We show that Jacobi's bound for the order of a system of ordinary differential equations stands in the case of a diffiety defined by a quasi-regular system. We extend the result when there are less equations than variables and characterize…

When the classical Hamburger moment problem has solutions, it has either exactly one solution or infinitely many solutions. Correspondingly, the moment problem is said to be either determinate or indeterminate. In terms of Jacobi operators,…
We consider $C=A+B$ where $A$ is selfadjoint with a gap $(a,b)$ in its spectrum and $B$ is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing $B$ of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a $(\delta V)^{d/2}$ bound for perturbations…
In this paper, we determine the spectral instability of periodic odd waves for the defocusing fractional cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Our approach is based on periodic perturbations that have the same period as the standing wave…
We consider nonnegative solutions of the quasilinear heat equation $\partial_t u = \tfrac{1}{2} u \partial_x^2 u$ in one dimension. Our solutions may vanish and may be unbounded. The equation is then degenerate, and weak solutions are…
