In this thesis we provide a body of knowledge that concerns Riemann zeta-function and its generalizations in a cohesive manner. In particular, we have studied and mentioned some recent results regarding Hurwitz and Lerch functions, as well as Dirichlet’s L-function. We have also investigated some fundamental concepts related to these functions and their universality properties. In addition, we ...

Absolute and Relative Stability. A control system is called absolutely stable if the controlled transfer function Hd(s) from the reference signal yd(s) to the output signal y(s) has all of its poles in the open left half plane. One technique for determining absolute stability of a control system is the Routh-Hurwitz stability analysis technique. This very useful technique is presented in Sectio...

We study smooth maps from an open subset of a real projective space to a sphere such that all germs of straight lines go to germs of circles (or points). We give a construction of such maps based on representations of Clifford algebras. It provides a complete purely geometric description of Clifford algebras representations in terms of circles. We also describe a connection between our problem ...

Assuming that φ : Sym(E) → F is a morphism of vector bundles on a variety X, we compute the class of the locus in X where Ker(φ) contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many applications to moduli theory: (i) we find a simple proof of Borcherds’ result that the Hodge class on the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of fixed genus is of Noether-Lefschetz type, (ii) we construc...

We study the equivariant Gromov-Witten theory of a rank 2 vector bundle N over a nonsingular curve X of genus g: (i) We define a TQFT using the Gromov-Witten partition functions. The full theory is determined in the TQFT formalism from a few exact calculations. We use a reconstruction result proven jointly with C. Faber and A. Okounkov in the appendix. X and N is equipped with the anti-diagonal...

The paper is concerned with asymptotic stability properties of linear switched systems. Under the hypothesis that all the subsystems share a non strict quadratic Lyapunov function, we provide a large class of switching signals for which a large class of switched systems are asymptotically stable. For this purpose we define what we call non chaotic inputs, which generalize the different notions ...

The size of the base of deformations of curves acted fiberwise by groups that exceed the classical Hurwitz bound is studied. Under the assumption that curves can be not trivially deformed together with the automorphism group the bounds for the automorphism group in positive characteristic are improved.

In this article, a new fractional order one–country game model (OCGM) with distinct incidence is explored. We propose a mathematical system to model this situation. All the feasible equilibria of the system are obtained and the conditions for the existence of the interior equilibrium are determined. The basic reproduction numbers R0 = β (α+1)(γ+μ) and R∗ 0 = E rv are found. It is shown that the...

The Stieltjes coefficients γk(a) arise in the expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(s, a) about its single simple pole at s = 1 and are of fundamental and long-standing importance in analytic number theory and other disciplines. We present an array of exact results for the Stieltjes coefficients, including series representations and summatory relations. Other integral representations provide...

Let A be either the real field R, or the complex field C, or the skew field Q of quaternions. Let Au A2, • ■ ■ , Ak be nXn matrices with entries from A. Consider a typical linear combination E"-iV^> with real coefficients Xy; we shall say that the set {A¡} "has the property P" if such a linear combination is nonsingular (invertible) except when all the coefficients X> are zero. We shall write A...
