Given two real numbers, the $L^2$ functions whose Fourier transforms vanish with a certain rapidity near the given numbers are characterised as those that are expressible as the sum of a certain number of generalised finite differences that…

Recently we constructed Mahler discrete residues for rational functions and showed they comprise a complete obstruction to the Mahler summability problem of deciding whether a given rational function $f(x)$ is of the form $g(x^p)-g(x)$ for…

Painleve's transcendental differential equation P_{VI} may be expressed as the consistency condition for a pair of linear differential equations with 2 by 2 matrix coefficients with rational entries. By a construction due to Tracy and…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…

Different finite difference replacements for the derivative are analyzed in the context of the Heisenberg commutation relation. The type of the finite difference operator is shown to be tied to whether one can naturally consider $P$ and $X$…

This paper presents an algebraic approach to characterizing higher-order differential operators. While the foundational Leibniz rule addresses first-order derivatives, its extension to higher orders typically involves identities relating…

A family of $q$-difference-differential equations in two complex variables is studied, under the action of a so-called Mahler transform on time variable. The appearance of a leading formal $q$-difference operator of irregular type in the…

In this paper, the theory of Gelfand problems is adapted to the 1--Laplacian setting. Concretely, we deal with the following problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{cc} -\Delta_1u=\lambda f(u) &\hbox{in }\Omega\,;\\[2mm] u=0…

We consider a class of partial differential equations with Carlitz derivatives over a local field of positive characteristic, for which an analog of the Cauchy problem is well-posed. Equations of such type correspond to quasi-holonomic…

We prove that for every integer $n\geq 4$, the $n$-linear operator whose symbol is given by a product of two generic symbols of $n$-linear Hilbert transform type, does not satisfy any $L^p$ estimates similar to those in H\"{o}lder…

In this paper, we prove the following two results. Let $d$ be a natural number and $q,s$ be co-prime integers such that $1 < qs$. Then there exists a constant $\delta > 0$ depending only on $q,s$ and $d$ such that for any finite subset $A$…

We study two classes of linear difference differential equations analogous to Euler-Cauchy ordinary differential equations, but in which multiple arguments are shifted forward or backward by fixed amounts. Special cases of these equations…

It is shown how to define difference equations on particular lattices $\{x_n\}$, $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, made of values of an elliptic function at a sequence of arguments in arithmetic progression (elliptic lattice). Solutions to special…

The present paper essentially contains two results that generalize and improve some of the constructions of [arXiv:0801.1493]. First of all, in the case of one derivation, we prove that the parameterized Galois theory for difference…

We study the transients of linear max-plus dynamical systems. For that, we consider for each irreducible max-plus matrix A, the weighted graph G(A) such that A is the adjacency matrix of G(A). Based on a novel graph-theoretic counterpart to…

Given constants $x, \nu \in \mathbb{C}$ and the space $\mathscr{H}_0$ of entire functions in $\mathbb{C}$ vanishing at $0$, we consider the integro-differential operator $$ \mathfrak{L} = \left ( \frac{x \, \nu(1-\nu)}{1-x} \right ) \;…
