Asymptotics for numbers of line segments and lines in a square grid
We present an asymptotic formula for the number of line segments connecting
q+1 points of an nxn square grid, and a sharper formula, assuming the Riemann
hypothesis. We also present asymptotic formulas for the number of lines through
at least q points and, respectively, through exactly q points of the grid. The
well-known case q=2 is so generalized
Uniqueness of nontrivially complete monotonicity for a class of functions involving polygamma functions
For , let
on . In the
present paper, we prove using two methods that, among all for

completely monotonic on , but the functions for

Third order superintegrable systems separating in polar coordinates
A complete classification is presented of quantum and classical
superintegrable systems in that allow the separation of variables in
polar coordinates and admit an additional integral of motion of order three in
the momentum. New quantum superintegrable systems are discovered for which the
potential is expressed in terms of the sixth Painlev\'e transcendent or in
terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function
Purity-bounded uncertainty relations in multidimensional space -- generalized purity
Uncertainty relations for mixed quantum states (precisely, purity-bounded
position-momentum relations, developed by Bastiaans and then by Man'ko and
Dodonov) are studied in general multi-dimensional case. An expression for
family of mixed states at the lower bound of uncertainty relation is obtained.
It is shown, that in case of entropy-bounded uncertainty relations, lower-bound
state is thermal, and a transition from one-dimensional problem to
multi-dimensional one is trivial. Results of numerical calculation of the
relation lower bound for different types of generalized purity are presented.
Analytical expressions for general purity-bounded relations for highly mixed
states are obtained.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures. draft version, to appear in J. Phys. A Partially

Concise sharpening and generalizations of Shafer's inequality for the arc sine function
In this paper, by a concise and elementary approach, we sharpen and
generalize Shafer's inequality for the arc sine function, and some known
results are extended and generalized.Comment: 5 page
