In this paper we present a combinatorial proof of Selberg's integral formula. We start by giving a bijective proof of a Theorem about the number of topological orders of a certain related directed graph. Selberg's Integral Formula then…

In the first part of this paper, inspired by the geometric method of Jean-Pierre Marec, we consider the two-impulse Hohmann transfer problem between two coplanar circular orbits as a constrained nonlinear programming problem. By using the…

Given $mp$ different $p$-planes in general position in $(m+p)$-dimensional space, a classical problem is to ask how many $p$-planes intersect all of them. For example when $m = p = 2$, this is precisely the question of "lines meeting four…

Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…

The higher-dimensional version of Kannan and Lipton's Orbit Problem asks whether it is decidable if a target subspace can be reached from a starting point under repeated application of a linear transformation. Similarly, the continuous…

A standard Hilbert-space proof of Dirichlet's principle is simplified, using an observation that a certain form of min-problem has unique solution, at a specified point. This solves Dirichlet's problem, after it is recast in the required…

We consider the semilinear elliptic boundary value problem \[ -\Delta u=\left\vert u\right\vert ^{p-2}u\text{ in }\Omega,\text{\quad }u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ for supercritical…

We consider overdetermined problems related to the fractional capacity. In particular we study $s$-harmonic functions defined in unbounded exterior sets or in bounded annular sets, and having a level set parallel to the boundary. We first…

We analyze, mainly using bifurcation methods, an elliptic superlinear problem in one-dimension with periodic boundary conditions. One of the main novelties is that we follow for the first time a bifurcation approach, relying on a…

For a given natural number $n$, the second part of Hilbert's 16th Problem asks whether there exists a finite upper bound for the maximum number of limit cycles that planar polynomial vector fields of degree $n$ can have. This maximum number…

We study the Sard problem for the endpoint map in some well-known classes of Carnot groups. Our first main result deals with step 2 Carnot groups, where we provide lower bounds (depending only on the algebra of the group) on the codimension…

We study a space-fractional Stefan problem with the Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is a model that describes superdiffusive phenomena. Our main result is the existence of the unique classical solution to this problem. In the proof we…

Since Hooley's seminal 1967 resolution of Artin's primitive root conjecture under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, numerous variations of the conjecture have been considered. We present a framework generalizing and unifying many…

The problem of solving tropical linear systems, a natural problem of tropical mathematics, has already proven to be very interesting from the algorithmic point of view: it is known to be in $NP\cap coNP$ but no polynomial time algorithm is…

In this note we construct smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, other than disks, for which the overdetermined problem $$ \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \Delta u + \lambda u &= 0 &\qquad& \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u &= b…

A famous theorem of Bers and Finn states that isolated singularities of solutions to the non-parametric minimal surface equation are removable. We show that this result remains valid, if the area functional is replaced by a general…
