On the Incompatibility of Rearrangement with Convergence: An Axiomatic Approach to Holomorphic Recurrence Relations

Abstract

In classical analysis, the convergence behavior of power series solutions to differential or recurrence equations is generally assumed to be invariant under internal rearrangement. This paper challenges that belief by proving that, for holomorphic solutions to higher-order recurrence relations (order 3 or more), rearrangement of internal terms systematically reduces the radius of convergence. This contradicts assumptions underlying both Fuchs' theorem and the Poincare-Perron theorem. To address this, the paper proposes the Principle of Indivisible Integrity, an axiom that restricts arbitrary reordering within analytic computations. Both analytic arguments and numerical examples (see Theorem 3.3 and Table 3) show that violation of this principle can lead to structural divergence, even when classical conditions suggest convergence. This framework suggests the need to reexamine analytic structures in recurrence-based methods across mathematical physics, including quantum mechanics, general relativity, and spectral theory. It also raises foundational questions about computation and mathematical rigor in an age of automated symbolic processing. Rather than offering just a technical correction, this paper advocates a philosophical principle: that the integrity of mathematical order must be preserved by structure, not merely by computational convenience.

On the log-concavity of the composite Bessel function $x^{\alpha}J_{\nu }\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $

For a twice differentiable function $f:\left( a,b\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ define $v\left( f\right) =f^{\prime}f^{\prime}-f^{\prime\prime }f.$ It is well known that the positivity of $v\left( f\right) $ implies that the function $\left\vert f\right\vert $ is strictly log-concave on each subinterval which does not contain zeros of $f.$ In this paper we provide criteria for the positivity of $v\left( F\right) $ for the composite Bessel function $F\left( x\right) =J_{\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\nu}\left( x\right) :=x^{\alpha}J_{\nu}\left( \beta x^{\gamma}\right) $ for positive numbers $\beta$ and $\gamma$ and real numbers $\alpha$ and $\nu.$

Riesz capacity ratios with negative exponents

We investigate sharp inequalities for ratios of Riesz capacities with negative exponents by combining computational experiments with rigorous analysis. For finite subsets of the line, we prove positivity of equilibrium masses when $-1<p<0$, enabling numerical tests of conjectured extremal ratios. In the plane, comparisons of the disk with regular polygon vertex sets reveal a cascade of transitions among the tested competitors and suggest a precise conjecture for the equilibrium measure of odd polygons, for which we give a partial proof. Numerical intersections of equality curves show that the regions where these sets outperform the disk are not simply nested. Similar numerical intersections occur in three dimensions between the regular-simplex equality curve and those of explicit five-point and six-point configurations. Motivated by the dimensional dependence of these comparisons, we prove that for each fixed $p<-2<q<0$, the regular simplex has a larger capacity ratio than the ball in all sufficiently large dimensions. Accompanying Python and Mathematica code supports reproduction and further testing of the conjectures.

Shorter proof of dimension-free $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms

We provide a shorter and more direct proof of $L^p$ estimates for maximal Riesz transforms (of an arbitrary order) in terms of the corresponding Riesz transforms, with a constant independent of the dimension of the Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. This result was originally proved by Mateu, Orobitg, P\'erez and Verdera with a constant depending on the dimension, and improved to a dimension-free inequality by Kucharski, Wr\'obel and Zienkiewicz.
