Aprender matemáticas con el ordenador
(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2004) Bujanda Cirauqui, Blanca; Ferreira González, Chelo; Ingeniería Matemática e Informática; Matematika eta Informatika Ingeniaritza
Los futuros perfiles profesionales de nuestros actuales alumnos universitarios están cambiando vertiginosamente. Uno de los grandes cambios es el que viene dado por la incorporación del ordenador a la mayoría (casi todos) de estos perfiles. Los profesionales precisan ya un alto nivel de conocimientos de informática, que en el caso más habitual es simplemente nivel de usuario, de manejo del ordenador. Por ello las nuevas tendencias de formación en la universidad deben adaptarse a estas necesidades, e incorporar al aula el ordenador, pero no como un complemento, como se ha venido haciendo hasta ahora con las clases denominadas “de prácticas”, sino como parte esencial del trabajo. Los profesores y los alumnos debemos concienciarnos de que es posible enseñar y aprender con el ordenador. Este es el propósito del libro, un curso de matemáticas básicas, con el ordenador, dirigido a alumnos de primer o primeros cursos de aquellas disciplinas donde las matemáticas no son el eje central pero sí fundamental en su formación (Empresariales, LADE, Ingenierías...). Para ello hemos seleccionado el programa Mathematica, que es el que actualmente utilizamos en la Universidad Pública de Navarra y que nos parece una potente herramienta matemática que además comprende la casi totalidad de las ramas de matemáticas. Por otro lado, este texto puede considerarse también de autoaprendizaje del programa Mathematica, puesto que es un nivel básico y no se necesitan más que los conocimientos elementales de un primer curso de matemáticas. El texto consta de seis capítulos, divididos a su vez en secciones. Los dos primeros introducen el programa y su entorno, el resto describen las opciones básicas y utilidades para un primer acercamiento al cálculo, el álgebra, los gráficos y la estadística descriptiva. Además, al final de cada sección se incluye una serie de ejercicios que recomendamos al alumno, ya que están elegidos de forma que sean un test válido del grado de asimilación de lo abordado en esa sección.

A convergent version of Watson’s lemma for double integrals
(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
A modification of Watson’s lemma for Laplace transforms ∞ 0 f(t) e−zt dt was introduced in [Nielsen, 1906], deriving a new asymptotic expansion for large |z| with the extra property of being convergent as well. Inspired in that idea, in this paper we derive asymptotic expansions of two-dimensional Laplace transforms F(x, y) := ∞ 0 ∞ 0 f(t,s) e−xt−ys dt ds for large |x| and |y| that are also convergent. The expansions of F(x, y) are accompanied by error bounds. Asymptotic and convergent expansions of some specialfunctions are given as illustration.

The swallowtail integral in the highly oscillatory region III
(Taylor & Francis, 2021) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We consider the swallowtail integral Ψ(x,y,z):=∫∞−∞ei(t5+xt3+yt2+zt)dt for large values of |z| and bounded values of |x| and |y|. The integrand of the swallowtail integral oscillates wildly in this region and the asymptotic analysis is subtle. The standard saddle point method is complicated and then we use the modified saddle point method introduced in López et al., A systematization of the saddle point method application to the Airy and Hankel functions. J Math Anal Appl. 2009;354:347–359. The analysis is more straightforward with this method and it is possible to derive complete asymptotic expansions of Ψ(x,y,z) for large |z| and fixed x and y. The asymptotic analysis requires the study of three different regions for argz separated by three Stokes lines in the sector −π

Orthogonal basis for the optical transfer function
(Optical Society of America, 2016) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Navarro, Rafael; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Ingeniería Matemática e Informática; Matematika eta Informatika Ingeniaritza
We propose systems of orthogonal functions qn to represent optical transfer functions (OTF) characterized by including the diffraction-limited OTF as the first basis function q0 OTF perfect. To this end, we apply a powerful and rigorous theoretical framework based on applying the appropriate change of variables to well-known orthogonal systems. Here we depart from Legendre polynomials for the particular case of rotationally symmetric OTF and from spherical harmonics for the general case. Numerical experiments with different examples show that the number of terms necessary to obtain an accurate linear expansion of the OTF mainly depends on the image quality. In the rotationally symmetric case we obtained a reasonable accuracy with approximately 10 basis functions, but in general, for cases of poor image quality, the number of basis functions may increase and hence affect the efficiency of the method. Other potential applications, such as new image quality metrics are also discussed.

The asymptotic expansion of the swallowtail integral in the highly oscillatory region
(Elsevier, 2018) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Ingeniería Matemática e Informática; Matematika eta Informatika Ingeniaritza; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
The mathematical models of many short wavelength phenomena, specially wave propagation and optical diffraction, contain, as a basic ingredient, oscillatory integrals with several nearly coincident stationary phase or saddle points. The uniform approximation of those integrals can be expressed in terms of certain canonical integrals and their derivatives [2,16]. The importance of these canonical diffraction integrals is stressed in [14] by means of the following sentence: The role played by these canonical diffraction integrals in the analysis of caustic wave fields is analogous to that played by complex exponentials in plane wave theory. Apart from their mathematical importance in the uniform asymptotic approximation of oscillatory integrals [12], the canonical diffraction integrals have physical applications in the description of surface gravity waves [11], [17], bifurcation sets, optics, quantum mechanics, chemical physics [4] and acoustics (see [1], Section 36.14 and references there in). To our knowledge, the first application of this family of integrals traces back to the description of the disturbances on a water surface produced, for example, by a traveling ship. These disturbances form a familiar pattern of bow and stern waves which was first explained mathematically by Lord Kelvin [10] using these integrals.

The use of two-point Taylor expansions in singular one-dimensional boundary value problems I
(Elsevier, 2018) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Matematika eta Informatika Ingeniaritza; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ingeniería Matemática e Informática
We consider the second-order linear differential equation (x + 1)y′′ + f(x)y′ + g(x)y = h(x) in the interval (−1, 1) with initial conditions or boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed Dirichlet-Neumann). The functions f(x), g(x) and h(x) are analytic in a Cassini disk Dr with foci at x = ±1 containing the interval [−1, 1]. Then, the end point of the interval x = −1 may be a regular singular point of the differential equation. The two-point Taylor expansion of the solution y(x) at the end points ±1 is used to study the space of analytic solutions in Dr of the differential equation, and to give a criterion for the existence and uniqueness of analytic solutions of the boundary value problem. This method is constructive and provides the two-point Taylor approximation of the analytic solutions when they exist.

Uniform convergent expansions of the error function in terms of elementary functions
(Springer, 2023) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We derive a new analytic representation of the error function erfz in the form of a convergent series whose terms are exponential and rational functions. The expansion holds uniformly in z in the double sector | arg (±z) | <π/4. The expansion is accompanied by realistic error bounds.

Convergent and asymptotic expansions of the displacement elastodynamic integral in terms of known functions
(Elsevier, 2025-05-01) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
The integral [Formula presented] plays an essential role in the study of several phenomena in the theory of elastodynamics (Ceballos and Prato, 2014). But an exact evaluation of this integral in terms of known functions is not possible. In this paper, we derive an analytic representation of this integral in the form of convergent series of elementary functions and hypergeometric functions. This series have an asymptotic character for either, small values of the variable s, or for small values of the variables r and R. It is derived by using the asymptotic technique designed in Lopez (2008) for Mellin convolution integrals. Some numerical experiments show the accuracy of the approximation supplied by the first few terms of the expansion.

New recurrence relations for several classical families of polynomials
(Taylor and Francis, 2021) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In this paper, we derive new recurrence relations for the following families of polynomials: nörlund polynomials, generalized Bernoulli polynomials, generalized Euler polynomials, Bernoulli polynomials of the second kind, Buchholz polynomials, generalized Bessel polynomials and generalized Apostol–Euler polynomials. The recurrence relations are derived from a differential equation of first order and a Cauchy integral representation obtained from the generating function of these polynomials.

Orthogonal basis with a conicoid first mode for shape specification of optical surfaces
(Optical Society of America, 2016) Ferreira González, Chelo; López García, José Luis; Pérez Sinusía, Ester; Navarro, Rafael; Ingeniería Matemática e Informática; Matematika eta Informatika Ingeniaritza
A rigorous and powerful theoretical framework is proposed to obtain systems of orthogonal functions (or shape modes) to represent optical surfaces. The method is general so it can be applied to different initial shapes and different polynomials. Here we present results for surfaces with circular apertures when the first basis function (mode) is a conicoid. The system for aspheres with rotational symmetry is obtained applying an appropriate change of variables to Legendre polynomials, whereas the system for general freeform case is obtained applying a similar procedure to spherical harmonics. Numerical comparisons with standard systems, such as Forbes and Zernike polynomials, are performed and discussed.
