Fix a modulus $q$. One would expect the number of primes in each invertible residue class mod $q$ to be multinomially distributed, i.e. for each $p \,\mathrm{mod}\, q$ to behave like an independent random variable uniform on…

We refine some previous sufficient conditions for exponential stability of the linear ODE $$ u''+ cu' + (b+a(t))u = 0$$ where $b, c>0$ and $a$ is a bounded nonnegative time dependent coefficient. This allows to improve some results on…

We find the exact best possible range of those $p > 1$ for which any function which belongs to $A_1(\mathbb{R})$, with $A_1$-constant equal to $c$, must also belong to $L^p$. In this way we provide alternative proofs of the results in [2]…

The existence of higher derivative discontinuous solutions to a first order ordinary differential equation is shown to reveal a nonlinear SL(2,R) structure of analysis in the sense that a real variable $t$ can now accomplish changes not…

We present here some connections between the liberation process for projections $(P,Q)\mapsto(P,U_tQU_t^*)$ and its counterpart $(R,S)\mapsto(R,U_tSU_t^*)$ for symmetries when the projections $\{P,Q\}$ and the symmetries $\{R,S\}$ are…

We study finite-sample inference for the trade-off function of two unknown probability distributions, the function that traces the optimal type I/type II error frontier in binary testing. Given samples from distributions $P$ and $Q$, we…

Consider the following Kirchhoff type problem $$ \left\{\aligned -\bigg(a+b\int_{\mathbb{B}_R}|\nabla u|^2dx\bigg)\Delta u&= \lambda u^{q-1} + \mu u^{p-1}, &\quad \text{in}\mathbb{B}_R, \\ u&>0,&\quad\text{in}\mathbb{B}_R,\\…

The weak and strong comparison principles, respectively, are investigated for quasi-linear elliptic boundary value problems with the $p$-Laplacian in one space dimension. We treat the degenerate case of $2 < p < \infty$ and allow also for…

Let $p,q$ be functions on $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ satisfying $1\ll q\ll p\ll N$, we consider $p(x)$-Laplacian problems of the form \[ \left\{ \begin{array} [c]{l}% -\Delta_{p(x)}u+V(x)\vert u\vert ^{p(x)-2}u=\lambda\vert u\vert…

In this paper we prove a strong comparison principle for radially decreasing solutions $u,v\in C_{0}^{1,\alpha}(\Bar{B_R})$ of the singular equations $-\Delta_p u-\frac{1}{u^\delta}=f(x)$ and $-\Delta_p v-\frac{1}{v^\delta}=g(x)$ in $B_R$.…

In this paper we study solutions, possibly unbounded and sign-changing, of the following problem: -\D_{\lambda} u=|x|_{\lambda}^a |u|^{p-1}u, in R^n,\;n\geq 1,\; p>1, and a \geq 0, where \D_{\lambda} is a strongly degenerate elliptic…

Let T : Lp --> Lp be a contraction, with p strictly between 1 and infinity, and assume that T is analytic, that is, there exists a constant K such that n\norm{T^n-T^{n-1}} < K for any positive integer n. Under the assumption that T is…

We consider the fractional elliptic inequality with variable-exponent nonlinearity $$ (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u+\lambda\, \Delta u \geq |u|^{p(x)}, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $N\geq 1$, $\alpha\in (0,2)$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$…

In this paper we prove a noncommutative version of Hardy-Littlewood inequalities relating a function and its Fourier coefficients on the group $SU(2)$. As a consequence, we use it to obtain lower bounds for the $L^p-L^q$ norms of Fourier…

For a fixed $1\le p<+\infty$ denote by $\Vert\cdot\Vert_p$ the usual norm in the space $l_p$ (or $L_p$). In this paper we prove that for all real numbers $p$ and $q$ such that $2\le p\le q$ holds $$ 2(\Vert x\Vert_p^q+\Vert y\Vert_p^q)\le…

In this paper, a new type of comparison theorem is presented for some initial-boundary value problems of second order nonlinear parabolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. This comparison theorem has an advantage over the…

In this paper we prove the existence of multiple nontrivial solutions of the following equation. \begin{align*} \begin{split} -\Delta_{p}u & = \lambda |u|^{q-2}u+f(x,u)+\mu\,\,\mbox{in}\,\,\Omega, u & = 0\,\, \mbox{on}\,\, \partial\Omega;…

In this note, we give an alternative proof of the following result. Let p, q >= 2 be two multiplicatively independent integers. If an infinite set of integers is both p- and q-recognizable, then it is syndetic. Notice that this result is…

The result is established for a Jordan measurable region with rectifiable boundary. The integrand F for the new plane integral to be used is a function of axis-parallel rectangles, finitely additive on non-overlapping ones, hence…

In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of the following too extreme cases of the Leopoldt conjecture: the case when $\K/\Q$ is a solvable extension and the case when it is a totally real extension in which $p$ splits completely.…
