Abstract

The resummation of superfactorially divergent series represents a significant computational challenge in mathematical physics. In the present paper the resummation of a specific class of Stieltjes series characterized by a moment sequence growing as $(2n)!$ will be addressed. Despite the fact that Carleman's condition is satisfied for these series, the convergence rate of Padé approximants is severely hindered by the logarithmic divergence of the associated Carleman series. Weniger's $δ$ transformation is proposed as a highly efficient alternative resummation tool. By employing recently established results on the converging factors of superfactorially divergent Stieltjes series, an exact integral representation for the truncation error is obtained. This representation enables the rigorous derivation of the leading-order asymptotic behavior of the transformation error, as well as the estimation of the related convergence rate, for real positive arguments. Numerical experiments strongly support the theoretical findings, suggesting that the $δ$ transformation offers a robust and computationally efficient framework for decoding this class of wildly divergent expansions

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. Liu proposed the conjecture \[ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \ge 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,\qquad k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $k<1$. We prove this conjecture by reducing it to an algebraic inequality for three positive variables with prescribed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.

A quadratic critical-value conjecture for the fifth Bessel moment

We conjecture an explicit evaluation of the pure fifth Bessel moment $\int_0^\infty K_0(t)^5\,dt$ as a quadratic expression in the critical value $L(f,2)$ of the weight-three, level-60 newform $f$ (LMFDB orbit 60.3.b.a) identified in the twisted fifth-moment modularity theorem of Lim, Tu and Yu, with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and the square taken before the real and imaginary parts. Directed interval computations, using no stored Bessel or $L$-values, bound the absolute discrepancy by $10^{-358}$. We prove three exact modular identities for $f$: the Petersson-norm formula $\langle f,f\rangle_{60} = \frac{3(5-\sqrt{5})}{2π^4}|L(f,2)|^2$, the coefficient-conjugation relation $L(f^σ,2) = κL(f,2)$ with explicit $κ\in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5},i)$, and the twisted symmetric-square evaluation $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2) = \sqrt{15}\,π^2 \langle f,f\rangle_{60}$, together with $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,3) = π^4\langle f,f\rangle_{60}/8$, in the full Euler-factor normalization of Lim, Tu and Yu. The last identity shows that the companion norm conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = \frac{3\sqrt{15}(5-\sqrt{5})}{2}|L(f,2)|^2$ is equivalent to the symmetric-square conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = π^2 L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2)$ of Lim, Tu and Yu, while the exact relation $D_{5,\mathrm{even}} = π^2 D_{5,\mathrm{odd}}/(2\sqrt{15})$ follows from Chuang's period formulas. Every Bessel-to-modular equality, including the individual-period formula, remains conjectural. Complete proofs, exact rational certificates and verification programs are included as ancillary files.
