Eigenfunction expansions for a fundamental solution of Laplace's equation on R3\R^3 in parabolic and elliptic cylinder coordinates

A fundamental solution of Laplace's equation in three dimensions is expanded in harmonic functions that are separated in parabolic or elliptic cylinder coordinates. There are two expansions in each case which reduce to expansions of the Bessel functions $J_0(kr)$ or $K_0(kr)$, $r^2=(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2$, in parabolic and elliptic cylinder harmonics. Advantage is taken of the fact that $K_0(kr)$ is a fundamental solution and $J_0(kr)$ is the Riemann function of partial differential equations on the Euclidean plane

The inner kernel theorem for a certain Segal algebra

The Segal algebra ${\textbf{S}}_{0}(G)$ is well defined for arbitrary locally compact Abelian Hausdorff (LCA) groups $G$. Despite the fact that it is a Banach space it is possible to derive a kernel theorem similar to the Schwartz kernel theorem, of course without making use of the Schwartz kernel theorem. First we characterize the bounded linear operators from ${\textbf{S}}_{0}(G_1)$ to ${\textbf{S}}_{0}'(G_2)$ by distributions in ${\textbf{S}}_{0}'(G_1 \times G_2)$. We call this the "outer kernel theorem". The "inner kernel theorem" is concerned with the characterization of those linear operators which have kernels in the subspace ${\textbf{S}}_{0}(G_1 \times G_2)$, the main subject of this manuscript. We provide a description of such operators as regularizing operators in our context, mapping ${\textbf{S}}_{0}'(G_1)$ into test functions in ${\textbf{S}}_{0}(G_2)$, in a $w^{*}$-to norm continuous manner. The presentation provides a detailed functional analytic treatment of the situation and applies to the case of general LCA groups, without recurrence to the use of so-called Wilson bases, which have been used for the case of elementary LCA groups. The approach is then used in order to describe natural laws of composition which imitate the composition of linear mappings via matrix multiplications, now in a continuous setting. We use here that in a suitable (weak) form these operators approximate general operators. We also provide an explanation and mathematical justification used by engineers explaining in which sense pure frequencies "integrate" to a Dirac delta distribution

Drawing graphs with vertices and edges in convex position

A graph has strong convex dimension $2$, if it admits a straight-line drawing in the plane such that its vertices are in convex position and the midpoints of its edges are also in convex position. Halman, Onn, and Rothblum conjectured that graphs of strong convex dimension $2$ are planar and therefore have at most $3n-6$ edges. We prove that all such graphs have at most $2n-3$ edges while on the other hand we present a class of non-planar graphs of strong convex dimension $2$. We also give lower bounds on the maximum number of edges a graph of strong convex dimension $2$ can have and discuss variants of this graph class. We apply our results to questions about large convexly independent sets in Minkowski sums of planar point sets, that have been of interest in recent years.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figures, improved expositio
