Let $L$ be an infinitely degenerate second-order linear operator defined on a bounded smooth Euclidean domain. Under weaker conditions than those of H\"ormander, we show that the Dirichlet problem associated with $L$ has a unique smooth…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

We study the $q$-hypergeometric difference operator $L$ on a particular Hilbert space. In this setting $L$ can be considered as an extension of the Jacobi operator for $q^{-1}$-Al-Salam--Chihara polynomials. Spectral analysis leads to…

We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the linear independence of solutions of differential equations for hyperlogarithms. The key fact is that the multiplier (i.e. the factor $M$ in the differential equation $dS=MS$) has only…

We first generalize the results of Le\'on and M\"uller [Studia Math. 175(1) 2006] on hypercyclic subspaces to sequences of operators on Fr\'echet spaces with a continuous norm. Then we study the particular case of iterates of an operator T…

Reducibility methods, aiming to simplify systems by conjugating them to those with constant coefficients, are crucial for studying the existence of quasiperiodic solutions. In KAM theory for PDEs, these methods help address the…
