In this paper we study the Hardy problem in R^N with N>2 and in a ball B of R^N. Using a suitable map we transform the Hardy problem into another one without the singular term. Then we obtain some bifurcation results from the radial…

For all odd positive integers $m$, we construct $\mu$-homogeneous solutions to the thin obstacle problem in $\mathbb{R}^3,$ with $\mu\in(m,m+1)$. For $m$ large, $\mu-m$ converges to $1$, so $\mu\neq m+\tfrac 1 2$. The restriction to odd…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. Under some assumptions, we prove that there exists a positive function $\varphi$ solution of the following Yamabe type equation \Delta \varphi+ h\varphi= \tilde h…

We continue developing the theory of conical and vertical square functions on $R^{n}$, where $\mu$ is a power bounded measure, possibly non-doubling. We provide new boundedness criteria and construct various counterexamples. First, we prove…

The aim of this note is to provoke discussion concerning arithmetic properties of function $p_{d}(n)$ counting partitions of an positive integer $n$ into $d$-th powers, where $d\geq 2$. Besides results concerning the asymptotic behavior of…

In this paper the question of finding infinitely many solutions to the problem $-\Delta u+a(x)u=|u|^{p-2}u$, in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $u \in H^1(\mathbb{R}^N)$, is considered when $N\geq 2$, $p \in (2, 2N/(N-2))$, and the potential $a(x)$ is a…

We demonstrate the existence of $K$-multimagic squares of order $N$ consisting of distinct integers whenever $N>2 K(K+1)$. This improves upon our earlier result in which we only required $N+1$ distinct integers. Additionally, we present a…

The problem of finding the sum of a polynomial's values is considered. In particular, for any $n\geq 3$, the explicit formula for the sum of the $n$th powers of natural numbers $S_n=\sum_{x=1}^{m}x^{n}$ is proved:…

We consider the problem of decomposing a regular non-negative function as a sum of squares of functions which preserve some form of regularity. In the same way as decomposing non-negative polynomials as sum of squares of polynomials allows…

For a set of natural numbers $A$, let $R_{A}(n)$ be the number of representations of a natural number $n$ as the sum of two terms from $A$. Many years ago, Nathanson studied the conditions for the set $A$ and $B$ of natural numbers that are…

Given an integer $g$ and also some given integers $m$ (sufficiently large) and $c_1,\dots, c_m$, we show that the number of all non-negative integers $n\le M$ with the property that there exist non-negative integers $k_1,\dots, k_m$ such…

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all nonnegative integers. For $S\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ and $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $R_S(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $n=s_1+s_2$, $s_1,s_2\in S$ and $s_1<s_2$. Let $A$ be the set of all…

Answering a question of Bona, it is shown that for n>1 the probability that 1 and 2 are in the same cycle of a product of two n-cycles on the set {1,2,...,n} is 1/2 if n is odd and 1/2 - 2/(n-1){n+2) if n is even. Another result concerns…

Let $A_n=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)$ and $B_n=(b_1,b_2,\ldots,b_n)$ be nonnegative integer sequences with $A_n\le B_n$. The purpose of this note is to give a good characterization such that every integer sequence $\pi=(d_1,d_2,\ldots d_n)$ with…

We review second-order homogeneous linear differential equations with coefficient functions whose germs lie in a Hardy field (and hence are strongly non-oscillating). We prove a conjecture of Boshernitzan (1982): the oscillating solutions…

In this paper, it is proved that every sufficiently large even integer can be represented as the sum of two squares of primes, two cubes of primes, two biquadrates of primes and 16 powers of 2. Furthermore, there are at least 5.313% odd…

We derive properties of powers of a function satisfying a second-order linear differential equation. In particular we prove that the n-th power of the function satisfies an (n+1)-th order differential equation and give a simple method for…

For any $d \geq 2$, we prove that there exists an integer $n_0(d)$ such that there exists an $n \times n$ magic square of $d^\text{th}$ powers for all $n \geq n_0(d)$. In particular, we establish the existence of an $n \times n$ magic…

We introduce an algorithm that iteratively produces a sequence of natural numbers k_i and functions b_i. The number k_(i+1) arises as the first point of discontinuity of b_i above k_i. We derive a set of properties of both sequences,…
