Using only elementary trigonometrical calculations we prove the power series development for the sin and cos functions up to the terms of power three and four respectively.

We consider the large-time behaviour of the nonlinear diffusion equation ∂ u /∂ t = r 1- μ ∂/∂ r ( r μ -1 u β ∂ u /∂ r ), u ≽ 0, β ≻ 0 for certain types of compact initial data. We show that the solution approaches the Barenblatt-Pattle similarity solution through an infinite sequence of negative real powers of t , which can be found in explicit form. These, together with their interactive product terms, determine the power-series development of u(r,t) as t → ∞.

SynopsisSome disparate ideas in the literature are drawn together. The work of P. J. Olver and his associates on Lagrangians which vanish for arbitrary variations, the so-called null Lagrangians, is viewed as a parallel development to Witten's study of topological field theories. A theorem of Olver, that all hyperjacobians are expressible as divergences, and are thus candidates for the construction of null Lagrangians, is shown to follow directly from the observation that such entities appear in a power series development of the general associative product, and this technique facilitates the construction of multi-dimensional examples.

AbstractFor a ∇-module M over the ring K[[x]]0 of bounded functions over a p-adic local field K we define the notion of special and generic log-growth filtrations on the base of the power series development of the solutions and horizontal sections. Moreover, if M also admits a Frobenius structure then it is endowed with generic and special Frobenius slope filtrations. We will show that in the case of M a ϕ–∇-module of rank 2, the Frobenius polygon for M and the log-growth polygon for its dual, Mv, coincide, this is proved by showing explicit relationships between the filtrations. This will lead us to formulate some conjectural links between the behaviours of the filtrations arising from the log-growth and Frobenius structures of the differential module. This coincidence between the two polygons was only known for the hypergeometric cases by Dwork.

In this paper, we introduce a general procedure to construct the Taylor series development of the inverse of an analytical function; in other words, given y=f(x), we provide the power series that defines its inverse x=hf(y). We apply the obtained results to solve nonlinear equations in an analytic way, and generalize Catalan and Fuss–Catalan numbers.
