Convergence of a full discretization of a second order stochastic evolution equation with nonlinear damping is shown and thus existence of a solution is established. The discretization scheme combines an implicit time stepping scheme with…
Fractional difference equations provide a flexible mathematical framework for modeling complex systems with memory, hereditary, and non-local effects. In this work, we study the stability of higher-order two-term fractional linear…
Infamously, the finite and unrestricted implication problems for the classes of i) functional and inclusion dependencies together, and ii) embedded multivalued dependencies alone are each undecidable. Famously, the restriction of i) to…

In differential geometry, the notation d^n f along with the corresponding formalism has fallen into disuse since the birth of exterior calculus. However, differentials of higher order are useful objects that can be interpreted in terms of…
We study two types of dynamical extensions of Lucas sequences and give elliptic solutions for them. The first type concerns a level-dependent (or discrete time-dependent) version involving commuting variables. We show that a nice solution…
We study a perturbed variant of Hofstadter's $Q$-recursion \[ Q(n)=Q(n-Q(n-1))+Q(n-Q(n-2))+(-1)^n, \qquad Q(1)=Q(2)=1 . \] Numerical experiments indicate that the sequence remains well defined for very large values of $n$ and exhibits an…
We propose a method to determine the solvability of the diophantine equation $x^2-Dy^2=n$ for the following two cases: $(1)$ $D=pq$, where $p,q\equiv 1 \mod 4$ are distinct primes with $(\frac{q}{p})=1$ and…
We will describe solvable lattice models whose partition functions depend on two sets of variables, $x_1,\cdots,x_n$ and $y_1, y_2, \cdots $ that have different connections with the representation theory of $\text{GL}(n,F)$ where $F$ is a…
We study, by means of a topological approach, the forced oscillations of second order functional retarded differential equations subject to periodic perturbations. We consider a delay-type functional dependence involving a gamma probability…
In this paper we devise and analyze an unconditionally stable, second-order-in-time numerical scheme for the Cahn-Hilliard equation in two and three space dimensions. We prove that our two-step scheme is unconditionally energy stable and…
Properties of four infinite families of special functions of two real variables, based on the compact simple Lie group G2, are compared and described. Two of the four families (called here C- and S-functions) are well known, whereas the…
We consider a diffusion equation in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with drift equal to the gradient of a homogeneous potential of degree $1+\gamma$, with $0<\gamma<1$, and local variance equal to $\varepsilon^2$ with $\varepsilon\to 0$. The associated…
A modification of the symmetry approach for the classification of integrable differential-difference equations of the form $$ u_{n,t} = f_n(u_{n-1}, u_n, u_{n+1}), $$ where $n$ is a discrete integer variable, is presented (the well-known…
Global existence and long-time behavior of solutions to a family of nonlinear fourth order evolution equations on $R^d$ are studied. These equations constitute gradient flows for the perturbed information functionals $F[u] = 1/(2\alpha)…
For a second-order elliptic equation in divergence form we investigate conditions on the coefficients which imply that all solutions are Lipschitz continuous or differentiable at a given point. We assume the coefficients have modulus of…
Any complex-valued polynomial on $(\mathbb{R}^n)^k$ decomposes into an algebraic combination of $O(n)$-invariant polynomials and harmonic polynomials. This decomposition, separation of variables, is granted to be unique if $n \geq 2k-1$. We…
