We study differentiability properties of functions defined in the euclidean space in terms of a conical square function which is analogue to the classical square function introduced by Stein and Zygmund in the sixties. Pointwise…
``In this paper we give the history of Leonhard Euler's work on the pentagonal number theorem, and his applications of the pentagonal number theorem to the divisor function, partition function and divergent series. We have attempted to give…
This article is a reflection on the mathematical legacy of Professor Petr Simon.
We consider the Sobolev space over $\mathbb{R}^d$ of square integrable functions whose gradient is also square integrable with respect to some positive weight. Tt is well known that smooth functions are dense in the weighted Sobolev space…
In this paper, we establish a demi-distributions theory which develops the usual distribution theory, in particular, we show that many conclusions as differentiations, Fourier transforms and convolutions can be generalized to the…
In this paper, we study a doubly nonlinear parabolic equation arising from the gradient flow for p-Sobolev type inequality, referred as p-Sobolev flow. In the special case p=2 our theory includes the classical Yamabe flow on a bounded…
Obtaining explicit stability estimates in classical functional inequalities like the Sobolev inequality has been an essentially open question for 30 years, after the celebrated but non-constructive result of G. Bianchi and H. Egnell in…
The paper is devoted to the contribution in the Probability Theory of the well-known Soviet mathematician Alexander Yakovlevich Khintchine (1894-1959). Several of his results are described, in particular those fundamental results on the…
These are reminiscences of V. P. Havin (1933--2015), founder of the modern St. Petersburg analysis school.
I briefly consider the Kuhnian notion of "paradigm shifts" applied to the history of mathematics and argue that the succession and intergenerational continuity of mathematical thought was undeservedly neglected in the historical studies. To…
This article is firstly a historic review of the theory of Riemann-Hilbert problems with particular emphasis placed on their original appearance in the context of Hilbert's 21st problem and Plemelj's work associated with it. The secondary…
This survey will appear in Vol. VII of the Hendbook of Teichm{\"u}ller theory (European Mathematical Society Publishing House, 2020). It is a commentary on Teichm{\"u}ller's paper "Einfache Beispiele zur Wertverteilungslehre", published in…
On June 2, 2012 it would have been the eighty fifth birthday of Edwald Abramovitch Zavadskii (1927-2005), corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences, brilliant experimental physicist and a person with a very uncommon and…
The general theory of (nonlinear) partial differential equations originated by S. Lie had a significant development in the past 30-40 years. Now this theory has solid foundations, a proper language, proper techniques and problems, and a…
This is a brief summary of a talk delivered at the Special Session of the Physical Sciences Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, 25 May 2011. The meeting was devoted to the 90-th anniversary of A. D. Sakharov. The focus of…
This brief text is in memory of Professor Ivan Kupka. It presents his vision, scientific life, his interest in mathematics and our join collaboration.
The contributions of Lucio Russo to the mathematics of percolation and disordered systems are outlined. The context of his work is explained, and its ongoing impact on current work is described and amplified.
This is a retrospective of some of William Arveson's many contributions to operator theory and operator algebras.
K. G\"odel [G1] discovered his celebrated solution to Einstein equations in 1949. Additional contributions were made by Kundt [K] and Hawking-Ellis ([H-E],5.7). On the other hand, a general Lorentz invariant operator, associated to the…
In this note we will present how Euler's investigations on various different subjects lead to certain properties of the Legendre polynomials. More precisely, we will show that the generating function and the difference equation for the…
