A note on certain inequalities for the gamma function.
350 years ago in Spring of 1655 Sir William Brouncker on a request by John Wallis obtained a beautiful continued fraction for 4/π. Brouncker never published his proof. Many sources on the history of Mathematics claim that this proof was lost forever. In this paper we recover the original proof from Wallis' remarks presented in his Arithmetica Infinitorum. We show that Brouncker's and Wallis' formulas can be extended to MacLaurin's sinusoidal spirals via related Euler's products. We derive Ramanujan's...
A correct formulation of the Lion-Rolin Preparation Theorem for logarithmic-subanalytic functions (LA-functions) is given.
The aim of the present note is to derive an integral transform involving the product of the Whittaker function and the Bessel function of the first kind of order . As a by-product, we also derive certain new integral transforms as particular cases for some special values of the parameters and of the Whittaker function. Eventually, we show the application of the integral in the propagation of hollow higher-order circular Lorentz-cosh-Gaussian beams through an ABCD optical system (see,...
