We propose a novel approach in noncommutative probability, which can be regarded as an analogue of good-$\lambda$ inequalities from the classical case due to Burkholder and Gundy (Acta Math {\bf124}: 249-304,1970). This resolves a…

Consider a discrete-time martingale $\{X_t\}$ taking values in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. We show that if for some $L \geq 1$, the bounds $\mathbb{E} \left[\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal H}^2 \mid X_t\right]=1$ and $\|X_{t+1}-X_t\|_{\mathcal…

Let $\ell>0$ be arbitrary. We introduce the extremal quantities $$ G(\ell):=\frac{\sup_{f} \int_{-\ell}^{\ell} f\,dx}{\int_{-1}^1 f\,dx},\quad C(\ell):=\frac{\sup_{f} \sup_{a\in {\mathbb R}} \int_{a-\ell}^{a+\ell} f\,dx}{\int_{-1}^1 f\,dx},…

Let $G$ be a graph attaining the maximum spectral radius among all connected nonregular graphs of order $n$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Let $\lambda_1(G)$ be the spectral radius of $G$. A nice conjecture due to Liu, Shen and Wang [On the…

A well known theorem of Lagrange states that the simple continued fraction of a real number $\alpha$ is periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational. We examine non-periodic and non-simple continued fractions formed by two…

Let $V(t) = e^{tG_b},\: t \geq 0,$ be the semigroup generated by Maxwell's equations in an exterior domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^3$ with dissipative boundary condition $E_{tan}- \gamma(x) (\nu \wedge B_{tan}) = 0, \gamma(x) > 0,…

Given a graph $G$, its Hall ratio $\rho(G)=\max_{H\subseteq G}\frac{|V(H)|}{\alpha(H)}$ forms a natural lower bound on its fractional chromatic number $\chi_f(G)$. A recent line of research studied the fundamental question of whether…

The Lagrange and Markov spectra are classical objects in Number Theory related to certain Diophantine approximation problems. Geometrically, they are the spectra of heights of geodesics in the modular surface. These objects were first…

We obtain the solution of the fourth order difference equation $$ x_{n+1}=\frac{ \alpha x_{n-3}}{A+B x_{n-1}x_{n-3}}$$ with the initial conditions; $x_{-3}=d,$ $x_{-2}=c,$ $x_{-1}=b,$ and $x_{0}=a$ are arbitrary nonzero real numbers,…

Let $1 < k < 33 / 29$. We prove that if $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$ are non-zero real numbers, not all of the same sign and that $\lambda_1 / \lambda_2$ is irrational and $\varpi$ is any real number, then for any $\eps > 0$ the…

In $1977$, G. Bennett proved, by means of non-deterministic methods, an inequality which plays a fundamental role in a series of optimization problems. More precisely, Bennett's inequality shows that, for $p_{1},p_{2} \in\lbrack1,\infty]$…

Let E be the Engel group and D be a rank 2 bracket generating left invariant distribution with a Lorentzian metric, which is a nondegenerate metric of index 1. In this paper, we first prove that timelike normal extremals are locally…

We prove that $$ \|X(|u|^2)\|_{L^3_{t,\ell}}\leq C\|f\|_{L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)}^2, $$ where $u(x,t)$ is the solution to the linear time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with initial datum $f$, and $X$ is the (spatial) X-ray…

In this paper, we prove the discrete Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{N}$ ($N\geq 1$) in a broader range of parameters than the classical continuous version [8]: \[ \parallel u\parallel_{\ell_{b}^{q}}\leq…

The anti-maximum principle for the homogeneous Dirichlet problem to $-\Delta_p u = \lambda |u|^{p-2}u + f(x)$ with positive $f \in L^\infty(\Omega)$ states the existence of a critical value $\lambda_f > \lambda_1$ such that any solution of…

The irreducible representations of the extended Galilean group are used to derive infinite sets of symmetric and asymmetric second-order differential equations with constant coeffcients. All derived equations are local and their Lagrangians…

In this paper, we show that, for some constant $C > 0$, the interval $(x, x + C x^{5/26}]$ always contains a squarefree number when $x$ is sufficiently large (in terms of $C$). Our improvement comes from establishing asymptotic relations…

In this paper we study the global boundedness for the solutions to a class of possibly degenerate parabolic equations by De-Giorgi's iteration. As applications, we show the existence of weak solutions for possibly degenerate stochastic…
