Efficient representations of Green’s functions for some elliptic equations with piecewise-constant coefficients

Yuri Melnikov (2010)

Open Mathematics

Convenient for immediate computer implementation equivalents of Green’s functions are obtained for boundary-contact value problems posed for two-dimensional Laplace and Klein-Gordon equations on some regions filled in with piecewise homogeneous isotropic conductive materials. Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin conditions are allowed on the outer boundary of a simply-connected region, while conditions of ideal contact are assumed on interface lines. The objective in this study is to widen the range of...

Nilakantha's accelerated series for π

David Brink (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show how the idea behind a formula for π discovered by the Indian mathematician and astronomer Nilakantha (1445-1545) can be developed into a general series acceleration technique which, when applied to the Gregory-Leibniz series, gives the formula π = n = 0 ( ( 5 n + 3 ) n ! ( 2 n ) ! ) / ( 2 n - 1 ( 3 n + 2 ) ! ) with convergence as 13 . 5 - n , in much the same way as the Euler transformation gives π = n = 0 ( 2 n + 1 n ! n ! ) / ( 2 n + 1 ) ! with convergence as 2 - n . Similar transformations lead to other accelerated series for π, including three “BBP-like” formulas, all of which are collected in the Appendix....
