Minimizing $\frac{1-c}{1-\frac{(a-b)^3}{(1-a)^2} - \frac{(b-c)^3}{(a-b)^2} - \frac{c^3}{b^2}}$

I am interested in approximating the minimum of $$\dfrac{1-c}{1-\dfrac{(a-b)^3}{(1-a)^2} - \dfrac{(b-c)^3}{(a-b)^2} - \dfrac{c^3}{b^2}}$$ Subject to $0 < \frac{a-b}{1-a} < \frac{b-c}{a-b} < \...

Minimizing $\frac{1-\int_{1-\int_{0}^1 F(r)dr }^1 F(t) dt }{1-\int_{0}^1 F(t)^2 dt}$ for increasing function subject to $F(0)=0, F(1)=1$

Let $F:[0,1]\to [0,1]$ be an increasing function with $F(0)=0, F(1)=1$. Define $A(x)=1-\int_{x}^1 F(t) dt$. I am trying to approximately minimize the following ratio across all $F$ (i.e find a lower ...

Conditions on the coefficients that the roots of a polynomial be less that or equal to unity in absolute value

Consider the polynomial $$f(x)=p_0x^n+p_1x^{n-1}+...+p_{n-1}x+p_n,~p_i \in \mathbb C.$$ Particularly, in the case of absolute stability of a multi-step numerical method, how can we find out the ...

Hpergeometric Reduction with Mathematica

We know that: $$\,_2F_1(a,b,b,z)=(1-z)^{-a}$$ But putting $b<0$ with $b$ integer Mathematica does not use the previous formula but generates the hypergeometric polynomial. For instance: $$\,_2F_1(a,...
