We show how realization theory can be used to find the solutions of the Carath\'eodory extremal problem on the symmetrized bidisc \[ G \stackrel{\rm{def}}{=} \{(z+w,zw):|z|<1, \, |w|<1\}. \] We show that, generically, solutions are unique…

In this paper we characterize the unit disc, the bidisc and the symmetrized bidisc \[ G =\{(z+w,zw):|z|<1,\ |w|<1\} \] in terms of the possession of small classes of analytic maps into the unit disc that suffice to solve all Carath\'eodory…

We study two variations of the classical one-delta problem for entire functions of exponential type, known also as the Carath\'eodory--Fej\'er--Tur\'an problem. The first variation imposes the additional requirement that the function is…

We study the role of Carath\'eodory extremal functions in the Schur-Agler class generated by a collection of test functions. We show that under certain conditions, $\mathbb{D}$ and $\mathbb{D}^2$ are the only domains where finitely many…

Uniqueness of positive solutions to viscous Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations of the form $-\Delta u(x) + \frac{1}{\gamma} |D{u}(x)|^\gamma = f(x) - \lambda$, with $f$ a coercive function and $\lambda$ a constant, in the subquadratic…

We show uniqueness for overdetermined elliptic problems defined on topological disks $\Omega$ with $C^2$ boundary, i.e., positive solutions $u$ to $\Delta u + f(u)=0$ in $\Omega \subset (M^2,g)$ so that $u = 0$ and $\frac{\partial…

The Carath\'{e}odory problem in the $N$-variable non-commutative Herglotz--Agler class and the Carath\'{e}odory--Fej\'{e}r problem in the $N$-variable non-commutative Schur--Agler class are posed. It is shown that the Carath\'{e}odory…

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function $\varphi$ in the Schur-Agler class of the polydisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investigation of boundary behavior of $\varphi$ at a mild…

We prove uniqueness in the inverse conductivity problem for uniformly elliptic conductivities in $W^{s,p}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ is Lipschitz, $3\leq n \leq 6$, and $s$ and $p$ are such that $ W^{s,p}(\Omega)\not…

Let P be a selfadjoint elliptic operator of order m>0 acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. General arguments show that its zeta and eta functions may have poles only at…

In a recent preprint, we showed that for the Dirichlet Laplacian $\Delta$ on the unit disk, the wave trace ${Tr}(e^{it\sqrt{\Delta}})$, which has complicated singularities on $2\pi - \epsilon < t < 2\pi$, is, on the interval $2\pi < t <…
