For a triangle group $G$, the $G$-automorphic function is the inverse of Schwarz triangle function. In this paper, we compute the first derivative of the $G$-automorphic function for the triangle group $G$ in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function.
Inspired by the work of S. Ramanujan, many people have studied generalized modular equations and the numerous identities found by Ramanujan. These identities known as modular equations can be transformed into polynomial equations. There is no developed theory about how to find the degrees of these polynomial modular equations explicitly. In this paper, we determine the degrees of the polynomial modular equations explicitly and study the relation between Hecke groups and modular equations in Ramanujan's theories of signatures 2, 3, and 4.
We define a set of holomorphic functions in terms of the Hauptmodul of a quotient Riemann surface and prove that these functions are holomorphic on the upper half-plane. It is also shown that these functions are automorphic forms of weight k with respect to a Fuchsian group.
In his notebooks, Ramanujan presented without proof many remarkable formulae for the solutions to generalized modular equations. Much later, proofs of the formulae were provided by making use of highly nontrivial identities for theta series and hypergeometric functions. We offer a geometric approach to the proof of those formulae. We emphasize that our proofs are geometric and independent of such identities.
The point placement problem is to determine the positions of a set of $n$ distinct points, P = {p1, p2, p3, ..., pn}, on a line uniquely, up to translation and reflection, from the fewest possible distance queries between pairs of points. Each distance query corresponds to an edge in a graph, called point placement graph ppg, whose vertex set is P. The uniqueness requirement of the placement translates to line rigidity of the ppg. In this paper we show how to construct in 2 rounds a line rigid point placement graph of size 9n/7 + O(1). This improves the existing best result of 4n/3 + O(1). We also improve the lower bound on 2-round algorithms from 17n/16 to 9n/8.
We present algorithms for length-constrained maximum sum segment and maximum density segment problems, in particular, and the problem of finding length-constrained heaviest segments, in general, for a sequence of real numbers. Given a sequence of n real numbers and two real parameters L and U (L <= U), the maximum sum segment problem is to find a consecutive subsequence, called a segment, of length at least L and at most U such that the sum of the numbers in the subsequence is maximum. The maximum density segment problem is to find a segment of length at least L and at most U such that the density of the numbers in the subsequence is the maximum. For the first problem with non-uniform width there is an algorithm with time and space complexities in O(n). We present an algorithm with time complexity in O(n) and space complexity in O(U). For the second problem with non-uniform width there is a combinatorial solution with time complexity in O(n) and space complexity in O(U). We present a simple geometric algorithm with the same time and space complexities. We extend our algorithms to respectively solve the length-constrained k maximum sum segments problem in O(n+k) time and O(max{U, k}) space, and the length-constrained $k$ maximum density segments problem in O(n min{k, U-L}) time and O(U+k) space. We present extensions of our algorithms to find all the length-constrained segments having user specified sum and density in O(n+m) and O(nlog (U-L)+m) times respectively, where m is the number of output. Previously, there was no known algorithm with non-trivial result for these problems. We indicate the extensions of our algorithms to higher dimensions. All the algorithms can be extended in a straight forward way to solve the problems with non-uniform width and non-uniform weight.
