Abstract

A further significant extension is presented of the infinitely large class of differential algebras of generalized functions which are the basic structures in the nonlinear algebraic theory listed under 46F30 in the AMS Mathematical Subject Classification. These algebras are constructed as {\it reduced powers}, when seen in terms of Model Theory. The major advantage of these differential algebras of generalized functions is that they allow their elements to have singularities on {\it dense} subsets of their domain of definition, and {\it without} any restrictions on the respective generalized functions in the neighbourhood of their singularities. Their applications have so far been in 1) solving large classes of systems of nonlinear PDEs, 2) highly singular problems in Differential Geometry, with respective applications in modern Physics, including General Relativity and Quantum Gravity. These infinite classes of algebras contain as a particular case the Colombeau algebras, since in the latter algebras rather strongly limiting growth conditions, namely, of polynomial type, are required on the generalized functions in the neighbourhood of their singularities.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

The decrease in sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions

In the paper, the author develops a general convexity lemma and applies it to demonstrate the monotonic decrease of a function involving polygamma functions, arising from the sectional curvature of the Fisher--Rao manifold of beta distributions.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
