Using the integral expression of Mathieu's series and some integral and analytic inequalities involving periodic functions and the generating function of Bernoulli numbers, we present several new inequalities and estimates for Mathieu's series and generalize Math-ieu's series. Two open problems are proposed.

Scan statistics have been widely applied to test for unusual cluster of events in many scientific areas. It has been of practical interest on how to select the window size of a scan statistic. An adaptive procedure for multiple window scan statistics is proposed and the distributions are studied for independent identically distributed Bernoulli trials and uniform observations on (0, 1) in one-d...

Using Szenes formula for multiple Bernoulli series, we explain how to compute Witten series associated to classical Lie algebras. Particular instances of these series compute volumes of moduli spaces of flat bundles over surfaces, and also multiple zeta values.

We discuss the asymptotic expansions of certain products of Bernoulli numbers and factorials, e.g., n ∏

In [7] we further proved that H1(p−1) ≡ 0 (mod p ) if and only if p divides the numerator of Bp−3, which never happens for primes less than 12 million [2]. There is another important equivalent statement of Wolstenholme’s Theorem by using combinatorics. D.F. Bailey [1] generalizes it to the following form. Theorem 1.1. ([1, Theorem 4]) Let n and r be non-negative integers and p ≥ 5 be a prime. ...

PrQcedures are exhibited and analyzed for converting a sequence of iid Bernoulli variables with unknown mean p into a Bernoulli variable with mean 1/2. The efficiency of several procedures is studied.

We consider a boundary value problem for the beam equation, in which the boundary conditions mean that the beam is embedded at one end and free at the other end. Some new estimates to the positive solutions to the boundary value problem are obtained. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution for the boundary value problem are established. An example is given...

This study aimed to examine the effect of obstacles and age on walking time within a course (10 cm width) and on a balance beam in 158 preschool boys, aged 4 (47), 5 (50), and 6 (61) years. An obstacle 5 or 10 cm in height (depth, 11.5 cm and width, 23.5 cm) was placed at the halfway point of the course drawn on the floor and on the balance beam (200 cm in length, 10 cm in width and 30 cm in he...
