Cauchy's sum theorem of 1821 has been the subject of rival interpretations ever since Robinson proposed a novel reading in the 1960s. Some claim that Cauchy modified the hypothesis of his theorem in 1853 by introducing uniform convergence,…

We prove uniform convergence of metrics $g_k$ on a closed surface with bounded integral curvature (measure) in the sense of A.D. Alexandrov, under the assumption that the curvature measures $\mathbb{K}_{g_k}=\mu^1_k-\mu^2_k$, where…

For any $\alpha \in (0,1)$, we construct an example of a solution to a parabolic equation with measurable coefficients in two space dimensions which has an isolated singularity and is not better that $C^\alpha$. We prove that there exists…

By methods based on elementary Linear Algebra we obtain sharp constants in cases of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality via quasi-conformal changes of variables. Some of our results were obtained earlier by Lam and Lu. Our proofs are…

We prove convergence to equilibrium for a class of coagulation-fragmentation equations that do not satisfy a detailed balance condition. More precisely, we consider perturbations of constant rate kernels. Our result provides in particular…

We prove that if two homomorphisms from O_{\infty} to a purely infinite simple C*-algebra have the same class in KK-theory, and if either both are unital or both are nonunital, then they are approximately unitarily equivalent. It follows…

We derive norm bounds that imply the convergence of perturbation theory in fermionic quantum field theory if the propagator is summable and has a finite Gram constant. These bounds are sufficient for an application in renormalization group…

In this note we establish a uniform bound for the distribution of a sum $S_n=X_1+\cdots+X_n$ of independent non-homogeneous Bernoulli trials. Specifically, we prove that $\sigma_n \mathbb{P}(S_n\!=\!j)\leq\eta$ where $\sigma_n$ denotes the…

Let K \subset R^N be a convex body containing the origin. A measurable set G \subset R^N with positive Lebesgue measure is said to be uniformly K-dense if, for any fixed r > 0, the measure of G \cap (x + rK) is constant when x varies on the…

For each positive integer $m$, the $m$th order harmonic numbers are given by $$H_n^{(m)}=\sum_{0<k\le n}\frac1{k^m}\ \ (n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ We discover exact values of some series involving harmonic numbers of order not exceeding four. For…

We consider a Lurie system obtained via a connection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear feedback function. Such systems often have more than a single equilibrium and are thus not contractive with respect to any norm. We…

This paper is concerned with a class of nonmonotone descent methods for minimizing a proper lower semicontinuous KL function $\Phi$, which generates a sequence satisfying a nonmonotone decrease condition and a relative error tolerance.…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a nonempty set of infinite matrices of linear operators between two topological vector spaces. We show that a sequence is uniformly $\mathscr{A}$-summable if and only if it is $B$-summable for all matrices $B$ of linear…

Given a positive integer $N$ and real number $\alpha\in [0, 1]$, let $m(\alpha,N)$ denote the minimum, over all sets $A\subset \mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ of size at least $\alpha N$, of the normalized count of 3-term arithmetic progressions…

In this paper we present a convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$. By deriving conditions on the $a_{n}$ which ensure that the odd and even parts of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$ converge, these same…

While numerous extensions of Banach's fixed point theorem typically offer only sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point and the convergence of iterative sequences, this study introduces a generalization…

This note deals with the relationship between the abscissas of simple, uniform and absolute convergence for the Dirichlet series $f(s) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n n^{-s}$, when the coefficients $a_n$ are either multiplicative or completely…

Cauchy's condensation test allows to determine the convergence of a monotone series by looking at a weighted subseries that only involves terms of the original series indexed by the powers of two. It is natural to ask whether the converse…

We discuss the universal constants c, epsilon, and h in relation to the CPT symmetry. Because MKSA units (S.I. units) have no essential meaning, we should use the units where c^2=epsilon^2=h^2=1. When volume is negative in the left-handed…

In the present paper we consider the trigonometric series with (b,r)-general monotone and (b,r)-rest bounded variation coefficients. Necessary and sufficien conditions of L-convergence for such series are obtained in terms of the…
