From Sturmian and Christoffel words we derive a strictly increasing function $\Delta:[0,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$. This function is continuous at every irrational point, while at rational points, left-continuous but not right-continuous.…

In this paper we consider the Cauchy boundary value problem for the abstract Kirchhoff equation with a continuous nonlinearity m : [0,+\infty) --> [0,+\infty). It is well known that a local solution exists provided that the initial data are…

We consider local minimizers of the functional \[ \sum_{i=1}^N \int (|u_{x_i}|-\delta_i)^p_+\, dx+\int f\, u\, dx, \] where $\delta_1,\dots,\delta_N\ge 0$ and $(\,\cdot\,)_+$ stands for the positive part. Under suitable assumptions on $f$,…

We prove a sharp stability result for the Brunn-Minkowski inequality for $A,B\subset\mathbb{R}^2$. Assuming that the Brunn-Minkowski deficit $\delta=|A+B|^{\frac{1}{2}}/(|A|^\frac12+|B|^\frac12)-1$ is sufficiently small in terms of…

Let $\varepsilon >0$. Let $f$ be a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function. We prove that we have almost surely, as $x \to +\infty$, $$ \sum_{n \leqslant x} f(n) \ll \sqrt{x} (\log_2 x)^{\frac{3}{4}+ \varepsilon}. $$

For each integer $b \geq 3$ and every $x \geq 1$, let $\mathcal{N}_{b,0}(x)$ be the set of positive integers $n \leq x$ which are divisible by the product of their nonzero base $b$ digits. We prove bounds of the form $x^{\rho_{b,0} + o(1)}…

Let as usual $Z(t) = \zeta(1/2+it)\chi^{-1/2}(1/2+it)$ denote Hardy's function, where $\zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s)$. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis upper and lower bounds for some integrals involving $Z(t)$ and $Z'(t)$ are proved. It is…

In a recent paper with Sprang and Zudilin, the following result was proved: if $a$ is large enough in terms of $\varepsilon>0$, then at least $2^{(1-\varepsilon)\frac{\log a}{\log \log a}}$ values of the Riemann zeta function at odd…

For $L(\cdot,\pi)$ in a large class of $L$-functions, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we show an explicit bound for the function $S_1(t,\pi)=\frac{1}{\pi}\int_{1/2}^\infty\log|L(\sigma+it,\pi)|\,d\sigma$, expressed in terms of…

Suppose that ${\cal L}$ is a divergence form differential operator of the form ${\cal L}f:=(1/2) e^{U}\nabla_x\cdot\big[e^{-U}(I+H)\nabla_x f\big]$, where $U$ is scalar valued, $I$ identity matrix and $H$ an anti-symmetric matrix valued…

Normality arguments are applied to study the oscillation of solutions of $f''+Af=0$, where the coefficient $A$ is analytic in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $\sup_{z\in\mathbb{D}} (1-|z|^2)^2|A(z)| < \infty$. It is shown that such…

It is proved that as $T \to \infty$, uniformly for all positive integers $\ell \leqslant (\log_3 T) / (\log_4 T)$, we have \begin{equation*} \max_{T\leqslant t\leqslant 2T}\left|\zeta^{(\ell)}\Big(1+it\Big)\right| \geqslant \big(\mathbf…

Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),\ldots, a_n(x), \ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $x\in (0, 1)$. The study of the growth rate of the product of consecutive partial quotients $a_n(x)a_{n+1}(x)$ is associated with the…

In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are…

The present paper commences the study of higher order differential equations in composition form. Specifically, we consider the equation Lu=\Div B^*\nabla(a\Div A\nabla u)=0, where A and B are elliptic matrices with complex-valued bounded…

In this paper, we study the fractional Kirchhoff equation with critical nonlinearity \begin{align*} \left(a+b\int_{\mathbb R^N}|(-\Delta)^{\frac{s}{2}}u|^2dx\right)(-\Delta)^su+u=f(u)\ \ \mbox{in}\ \ \mathbb R^N, \end{align*} where $N>2s$…

We use the Ramanujan's master theorem to evaluate the integral $$\int_{0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{l-1}}{(1+x)^{m+1}}\log^{n}(1+x)\, dx$$ in terms of the digamma function, the gamma function, and the Hurwitz zeta function.

R. Salem (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 53 (3) (1943) 427-439) asked whether the Fourier-Stieltjes transform of the Minkowski question mark function ?(x) vanishes at infinity. In this note we present several possible approaches towards the…

In this paper we define a new type of continued fraction expansion for a real number $x \in I_m:=[0,m-1], m\in N_+, m\geq 2$: \[x = \frac{m^{-b_1(x)}}{\displaystyle 1+\frac{m^{-b_2(x)}}{1+\ddots}}:=[b_1(x), b_2(x), ...]_m. \] Then, we…
