Comparison theorems are established for the Dirac and Klein--Gordon equations. We suppose that V^{(1)}(r) and V^{(2)}(r) are two real attractive central potentials in d dimensions that support discrete Dirac eigenvalues E^{(1)}_{k_d\nu} and…

In this note, we give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the comparison theorem holds for multidimensional stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with jumps and for matrix-valued SDEs with jumps.

In this work, we establish a comparison principle for stochastic Volterra equations with respect to the initial condition and the drift $b$ applicable to a wide class of Volterra kernels and input curves $g$ that may be singular at zero.…

In this paper, we will prove a zero comparison theorem of Sturm-Liouville type for linearized harmonic heat flow for rotational symmetric solutions.

We develop an analog of classical oscillation theory for Sturm-Liouville operators which, rather than measuring the spectrum of one single operator, measures the difference between the spectra of two different operators. This is done by…

We construct an entire function $f$ with only three singular values whose order of growth can change under a quasiconformal equivalence. This is a counterexample to the Order Conjecture in the Speiser class ${\mathcal S}$ of entire…

The classic comparison theorem of quantum mechanics states that if two potentials are ordered then the corresponding energy eigenvalues are similarly ordered, that is to say if $V_a\le V_b$, then $E_a\le E_b$. Such theorems have recently…

We prove a converse theorem for split even special orthogonal groups over finite fields. This is the only case left on converse theorems of split classical groups and the difficulty is the existence of the outer automorphism. In this paper,…

Linear stochastic transitivity is a central assumption in paired comparison models that is rarely verified in practice. Empirical violations, however, are common and can substantially affect inference and ranking. We develop a class of…

It will be shown that the Stone-Weierstrass theorem for Clifford-valued functions is true for the case of even dimension. It remains valid for the odd dimension if we add a stability condition by principal automorphism.

The classical Sturm-Hurwitz-Kellogg theorem asserts that a function, orthogonal to an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle, has at least n+1 sign changes. We prove the converse: given an n-dimensional Chebyshev system on a circle and…

In this work, we show that Spearman's correlation coefficient test about $H_0:\rho_s=0$ found in most statistical software packages is theoretically incorrect and performs poorly when bivariate normality assumptions are not met or the…

We give two congruence properties of Hermitian modular forms of degree 2 over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$. The one is a congruence criterion for Hermitian modular forms which is generalization of Sturm's theorem.…

Motivated by recent questions about the extension of Courant's nodal domain theorem, we revisit a theorem published by C. Sturm in 1836, which deals with zeros of linear combination of eigenfunctions of Sturm-Liouville problems. Although…

In a large class of chiral gauge theories in four dimensions it was found that certain natural assumption about the bifermion condensates leads to the infrared effective theory where the 't Hooft anomaly matching conditions are satisfied in…

In this paper we propose a counterexample to the validity of the Comparison Principle and of the Sub and Supersolution Method for nonlocal problems like the stationary Kirchhoff Equation. This counterexample shows that in general smooth…

This paper continues the investigation begun in arXiv:1906.05602 of extending the T1 theorem of David and Journ\'e, and optimal cancellation conditions, to more general weight pairs. The main additional tool developed here is a two weight…

We prove a central limit theorem for the normalized overlap between two replicas in the spherical SK model in the high temperature phase. The convergence holds almost surely with respect to the disorder variables, and the inverse…

Under integral restrictions on dilatations, it is proved existence theorems for the degenerate Beltrami equations with two characteristics and, in particular, to the Beltrami equations of the second type that play a great role in many…

The zeros of the eigenfunctions of self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems interlace. For these problems interlacing is crucial for completeness. For the complex Sturm-Liouville problem associated with the Schrodinger equation for…
