We obtain integral representations for the resolvent of $\psi(A)$, where $\psi$ is a holomorphic function mapping the right half-plane and the right half-axis into themselves, and $A$ is a sectorial operator on a Banach space. As a…

The inverse problem for representation functions takes as input a triple (X,f,L), where X is a countable semigroup, f : X --> N_0 \cup {\infty} a function, L : a_1 x_1 + ... + a_h x_h an X-linear form and asks for a subset A \subseteq X…

We present a non-uniform analogue of the classical Datko-Pazy theorem. Our main result shows that an integrability condition imposed on orbits originating in a fractional domain of the generator (as opposed to all orbits) implies polynomial…

Let $2\le n\le9$. Suppose that $f:R\to R$ is locally Lipschitz function satisfying $f(t)\ge A\min\{0,t\}-K$ for all $t\in R$ with some constant $A\ge0$ and $K\ge 0$. We establish an a priori interior H\"older regularity of $C^2$-stable…

The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for any smooth complex surface $X$ there exists a lower bound for the selfintersection of reduced divisors on $X$. This conjecture is open. It is also not known if the existence of such a…

For the ordinary differential equation (ODE) $\dot{x}(t) = f(t,x)$, $x(0) = x_0$, $t\geq 0$, $x\in R^d$, assume $f$ to be at least continuous in $t$ and locally Lipshitz in $x$, and if necessary, several times continuously differentiable in…

We show that if a subset A of {1,...,N} does not contain any solutions to the equation x+y+z=3w with the variables not all equal, then A has size at most exp(-c(log N)^{1/7}) N, where c > 0 is some absolute constant. In view of Behrend's…

A symmetric subset of the reals is one that remains invariant under some reflection z --> c-z. We consider, for any 0 < x <= 1, the largest real number D(x) such that every subset of $[0,1]$ with measure greater than x contains a symmetric…

For a random variable $N = 0, 1, 2, \ldots$ we study the following question: When does the sum of $N$ many independent and identically distributed copies of a random variable $X$ have the same law a a nontrivial rescaling of $X$? We show…

We study permanence properties of the classes of stable and so-called D-stable C*-algebras, respectively. More precisely, we show that a C_0(X)-algebra A is stable if all its fibres are, provided that the underlying compact metrizable space…

A very particular by-product of the result announced in the title reads as follows: Let $(X,<\cdot,\cdot>)$ be a real Hilbert space, $T:X\to X$ a compact and symmetric linear operator, and $z\in X$ such that the equation $T(x)-\|T\|x=z$ has…

We consider an abstract system of Timoshenko type $$ \begin{cases} \rho_1{{\ddot \varphi}} + a A^{\frac12}(A^{\frac12}\varphi + \psi) =0\\ \rho_2{{\ddot \psi}} + b A \psi + a (A^{\frac12}\varphi + \psi) - \delta A^\gamma {\theta} = 0\\…

We present a rigidity property of holomorphic generators on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of a Hilbert space $H$. Namely, if $f\in\Hol (\mathbb{B},H)$ is the generator of a one-parameter continuous semigroup ${F_t}_{t\geq 0}$ on…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $T:[0,\infty)\rightarrow {\mathcal{L}}(X,X),$ the bounded linear operators on $X.$ A family $\{T(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\subseteq {% \mathcal{L}}(X,X)$ is called a one-parameter semigroup if $T(s+t)=T(s)T(t),$ and…

A sufficient condition for asymptotic stability of the zero solution to an abstract nonlinear evolution problem is given. The governing equation is $\dot{u}=A(t)u+F(t,u),$ where $A(t)$ is a bounded linear operator in Hilbert space $H$ and…

In the absence of a half-bound state, a compactly supported potential of a Schr\"odinger operator on the line is determined up to a translation by the zeros and poles of the meropmorphically continued left (or right) reflection coefficient.…

The contraction semigroup $S(t)={\rm e}^{t\mathbb{A}}$ generated by the abstract linear dissipative evolution equation $$ \ddot u + A u + f(A) \dot u=0 $$ is analyzed, where $A$ is a strictly positive selfadjoint operator and $f$ is an…

Given a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}$, we consider the relationship between stability of the structure $(\mathbb{Z},+,0,A)$ and sparsity of the set $A$. We first show that a strong enough sparsity assumption on $A$ yields stability of…

A C*-algebra $A$ is said to be stable if it is isomorphic to $A \otimes K(\ell_2)$. Hjelmborg and R\o rdam have shown that countable inductive limits of separable stable C*-algebras are stable. We show that this is no longer true in the…

For sums $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n X_k$, $n\ge 1$ of independent random variables $ X_k $ taking values in $\Z$ we prove, as a consequence of a more general result, that if (i) For some function $1\le \phi(t)\uparrow \infty $ as $t\to \infty$, and…
