چکیده
MATILDE LALÍN, FRANCIS RODRIGUE, AND MATHEW ROGERS Abstract. We study the series ψs(z) := ∑∞ n=1 sec(nπz)n −s, and prove that it converges under mild restrictions on z and s. The function possesses a modular transformation property, which allows us to evaluate ψs(z) explicitly at certain quadratic irrational values of z. This supports our conjecture that πψk( √ j) ∈ Q whenever k and j are positive integers with k even. We conclude with some speculations on Bernoulli numbers.

Two Settings of the Dai-Liao Parameter Based on Modified Secant Equations
Following the setting of the Dai-Liao (DL) parameter in conjugate gradient (CG) methods, we introduce two new parameters based on the modified secant equation proposed by Li et al. (Comput. Optim. Appl. 202:523-539, 2007) with two approaches, which use an extended new conjugacy condition. The first is based on a modified descent three-term search direction, as the descent Hest...
متن کاملA meshless technique for nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations via hybrid of radial basis functions
In this paper, an effective technique is proposed to determine thenumerical solution of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integralequations (VFIEs) which is based on interpolation by the hybrid ofradial basis functions (RBFs) including both inverse multiquadrics(IMQs), hyperbolic secant (Sechs) and strictly positive definitefunctions. Zeros of the shifted Legendre polynomial are used asthe collocatio...

متن کاملA secant method for nonsmooth optimization
The notion of a secant for locally Lipschitz continuous functions is introduced and a new algorithm to locally minimize nonsmooth, nonconvex functions based on secants is developed. We demonstrate that the secants can be used to design an algorithm to find descent directions of locally Lipschitz continuous functions. This algorithm is applied to design a minimization method, called a secant met...
