Abstract

In this paper I give an evaluation of a functional integral by means of a series in functional derivatives, first of all we propose a differential equation of first order and solve it by iterative methods, to obtain a series for the indefinite integral in one dimension, after that we extend this concept to infinite dimensional spaces, we introduce the functional derivative and propose a functional differential equation for the functional integral which we solve by iteration obtaining a series that includes the n-th order functional derivative dn, this series can be improved by using the Euler transform for alternating series. Also in the second part we study an evaluation of the Path integral using Saddle-point methods, the corrections to the WKB approach that yield to a divergent series are evaluate by means of a Borel transform, to accelerate its convergence we use the Abel-Euler algorithm for power series.

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.
