We consider positivity of sum $\sum_{i=1}^np_if(x_i)$ involving convex functions of higher order. Analogous for integral $\int_a^bp(x)f(g(x))dx$ is also given. Representation of a function $f$ via the Fink identity and the Green function leads us to identities for which we obtain conditions for positivity of the mentioned sum and integral. We obtain bounds for integral remainders which occur in those identities as well as corresponding mean value theorems.

The question of non-uniqueness in boundary integral equation formu­lations of exterior problems for the Helmholtz equation has recently been resolved with the use of additional radiating multipoles in the definition of the Green function. The present note shows how this modification may be included in a rigorous formalism and presents an explicit choice of co­efficients of the added terms that is optimal in the sense of minimizing the least-squares difference between the modified and exact Green functions.

In this paper we present variety of Hardy-type inequalities and their refinements for an extension of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative operators. Moreover, we use an extension of extended Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative and modified extension of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative using convex and monotone convex functions. Furthermore, mean value theorems and n-exponential convexity of the related functionals is discussed.

We consider the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] terms in the low momentum expansion of the five graviton amplitude in type IIB string theory at one loop. They involve integrals of various modular graph functions over the fundamental domain of [Formula: see text]. Unlike the graphs which arise in the four graviton amplitude or at lower orders in the momentum expansion of the five graviton amplitude where the links are given by scalar Green functions, there are several graphs for the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] terms where each of these two links are given by a derivative of the Green function. Starting with appropriate auxiliary diagrams, we show that these graphs can be expressed in terms of those which do not involve any derivatives. This results in considerable simplification of the amplitude.

This work, part I in a two-part series, presents: (i) a simple and highly efficient algorithm for evaluation of quasi-periodic Green functions, as well as (ii) an associated boundary-integral equation method for the numerical solution of problems of scattering of waves by doubly periodic arrays of scatterers in three-dimensional space. Except for certain ‘Wood frequencies’ at which the quasi-periodic Green function ceases to exist, the proposed approach, which is based on smooth windowing functions, gives rise to tapered lattice sums which converge superalgebraically fast to the Green function—that is, faster than any power of the number of terms used. This is in sharp contrast to the extremely slow convergence exhibited by the lattice sums in the absence of smooth windowing. (The Wood-frequency problem is treated in part II.) This paper establishes rigorously the superalgebraic convergence of the windowed lattice sums. A variety of numerical results demonstrate the practical efficiency of the proposed approach.

A theoretical framework is proposed for analyzing fish movement and modeling the associated dynamics using tagging data. When tagged fish are released in an area small compared with the domain of the fish population and over a period short compared with the time they take to disperse throughout their domain, the pattern of movement approximates a point-source solution of the underlying population dynamics. A method of point sources (Green functions) is invoked for representing the solution of the tagged and untagged fish field equations (partial differential equations) in terms of integral equations. As an approximate representation of a tagging experiment, the Green function is interpreted as the probability density of survival and movement from point to point in space–time. The Green functions are constructed empirically using one parameter, catchability, as the ratio of population density of tagged fish divided by the number of tagged fish released. The number of tagging experiments necessary to characterize the population is dictated by the dependence of catchability on space–time. The moments of the Green function are used to calculate model parameters and lead to the identification of a closed form expression for the transition probability densities of the model assumed.

We consider discrete and continuous cyclic refinements of Jensen’s inequality and generalize them from convex function to higher order convex function by means of Lagrange Green’s function and Montgomery identity. We give application of our results by formulating the monotonicity of the linear functionals obtained from generalized identities utilizing the theory of inequalities for [Formula: see text]-convex functions at a point. We compute Grüss and Ostrowski type bounds for generalized identities associated with the obtained inequalities. Finally, we investigate the properties of linear functionals regarding exponential convexity log convexity and mean value theorems.

AbstractThe aim of the present paper is to obtain new generalizations of an inequality for n-convex functions involving Csiszár divergence on time scales using the Green function along with Fink’s identity. Some new results in h-discrete calculus and quantum calculus are also presented. Moreover, inequalities for some divergence measures are also deduced.
