The rational Landen transformations are used to produce a highly efficient numerical method for the integration of rational functions.
The rational Landen transformation is a map on the coefficients of a rational integrand that preserves the value of the integral. This is the rational analog of the classical Landen transformations for elliptic integrals that leads to the arithmetic-geometric mean of Legendre and Gauss. We present the effect of this transformation in the simplest possible case.
The rational Landen transformation is a map on the space of coefficients of a rational integrand that preserves the value of the integral. We provide a family of these transformations that apply to rational integrands on the whole line. Given an integer m, these transformations produce a numerical scheme to evaluate the integral that is of order m.
The 2-adic valuation of the Stirling numbres is examined. We conjecture pattrens about the distributions of these valuations in residue classes modulo powers of 2.
Landen transformations are maps on the coefficients of an integral that preserve its value. We present a brief survey of their appearnce in the literature.
We analyze properties of the 2-adic valuations of an integer sequence that originates from an explicit evaluation of a quartic integral. We also give a combinatorial interpretation of the valuations of this sequence. Connections with the orbits arising from the Collatz (3x+1) problem are discussed.
