Gauss $q$-ed from Heine cubed

We consider $q$-analytic derivations of the $q$-Gauss summation formula for a $\, _2ϕ_1$ that respect the symmetry in its upper parameters.

On Weierstrass $\wp$ in signature 3

In his work on the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions to alternative bases, Shen constructed two different elliptic functions in signature three; we determine the precise relationship between them, by precisely relating their coperiodic Weierstrass $\wp$ functions.

Hypergeometric identities in elliptic signature six

Within the Ramanujan theories of elliptic functions, Li-Chien Shen constructed natural elliptic functions in signature three and signature four. When applied in signature six, the same constructions produce non-elliptic functions that nevertheless engender the corresponding hypergeometric identities of Ramanujan.

The elliptic function ${\rm dn}_3$ of Shen

We analyze the elliptic function ${\rm dn}_3$ introduced by Li-Chien Shen, contributing to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions in signature three. A famous hypergeometric identity emerges from our analysis.

Elliptic functions from hypergeometric integrals

As a contribution to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions to alternative bases, Li-Chien Shen has shown how analogues of the Jacobian elliptic functions may be derived from incomplete hypergeometric integrals in signatures three and four. We determine precisely the signatures in which the Jacobian analogues or their squares are indeed elliptic.

Nonelliptic functions from $F(\frac{1}{6}, \frac{5}{6} ; \frac{1}{2} ; \bullet)$

As contributions to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions to alternative bases, Li-Chien Shen has developed families of elliptic functions from the hypergeometric functions $F(\tfrac{1}{3}, \tfrac{2}{3}; \tfrac{1}{2} ; \bullet)$ and $F(\tfrac{1}{4}, \tfrac{3}{4}; \tfrac{1}{2} ; \bullet)$. We apply his methods to the hypergeometric function $F(\tfrac{1}{6}, \tfrac{5}{6}; \tfrac{1}{2} ; \bullet)$.

Closed graphs and open maps

We offer a new perspective on the closed graph theorem and the open mapping theorem for separated barrelled spaces and fully complete spaces.

math.FA

Elliptic functions and flotation

A paraboloid or a cone of density $ρ$ with vertical axis is released from rest into a liquid of density $ρ_0$. We determine the critical value of the ratio $ρ_0/ρ$ for subsequent full submersion.

Higher Trigonometry: A Class Of Nonlinear Systems

We study the initial value problem '$s\,' = c^{p - 1}, \; c\,' = -s^{p - 1}; \; \; s(0) = 0, \; c(0) = 1$' (both as a real system and as a complex system) for each integer $p > 2$, considering separately the cases '$p$ even' and '$p$ odd'.
