Semi-regular continued fractions and an exact formula for the moments of the Minkowski question mark function
This paper continues investigations on the integral transforms of the
Minkowski question mark function. In this work we finally establish the
long-sought formula for the moments, which does not explicitly involve regular
continued fractions, though it has a hidden nice interpretation in terms of
semi-regular continued fractions. The proof is self-contained and does not rely
on previous results by the author.Comment: 8 page
Beltrami vector fields with an icosahedral symmetry
A vector field is called a Beltrami vector field, if . In this paper we construct two unique Beltrami vector fields
and , such that
,
, and such that both have an
orientation-preserving icosahedral symmetry. Both of them have an additional
symmetry with respect to a non-trivial automorphism of the number field

The Minkowski ?(x) function and Salem's problem
R. Salem (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (3) (1943) 427-439) asked whether the
Fourier-Stieltjes transform of the Minkowski question mark function ?(x)
vanishes at infinity. In this note we present several possible approaches
towards the solution. For example, we show that this transform satisfies
integral and discrete functional equations. Thus, we expect the affirmative
answer to Salem's problem. In the end of this note we show that recent attempt
to settle this question (S. Yakubovich, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 349
(11-12) (2011) 633-636) is fallacious.Comment: 4 pages. C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I. (2012
Planar 2-homogeneous commutative rational vector fields
In this paper we prove the following result: if two 2-dimensional
2-homogeneous rational vector fields commute, then either both vector fields
can be explicitly integrated to produce rational flows with orbits being lines
through the origin, or both flows can be explicitly integrated in terms of
algebraic functions. In the latter case, orbits of each flow are given in terms
of -homogeneous rational functions as curves . An
exhaustive method to construct such commuting algebraic flows is presented. The
degree of the so-obtained algebraic functions in two variables can be
arbitrarily high.Comment: 23 page
