Summenformeln, allen voran die Gauß’sche Summenformel \(\sum_{i=1}^{n}i=\frac{n}{2}(n+1)\), gehören zum Grundwissen eines jeden Mathematikers. Wir wollen in dieser Arbeit Verallgemeinerungen der Gauß’schen Summenformel der Form \(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sum_{j=1}^{i}j\) betrachten, wie sie die Anzahl der Gläser in einer Champagnerpyramide der Höhe \(n\) bes...

We study the superradiant stability of the system of a Kerr black hole and a massive scalar perturbation. It was proved previously that this system is superradiantly stable when $\mu\geq \sqrt{2}m\Omega_H$, where $\mu$ is the proper mass of the scalar, $m$ is the azimuthal number of the scalar mode, and $\Omega_H$ is the angular velocity of the Ker...

We consider bichromatic point sets with $n$ red and $n$ blue points and study straight-line bichromatic perfect matchings on them. We show that every such point set in convex position admits a matching with at least $\frac{3n^2}{8}-\frac{n}{2}+c$ crossings, for some $ -\frac{1}{2} \leq c \leq \frac{1}{8}$. This bound is tight since for any $k> \fra...

We investigate when there is a partition of a positive integer n n , n = f ( λ 1 ) + f ( λ 2 ) + ⋯ + f ( λ ℓ ) , n=f\left({\lambda }_{1})+f\left({\lambda }_{2})+\cdots +f\left({\lambda }_{\ell }), satisfying that 1 = χ p ( λ 1 ) λ 1 + χ p ( λ 2 ) λ 2 + ⋯ + χ p ( λ ℓ ) λ ℓ , 1=\frac{{\chi }_{p}\left({\lambda }_{1})}{{\lambda }_{1}}+\frac{{\chi }_{p}...

We call an order type inscribable if it is realized by a point configuration where all extreme points are all on a circle. In this paper, we investigate inscribability of order types. We first construct an infinite family of minimally uninscribable order types. The proof of uninscribability mainly uses Möbius transformations and the Frantz ellipse....

In this paper we prove the following result: Let Q be a quadrilateral which has minimal width w(Q), or simply width, equal to 1. Then there exists a triangle T inscribed in Q such that w(T)≥32≈.866.\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathr...

Here, we propose, prove mathematically and discuss maximum and minimum measures of maximum parsimony evolution across 12 discrete phylogenetic character types, classified across 4467 morphological and molecular datasets. Covered character types are: constant, binary symmetric, multistate unordered (non‐additive) symmetric, multistate linear ordered symmetric, multistate non‐linear ordered symmetric, binary irreversible, multistate irreversible, binary Dollo, multistate Dollo, multistate custom symmetric, binary custom asymmetric and multistate custom asymmetric characters. We summarize published solutions and provide and prove a range of new formulae for the algebraic calculation of minimum ( m ), maximum ( g ) and maximum possible ( g max ) character cost for applicable character types. Algorithms for exhaustive calculation of m , g and g max applicable to all classified character types (within computational limits on the numbers of taxa and states) are also provided. The general algorithmic solution for minimum steps ( m ) is identical to a minimum spanning tree on the state graph or minimum weight spanning arborescence on the state digraph. Algorithmic solutions for character g and g max are based on matrix mathematics equivalent to optimization on the star tree, respectively for given state frequencies and all possible state frequencies meeting specified numbers of taxa and states. We show that maximizing possible cost ( g max ) with given transition costs can be equivalent to maximizing, across all possible state frequency combinations, the lowest implied cost of state transitions if any one state is ancestral on the star tree, via the solution of systems of linear equations. The methods we present, implemented in the Claddis R package, extend to a comprehensive range, the fundamental character types for which homoplasy may be measured under parsimony using m , g and g max , including extra cost ( h ), consistency index ( ci ), retention index ( ri ) or indices based thereon.
