Given polynomial maps $f, g \colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n,$ we consider the {\em polynomial complementary problem} of finding a vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that \begin{equation*} f(x) \ \ge \ 0, \quad g(x) \ \ge \ 0, \quad…
We determine all entire functions $f$ such that for nonzero complex values $a\neq b$ the implications $f=a \Rightarrow f' =a$ and $f' =b \Rightarrow f=b$ hold. This solves an open problem in uniqueness theory. In this context we give a…
In this paper we investigate the functional equation \[ \varphi \left( \frac{x+y}{2} \right) \left( \psi_1(x) - \psi_2(y) \right) = 0 \hspace{20mm} \left( \mbox{ for all } x \in I_1 \mbox{ and } y \in I_2 \right) \] where $ I_1 \,, I_2 $…
We deal with the existence of positive solutions for a two-point boundary value problem associated with the nonlinear second order equation $u''+a(x)g(u)=0$. The weight $a(x)$ is allowed to change its sign. We assume that the function…
Let $(M^{2},g_{0})$ be a compact manifold with boundary, and let $g$ and $g_{0}$ be conformally related by $g=e^{2f}g_{0}$. We show that the inequality $$\nu_{1}(g)\geq\Big(\max_{x\in\partial M}e^{-f(x)}\Big)\nu_{1}(g_{0})$$ stated in…
We analyze the role played by $n$-convexity for the fulfillment of a series of linear functional inequalities that extend the Hornich-Hlawka functional inequality, $f\left( x\right) +f\left( y\right) +f\left( z\right) +f\left( x+y+z\right)…
Under general conditions, the equation $g(x^1, ..., x^q, y) = 0$ implicitly defines $y$ locally as a function of $x^1, ..., x^q$. In this article, we express divided differences of $y$ in terms of divided differences of $g$, generalizing a…
For positive semidefinite matrices $A$ and $B$, Ando and Zhan proved the inequalities $||| f(A)+f(B) ||| \ge ||| f(A+B) |||$ and $||| g(A)+g(B) ||| \le ||| g(A+B) |||$, for any unitarily invariant norm, and for any non-negative operator…
Using the fixed point alternative theorem we establish the orthogonal stability of quadratic functional equation of Pexider type $f(x+y)+g(x-y)=h(x)+k(y)$, where $f, g, h, k$ are mappings from a symmetric orthogonality space to a Banach…
The real numbers, it is taught at universities, correspond to our idea of a continuum, although the hyperreal numbers are located ``in between'' the real numbers. The number $x + dx$, where $dx$ should be an infinitesimal number and $x$…
We provide new results on the existence of extremal solutions for discontinuous differential equations with a deviated argument which can be either delayed or advanced. The boundary condition is allowed to be discontinuous and to depend…
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the local and global comparison of two $n$-variable generalized Bajraktarevi\'c means, i.e., to establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions in terms of the unknown functions…
We consider the inequality $$ - \operatorname{div} A (x, \nabla u) \ge f (u) \quad \mbox{in } {\mathbb R}^n, $$ where $n \ge 2$ and $A$ is a Caratheodory function such that $$ C_1 |\xi|^p \le \xi A (x, \xi) \quad \mbox{and} \quad |A (x,…
In this work we study the solutions to some fractional higher-order equations. Special cases in which time-fractional derivatives take integer values are also examined and the explicit solutions are presented. Such solutions can be…
A new integrability condition of the Riccati equation $dy/dx=a(x)+b(x)y+c(x)y^{2}$ is presented. By introducing an auxiliary equation depending on a generating function $f(x)$, the general solution of the Riccati equation can be obtained if…
We present an empirical-yet-rigorous approach for solving a wide class of functional equations, thereby automating many results that previously required considerable human ingenuity and human labor.
The aim of this paper is to derive a solution for a generalized free electron laser equation in terms of the incomplete Mittag-Leffler function and in terms of the incomplete Wright function.
We establish a set of relations between several quite diverse types of weighted inequalities involving various integral operators and fairly general quasinorm-like functionals which we call sub-monotone. The main result enables one to solve…
We give an elementary proof of a question asked by Fouvry, Kowalski and Michel on the solutions of the equation $x+\frac{1}{x}+y+\frac{1}{y}+t=0$ over a finite field, using the results obtained by highschool students during their…
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…
