For ordinary differential equations in the complex domain, a central problem is to understand, in a given equation or class of equations, those whose solutions do not present multivaluedness. We consider autonomous, first-order, quadratic…

For k>=3 let A \subset [1,N] be a set not containing a solution to a_1 x_1+...+a_k x_k=a_1 x_{k+1}+...+a_k x_{2k} in distinct integers. We prove that there is an epsilon>0 depending on the coefficients of the equation such that every such A…

All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…

This article is devoted to the study of solutions of non-homogenous linear differential equations having entire coefficients. We get all non-trivial solutions of infinite order of equation $f^{(n)}+a_{n-1}(z)f^{(n-1)}+\ldots…

This short note gives an upper bound on the measure of sets $A\subset [0,1]$ such that $x+y=3z$ has no solutions in $A$.

We study extremal problems about sets of integers that do not contain sumsets with summands of prescribed size. We analyse both finite sets and infinite sequences. We also study the connections of these problems with extremal problems of…

We expand the class of linear symmetric equations for which large sets with no non-trivial solutions are known. Our idea is based on first finding a small set with no solutions and then enlarging it to arbitrary size using a…

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…

We prove that if $A\subseteq \{ 1,2,\dots, N \}$ does not contain any solution to the equation $x_1+\dots+x_k=y_1+\dots+y_k$ with distinct $x_1,\dots,x_k,y_1,\dots,y_k\in A$, then $|A|\ll {k^{3/2}}N^{1/k}.$

A plurisubharmonic singularity is extreme if it cannot be represented as the sum of non-homothetic singularities. A complete characterization of such singularities is given for the case of homogeneous singularities (in particular, those…

A special class of autonomous algebraic differential equations is studied. No equations in the class have any entire transcendental solutions. In a sense, for almost all equations in the class, transcendental meromorphic solutions can also…

Let $\mathcal{H}_{3,d}$ be the vector space of homogeneous three variable polynomials of degree $d$, and $\mathcal{P}_{3,d}^+$ be the set of all elements $f \in \mathcal{H}_{3,d}$ such that$f(x,y,z) \geq 0$ for all $x \geq 0$, $y \geq 0$,…

Stochastic equations indexed by negative integers and taking values in compact groups are studied. Extremal solutions of the equations are characterized in terms of infinite products of independent random variables. This result is applied…

The study of multivariate extremes is dominated by multivariate regular variation, although it is well known that this approach does not provide adequate distinction between random vectors whose components are not always simultaneously…

In the paper we discuss three different notions of extremal holomorphic mappings: weak $m$-extremals, $m$-extremals and $m$-complex geodesics. We discuss relations between them in general case and in the special cases of unit ball,…

We adapt the construction of subsets of {1, 2, ..., N} that contain no k-term arithmetic progressions to give a relatively thick subset of an arbitrary set of N integers. Particular examples include a thick subset of {1, 4, 9, ..., N^2}…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, let K/k be a transcendental extension of arbitrary transcendence degree and let G be a multiplicative subgroup of (K^*)^n such that (k^*)^n is contained in G, and G/(k^*)^n has…

We consider the set of the power non-negative polynomials of several variables and its subset that consists of polynomials which can be represented as a sum of squares. It is shown in the classic work by D.Hilbert that it is a proper…

We prove that for an arbitrary $\kappa \le \frac{1}{3}$ any subset of $\mathbf{F}_p$ avoiding $t$ linear equations with three variables has size less than $O(p/t^\kappa)$. We also find several applications to problems about so--called…

This paper develops new extremal principles of variational analysis that are motivated by applications to constrained problems of stochastic programming and semi-infinite programming without smoothness and/or convexity assumptions. These…
