We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…
In 2002 Watkins conjectured that given an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, its Mordell-Weil rank is at most the $2$-adic valuation of its modular degree. We consider the analogous problem over function fields of positive…
The topic of gamma type functions and related functional equation $f(x+1)=g(x)f(x)$ has been seriously studied from first half of the twentieth century till now. Regarding unique solutions of the equation the asymptotic condition…
We obtain nonvanishing estimates for central values of certain self-dual Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions on $\operatorname{GL}_2({\bf{A}}_F) \times \operatorname{GL}_2({\bf{A}}_F)$, and more generally $\operatorname{GL}_r({\bf{A}}_F) \times…
We show that the following generalized version of Korn's second inequality with nonconstant measurable matrix valued coefficients P ||DuP+(DuP)^T||_q+||u||_q >= c ||Du||_q for u in W_0^{1,q}({\Omega};R^3), 1<q<{\infty} is in general false,…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate a class P of continuous and periodic functions on R. The class P is defined so that second-order central differences of a function satisfy some concavity-type estimate. Although this definition…
We prove, for the energy critcal, focusing NLW, that for Cauchy data (u_0, u_1) whose energy is smaller than that of (W,0), where W is the well-known radial positive solution to the corresponding ellipyic equation, the following dichotomy…

We present a method to compute high-order derivatives of the total energy which can be used in the framework of density functional theory. We provide a proof of the $2n+1$ theorem for a general class of energy functionals in which the…
In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution of the nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ \[ (-\Delta)^s u =\varepsilon h u^q+u^{2_s^*-1} \] in the convex case $1\leq q<2_s^*-1$, where $…

When extending the Ehrhart lattice point enumerator $L_P(t)$ to allow real dilation parameters $t$, we lose the invariance under integer translations that exists when $t$ is restricted to be an integer. This paper studies this phenomenon;…
A cubic algebraic equation for the effective parametrizations of the standard gravitational Lagrangian has been obtained without applying any variational principle.It was suggested that such an equation may find application in gravity…

The polyconvexity of a strain-energy function is nowadays increasingly presented as the ultimate material stability condition for an idealized elastic response. While the mathematical merits of polyconvexity are clearly understood, its…
In this article, we study the order of vanishing and a quantitative form of Landis' conjecture in the plane for solutions to second-order elliptic equations with variable coefficients and singular lower order terms. Precisely, we let $A$ be…
Hamiltonian systems with functionally dependent constraints (irregular systems), for which the standard Dirac procedure is not directly applicable, are discussed. They are classified according to their behavior in the vicinity of the…
In the first part we show that a vector-valued almost separably valued function $f$ is holomorphic (harmonic) if and only if it is dominated by an $L^1_\mathrm{loc}$ function and there exists a separating set $W\subset X'$ such that…
This paper presents a variational approach to doubly-nonlinear (gradient) flows (P) of nonconvex energies along with nonpotential perturbations (i.e., perturbation terms without any potential structures). An elliptic-in-time regularization…
We address optimization of nonlinear functions of the form $f(Wx)$, where $f:\R^d\to \R$ is a nonlinear function, $W$ is a $d\times n$ matrix, and feasible $x$ are in some large finite set $F$ of integer points in $\R^n$. One motivation is…
