This paper aims to propose an algorithm that can predict the values of logarithmic function for any domain and for any bases with minimum possible error using basic mathematical operations. It talks about a univariate quadratic function that overlaps with the graph of the common logarithmic function to some extent, and using this resemblance to fullest advantage. It proposes a formula and certain algorithms based on the same formula.

There are various methods of finding the square roots of positive real number. This paper deals with finding the principle square root of positive real numbers by using Lagrange’s and Newton’s interpolation method. The interpolation method is the process of finding the values of unknown quantity (y) between two known quantities.

AbstractLetx0<x1<x2< ⋅⋅⋅ be an increasing sequence of positive integers given by the formulaxn=⌊βxn−1+ γ⌋ forn=1, 2, 3, . . ., where β > 1 and γ are real numbers andx0is a positive integer. We describe the conditions on integersbd, . . .,b0, not all zero, and on a real number β > 1 under which the sequence of integerswn=bdxn+d+ ⋅⋅⋅ +b0xn,n=0, 1, 2, . . ., is bounded by a constant independent ofn. The conditions under which this sequence can be ultimately periodic are also described. Finally, we prove a lower bound on the complexity function of the sequenceqxn+1−pxn∈ {0, 1, . . .,q−1},n=0, 1, 2, . . ., wherex0is a positive integer,p>q> 1 are coprime integers andxn=⌈pxn−1/q⌉ forn=1, 2, 3, . . . A similar speculative result concerning the complexity of the sequence of alternatives (F:x↦x/2 orS:x↦(3x+1)/2) in the 3x+1 problem is also given.

We prove a strengthened form of convexity for operator monotone decreasing positive functions defined on the positive real numbers. This extends Ando and Hiai's work to allow arbitrary positive maps instead of states (or the identity map), and functional calculus by operator monotone functions defined on the positive real numbers instead of the logarithmic function.

AbstractLet θ be a real number greater than 1, and let (()) be the fractional part function. Then, θ is said to be a Z-number if there is a non-zero real number λ such that ((λθn)) < for all n ∈ ℕ. Dubickas (A. Dubickas, Even and odd integral parts of powers of a real number, Glasg. Math. J., 48 (2006), 331–336) showed that strong Pisot numbers are Z-numbers. Here it is proved that θ is a strong Pisot number if and only if there exists λ ≠ 0 such that ((λα)) < for all$\alpha \in \{ \theta ^{n}\mid n\in \mathbb{N}\} \cup \{ \sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{N}\theta ^{n}\mid \mathit{\}N\in \mathbb{N}\}$. Also, the following characterisation of Pisot numbers among real numbers greater than 1 is shown: θ is a Pisot number ⇔ ∃ λ ≠ 0 such that$\Vert \lambda \alpha \Vert <\frac{1}{% 3}$for all$\alpha \in \{ \sum\nolimits_{n=0}^{N}a_{n}\theta ^{n}\mid$an ∈ {0,1}, N ∈ ℕ}, where ‖λα‖ = min{((λα)), 1 − ((λα))}.

This chapter considers Hamiltonian graphs, a class of graphs named for nineteenth-century physicist and mathematician Sir William Rowan Hamilton. In 1835 Hamilton discovered that complex numbers could be represented as ordered pairs of real numbers. That is, a complex number a + b i (where a and b are real numbers) could be treated as the ordered pair (a, b). Here the number i has the property that i² = -1. Consequently, while the equation x² = -1 has no real number solutions, this equation has two solutions that are complex numbers, namely i and -i. The chapter first examines Hamilton's icosian calculus and Icosian Game, which has a version called Traveller's Dodecahedron or Voyage Round the World, before concluding with an analysis of the Knight's Tour Puzzle, the conditions that make a given graph Hamiltonian, and the Traveling Salesman Problem.

Let [Formula: see text] be an integer with [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] be any real number. Suppose that [Formula: see text] are nonzero real numbers, not all the same sign and [Formula: see text] is irrational. It is proved that the inequality [Formula: see text] has infinitely many solutions in primes [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. This generalizes earlier results. As application, we get that the integer parts of [Formula: see text] are prime infinitely often for primes [Formula: see text].

The term rank p of a matrix is the order of the largest minor which has a non-zero term in the expansion of its determinant. In a recent paper (1), the authors made the following conjecture. If S is the sum of all the entries in a square matrix of non-negative real numbers and if M is the maximum row or column sum, then the term rank p of the matrix is greater than or equal to the least integer which is greater than or equal to S/M. A generalization of this conjecture is proved in § 2.The term doubly stochastic has been used to describe a matrix of nonnegative entries in which the row and column sums are all equal to one. In this paper, by a doubly stochastic matrix, the, authors mean a matrix of non-negative entries in which the row and column sums are all equal to the same real number T.

In a previous paper, I proved the consistency of a non-finitary system of logic based on the theory of types, which was shown to contain the axiom of reducibility in a form which seemed not to interfere with the classical construction of real numbers. A form of the system containing a strong axiom of choice was also proved consistent.It seems to me now that the real-number approach used in that paper, though valid, was not the most fruitful one. We can, on the lines therein suggested, prove the consistency of axioms closely resembling Tarski's twenty axioms for the real numbers; but this, from the standpoint of mathematical practice, is a pitifully small fragment of analysis. The consistency of a fairly strong set-theory can be proved, using the results of my previous paper, with little more difficulty than that of the Tarski axioms; this being the case, it would seem a saving in effort to derive the consistency of such a theory first, then to strengthen that theory (if possible) in such ways as can be shown to preserve consistency; and finally to derive from the system thus strengthened, if need be, a more usable real-number theory. The present paper is meant to achieve the first part of this program. The paragraphs of this paper are numbered consecutively with those of my previous paper, of which it is to be regarded as a continuation.

Abstract We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n4 mathematical operations. The construction works by defining successive refinements of appropriate subintervals to achieve, in the limit, simple normality to all integer bases and continued fraction normality. The main difficulty is to control the length of these subintervals. To achieve this we adapt and combine known metric theorems on continued fractions and on expansions in integers bases.

One of the basic principles we follow in our teaching is to relate new ideas with old ideas. Dr. Forbes has done just this in his article about extending the concept of rational numbers to real numbers. He points out how this extension cannot follow the same pattern as that of extensions positive to negative integers or from integers to rationals. If we look to a definition for motivating the extension we at best can only say, “Some polynomial equations have no rational number solutions and do have some real number solutions.” We might use least-upperbound idea, or we might try motivating through nonperiodic infinite decimals. However, Dr. Forbes rejects all of these and makes the tie-in through a geometric approach.
