We introduce the concept of maximal dissipative measure-valued solution to the complete Euler system. These are solutions that maximize the entropy production rate. We show that these solutions exist under fairly general hypotheses imposed…

We argue that the spiral can, in presence of a maximum principle, be of maximal rank at a boundary, but does not preserve hypoellipticity.

We study a notion of finite energy solutions to elliptic systems with power nonlinearities in R^n. We establish sharp pointwise decay estimates for positive and sign-changing solutions. By using these estimates, we obtain symmetry results…

We consider fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic cooperative systems with quadratic growth in the gradient, such as $$ -F_i(x, u_i, Du_i, D^2 u_i)- \langle M_i(x)D u_i, D u_i \rangle =\lambda c_{i1}(x) u_1 + \cdots + \lambda c_{in}(x) u_n…

We consider optimal control problems, where the control appears in the main part of the operator. We derive the Pontryagin maximum principle as a necessary optimality condition. The proof uses the concept of topological derivatives. In…

We give elementary proofs of the univariate elliptic beta integral with bases $|q|, |p|<1$ and its multiparameter generalizations to integrals on the $A_n$ and $C_n$ root systems. We prove also some new unit circle multiple elliptic beta…
