Abstract

We present a comparative experimental study of planar curves arising from a Fourier series whose frequencies are the prime numbers, together with several randomized control models. Starting from the series $F_n(t)=\sum_{p\le n} v_p(n!)\, e^{i p t},~t\in[-\pi,\pi]$, introduced and motivated in a companion work, we investigate the geometric complexity of the associated planar curves obtained by sampling in the complex plane. To test whether the observed multiscale behavior reflects arithmetic structure or can be reproduced as a generic consequence of sparsity or density, we compare the prime frequency model with randomized alternatives, including random frequency sets, a Cram\'er type random model, and a shuffled coefficient model. Using consistent box counting protocols and Monte Carlo ensembles, we observe stable scale dependent behavior for the prime frequency curves that is not reproduced by the randomized models. All results are experimental and are presented as evidence motivating further theoretical investigation.

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.
