Using generating function methods for diagonalizing the transition matrix in 2-Urn models, we provide a complete classification into solvable and unsolvable subclasses, with further division of the solvable models into the Martingale and…
A common theme in mathematics is to define generalized solutions to deal with problems that potentially do not have solutions. A classical example is the introduction of least squares solutions via the normal equations associated with a…
We consider a generalized Burger's equation (dtu = dxxu - udxu + up - {\lambda}u)in a subdomain of R, under various boundary conditions. First, using some phase plane arguments, we study the existence of stationary solutions under Dirichlet…
This paper generalizes a classification of solutions of a superlinear Dirichlet problem given in \cite{rouaki2} to a nonautonomous case. In \cite{rouaki1} the increasing of $f(t)$ was used to prove the classification and in \cite{rouaki2}…

This article is devoted to completing some aspects of the classical Cauchy-Lipschitz (or Picard-Lindel\"of) theory for general nonlinear systems posed on time scales, that are closed subsets of the set of real numbers. Partial results do…
We establish existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions to the initial-boundary value problem corresponding to an Euler-Bernoulli beam model from mechanics. The governing partial differential equation is of order four and involves…
In one dimension, the theory of the $G$-normal distribution is well-developed, and many results from the classical setting have a nonlinear counterpart. Significant challenges remain in multiple dimensions, and some of what has already been…
A general method for solving nonlinear ill-posed problems is developed. The method consists of solving a Cauchy problem with a regularized operator and proving that the solution of this problem tends, as time grows, to a solution of the…
A theoretical framework is developed to describe the transformation that distributes probability density functions uniformly over space. In one dimension, the cumulative distribution can be used, but does not generalize to higher…
We consider very general "random integers" and (attempt to) prove that many multiplicative and additive functions of such integers have limiting distributions. These integers include, for instance, the curvatures of Apollonian circle…
It is proved that the action for nonlinear Beltrami equation (quasiclassical dbar-problem) evaluated on its solution gives a tau-function for dispersionless KP hierarchy. Infinitesimal transformations of tau-function corresponding to…
We construct a diffeomorphism invariant (Colombeau-type) differential algebra canonically containing the space of distributions in the sense of L. Schwartz. Employing differential calculus in infinite dimensional (convenient) vector spaces,…
Diffusion models have had a profound impact on many application areas, including those where data are intrinsically infinite-dimensional, such as images or time series. The standard approach is first to discretize and then to apply…
The Euclidean algorithm makes possible a simple but powerful generalization of Taylor's theorem. Instead of expanding a function in a series around a single point, one spreads out the spectrum to include any number of points with given…
Equation $(-\Delta+k^2)u+f(u)=0$ in $D$, $u\mid_{\partial D}=0$, where $k=\const>0$ and $D\subset\R^3$ is a bounded domain, has a solution if $f:\R\to\R$ is a continuous function in the region $|u|\geq a$, piecewise-continuous in the region…
In this article we investigate the existence of a solution to a semilinear, elliptic, partial differential equation with distributional coefficients and data. The problem we consider is a generalization of the Lichnerowicz equation that one…
In the last two decades, many algebras of generalized functions have been constructed, particularly the so-called generalized Sobolev algebras. Our goal is to study the latter and some of their main properties. In this framework, we pose…
Nonclassical symmetries of a class of generalized Huxley equations of form $u_t=u_{xx}+k(x)u^2(1-u)$ are found. More precisely, for the class under consideration we completely classify reduction operators with $\tau=1$ and give a wide…
Linearly independent Dirichlet L-functions satisfying the same Riemann-type of functional equation have been supposed for long time to possess off critical line non trivial zeros. We are taking a closer look into this problem and into its…
