For all $n > k \ge 1$, we give formulas for the nullity $N(n,k)$ of the $n \times n$ skew-symmetric Toeplitz band matrix whose first $k$ superdiagonals have all entries $1$ and whose remaining superdiagonals have all entries $0$. This is…

Let $D$ be a set of positive integers. A $D$-diffsequence of length $k$ is a sequence of positive integers $a_1 < \cdots < a_k$ such that $a_{i+1}-a_i\in D$ for $i=1,\ldots,k-1$. For $D=\{2^i\mid i\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}\}$, it is known that…

Let $\Sigma=\{a_1, \ldots , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \ldots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are pairwise distinct. A famous conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>C\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $C$, while the…

Let $p \in (1,\infty)$, $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$, and $\Omega\subsetneq \mathbb{R}^N$ be a $C^{1,\gamma}$-domain with a compact boundary $\partial \Omega$, where $\gamma\in (0,1]$. Denote by $\delta_{\Omega}(x)$ the distance of a point $x\in…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of $\mathbf{R}^{N},$ $N\geq2.$ Let, for $p>N,$ \[ \Lambda_{p}(\Omega):=\inf\left\{ \left\Vert \nabla u\right\Vert _{p}^{p}:u\in W_{0}^{1,p}(\Omega)\quad and\quad\left\Vert u\right\Vert _{\infty}=1\right\} .…

The existence of unimodular forms with small norms on sequence spaces is crucial in a variety of problems in modern analysis. We prove that the infimum of $\left\Vert A\right\Vert $ over all unimodular $d$-linear (complex or real) forms $A$…

In this paper we find a positive weak solution for a semipositone $p(\cdot )$- Laplacian problem. More precisely, we find a solution for the problem \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -\Delta _{p(\cdot )}u=f(u)-\lambda & \text{in }\Omega \\ u>0 &…

Given a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of rational numbers $\Gamma$, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we determine an asymptotic formula for average over prime numbers, powers of the order of the reduction group…

Let G be a finite p-solvable group and P a Sylow p-subgroup of G. Suppose that $\gamma_{l(p-1)}(P)\subseteq \gamma_r(P)^{p^s}$ for $l(p-1)<r+s(p-1)$, then the p-length is bounded by a function depending on l.

Let p be a prime, and let n>0 and r be integers. In 1913 Fleck showed that $$F_p(n,r)=(-p)^{-[(n-1)/(p-1)]}\sum_{k=r(mod p)}\binom{n}{k}(-1)^k\in\Z.$$ Nowadays this result plays important roles in many aspects. Recently Sun and Wan…

Let $n,k\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $p_{n}$ denote the $n$th prime number. We define $p_{n}^{(k)}$ recursively as $p_{n}^{(1)}:=p_{n}$ and $p_{n}^{(k)}=p_{p_{n}^{(k-1)}}$, that is, $p_{n}^{(k)}$ is the $p_{n}^{(k-1)}$th prime. In this note we…

In 2011, W. Lang derived a novel, explicit formula for the sum of powers of integers $S_k(n) = 1^k + 2^k + \cdots + n^k$ involving simultaneously the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind. In this note, we first recall and then…

A positive integer $n$ is said to be a palindrome in base $b$ (or $b$-adic palindrome) if the representation of $n = (a_k a_{k-1} \cdots a_0)_b$ in base $b$ with $a_k \neq 0$ has the symmetric property $a_{k-i} = a_i$ for every…

Our studies are directed to the existence of weak solutions to a parabolic problem containing a multi-valued term. The problem is formulated in the language of maximal monotone graphs. We assume that the growth and coercivity conditions of…

We study the asymptotic behavior, as $\gamma$ tends to infinity, of solutions for the homogeneous Dirichlet problem associated to singular semilinear elliptic equations whose model is $$ -\Delta u=\frac{f(x)}{u^\gamma}\,\text{ in }\Omega,…

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the $(p,q)$-Laplacian and with a reaction having the combined effects of a singular term and of a parametric $(p-1)$-superlinear perturbation. We prove a bifurcation-type result describing…

When ions are crowded, the effect of steric repulsion between ions becomes significant and the conventional Poisson--Boltzmann (PB) equation (without steric effect) should be modified. For this purpose, we study the asymptotic limit of…
