Introduction to generalised Cesaro convergence III

This is the third and last of three papers introducing generalised Cesaro convergence and is split into two parts. In part 1 we introduce the notion of a "Cesaro-adapted scale" and use it to prove the key generalised Cesaro summation/convergence theorems developed in the first paper in this series. We also use it to trivially extend these results to the case of remainder Cesaro summation/convergence relative to arbitrary $z_{0}\in\mathbb{C}$ (not just $z_{0}=0$). In the course of the working we introduce the concepts of "formal symbols" and "formal function elements", which allow us to express many results in extremely compact form and simplify our arguments considerably. Part 2 is self-contained and devoted to further exploring this "formal" world. We express a number of additional results in surprisingly compact form using formal symbols and function elements, and use them to give simple proofs of several non-trivial results. We also investigate their fascinating properties. These include the need to avoid evaluating too early; the consequent need to retain stand-alone zeros (both "to the left" and "to the right") lest they be brought back to life before evaluation; and the need to use continuous limits to resolve singular ratios in final evaluation when required. Finally, we consider in detail the formal extension we have introduced of our Cesaro-adapted scale to a 1-parameter continuum of period-1 functions $\overset{\lor}{q}_{\rho}(\alpha)$, $\rho\in\mathbb{C}$. We analyse their distributional aspects when $\rho\in\mathbb{Z}_{<0}$ and derive their Fourier-series coefficients in general. We conclude with a miscellany of further observations, including a formal re-casting of the general Euler-McLaurin sum formula in very compact form, and a number of additional analytical and combinatorial characteristics of the $\overset{\lor}{q}_{\rho}(\alpha)$ and associated operators.

Introduction to generalised Cesaro convergence II

In this second of three introductory papers, we extend the notion of generalised Cesaro summation/convergence to the more natural setting of what we call remainder Cesaro summation/convergence. This greatly expands the range of problems susceptible to Cesaro methods and introduces the geometric location of summands as a critical consideration. We also show that geometric generalised Cesaro convergence is invariant under dilation and scaling. We present a number of calculations illustrating the utility of these developments. In particular we introduce a new, more natural definition of the classical Gamma function using remainder Cesaro summation/products, and show that many its key properties - both basic and advanced - fall out directly and intuitively from this Cesaro definition and its geometric and dilation-invariance properties. We also consider other examples and show how Cesaro methodology explains the common structure of many well-known functional equations.

Introduction to generalised Cesaro convergence I

This is the first in a set of three papers providing an introduction to generalised Cesaro convergence. We start with traditional Cesaro methods for extending classical convergence and further generalise these to allow the calculation of limits/sums for a much broader class of divergent sequences/series. These provide a constructive means of analytic continuation of functions of a complex variable and we give many examples. Future sets of papers will use these methods to derive new results (and re-derive many existing results) in areas including analytic number theory; the theory of the Riemann zeta function; reversal of order of summation; exponential sums; classical integration; Taylor series and Mellin transforms; asymptotic analysis; and a number of others.

Bootstrapping mirror pairs: The beginning of the end

Three-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories with eight supercharges possess a unique duality known as 3D mirror symmetry. Under this correspondence, the Coulomb branch of one theory is equivalent to the Higgs branch of its mirror dual, and vice versa. Over the past decades, extensive effort has been devoted to charting the landscape of 3D mirror pairs, though progress has often been constrained by the need to identify suitable brane configurations. In this first installment, we introduce a new quiver-based algorithm, termed growth and fusion, which completes a quartet of Higgsing algorithms alongside decay and fission, quiver subtraction, and quiver addition. Together, these four algorithms provide a systematic framework that circumvents the limitations of brane constructions, enabling us to determine the mirror dual of a given quiver and to systematically bootstrap new 3D mirror pairs. We demonstrate the power of this approach on a new class of circular 3D mirror pairs.

Data Integration and spatio temporal statistics can quantify relative risk of medico-legal reforms: the example of police emergency mental health responses in Queensland (Australia)

This study examined the spatial-temporal dynamics of Emergency Examination Order or Authority (EE-O/A) admissions in Far Northern Queensland (FNQ) from 2009 to 2020, using 13,035 unique police records aggregated across 83 postcodes. A two-stage modelling framework was used: Lasso was used to identify a parsimonious set of socio economic and health-service covariates, and a Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) model incorporated these predictors with structured spatial and temporal random effects. This research demonstrates that socio-economic disadvantage and service accessibility drive EE-O/A incidence, underscoring the need for targeted mental-health interventions and resource allocation in impoverished FNQ communities. Limitations include reliance on cross-sectional census data for covariates and potential ecological bias from data fusion.

Symmetric Rearrangement and Geometric Inequalities on Riemannian Manifolds

This paper starts by introducing results from geometric measure theory to prove symmetric decreasing rearrangement inequalities on $\mathbb{R}^n$, which give multiple proofs of the isoperimetric and P\'{o}lya-Szeg\H{o} inequalities. Then we consider smooth oriented Riemannian manifolds of the form $M^n = (0,\infty)\times \Sigma^{n-1}$, and test what results carry over from the $\mathbb{R}^n$ setting or what assumptions about $M^n$ need to be added. Of particular interest was proving the smooth co-area formula in the Riemannian manifolds setting and re-formulating particular geometric inequalities.

Advancements In Crowd-Monitoring System: A Comprehensive Analysis of Systematic Approaches and Automation Algorithms: State-of-The-Art

Growing apprehensions surrounding public safety have captured the attention of numerous governments and security agencies across the globe. These entities are increasingly acknowledging the imperative need for reliable and secure crowd-monitoring systems to address these concerns. Effectively managing human gatherings necessitates proactive measures to prevent unforeseen events or complications, ensuring a safe and well-coordinated environment. The scarcity of research focusing on crowd monitoring systems and their security implications has given rise to a burgeoning area of investigation, exploring potential approaches to safeguard human congregations effectively. Crowd monitoring systems depend on a bifurcated approach, encompassing vision-based and non-vision-based technologies. An in-depth analysis of these two methodologies will be conducted in this research. The efficacy of these approaches is contingent upon the specific environment and temporal context in which they are deployed, as they each offer distinct advantages. This paper endeavors to present an in-depth analysis of the recent incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and models into automated systems, emphasizing their contemporary applications and effectiveness in various contexts.

The Effectiveness of Applying Different Strategies on Recognition and Recall Textual Password

Using English words as passwords have been a popular topic in the last few years. The following article discusses a study to compare self-selection of the system-generated words for recognition and self-generated words for recall for nouns and mixture words. The results revealed no significant difference between recognition and recall of password nouns. The average memorability rate of noun recognition was 75.72%, slightly higher than noun recall 74.23% in long-term memory. Also, there was no significant difference between recognition and recall mixture word passwords. The average memorability rate of mixture word recognition was 95.23%, and recall was 84.14% in long-term memory. The authors concluded that the recognition and recall of mixed word passwords had a higher memorability rate than nouns.

Generalised root identities for zeta functions of curves over finite fields

We consider generalised root identities for zeta functions of curves over finite fields, ζ_{k}, and compare with the corresponding analysis for the Riemann zeta function. We verify numerically that, as for ζ, the ζ_{k} do satisfy the generalised root identities and we investigate these in detail for the special cases of μ=0,-1\:\&\:-2. Unlike for ζ, however, we show that in the setting of zeta functions of curves over finite fields the μ=-2 root identity is consistent with the Riemann hypothesis (RH) proved by Weil. Comparison of this analysis with the corresponding calculations for ζilluminates the fact that, even though both ζand ζ_{k} have both Euler and Hadamard product representations, it is the detailed structure of the counting function, N(T), which drives the Cesaro computations on the root side of these identities and thereby determines the implications of the root identities for RH in each setting.

Exact & Numerical Tests of Generalised Root Identities for non-integer μ

We consider the generalised root identities introduced in [1] for simple functions, and also for Γ(z+1) and ζ(s). In this paper, unlike [1], we focus on the case of noninteger μ. For the simplest function f(z)=z, and hence for arbitrary polynomials, we show that they are satisfied for arbitrary real μ (and hence for arbitrary complex μ by analytic continuation). Using this, we then develop an asymptotic formula for the derivative side of the root identities for Γ(z+1) at arbitrary real μ, from which we are able to demonstrate numerically that Γ(z+1) also satisfies the generalised root identities for arbitrary μ, not just integer values. Finally we examine the generalised root identites for ζ also for non-integer values of μ. Having shown in [1] that ζ satisfies these identities exactly for integer μ>1 (and also for μ=1 after removal of an obstruction), in this paper we present strong numerical evidence first that ζ satisfies them for arbitrary μ>1 where the root side is classically convergent, and then that this continues to be true also for -1<μ<1 where Césaro divergences must be removed and Césaro averaging of the residual partial-sum functions is required (when μ<0). Careful consideration of a neighbourhood of μ=0 also sheds light on the appearance of the 2d ln-divergence that was handled heuristically in [1] and why the assignment of 2d Césaro limit 0 to this in [1] is justified. The numerical calculations for μ>0 are bundled in portable R-code; the code for the case -1<μ<0, including the Césaro averaging required when μ<0, is in VBA. Both the R-scripts and XL spreadsheet are made available with this paper, along with supporting files, and can be readily used to further verify these claims.

Generalised Cesaro Convergence, Root Identities and the Riemann Hypothesis

We extend the notion of generalised Cesaro summation/convergence developed previously to the more natural setting of what we call "remainder" Cesaro summation/convergence and, after illustrating the utility of this approach in deriving certain classical results, use it to develop a notion of generalised root identities. These extend elementary root identities for polynomials both to more general functions and to a family of identities parametrised by a complex parameter \mu. In so doing they equate one expression (the derivative side) which is defined via Fourier theory, with another (the root side) which is defined via remainder Cesaro summation. For \mu a non-positive integer these identities are naturally adapted to investigating the asymptotic behaviour of the given function and the geometric distribution of its roots. For the Gamma function we show that it satisfies the generalised root identities and use them to constructively deduce Stirling's theorem. For the Riemann zeta function the implications of the generalised root identities for \mu=0,-1 and -2 are explored in detail; in the case of \mu=-2 a symmetry of the non-trivial roots is broken and allows us to conclude, after detailed computation, that the Riemann hypothesis must be false. In light of this, some final direct discussion is given of areas where the arguments used throughout the paper are deficient in rigour and require more detailed justification. The conclusion of section 1 gives guidance on the most direct route through the paper to the claim regarding the Riemann hypothesis.
