Abstract The method of brackets is an efficient method for the evaluation of alarge class of definite integrals on the half-line. It is based on a small collection of rules, some of which are heuristic. The extension discussed here is based on the concepts of null and divergent series. These are formal representations of functions, whose coefficients an have meromorphic representations for n ∈ ℂ, but might vanish or blow up when n ∈ ℕ. These ideas are illustrated with the evaluation of a variety of entries from the classical table of integrals by Gradshteyn and Ryzhik.

Abstract The method of brackets, developed in the context of evaluation of integrals coming from Feynman diagrams, is a procedure to evaluate definite integrals over the half-line. This method consists of a small number of operational rules devoted to convert the integral into a bracket series. A second small set of rules evaluates this bracket series and produces the result as a regular series. The work presented here combines this method with the classical Mellin transform to extend the class of integrands where the method of brackets can be applied. A selected number of examples are used to illustrate this procedure.

We first characterize the global existence exponent $ p_0 = 1 $ and the Fujita exponent $ p_c = m+2 $. Then we pass to study the grow-up rate in the case $ p\le1 $ and the blow-up rate for $ p &gt; 1 $. In particular we show that the grow-up rate is different as for global reaction if $ p &gt; m $ or $ p = 1\neq m $.</p></abstract>

The numerical approximation of definite integrals, or quadrature, often involves the construction of an interpolant of the integrand and its subsequent integration. In the case of one dimension it is natural to rely on polynomial interpolants. However, their extension to two or more dimensions can be costly and unstable. An efficient method for computing surface integrals on the sphere is detailed in the literature (Reeger & Fornberg 2016 Stud. Appl. Math. 137 , 174–188. ( doi:10.1111/sapm.12106 )). The method uses local radial basis function interpolation to reduce computational complexity when generating quadrature weights for any given node set. This article generalizes this method to arbitrary smooth closed surfaces.

It is well-known that solutions to the one-dimensional supercooled Stefan problem (SSP) may exhibit blow-up in finite time. If we consider (SSP) in a half-line with zero flux conditions at t = 0, blow-up occurs if there exists T < ∞ such that limt↑Ts(t) > 0 and lim inft↑T⋅(t) = – ∞,s(t) being the interface of the problem under consideration. In this paper, we derive the asymptotics of solutions and interfaces near blow-up. We shall also use these results to discuss the possible continuation of solutions beyond blow-up.
