A new approach for solving nonlinear Thomas-Fermi equation based on fractional order of rational Bessel functions
In this paper, the fractional order of rational Bessel functions collocation
method (FRBC) to solve Thomas-Fermi equation which is defined in the
semi-infinite domain and has singularity at and its boundary condition
occurs at infinity, have been introduced. We solve the problem on semi-infinite
domain without any domain truncation or transformation of the domain of the
problem to a finite domain. This approach at first, obtains a sequence of
linear differential equations by using the quasilinearization method (QLM),
then at each iteration solves it by FRBC method. To illustrate the reliability
of this work, we compare the numerical results of the present method with some
well-known results in other to show that the new method is accurate, efficient
and applicable
Laguerre-type derivatives: Dobinski relations and combinatorial identities
We consider properties of the operators D(r,M)=a^r(a^\dag a)^M (which we call
generalized Laguerre-type derivatives), with r=1,2,..., M=0,1,..., where a and
a^\dag are boson annihilation and creation operators respectively, satisfying
[a,a^\dag]=1. We obtain explicit formulas for the normally ordered form of
arbitrary Taylor-expandable functions of D(r,M) with the help of an operator
relation which generalizes the Dobinski formula. Coherent state expectation
values of certain operator functions of D(r,M) turn out to be generating
functions of combinatorial numbers. In many cases the corresponding
combinatorial structures can be explicitly identified.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figur
Some Useful Collective Properties of Bessel, Marcum Q-Functions and Laguerre Polynomials
Special functions have been used widely in many problems of applied sciences.
However, there are considerable numbers of problems in which exact solutions
could not be achieved because of undefined sums or integrals involving special
functions. These handicaps force researchers to seek new properties of special
functions. Many problems that could not be solved so far would be solved by
means of these efforts. Therefore in this article, we derived some useful
properties and interrelations of each others of Bessel functions, Marcum
Q-functions and Laguerre polynomials
Conformal symmetry of the Lange-Neubert evolution equation
The Lange-Neubert evolution equation describes the scale dependence of the
wave function of a meson built of an infinitely heavy quark and light antiquark
at light-like separations, which is the hydrogen atom problem of QCD. It has
numerous applications to the studies of B-meson decays. We show that the kernel
of this equation can be written in a remarkably compact form, as a logarithm of
the generator of special conformal transformation in the light-ray direction.
This representation allows one to study solutions of this equation in a very
simple and mathematically consistent manner. Generalizing this result, we show
that all heavy-light evolution kernels that appear in the renormalization of
higher-twist B-meson distribution amplitudes can be written in the same form.Comment: 8 page
SPECIAL VALUES OF THE BELL POLYNOMIALS OF THE SECOND KIND FOR SOME SEQUENCES AND FUNCTIONS: Special values of Bell polynomials of second kind
In the paper, the authors concisely review some closed formulas and applications of special values of the Bell polynomials of the second kind for some special sequences and elementary functions, explicitly present closed formulas for those sequences investigated in [F. T. Howard, A special class of Bell polynomials, Math. Comp. 35 (1980), no. 151, 977–989; Available online at https://doi.org/10.2307/2006208], and newly establish some closed formulas for some special values of the Bell polynomials of the second kind
The Zagier polynomials. Part II: Arithmetic properties of coefficients
The modified Bernoulli numbers \begin{equation*} B_{n}^{*} = \sum_{r=0}^{n}
\binom{n+r}{2r} \frac{B_{r}}{n+r}, \quad n > 0 \end{equation*} introduced by D.
Zagier in 1998 were recently extended to the polynomial case by replacing
by the Bernoulli polynomials . Arithmetic properties of the
coefficients of these polynomials are established. In particular, the 2-adic
valuation of the modified Bernoulli numbers is determined. A variety of
analytic, umbral, and asymptotic methods is used to analyze these polynomials
A convergent expansion of the Airy's integral with incomplete Gamma functions
There are two main power series for the Airy functions, namely the Maclaurin
and the asymptotic expansions. The former converges for all finite values of
the complex variable, , but it requires a large number of terms for large
values of , and the latter is a Poincar\'{e}-type expansion which is
well-suited for such large values and where optimal truncation is possible. The
asymptotic series of the Airy function shows a classical example of the Stokes
phenomenon where a type of discontinuity occurs for the homonymous multipliers.
A new series expansion is presented here that stems from the method of steepest
descents, as can the asymptotic series, but which is convergent for all values
of the complex variable. It originates in the integration of uniformly
convergent power series representing the integrand of the Airy's integral in
different sections of the integration path. The new series expansion is not a
power series and instead relies on the calculation of complete and incomplete
Gamma functions. In this sense, it is related to the Hadamard expansions. It is
an alternative expansion to the two main aforementioned power series that also
offers some insight into the transition zone for the Stokes' multipliers due to
the splitting of the integration path. Unlike the Hadamard series, it relies on
only two different expansions, separated by a branch point, one of which is
centered at infinity. The interest of the new series expansion is mainly a
theoretical one in a twofold way. First of all, it shows how to convert an
asymptotic series into a convergent one, even if the rate of convergence may be
slow for small values of . Secondly, it sheds some light on the Stokes
phenomenon for the Airy function by showing the transition of the integration
paths at .Comment: 21 pages, 23 figures. Changes in version 2: i) Footnote 10 has been
