§ 1. The object of this note is to discuss the formulathe integral being supposed convergent for certain ranges of values of x and z. The contour is such that the poles of Γ(– s)lie to its right and the other poles of the integrand to its left. It will be seen that all the Pincherle-Mellin-Barnes integrals are particular cases of this formula.

Identity Theorem

There appear to be two main approaches for developing complex splines. One of these, which has been in use for quite some time, consists in defining splines on the boundary of a given region which are then extended into the interior by Cauchy's integral formula (see e.g. [1]). The other approach, which is of a more recent origin, is motivated in spirit by the theory of finite elements (see e.g. [10], p. 320) and is contained in [8] and [9]. Observing that the foregoing extension into the interior is not easy to execute numerically, certain continuous piecewise non-holomorphic functions, called complex planar splines have been studied in [8] and [9]. The choice of non-holomorphic functions is justified, since if we take the pieces to be holomorphic functions like polynomials, then by the well known identity theorem ([5], p. 132, theorem 60) the continuity of such a piecewise function implies that all the pieces represent just one holomorphic function. Thus, we shall consider polynomials in z and its conjugate z¯ of the formwhich are generally non-holomorphic functions. The numberwill be called the degree of q. For simplicity we also write q(z) for q(z, z¯).

In a recent paper (these Proceedings (2), 6 (1939), 75–8), C. G. Lambe established, and gave some applications of, the formulain which Ds is the symbol for the derivative of fractional order s. Lambe's proof of (1) is not quite rigorous and it does not bring out the conditions which have to be imposed upon f(x) in order to make (1) true. Furthermore this proof does not give any evidence as to the definition of fractional derivative which is to be used in connection with (1).

When thio-urea is treated with suitable oxidising agents in presence of acids, salts are formed corresponding to the general formula (CSN2H4)2X2:—Of these salts the di-nitrate is very sparingly soluble, and is precipitated on the addition of nitric acid or a nitrate to solutions of the other salts. The salts, as a class, are not very stable, and their solutions decompose, especially on warming, with formation of sulphur, thio-urea, cyanamide, and free acid. A corresponding decomposition results immediately on the addition of alkali, and this constitutes a very characteristic reaction for these salts.

Throughout this note we shall consider a fixed polynomial with complex coefficients and of degree n ≥ 2. Its zeros will be denoted by ξ1, ξ2, …, ξn where the numbering is such that Making use of Jensen's integral formula, Mahler (4) showed that, for l ≥ k < n, A slightly weaker result had been established by Feldman in an earlier publication (2). Mahler's inequality (1) is of importance in the study of transcendental numbers, and our first object is to sharpen his bound by proving the following result.

Let ‘ϕ’, ‘χ’, and ‘ψ’ be variables ranging over functions from the sentence letters P0, P1, … Pn, … of (propositional) modal logic to sentences of P(eano) Arithmetic), and for each sentence A of modal logic, inductively define Aϕ by[and similarly for other nonmodal propositional connectives]; andwhere Bew(x) is the standard provability predicate for PA and ⌈F⌉ is the PA numeral for the Gödel number of the formula F of PA. Then for any ϕ, (−□⊥)ϕ = −Bew(⌈⊥⌉), which is the consistency assertion for PA; a sentence S is undecidable in PA iff both and , where ϕ(p0) = S. If ψ(p0) is the undecidable sentence constructed by Gödel, then ⊬PA (−□⊥→ −□p0 & − □ − p0)ψ and ⊢PA(P0 ↔ −□⊥)ψ. However, if ψ(p0) is the undecidable sentence constructed by Rosser, then the situation is the other way around: ⊬PA(P0 ↔ −□⊥)ψ and ⊢PA (−□⊥→ −□−p0 & −□−p0)ψ. We call a sentence S of PA extremely undecidable if for all modal sentences A containing no sentence letter other than p0, if for some ψ, ⊬PAAψ, then ⊬PAAϕ, where ϕ(p0) = S. (So, roughly speaking, a sentence is extremely undecidable if it can be proved to have only those modal-logically characterizable properties that every sentence can be proved to have.) Thus extremely undecidable sentences are undecidable, but neither the Godel nor the Rosser sentence is extremely undecidable. It will follow at once from the main theorem of this paper that there are infinitely many inequivalent extremely undecidable sentences.

Integral transformations analogous to the Nörlund means have been introduced and investigated by Kuttner, Knopp and Vanderburg(6), (5), (4). It is known that with any regular Nörlund mean (N, p) there is associated a functionregular for |z| < 1, and if we have two Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r), where (N, pr is regular, while the function is regular for |z| ≤ 1 and different) from zero at z = 1, then q(z) = r(z)p(z) belongs to a regular Nörlund mean (N, q). Concerning Nörlund means Peyerimhoff(7) and Miesner (3) have recently obtained the relation between the convergence fields of the Nörlund means (N, p) and (N, r) on the one hand and the convergence field of the Nörlund mean (N, q) on the other hand.

It is well known that no rational number is approximable to order higher than 1. Roth [3] showed that an algebraic number is not approximable to order greater than 2. On the other hand it is easy to construct numbers, the Liouville numbers, which are approximable to any order (see [2], p. 162). We are led to the question, “Let Nn(α, β) denote the number of distinct rational points with denominators ≦ n contained in an interval (α, β). What is the behaviour of Nn(α, + 1/n) as α varies on the real line?” We shall prove that and that there are “compressions” and “rarefactions” of rational points on the real line.

The general result of these strictly preliminary experiments appears to show that for sparks not exceeding a decimetre in length (L), taken in air at different pressures (P), between two metal balls of 7mm·5 radius, the requisite potential (V), is expressed by the formulaThe Holtz machine employed is a double one, made by Ruhmkorff, and it was used with its small Leyden jars attached. The measurements had to be made with a divided-ring electrometer, so that two insulated balls, at a considerable distance from one another, were connected, one with the machine, the other with the electrometer.

The refraction equation sin i == μ sin r, though simple in itself, is apt to give rise, in problems connected with refraction, to formulæ too involved for arithmetical computation. In such cases it may be necessary to trace the course through the optical system in question of a certain number of arbitrarily chosen rays, and thence to find the course of the other rays by interpolation. Thelinkage about to be described affords a rapid and accurate means of determining the paths of the rays through any optical system.

If the positive integral powers of be taken, and the expansion of each be separated into two parts, rational and irrational, thus—then the ratio of the rational portion to the coefficient of in the other portion is approximately equal to , the convergence being perfect when the power of the binomial is infinite. This is the simplest case of a theorem discovered by the late Dr Sang, and enunciated by him as the result of a process of induction in his paper “On the Extension of Brouncker's Method to the Comparison of several Magnitudes” (Proc. Roy. Soc. Edin., vol. xviii. p. 341, 1890–91).
