We firstly consider an investor faced with the classical Merton problem of optimal investment in a log-Brownian asset and a fixed-interest bond, but constrained only to change portfolio (and, if relevant, consumption) choices at times which are a multiple of h . We show that the cost of this constraint can be well described by a power series expansion in h , the first few terms of which we dete...

Starting from the power series expansions of (sin −1 x) q , for 1 ≤ q ≤ 4, formulae are obtained for the sum of several infinite series. Some of these evaluations involve ζ(3).

We define p-adic multiple zeta and log gamma functions using multiple Volkenborn integrals, and develop some of their properties. Although our functions are close analogues of classical Barnes multiple zeta and log gamma functions and have many properties similar to them, we find that our p-adic analogues also satisfy reflection functional equations which have no analogues to the complex case. ...

Given integers s and t, define a function φs,t on the space of all formal complex series expansions by φs,t( P

An overview is given to a new approach for obtaining generalized Fourier transforms in the context of hypercomplex analysis (or Clifford analysis). These transforms are applicable to higher-dimensional signals with several components and are different from the classical Fourier transform in that they mix the components of the signal. Subsequently, attention is focused on the special case of the...

an infinitely long hollow cylinder containing isotropic linear elastic material is considered under the effect of arbitrary boundary stress and thermal condition. the two-dimensional coupled thermoelastodynamic pdes are specified based on equations of motion and energy equation, which are uncoupled using nowacki potential functions. the laplace integral transform and bessel-fourier series are u...
