Abstract

The Riemann Xi-function Xi(t)=xi(1/2+it) is a particularly interesting member of a broad family of entire functions which can be expanded in terms of symmetrized Pochhammer polynomials depending on a certain scaling parameter beta. An entire function in this family can be expressed as a specific integral transform of a function A(x) to which can be associated a unique minimal beta-sequence beta(min,n)-> infinity as n-> infinity, having the property that the Pochhammer polynomial approximant Xi(n,t,beta(n)) of order n to the function Xi(t) has real roots only in t for all n and for all beta(n)>= beta(min,n). The importance of the minimal beta-sequence is related to the fact that its asymptotic properties may, by virtue of the Hurwitz theorem of complex analysis, allow for making inferences about the zeros of the limit function Xi(t) in case the approximants Xi(n,t,beta(n)) converge. The objective of the paper is to investigate numerically the properties, in particular the very large n properties, of the minimal beta-sequences for different choices of the function A(x) of compact support and of exponential decrease, including the Riemann case.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

The decrease in sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions

In the paper, the author develops a general convexity lemma and applies it to demonstrate the monotonic decrease of a function involving polygamma functions, arising from the sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
