Specifically, we prove that the functions F(z), F(z4), F′(z), and F′(z4) are algebraically independent over ℂ(z). An application of a celebrated result of Ku. Nishioka then allows one to replace ℂ(z) by ℚ when evaluating these functions at a nonzero algebraic number α in the unit disc.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:22:41 AEST ]]> General lower bounds on maximal determinants of binary matrices https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28734 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:10:08 AEST ]]> Probabilistic lower bounds on maximal determinants of binary matrices https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26737 n/2 be the ratio of D(n) to the Hadamard upper bound. Using the probabilistic method, we prove new lower bounds on D(n) and R(n) in terms of d = n - h, where h is the order of a Hadamard matrix and h is maximal subject to h ≤ n. For example, [forumal cannot be replicated]. By a recent result of Livinskyi, d²/h1/2 → 0 as n → 8, so the second bound is close to (πe/2)-d/2 for large n. Previous lower bounds tended to zero as n → ∞ with d fixed, except in the cases d ∈ {0, 1}. For d ≥ 2, our bounds are better for all sufficiently large n. If the Hadamard conjecture is true, then d ≤ 3, so the first bound above shows that R(n) is bounded below by a positive constant (πe/2)-3/2 > 0.1133.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:30:42 AEST ]]> On The Accuracy Of Asymptotic Approximations To The Log-Gamma And Riemann-Siegel Theta Functions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44432 0 from O(exp(−πt)) to O(exp(−2πt)).

In this new realm, reproducibility comes to the forefront as an essential part of the computational research enterprise, and establishing procedures to ensure and facilitate reproducibility is now a central focus of researchers in the field. In this study, we describe our attempts to reproduce the results of a recently published article by Reinhard Ganz, who concluded that the decimal expansion of p is not statistically random, based on an analysis of several trillion decimal digits provided by Yee and Kondo. While we are able to reproduce the specific findings of Ganz, additional statistical analysis leads us to reject his overall conclusion.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:34:53 AEDT ]]> On minors of maximal determinant matrices https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28706 n has no proper Hadamard submatrix of order m > n/2. We generalize this result to maximal determinant submatrices of Hadamard matrices, and show that an interval of length ~ n/2 is excluded from the allowable orders. We make a conjecture regarding a lower bound for sums of squares of minors of maximal determinant matrices, and give evidence to support it. We give tables of the values taken by the minors of all maximal determinant matrices of orders ≤ 21 and make some observations on the data. Finally, we describe the algorithms that were used to compute the tables.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:08 AEDT ]]> Note on best possible bounds for determinants of matrices close to the identity matrix https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26948 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:02 AEDT ]]> Some binomial sums involving absolute values https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24828 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:13 AEDT ]]> The Borwein brothers, Pi and the AGM https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40448 Fri 29 Jul 2022 08:26:00 AEST ]]>
