Abstract

A special integro-differential formula (SIDF) of the class of Green's theorems is established for a pair of functional forms (FFs) defined in a real affine Euclidean space of any given dimension n>=1 (nDRAES); one of the FFs is the Green FF for a Poisson equation in the unbounded nDRAES, and the other one is an arbitrary twice-continuously-differentiable time biased (retarded or advanced) FF. The SIDF is an identity, which depends on n, but which is not associated with any specific differential equation for the arbitrary FF. If, however, the latter is assumed to satisfy an inhomogeneous wave equation (IWE) in nDRAES then the SIDF expresses the forced retarded or advanced solution of the IWE if and only if n=3. Based on this fact and also on the pertinent properly defined causality principle, it is concluded that an nDRAES can be regarded as a receptacle of Nature, i.e. as a receptacle of matter along with the principle of special relativity and also along with all metamorphoses, which occur to matter in time in the irreversible direction from past through present to future - metamorphoses that are called physical, chemical, biological, etc. processes - if and only if n=3.

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.

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.
