsch's integrals are included.This work was supported by the Director of Energy Research, Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The Ames Laboratory is operated for the US Department of Energy by Iowa State University under Contract W-7405-ENG-82.     

New fractional integral formulas and kinetic model associated with the hypergeometric superhyperbolic sine function

In the paper, we consider some fractional integral formulas in terms of the Riemann–Liouville, Erdélyi–Kober type, and Weyl fractional integral operators and present the general fractional kinetic model involving the hypergeometric superhyperbolic sine function via the Gauss hypergeometric series.     

Values of binary linear forms at prime arguments

value of a given binary linear form at prime arguments. Let λ₁ and λ₂ be positive real numbers such that λ₁/λ₂ is irrational and algebraic. For any (C, c) well-spaced sequence V and δ>0, let E(V, X, δ) denote the number of υ∈V with υ≤X for which the inequality |λ1p1+λ2ρ2−υ|<υ−δ has no solution in primes p₁, p₂. It is shown that for any ε>0,we have E(V, X, δ) «max(X35+2δ+ε,X23+43δ+ε).

On solving general algebraic equations by integrals of elementary functions

We obtain an integral formula for a solution to a general algebraic equation. In this formula the integrand is an elementary function and integration is carried out over an interval. The advantage of this formula over the well-known Mellin formula is that the integral has a broader convergence domain. This circumstance makes it possible to describe the monodromy of a solution for trinomial equations.

The Dattoli-Srivastava conjectures concerning generating functions involving the harmonic numbers

In a recent paper Dattoli and Srivastava [3], by resorting to umbral calculus, conjectured several generating functions involving harmonic numbers. In this sequel to their work our aim is to rigorously demonstrate the truth of the Dattoli-Srivastava conjectures by making use of simple analytical arguments. In addition, one of these conjectures is stated and proved in more general form.     

Inequalities and monotonicity of ratios for generalized hypergeometric function

We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function of the form _q+1F_q(−x) with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Both lower and upper bounds agree with the value of _q+1F_q(−x) at the endpoints of positive semi-axis and are asymptotically precise at one of the endpoints. The inequalities are derived from a theorem asserting the monotony of the quotient of two generalized hypergeometric functions with shifted parameters. The proofs hinge on a generalized Stieltjes representation of the generalized hypergeometric function. This representation also provides yet another method to deduce the second Thomae relation for ₃F₂(1) and leads to an integral representations of ₄F₃(x) in terms of the Appell function F₃. In the last section of the paper we list some open questions and conjectures.
