We study the boundary value problem $-{\rm div}((|\nabla u|^{p_1(x)-2}+|\nabla u|^{p_2(x)-2})\nabla u)=\lambda|u|^{q(x)-2}u$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in $\RR^N$ with smooth boundary,…

A general problem in optimal control consists of finding a terminal reward that makes the value function independent of the horizon. Such a terminal reward can be interpreted as a max-plus eigenvector of the associated Lax-Oleinik…

Let R be a real closed field and A=R[x_1,...,x_n]. Let sper A denote the real spectrum of A. There are two kinds of points in sper A : finite points (those for which all of |x_1|,...,|x_n| are bounded above by some constant in R) and points…

We obtain a representation formula for the derivative of the spectral shift function $\xi(\lambda; B, \epsilon)$ related to the operators $H_0(B,\epsilon) = (D_x - By)^2 + D_y^2 + \epsilon x$ and $H(B, \epsilon) = H_0(B, \epsilon) + V(x,y),…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, $N \ge 2$, be a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, divided by a Lipschitz hypersurface $\Sigma$ into two open, disjoint Lipschitz subdomains $\Omega_1$ and $\Omega_2$. We study a nonlinear…

The "bisimulation problem" for equational graphs of finite out-degree is shown to be decidable. We reduce this problem to the bisimulation problem for deterministic rational (vectors of) boolean series on the alphabet of a dpda M. We then…

Let $(X,E_X)$ and $(V,E_V)$ be finite connected graphs without loops. We assume that $V$ has two distinguished vertices $a,b$ and an automorphism $\gamma$ which exchanges $a$ and~$b$. The $V$-edge substitution of $X$ is the graph $X[V]$…
