We present an algorithm producing all rational functions $f$ with prescribed $n+1$ Taylor coefficients at the origin and such that $\|f\|_\infty\le 1$ and $\deg f\le k$ for every fixed $k\ge n$. The case where $k<n$ is also discussed.

For most values of parameters $\lambda$ and $\alpha$, the zeros of the Lerch zeta-function $L(\lambda, \alpha, s)$ are distributed very chaotically. In this paper we consider the special case of equal parameters $L(\lambda, \lambda, s)$ and…

It is shown that in a class of counterexamples to Elliott's conjecture by Matomaki, Radziwill and Tao, the Chowla conjecture holds along a subsequence.

We consider a perturbed relativistic Kepler problem \begin{equation*} \dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left(\dfrac{m\dot{x}}{\sqrt{1-|\dot{x}|^2/c^2}}\right)=-\alpha\, \dfrac{x}{|x|^3}+\varepsilon \, \nabla_x U(t,x), \qquad x \in…

For any positive integer $q$, it is a question of Baker whether the numbers $L(1, \chi)$, where $\chi$ runs over the non-trivial characters mod $q$, are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. The question is answered in affirmative for…

We consider an evolution equation with the regularized fractional derivative of an order $\alpha \in (0,1)$ with respect to the time variable, and a uniformly elliptic operator with variable coefficients acting in the spatial variables.…

A locally checkable labeling problem (LCL) on a group $\Gamma$ asks one to find a labeling of the Cayley graph of $\Gamma$ satisfying a fixed, finite set of "local" constraints. Typical examples include proper coloring and perfect matching…

We observe that a slight adjustment of a method of Caffarelli, Li, and Nirenberg yields that plurisubharmonic functions extend across subharmonic singularities as long as the singularities form a closed set of measure zero. This solves a…

We study the shifted convolution sums associated to completely multiplicative functions taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$ and give combinatorical proofs of two recent results in the direction of Chowla's conjecture. We also determine the…

Methods are described for the solution of linear inference problems subject to deterministic constraints. The approach builds on work by Backus (1970a,b,c) and Parker (1977), but a range useful advances are suggested to address both…

Let $k\geq 2$ be an integer and let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function. Given $k$ non-negative distinct integers $h_1,\ldots,h_k$, the Chowla conjecture claims that $\sum_{n\leq x}\lambda(n+h_1)\cdots \lambda(n+h_k)=o(x)$ as $x\to\infty$.…

This work deals with a new generalization of $r$-Stirling numbers using $l$-tuple of permutations and partitions called $(l,r)$-Stirling numbers of both kinds. We study various properties of these numbers using combinatorial interpretations…

We establish a vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology ($q\ge p$) of a twisted cylinder, which is a generalization of a warped cylinder. The result is new even for warped cylinders. We base on the methods for proving the $(p,q)$…

This work is devoted to the study of the existence and periodicity of solutions of initial differential problems, paying special attention to the explicit computation of the period. These problems are also connected with some particular…

We consider the $(1+1)$-dimensional quasilinear wave equation $g(x)w_{tt}-w_{xx}+h(x) (w_t^3)_t=0$ on $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ which arises in the study of localized electromagnetic waves modeled by Kerr-nonlinear Maxwell equations. We…

Consider the interaction of biharmonic waves with a periodic array of cavities, characterized by the Kirchhoff--Love model. This paper investigates the perfectly matched layer (PML) formulation and its numerical soution to the governing…

We consider Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s, \chi)$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal quadratic character to the modulus $q$. We make explicit a result due to Pintz and Stephens by showing that $|L(1, \chi)|\leq \frac{1}{2}\log q$ for all $q\geq…

In this work we study Cauchy problem for a high-order differential equation $\frac{\partial u(y,x)}{\partial y}+P(\frac{\partial}{\partial x})u(y,x)=\gamma\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(u^2(y,x))+F(y,x)$. We prove that the problem is…

If a function $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ can be represented as the sum of $n$ periodic functions as $f=f_1+\dots+f_n$ with $f(x+\alpha_j)=f(x)$ ($j=1,\dots,n$), then it also satisfies a corresponding $n$-order difference equation…

In this work I consider the abstract Cauchy problems with Caputo fractional time derivative of order $\alpha\in(0,1]$, and discuss the continuity of the respective solutions regarding the parameter $\alpha$. I also present a study about the…
