A recurrence relation between equal mass two-loop sunrise diagrams differing in dimensionality by 2 is derived and it's solution in terms of Gauss' 2 F 1 and Appell's F 2 hypergeometric functions is presented. For arbitrary space-time dimension d the imaginary part of the diagram on the cut is found to be the 2 F 1 hypergeometric function with argument proportional to the maximum of the Kibble ...

Consider a stochastic difference equation xi+1 = Gi [xi, xi−1, . . . , x0] + fi [xi, xi−1, . . . , x0] + k0 ∑ k=0 σi−k [xi−k, xi−k−1, . . . , x0] ξi+1−k, (1) with the Volterra type nonlinear main term G and the Volterra type noise f + ∑k0 k=0 σi−kξi+1−k. Functions Gi, fi, σi are random while ξi is a martingale-difference. In general, k0 ≥ 1 so Eqn (1) cannot be considered as a stochastic equati...

We present a version of Opial’s inequality for time scales and point out some of its applications to so-called dynamic equations. Such dynamic equations contain both differential equations and difference equations as special cases. Various extensions of our inequality are offered as well.

This paper is concerned with the existence of nonoscillatory solutions for the nonlinear dynamic equation p t ψ ◦ x x Δ Δ q t f ◦ x 0 on time scales. By making use of the generalized Riccati transformation technique, we establish some necessary and sufficient criteria to guarantee the existence. The last examples show that our results can be applied on the differential equations, the difference...

We characterize, under some technical assumptions and up to a conjecture, probability distributions of finite all order moments with ultraspherical type generating functions for orthogonal polynomials. Our method is based on differential equations and the obtained measures are particular Beta distributions. We actually recover the free Meixner family of probability distributions so that our met...

The nodes of the de Bruijn graph B(d, 3) consist of all strings of length 3, taken from an alphabet of size d, with edges between words which are distinct substrings of a word of length 4. We give an inductive characterization of the maximum independent sets of the de Bruijn graphs B(d, 3) and for the de Bruijn graph of diameter three with loops removed, for arbitrary alphabet size. We derive a...

−∞ φ(t− ξ) · Φ(νt) dt, where φ and Φ are the pdf and cdf of N(0, 1), respectively. We derive two recurrence formulas for the effective computation of its values. We show that with an algorithm for this function, we can efficiently compute the second-order terms of Bonferroni-type inequalities yielding the upper and lower bounds for the distribution of a max-type binary segmentation statistic in...

The method of recurrence plots is extended to the cross recurrence plots (CRP), which among others enables the study of synchronization or time differences in two time series. This is emphasized in a distorted main diagonal in the cross recurrence plot, the line of synchronization (LOS). A non-parametrical fit of this LOS can be used to rescale the time axis of the two data series (whereby one ...

Given a set of time series, we aim at finding representatives which best comprehend the recurring temporal patterns contained in the data. We demonstrate BestTime, a Matlab application that uses recurrence quantification analysis to find time series representatives.

This paper deals with the stability problem of nonlinear delay difference equations with linear parts defined by permutable matrices. Several criteria for exponential stability of systems with different types of nonlinearities are proved. Finally, a stability result for a model of population dynamics is proved by applying one of them.
