Analytical valuation of some non-elementary integrals involving some exponential, hyperbolic and trigonometric elementary functions and derivation of new probability measures generalizing the gamma-type and normal distributions

Abstract

The non-elementary integrals involving elementary exponential, hyperbolic and trigonometric functions, $ \int x^αe^{ηx^β}dx, \int x^α\cosh\left(ηx^β\right)dx, \int x^α\sinh\left(ηx^β\right)dx, \int x^α\cos\left(ηx^β\right)dx$ and $\int x^α\sin\left(ηx^β\right)dx $ where $α, η$ and $β$ are real or complex constants are evaluated in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function $_1F_1$ and the hypergeometric function $_1F_2$. The hyperbolic and Euler identities are used to derive some identities involving exponential, hyperbolic, trigonometric functions and the hypergeometric functions $_1F_1$ and $_1F_2$. Having evaluated, these non-elementary integrals, some new probability measures generalizing the gamma-type and normal distributions are also obtained. The obtained generalized distributions may, for example, allow to perform better statistical tests than those already known (e.g. chi-square ($χ^2$) statistical tests and those based on central limit theorem (CLT)).

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.
