AbstractWe define an integral function Iμ(α, x; a, b) for non-negative integral values of μ byIt is proved that Iμ(α, x; a, b) satisfies a functional recurrence relation which is exploited to find a closed form evaluation of some incomplete integrals. New integral representations of the exponential integral and complementary error functions are found as special cases.

1. The Gontcharoff interpolation serieswherehas been studied in various special cases. For example, if an = a0 (all n), (1.0) reduces to the Taylor expansion of F(z). If an = (−1)n, J. M. Whittaker showed that the series (1.0) converges to F(z) provided F(z) is an integral function whose maximum modulus satisfiesthe constant ¼π being the “best possible”. In the case |an| ≤ 1, I have shown that the series converges to F(z) provided F(z) is an integral function whose maximum modulus satisfiesand that while ·7259 is not the “best possible” constant here, it cannot be replaced by a number as great as ·7378.

We consider the following boundary value problemwhere λ > 0 and 1 ≤ p ≤ n – 1 is fixed. The values of λ are characterized so that the boundary value problem has a positive solution. Further, for the case λ = 1 we offer criteria for the existence of two positive solutions of the boundary value problem. Upper and lower bounds for these positive solutions are also established for special cases. Several examples are included to dwell upon the importance of the results obtained.

We consider the Dirac equation given by with initial condition y1 (0) cos α + y2(0) sin α = 0, α ε [0; π ) and suppose the equation is in the limit-point case at infinity. Using to denote the derivative of the corresponding spectral function, a formula for is given when is known and positive for three distinct values of α. In general, if is known and positive for only two distinct values of α, then is shown to be one of two possibilities. However, in special cases of the Dirac equation, can be uniquely determined given for only two values of α.

We define infinitely many sequences of integers one sequence for each positive integer k ≦ 2 by(1.1)where are the k-th roots of unity and (E(k))n is replaced by En(k) after multiplying out. An immediate consequence of (1.1) is(1.2)Therefore, we are interested in numbers of the form Esk(k) (s = 0, 1, 2, …; k = 2, 3, …).Some special cases have been considered in the literature. For k = 2, we obtain the Euler numbers (see e.g. [8]). The case k = 3 is considered briefly by D. H. Lehmer [7], and the case k = 4 by Leeming [6] and Carlitz ([1]and [2]).

In this note we shall discuss certain matrix methods of summation, though otherwise, §1 and §2 are not connected.In this section, we shall study some properties of the method (Bh) where we say the series ∑uv is summable (Bh) whenThe method (Bh) has been studied in special cases airsing from different values of h by Rogosinski [11; 12], Bernstein [2], and more recently by Karamata [3; 4].

§ 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.

Orthonormal sequences, o.n. s., {ϕn} defined on [0,1] and satisfying1have been studied in [3] and [1]. One of the objects of this paper is to indicate that the methods used to study such o. n. s. can be used for a much wider class, and that, although there seems to be no super theorem to cover all cases, a knowledge of the results and methods of proof in some fairly broad special cases enables one to state and prove theorems for other classes of o. n. s.

Some years ago Lambe and Ward (1) and Erdélyi (2) obtained integral equations for Heun polynomials and Heun functions. The integral equations discussed by these authors were of the formFurther, as is well known, the Heun equation includes, among its special cases, Lamé's equation and Mathieu's equation and so (1.1) may be considered a generalisation of the integral equations satisfied by Lamé polynomials and Mathieu functions. However, integral equations of the type (1.1) are not the only ones satisfied by Lamé polynomials; Arscott (3) discussed a class of non- linear integral equations associated with these functions. This paper then is concerned with discussing the existence of non-linear integral equations satisfied by solutions of Heun's equation.

In the present note we shall obtain the expansion in a series of Legendre functions of the second kind of an integral function φ (ω) represented by Laplace's integralwhere f (x) is an analytic function of x, regular in the circlewhere an are constants and qn (ω) = in+1Qn (iω).
