Composition and inverse of multivariate functions and algebraic system of equations

Abstract

Every one knows that an equation is equivalent to a multivariate function. Generally speaking, there are more than one unknown x in this multivariate function and it is not easy to reduce the number of unknown x to one. In this paper we achieve this by introducing function promotion which can converse a function of less variables to one of more variables and by introducing multivariate function composition developed from unary function composition. We introduced inverse multivariate functions extended from inverse unary functions then we can express the solution by an inverse multivariate function if this equivalent multivariate function is invertible. For an equivalent irreversible multivariate function we introduced relation and consider the equivalent multivariate function as a special multivariate relation then we can express the solution by an inverse multivariate relation which always exists. No one will belief that every one is familiar with multivariate function composition after their reading this paper and knowing the importance of multivariate function composition to express the solution of a general equation. Further more we discuss the possibility of expressing the solution, a multivariate function or multivariate relation, for a general equation by superposition of unary ones. This will involve Hilbert's 13th problem. The topic shown in this paper can be new directions for many mathematicians because the topic is so basic.

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.
