We prove the existence of immersed closed curves of constant geodesic curvature in an arbitrary Riemannian 2-sphere for almost every prescribed curvature. To achieve this, we develop a min-max scheme for a weighted length functional.
We propose an operator Hermite polynomial method, namely, to replace the special functions' argument by quantum mechanical operator, and in this way we have derived two binomial theorems related to two-variable Hermite polynomials. This method is concise and may be of help in deducing many operator identities, which may become a new branch in mathematical physics theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
