Let $ P(z) $ be a polynomial of degree $ n $ having all zeros in $|z|\leq k$ where $k\leq 1,$ then it was proved by Dewan \textit{et al} that for every real or complex number $\alpha$ with $|\alpha|\geq k$ and each $r\geq 0$ $$…

We give simple proofs that for a continuous local martingale M_t: 1) \liminf_{\epsilon->0} \epsilon \log Ee^{(1-\epsilon) <M>_\infty /2} < \infty ==> E\exp(M_\infty - <M>_\infty /2) = 1, 2) \liminf_{\epsilon->0} \epsilon \log\sup_{t>=0}…

Recently, Giorgio Fusco and the author studied the system {\Delta}u - W_u (u) = 0 for a class of potentials that possess several global minima and are invariant under a general finite reflection group, and established existence of…

Given positive measures $\nu,\mu$ on an arbitrary measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$, we construct a sequence of finite partitions $(\pi_n)_n$ of $(\Omega, \mathcal F)$ s.t. $$ \sum_{A\in \pi_n: \mu(A)>0} 1_{A} \frac{\nu(A)}{\mu(A)}…

We study the polynomial approximation problem in $L^2(\mu_1)$ where $\mu_1(dx) = e^{-|x|}/2 dx$. We show that for any absolutely continuous function $f$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \log^2(e+k) \langle f, P_k \rangle^2 \ \leq C \left(…

Let $(n_k)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be a lacunary sequence of integers. We show that if $\mu$ is a probability measure on $[0,1)$ such that $|\widehat{\mu}(t)|\leq c|t|^{-\eta}$, then for $\mu$-almost all $x$, the discrepancy $D_N(n_kx)$ satisfies…

For a periodic function $f$ with bounded variation and integral zero on its period interval, we show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2 (\log\log k)^\gamma <\infty$, $\gamma>4$ implies the almost everywhere convergence of $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k…

Let $lu = -u^{\prime \prime} + q(x)u$, where $q(x)$ is a real-valued $L^2_{loc}(0, \infty)$ function. H. Weyl has proved in 1910 that for any $z$, $Imz \neq 0$, the equation $(l - z)w=0$, $x>0$, has a solution $w \in L^2(0, \infty)$. We…

For every $\tau\in\mathbb{R}$ and every integer $N$, let $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau)$ be the minimum of the distance of $\tau$ from the sums $\sum_{n=1}^N s_n/n$, where $s_1, \ldots, s_n \in \{-1, +1\}$. We prove that $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau) <…

We study the series $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^n}{n!}t^nf^{(n)}(t)$. We show that for analytic functions this series is uniformly and absolutely convergent to the constant $f(0)$. We show that there are nowhere analytic functions for…

This paper investigates the dynamics of the iterated sum-of-divisors function $\sigma_k(m)$ and its behaviour modulo $m$, motivated by classical questions on perfect and multiperfect numbers and by the congruences $\sigma_k(m) \equiv 0…

In this paper we deal with the problem of testing for the quality of $k$ probability distributions. We introduce a generalization of the maximum mean discrepancy that permits to characterize the null hypothesis. Then, an estimator of it is…

We study higher order linear differential equation $y^{(k)}+A_1(z)y=0$ with $k\geq2$, where $A_1=A+h$, $A$ is a transcendental entire function of finite order with $\frac{1}{2}\leq \mu(A)<1$ and $h\neq0$ is an entire function with…

We extend our family rigidity and vanishing theorems in [{\bf LiuMaZ}] to the Spin^c case. In particular, we prove a K-theory version of the main results of [{\bf H}], [{\bf Liu1}, Theorem B] for a family of almost complex manifolds.

We prove new one-dimensional symmetry results for non-negative solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $ -\Delta u= f(u)$ in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^{N}_{+}$. Some Liouville-type theorems are also proven in the…

In this paper we present a convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$. By deriving conditions on the $a_{n}$ which ensure that the odd and even parts of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$ converge, these same…

The main result of the paper is that the oscillation (non-oscillation) of the impulsive delay differential equation $\dot {x}(t)+\sum_{k=1}^m A_k(t)x[h_k(t)]=0,~~t\geq 0$, $x(\tau_j)=B_jx(\tau_j-0), \lim \tau_j = \infty$ is equivalent to…

A recent conjecture by C. Carlet on the sum-freedom of the binary multiplicative inverse function can be stated as follows: For each pair of positive integers $(n,k)$ with $3\le k\le n-3$, there is a $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-subspace $E$…
