This course explains how the usual mean field evolution partial differential equations (PDEs) in Statistical Physics - such as the Vlasov-Poisson system, the vorticity formulation of the two-dimensional Euler equation for incompressible…
We prove that in the context of general Markov semigroups Beckner inequalities with constants separated from zero as $p\to 1^+$ are equivalent to the modified log Sobolev inequality (previously only one implication was known to hold in this…
In this study, we show that all non-trivial solutions of $f"+A(z)f'+B(z)f=0$ have infinite order, provided that the entire coefficient $A(z)$ has certain restrictions and $B(z)$ has multiply-connected Fatou component. We also extend these…
This paper examines the coefficient problems for the class of semigroup generators, a topic in complex dynamics that has recently been studied in context of geometric function theory. Further, sharp bounds of coefficient functional such as…
It is well-known that an extremely accurate parametrization of the growth function of matter density perturbations in $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, with errors below $0.25 \%$, is given by $f(a)=\Omega_{m}^{\gamma} \,(a)$ with $\gamma \simeq…
We continue the investigation of the spectral theory and exponential asymptotics of Markov processes, following Kontoyiannis and Meyn (2003). We introduce a new family of nonlinear Lyapunov drift criteria, characterizing distinct subclasses…
Motivated by problems in control theory concerning decay rates for the damped wave equation $$w_{tt}(x,t) + \gamma(x) w_t(x,t) + (-\Delta + 1)^{s/2} w(x,t) = 0,$$ we consider an analogue of the classical Paneah-Logvinenko-Sereda theorem for…
A pair of linearly independent asymptotic solutions are constructed for the second-order linear difference equation {equation*} P_{n+1}(x)-(A_{n}x+B_{n})P_{n}(x)+P_{n-1}(x)=0, {equation*} where $A_n$ and $B_n$ have asymptotic expansions of…
Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n$. In $2004$, Aziz and Rather \cite{aziz2004some} investigated the dependence of \[\bigg|P(Rz)-\alpha P(z)+\beta\biggl\{\biggl(\frac{R+1}{2}\biggr)^n-|\alpha|\biggr\}P(z)\bigg|, \ \text{for} \ z \in…

An interrelationship is found between the accumulation points of zeros of non-trivial solutions of $f"+Af=0$ and the boundary behavior of the analytic coefficient $A$ in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. It is…
Given a bounded open subset $\Omega$ and closed subsets $A,B$ of $\mathbb{R}^k$, we discuss when an estimate $u(x)\le g(dist(x,A\cup B))$, $x\in\Omega\setminus(A\cup B)$, for a function $u$ subharmonic on $\Omega\setminus B$, implies that…
Let $G(k)=\int_0^1g(x)e^{kx}dx$, $g\in L^1(0,1)$. The main result of this paper is the following theorem. {\bf Theorem}. {\it If $\limsup_{k\to +\infty}|G(k)|<\infty$, then $g=0$. There exists $g\not\equiv 0$, $g\in L^1(0,1)$, such that…
For $V\sim \alpha \log\log T$ with $0<\alpha<2$, we prove \[ \frac{1}{T}\text{meas}\{t\in [T,2T]: \log|\zeta(1/2+ {\rm i} t)|>V\}\ll \frac{1}{\sqrt{\log\log T}} e^{-V^2/\log\log T}. \] This improves prior results of Soundararajan and of…

A basic version of the P\'olya-Szeg\H{o} inequality states that if $\Phi$ is a Young function, the $\Phi$-Dirichlet energy -- the integral of $\Phi(\|\nabla f\|)$ -- of a suitable function $f\in \mathcal{V}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, the class of…
Let $\sigma+i\gamma$ be a zero of the Riemann zeta function to the right of the line $\frac{1}{2}+it$. We show that this zero causes large oscillations of the error term of the prime number theorem. Our result is close to optimal both in…
