Abstract

Separate consideration of properties of roots of Third Painlev\'e transcendents (P_III-functions) is necessary due to irregularity the differential equation defining them reveals on the subset of the phase space where its solution would vanish. Application of the Hamiltonian formalism enables one to replace the mentioned second order differential equation (Third Painlev\'e equation) by two independent systems of two nonlinear first order equations whose structures allow to name them coupled Riccati equations. The existence of P_III-functions vanishing at a given non-zero point then follows, all they being analytic thereat. The set $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{C}$ (or $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{R}$) can be used for their indexing. It proves also to be natural to use as an unknown the third order derivative rather than the original nknown itself. After transformation of the corresponding differential equations to equivalent integral equations the efficient algorithm of the constructing of approximate solutions to Third Painlev\'e equation in vicinity of their non-zero root in the form of truncated power series is obtained. An example of its application is given, its numerical validation presenting results in a graphical form is carried out. The associated approximation applicable in vicinity of a pole of the corresponding P_III-function is given as well. The bounds from below for the distances between a pair of roots of a P_III-function and between a root and a pole representable in terms of elementary functions are derived.

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.
