A New Binary Encoding Disk from Shen Nong's Diagrams in I-Ching and Its Application -- Also Uncovering the e, φ, Spiral Fractal, Fibonacci and TM Sequences in the Encoding Disk

Authors: Hua-Fang Wu
Comments: 24 Pages. In Chinese

The Shen Nong's Diagrams of I-Ching is a set of "the dichotomy approach" Diagrams of I-Ching discovered by the author in 1994, which has been published in Chinese core journals. The diagram contains the geometric sequence of 1, 2, 4, 8... Shen Nong's Diagrams of I-Ching actually represents a new binary coding scheme with a specific arrangement and combination of YIN and YANG symbols, in which, the circular diagram constitutes an encoding disk that can be used as a photoelectric code disk. In recent years, the author has discovered that the Fibonacci sequence, TM sequence, φ, e, Pascal's triangle (Yang Hui Triangle), the integer value of the fine structure constant 137, and the spiral fractal structure, which cross coexistence on the encoding disk. Even the spiral structure of the Milky Way is very similar to the spiral of the encoding disk. This provides us with a new perspective and entry point for studying these mathematical and scientific issues and even the internal connections among them, and it is expected to that the encoding disk will be basic tool, which, like Pascal's triangle, will be widely used in the field of mathematical and scientific research.

Triples "Ф, e, π" and "π, 4, 6" as Input Data for Modified Koide-Formulas and the Common Grounds of the Results

Authors: Andreas Ball
Comments: 8 Pages.

In this report the common grounds of the results of modified Koide-Formulas are presented, in which the Triples "Ф, e, π" and "π, 4, 6" are set as basis values of various exponents.The figures of the first Triple are the Quotient of the Golden Ratio Ф, the Euler Figure Figure e and the Circle Figure π. Besides the circle/sphere diameter the figures of the second Triple "π, 4, 6" determine the circle area and the sphere volume. The exact exponent value, which results by the Equalization of the two modified Koide-Formulas, is close to the figure 0.444, which is also used at an approximation for the mass ratio of the elementar particles Tauon and Electron. The results of the two Koide-Formulas are close to each other over a relatively wide exponent range.

Comments: 5 Pages.

This article presents an extraordinarily simple proof of Fermat's Last Theorem (FLT), which may be the "marvelous proof" he claimed to have, but which did not fit in the margin of the book he was reading (the Arithmetica of Diophantus of Alexandria). As a consequence of the proof, an alternative formulation of the Pythagorean terns is arrived at.

Some Missed Opportunities for Archimedes and Early pi-Computors

Authors: Warren D. Smith
Comments: 4 Pages.

We point out some simple improvements to Archimedes' "regular polygon methods" for computing and bounding π , which all the workers before 1650 could have used, but did not. All methods employed before the 1970s to compute the first D decimals of π required order D or more arithmetic operations (±, ×, ÷, x1/2, x-1/2). But we shall show that if Archimedes or his followers had been a bit smarter, they could have sped that up to O(D2/3).

Proof of the Collatz Conjecture

Authors: Uğur Pervane
Comments: 4 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

The Collatz conjecture has long been unresolved. This paper will provide a proof of the Collatz conjecture. The proof will begin by noting that if the conjecture is false, there must be infinitely many examples that violate the conjecture, and will emphasize the impossibility of this scenario. Using probability within the Collatz problem, we can demonstrate that a certain portion of numbers will reach one according to the Collatz algorithm. The total probability must sum to one for the conjecture to be true. If the total probability does not sum to one, it will be a number very close to one. However, if the probability total is even one in a million less than one, there must be an infinite number of numbers that do not satisfy the Collatz algorithm, because a finite number cannot make up for the probability shortfall. This means that there must either be sequences that increase exponentially to infinity or cycles that repeat themselves. However, the probability of selecting the elements of a single sequence that increases to infinity from an infinite set is zero, so there must be infinitely many sequences that increase to infinity and violate the algorithm. The self-repeating cycles must also be infinite in number, but the number of elements in the cycles cannot go to infinity, so there must be infinitely many cycles with the same number of elements. This is impossible, because cycles with the same number of elements are finitely arranged within themselves, and a single element that violates the algorithm will emerge from any of these arrangements. An infinite number of sequences increasing to infinity is also impossible because they would intersect each other. As a result, the Collatz conjecture is true.

The Philosophical Nature of Zero, Negative, and Imaginary Numbers and the Use of Polar Coordinates in Complex Number Calculations

Authors: Bryce Petofi Towne
Comments: 12 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: AI generated contents/results are in general not acceptable)

Mathematics serves as an abstract tool to study the natural world and its laws, aiding in our understanding and description of natural phenomena. In mathematics, real numbers, imaginary numbers, zero, and negative numbers are fundamental concepts, each with its unique importance and application. However, the philosophical nature of these concepts warrants further exploration. This paper aims to discuss the philosophical essence of imaginary numbers, zero, and negative numbers, argue that imaginary numbers have real-world counterparts, and explore the rationale and advantages of representing imaginary and complex numbers using polar coordinates. Furthermore, we extend our findings to more advanced mathematical problems in complex analysis, differential equations, and number theory, demonstrating the broader impact of our work.

The so-Called Extrinsic Method

Authors: Thierry L. A. Periat
Comments: 12 Pages.

The theory of the (E) question is concerned with the decomposition (synonym: division) of deformed tensor (resp. Lie) products. A first mathematical method (the intrinsic one) has been developed for the decomposition of deformed cross products. It only works in three-dimensional spaces and brings incomplete results. This document proposes a second approach bringing complete results, i.e.: the main and the residual parts of each decomposition, whatever the dimension D (D in N - {0, 1}) of the mathematical space is. But the method is plagued with a logical uncertainty. Fortunately, in any three-dimensional space, both methods can be calibrated through diverse scenarios. One of them may catch the attention of physicists since it re-introduces E. Cartan’s metrics induced by the evolution of surfaces.

Buffon’s Needle Without π

Authors: Mieczysław Szyszkowicz
Comments: 4 Pages.

Buffon's needle problem, posed by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in the 18th century, stands as a cornerstone in the realm of geometric probability. The problem encapsulates a scenario where a needle of a given length is dropped randomly onto a floor composed of parallel strips of equal width. The inquiry revolves around determining the likelihood that the needle will intersect a line between two strips. Here a new solution of this classical problem is proposed.

Unlocking New Perspectives in Science and Engineering: The Sphere-Base-One Mathematical System

Authors: Athon Zeno
Comments: 5 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite and list scientific references)

The Sphere-Base-One mathematical system is a novel framework that takes the sphere as the fundamental unit of volume and redefines the relationships between spheres, cubes, and other geometric objects. This innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on the nature of space and volume, challenging conventional notions of geometry and opening up new avenues for interdisciplinary research and discovery. By focusing on the sphere as the primary building block and exploring the negative space around it, the Sphere-Base-One system has the potential to unlock new insights and solutions in a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines, including quantum physics, cosmology, surface chemistry, fluid dynamics, and electrical engineering. The simplification and reformulation of key equations in the Sphere-Base-One system may lead to easier calculations and, more importantly, to the identification of patterns and relationships that were previously obscured by the limitations of the traditional Cube-Base-One system. While not intended to replace the existing mathematical framework, the Sphere-Base-One system serves as a complementary tool that can be applied in parallel to drive progress and innovation across multiple fields. This article introduces the core concepts of the Sphere-Base-One system, explores its potential applications, and discusses the implications of this new mathematical paradigm for the future of scientific research and technological advancement.

Truncated Taylor Solvers for Simple First-Order Ordinary Differential Equations

Authors: Steven Kenneth Kauffmann
Comments: 2 Pages.

Certain exact solutions of first-order ordinary differential equations naturally become corresponding solvers for simple first-order ordinary differential equations whose form is the equality of a twice continuously differentiable function of the dependent variable to the derivative with respect the independent variable of the dependent variable. When the twice continuously differentiable function of the dependent variable is replaced by its truncated Taylor expansions through second order about its initial value, the resulting first-order ordinary differential equations have exact solutions that naturally become corresponding solvers for those simple first-order ordinary differential equations.

This document states the relevant basic assumptions of Mathematics that lead to some of the salient features of Abstract Mathematics. These features are then deduced from these assumptions in a fundamental way. Infinitesimals and Infinitesimal Numbers are introduced and then used in an example of a Riemann sum to create a contradiction that motivates the introduction of Leibnizian Mathematics as a model for Mathematics that is supplemental to Abstract Mathematics. Leibnizian Mathematics is then introduced by stating its basic assumptions. Lastly a list of the meanings of some words that are common to both models, but describe properties that differ between the models, is given. The reader is then referred to the document LEIBNIZIAN MATHEMATICS, posted on the link stated in the Comments below, where this model is developed.

Foundations of Differential Calculus: Does the Theory Satisfy the Criterion of Truth?

Authors: Temur Z. Kalanov
Comments: 16 Pages.

A detailed proof of the incorrectness of the foundations of the differential calculus is proposed. The correct methodological basis for the proof is the unity of formal logic and rational dialectics. The unity of formal logic and rational dialectics is the only correct criterion of truth. The proof leads to the following irrefutable statement: differential calculus represents an incorrect theory in mathematics and physics. The proof of this statement is based on the following irrefutable results: (1) the standard theory of infinitesimals and the theory of limits underlying the differential calculus are incorrect theories. The concepts of "infinitesimal quantity", "movement", "process of tendency", and "limit of tendency" are meaningless concepts in mathematics; (2) the concepts of "increment of argument" and "increment of function" as the starting point of the differential calculus are not defined correctly; (3) the definition of the derivative of a function is an incorrect because the following logical contradiction arises: the increment of the argument is both not equal to zero and equal to zero; (4) the differentials of the argument and the function - as infinitesimal quantities - do not take on numerical values. This means that the differentials of quantities have neither quantitative nor qualitative determinacy; (5) the definition of the total differential of a function of two (many) variables does not satisfy the formal-logical law of the lack (absence) of contradiction; (6) the theory of proportions completely refutes the theory of differential calculus. Thus, differential calculus does not satisfy the criterion of truth and is not correct scientific (mathematical) theory.

A Power Series Divergent at Half Pi Yields a Sequence Briskly Convergent to Pi

Authors: Steven Kenneth Kauffmann
Comments: 2 Pages.

The tangent function's Taylor expansion about zero is a series of odd powers with positive coefficients; it converges when the absolute value of its argument is less than half pi, and diverges to positive infinity when its argument equals half pi, so with the aid of the ratio test it is seen that twice the square root of the ratio of its successive coefficients is a sequence which converges to pi. The odd derivatives of the tangent function are polynomials in powers of its square with positive integer coefficients, so a recursion of positive integers can be found from which the coefficients of the series described above may be successively obtained. Its related sequence which converges to pi does so monotonically from above, and appears to refine its approximation to pi by about one significant decimal figure per successive term.

The Peculiar Case of "p"

Authors: Simon A. Pritchett
Comments: 63 Pages.

Division by zero is a phenomenon described by confused mathematicians for hundreds of years. I would like to declare the value of one divided by zero to be equal to "p". I shall call p the pseudo-imaginary unit, as it shares several characteristics with i, the imaginary unit, as they both solve difficult equations that cannot be solved with basic algebraic and arithmetic mathematical operations, and they both extend real numbers into a new, larger set of numbers. In the case of i, the set is known as the complex numbers, whereas with p, it is known as the "pseudo-complex numbers".

Comments: 17 Pages.

In this paper, we have found the exquisite relation between Stirling’s formula andinteresting expression for Glaisher—Kinkelin’s constant,Bendersky—Adamchik’sconstant, andhave introduced new constants astheir generalization.As we calculate the singular integral or sum of series in form of closed expression by introducingconstant π, Euler constant, Glaisher-Kinkelin’s constant,Bendersky—Adamchik’sconstant, new constantswill play important role in calculating of the sum of multi-series which has the multi-power in general term. To demonstrate the superiority of our new constants in several calculations, we propose an exampleWe show that our new constants generalize Glaisher—Kinkelin’s constant and Bendersky—Adamchik’s constant

A Theoretical Approach to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem using Dream Numbers

Authors: Oussama Basta
Comments: 13 Pages. (Name added to Article by viXra Admin as required)

This paper presents a theoretical exploration of the Navier-Stokes equations within the innovative framework of Dream Partial Differential Equations (DPDEs). Beginning with the concept of dream numbers and their application in defining new forms of derivatives, we extend these ideas to reformulate the Navier-Stokes equations. Our aim is to investigate whether this novel approach could potentially shed light on the Millennium Problem concerning the existence and smoothness of solutions to these equations in three dimensions.

Convergence Condition for the Newton-Raphson Method: Application in Real Polynomial Functions

Authors: Juan Jorge Isaac Lopez
Comments: 5 Pages.

The Newton-Raphson method applies to the numerical calculation of the roots of Real functions, through successive approximations towards the Root of the function. The Newton-Raphson method has the drawback that it does not always converge. This work establishes the convergence condition of the Newton-Raphson method for Real functions in general; once the convergence condition is met, the method will always converge towards the Root of the function. In this work, the development of the application of the convergence condition is established to specifically solve Real polynomial functions.

Weighted Riemann Zeta Limits on the Real Axis

Authors: Han Geurdes
Comments: 7 Pages.

It is investigated whether for real argument s the (s−1)n+1 weighted Riemann zeta ζ(n)(s) limits s ↓ 1 do exist. Here, we will look into n = 0,1. The answer to the question could very well be that assuming existence to be true gives a confusing outcome. That may support the possibility of incompleteness in concrete mathematics.
