Abstract

The perimeter of an ellipse is expressed exactly through the complete elliptic integral of the second kind, motivating accurate closed-form approximations. We introduce ELIP (Ellipse Linear Interpolated Perimeter), a family built by correcting the straight line joining the two exact normalized endpoint values. Two branches are developed: logarithmic-power corrections with optional deformation and exponential modulators, and rational-logarithmic corrections incorporating the exact asymptotic behavior of highly elongated ellipses. The framework distinguishes coefficients fixed analytically by Maclaurin matching from parameters optimized numerically by minimax fitting. Compact rationalized formulas achieve maximum relative errors of approximately 6.84, 3.57, 0.904, and 1.596 ppm. An ELIP R5,2 + 3 log formula with three fitted degrees of freedom has a certified maximum relative error below 0.001623 ppm. For ELIP R5,3 + 3 log, all rational-core coefficients are determined by exact Maclaurin matching. A one-parameter multiplicative correction, 1 - A*h^12*(1-h)^(7/4), reduces the certified global error bound to below 0.000452 ppm. This formula matches the exact perimeter series through h^8, while the correction starts at order h^12. The results provide a systematic approach combining exact endpoint geometry, local series constraints, elongated-limit logarithmic asymptotics, and low-dimensional numerical optimization.

A Local Proof of Langlands's First Main Lemma for Local Epsilon Factors over Nonarchimedean Local Fields

We give a complete local proof of Langlands's First Main Lemma for local epsilonfactors over nonarchimedean local fields. The proof builds on Dwork's p-adic calculations and Langlands's formulation of the local method. The present paper reformulates these calculations in a common normalization and extends the argument to equal characteristic. A more systematic treatment of stationary parameters and conductor cases is intended to make the calculations easier to follow. The author has also completed a local proof of Langlands's Second Main Lemma. Together with the present result and Langlands's remaining reductions, this gives a complete proof of the local construction of local epsilon factors envisioned by Langlands.

Spatial Complex Variables and Applications

We introduce a new kind of numbers $s=e_{xy}(x+iy)+z$ called Spatial Complex Numbers and establish a new theory of Spatial Complex Variables here where $e_{xy}$ denotes the $xy$ coordinate plane. Studies of the theory of spatial complex variables include: (1) Definition and algebras; (2) Analytic functions, Cauchy-Riemann equations, and spatial harmonic functions; (3) Elementary functions; (4) Spatial contour integrals; (5) Surface integrals; (6) Taylor and Laurent series; (7) Residue theorem; (8) Conformal mapping; (9) Applications of three-dimensional fluid flow and Navier-Stokes equations; (10) The Schwarz-Christoffel transformation; (11) Spatial circle and spherical surface integral formulas of the Poisson type; (12) Applications of residues in two-dimensional improper integrals; (13) Joukowski transformation and applications for airfoils. Results show that spatial complex numbers are with good properties of fields just as the two-dimensional complex numbers. Spatial complex numbers follow the commutative and associative laws of multiplication of numbers, the distributive law of addition and multiplication of numbers, and other laws of numbers. The theory of spatial complex variables can be used to solve many three-dimensional problems in sciences and technologies, such as expressed by the three-dimensional Laplace equation. So numbers are developed from the real and two-dimensional complex numbers to three-dimensional complex numbers, and the number system is enlarged.

Prescribed Primitive Roots And The Least Primes

Let $q\ne \pm1,v^2$ be a fixed integer. The least prime number $p \geq2 $ such that $q$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ is conjectured to be $p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)),$ where $\gcd(p,q)=1$. This note proves the existence of a small subset of primes $p$ that satisfies the stated upper bound.
