چکیده

Ramanujan proved that the inequality π(x) < ex log x π (x e ) holds for all sufficiently large values of x. Using an explicit estimate for the error in the prime number theorem, we show unconditionally that it holds if x ≥ exp(9658). Furthermore, we solve the inequality completely on the Riemann Hypothesis, and show that x = 38, 358, 837, 682 is the largest integer counterexample.

Spectrum and Combinatorics of Ramanujan Triangle Complexes

Ramanujan graphs have extremal spectral properties, which imply a remarkable combinatorial behavior. In this paper we compute the high-dimensional Laplace spectrum of Ramanujan triangle complexes, and show that it implies a combinatorial expansion property, and a pseudo-randomness result. For this purpose we prove a Cheeger-type inequality and a mixing lemma of independent interest.

Ramanujan-nagell Cubics

A well-known result of Beukers [3] on the generalized Ramanujan-Nagell equation has, at its heart, a lower bound on the quantity |x2 − 2n|. In this paper, we derive an inequality of the shape |x3 − 2n| ≥ x4/3, valid provided x3 6= 2n and (x, n) 6= (5, 7), and then discuss its implications for a variety of Diophantine problems.

Solving fuzzy stochastic multi-objective programming problems based on a fuzzy inequality

Probabilistic or stochastic programming is a framework for modeling optimization problems that involve uncertainty.In this paper, we focus on multi-objective linear programmingproblems in which the coefficients of constraints and the righthand side vector are fuzzy random variables. There are several methodsin the literature that convert this problem to a stochastic or<b...

Variants of the Rogers-ramanujan Identities

We evaluate several integrals involving generating functions of continuous q-Hermite polynomials in two diierent ways. The resulting identities give new proofs and generalizations of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Two quintic transformations are given, one of which immediately proves the Rogers-Ramanujan identities without the Jacobi triple product identity. Similar techniques lead to new tra...

A revisit of a mathematical model for solving fully fuzzy linear programming problem with trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

In this paper fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problem with both equality and inequality constraints is considered where all the parameters and decision variables are represented by non-negative trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. According to the current approach, the FFLP problem with equality constraints first is converted into a multi–objective linear programming (MOLP) problem with crisp const...
