We use a characterization of Minkowski measurability to study the asymptotics of best packing on cut-out subsets of the real line with Minkowski dimension $d\in(0,1)$. Our main result is a proof that Minkowski measurability is a sufficient…

New results on the oscillation of solutions of $f''+A(z)f=0$ and on the growth of solutions of $f''+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$ are obtained, where $A$ and $B$ are entire functions. Petrenko's magnitudes of deviation of $g$ with respect to $\infty$…

We investigate the existence of positive solutions for a class of Minkowski-curvature equations with indefinite weight and nonlinear term having superlinear growth at zero and super-exponential growth at infinity. As an example, for the…

The discrete functional $L_p$ Minkowski problem is posed and solved. As a consequence, the general affine P\'{o}lya-Szeg\"{o} principle and the general affine Sobolev inequalities are established.

For irrational $\theta$ and 1-periodic function $f$ we consider sums $\sum_0^{Q-1}f(k\theta+\varphi)$ where $\varphi \in \mathbb R$. Sidorov proved that if $f$ is absolutely continuous function, then $\liminf_{Q \to \infty}…

We introduce reflection properties of cardinals in which the attributes that reflect are expressible by infinitary formulas whose lengths can be strictly larger than the cardinal under consideration. This kind of generalized reflection…

We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…

The Minkowski question mark function, maping the unit interval to itself, is a continuous, strictly increasing, one-to-one and onto function that has derivative zero almost everywhere. Key to these facts are the basic properties of…

First derivatives of the Whittaker function $\mathrm{M}_{\kappa ,\mu }\left(x\right) $ with respect to the parameters are calculated. Using the confluent hypergeometric function, these derivarives can be expressed as infinite sums of…

We obtain estimates on the rate of decay of a solution to the wave equation on a stationary spacetime that tends to Minkowski space at a rate $O(\lvert x \rvert^{-\kappa}),$ $\kappa \in (1,\infty) \backslash \mathbb{N}.$ Given suitably…

In the present paper we consider the Dirichlet problem for the second order differential operator $E=\nabla(A \nabla)$,where $A$ is a matrix with complex valued $L^\infty$ entries. We introduce the concept of dissipativity of $E$ with…

The asymptotic expansion of the Kummer function ${}_1F_1(a; b; z)$ is examined as $z\to+\infty$ on the Stokes line $\arg\,z=0$. The correct form of the subdominant algebraic contribution is obtained for non-integer $a$. Numerical results…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \Vert f(z) \Vert=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…
