We extend some previous results for the damped wave equation in bounded domains in Euclidean spaces to the unbounded case. In particular, we show that if the damping term is of the form $\alpha a$ with bounded $a$ taking on negative values…

Let $\lambda_{q}:=\inf{\Vert\nabla u\Vert_{L^{p}(\Omega)}^{p}/\Vertu\Vert_{L^{q}(\Omega)}^{p}:u\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega)\setminus{0}} $, where $\Omega$ is a bounded and smooth domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N},$ $1<p<N$ and $1\leq q\leq p^{\star}%…

For any $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ smooth and bounded domain, we prove uniqueness of positive solutions of free boundary problems arising in plasma physics on $\Omega$ in a neat interval depending only by the best constant of the Sobolev…

Given a strictly increasing sequence of positive real numbers tending to infinity $(q_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$, and an arbitrary sequence of real numbers $(r_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}.$ We study the set of $\alpha\in(1,\infty)$ for which…

Let $G$ be the interior domain of a piecewise analytic Jordan curve without cusps. Let $\{p_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ be the sequence of polynomials that are orthonormal over $G$ with respect to the area measure, with each $p_n$ having leading…

We consider nonnegative solutions to $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in unbounded euclidean domains, where $f$ is merely locally Lipschitz continuous and satisfies $f(0)<0$. In the half-plane, and without any other assumption on $u$, we prove that $u$ is…

We show that positive $\alpha$-stable densities are hyperbolically completely monotone if and only if $\alpha \le 1/2$. This gives a positive answer to a question raised by L. Bondesson in 1977.

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^k\to \mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function, and let $\{U_i\}_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables. Consider the random process $Z_i=f(U_{i},...,U_{i+k-1})$. We show that for all $\ell$, there is a…

We study multidimensional gravitational models with scalar curvature nonlinearity of the type 1/R and with form-fields (fluxes) as a matter source. It is assumed that the higher dimensional space-time undergoes Freund-Rubin-like spontaneous…

We consider a quasi-convex planar domain \Omega with a rectifiable boundary containing an exponential cusp and show that there is no homeomorphism f: \bR^2\to\bR^2 of finite distortion with \exp(\lambda K)\in L_{loc}^{1}(\bR^2) for some…

We investigate certain analytical properties of the free $\alpha-$stable densities on the line. We prove that they are all classically infinitely divisible when $\alpha\le 1$, and that they belong to the extended Thorin class when $\alpha…

We describe some sufficient conditions, under which smooth and compactly supported functions are or are not dense in the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$ for an open, bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{d}$. The density property…

It is known that real Non-Gaussian stable distributions are unimodal, not additive strongly unimodal, and multiplicative strongly unimodal in the symmetric case. By a theorem of Cuculescu-Theodorescu, the only remaining relevant situation…

We assume that $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, $d \geq 2$, is a uniform domain with lower $d$-Ahlfors-David regular and $d$-rectifiable boundary. We show that if $\mathcal{H}^d|_{\partial \Omega}$ is locally finite, then the Hausdorff…

Any renewal processes on $\mathbb{N}$ with a polynomial tail, with exponent $\alpha \in (0,1)$, has a non-trivial scaling limit, known as the $\alpha$-stable regenerative set. In this paper we consider Gibbs transformations of such renewal…

We study the asymptotic properties of nearest-neighbor random walks in 1d random environment under the influence of an external field of intensity $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$. For ergodic shift-invariant environments, we show that the limiting…

We derive asymptotic estimates at infinity for positive harmonic functions in a large class of non-smooth unbounded domains. These include domains whose sections, after rescaling, resemble a Lipschitz cylinder or a Lipschitz cone, e.g.,…

The wave function renormalization constant $Z$, the probability to find the bare particle in the physical particle, usually satisfies the unitarity bound $0 \leq Z \leq 1$ in field theories without negative metric states. This unitarity…

We study the convolution of functions of the form \[ f_\alpha (z) := \dfrac{\left( \frac{1 + z}{1 - z} \right)^\alpha - 1}{2 \alpha}, \] which map the open unit disk of the complex plane onto polygons of 2 edges when $\alpha\in(0,1)$. We…

For sequences $\alpha \equiv \{\alpha_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of positive real numbers, called weights, we study the weighted shift operators $W_{\alpha}$ having the property of moment infinite divisibility ($\mathcal{MID}$); that is, for any…
