A modification of standard Poincaré asymptotic expansions for functions defined by means of Laplace transforms is analyzed. This modification is based on an alternative power series expansion of the integrand, and the convergence properties are seen to be superior to those of the original asymptotic series. The resulting modified asymptotic expansion involves confluent hypergeometric functions ...

In this paper we expand upon the theme of modified Fourier expansions and extend the theory to a multivariate setting and to expansions in eigenfunctions of the Laplace– Neumann operator. We pay detailed attention to expansions in a d-dimensional cube and to an effective derivation of expansion coefficients there by means of quadratures of highly oscillatory integrals. Thus, we present asymptot...

According to the Maupertuis principle, the movement of a classical particle in an external potential V (x) can be understood as the movement in a curved space with the metric gμν(x) = 2M [V (x) − E]δμν . We show that the principle can be extended to the quantum regime, i.e., we show that the wave function of the particle follows a Schrödinger equation in curved space where the kinetic operator ...

We construct an efficient methodology for calculating wormlike chain statistics in arbitrary D dimensions over all chain rigidities, from fully rigid to completely flexible. The structure of our exact analytical solution for the end-to-end distribution function for a wormlike chain in arbitrary D dimensions in Fourier-Laplace space (i.e., Fourier-transformed end position and Laplace-transformed...

We define a notion of determining sets for the discrete Laplacian in a domain Ω. A set D is called determining if harmonic functions are uniquely determined by providing their values on D, and if D has the same size as the boundary of Ω. It is shown that there exist determining sets that are fairly evenly distributed in Ω. A number of basic properties of determining sets are derived.

In this paper, a new mathematical model of a Kelvin-Voigt type thermo-visco-elastic, infinite thermally conducting medium has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction having a non-local fractional order due to the presence of periodically varying heat sources. Three-phase-lag thermoelastic model, Green Naghdi models II and III (i.e., the models which predicts the...

In this work, a new mathematical model of thermoelasticity theory has been considered in the context of a new consideration of heat conduction with fractional order theory. A functionally graded isotropic unbounded medium is considered subjected to a periodically varying heat source in the context of space-time non-local generalization of three-phase-lag thermoelastic model and Green-Naghdi mod...

We study spectrum inclusion regions for complex Jacobi matrices that are compact perturbations of the discrete laplacian. The condition sufficient for the lack of discrete spectrum for such matrices is given.
