We obtain sufficient conditions for an exponential type entire function not to have zeros in the open lower half-plane. An exact inequality containing the real and imaginary parts of such functions and their derivatives restricted to the…

A simple way of obtaining robust estimates of the "center" (or the "location") and of the "scatter" of a dataset is to use the maximum likelihood estimate with a class of heavy-tailed distributions, regardless of the "true" distribution…

For any $d \geq 1$, random $\mathbb{Z}^d$ shifts of finite type (SFTs) were defined in previous work of the authors. For a parameter $\alpha \in [0,1]$, an alphabet $\mathcal{A}$, and a scale $n \in \mathbb{N}$, one obtains a distribution…

This contribution presents two exponential stability criteria for linear systems with multiple pointwise and distributed delays. These results (necessary and sufficient conditions) are given in terms of the delay Lyapunov matrix and the…

We extend an uncertainty principle due to Beurling into a characterization of Hermite functions. More precisely, all functions $f$ on $\R^d$ which may be written as $P(x)\exp (Ax,x)$, with $A$ a real symmetric definite positive matrix, are…

We prove that every place of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension F' of F. We show that F'|F can be chosen to be normal. If K is perfect and P is of rank 1, then…

We prove that Picard-Lindel\"of iterations for an arbitrary smooth normal Cauchy problem for PDE converge if we assume a suitable Weissinger-like sufficient condition. This condition includes both a large class of non-analytic PDE or…

Stable distributions are an important class of infinitely-divisible probability distributions, of which two special cases are the Cauchy distribution and the normal distribution. Aside from a few special cases, the density function for…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of a Banach space $X$, $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:E \rightrightarrows X^*$ be a set-valued mapping. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $f, G$ for the existence of a…

We consider the Cauchy problem for the Gross-Pitaevskii infinite linear hierarchy of equations on $\mathbb{R}^n.$ By introducing a (F)-norm in certain Sobolev type spaces of sequences of marginal density matrices, we establish local…

We generalize the Sarkozy-Furstenberg theorem on squares in difference sets of integers, and show that, given any positive definite function f:Z_N->C with density at least r(N), where r(N)=O((\log N)^{-c}), there is a perfect square s<=N/2…

In the present paper, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a function involving divided differences of the digamma and trigamma functions to be completely monotonic. Consequently, necessary and sufficient conditions are…

We extend the definitions of $\nabla-$convex and completely monotonic functions for two variables. Some general identities of Popoviciu type for sum $\sum \sum p_{ij} f(y_i, z_j)$ and integrals $\int P(y)f(y) dy$, $\int \int P(y,z) f(y,z)…

We establish several sufficient conditions for the strong ellipticity of any fourth-order elasticity tensor in this paper. The first presented sufficient condition is an extension of positive definite matrices, which states that the strong…

Let $X$ be a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme. There are two fundamental and pervasive facts about the unbounded derived category of $X$: (1) $\mathsf{D}_{\mathrm{qc}}(X)$ is compactly generated by perfect complexes and (2) if $X$…

Consider the Cauchy problem for the radial cubic wave equation in 1+3 dimensions with either the focusing or defocusing sign. This problem is critical in $\dot{H}^{\frac{1}{2}} \times \dot{H}^{-\frac{1}{2}}$ and subcritical with respect to…

We show that under quite general conditions, various multifractal spectra may be obtained as Legendre transforms of functions $T\colon \RR\to \RR$ arising in the thermodynamic formalism. We impose minimal requirements on the maps we…
