Abstract

In this paper, we study various properties of Erd\'{e}lyi's multivariate Laguerre polynomials $L_{n_1,\cdots,n_k}^{(\alpha)}(x_1,\cdots,x_k)$ including their generating functions, product formulas and fractional integral representations. Many useful consequences are derived. New insights into various classical results including the relationships of the multivariate Laguerre polynomials with Oshima's fractional calculus operator and with an integral formula of Srivastava and Niukkanen are also mentioned. We further present an interesting evaluation for a generating function of the main diagonal sequence $L_{n,\cdots,n}^{(-\beta-kn)}(x_1,\cdots,x_k)$ which involves in a natural way the well-known Le Roy function ([Darboux Bull. 24 (2) (1899), 245--268]; [Toulouse Ann. 2 (2) (1900), 317--430]). The significance of the multivariate Laguerre polynomials $L_{n_1,\cdots,n_k}^{(\alpha)}(x_1,\cdots,x_k)$ is demonstrated by observing that this class not only includes the generalized Hardy-Hille formula and the product formula but also contains the multiple Laguerre polynomials of the second kind as its important special cases. We briefly indicate also possible lines of future work.

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.
