Lagrangian formalism is established for differential equations with special functions of mathematical physics as solutions. Formalism is based on either standard or non-standard Lagrangians. This work shows that the procedure of deriving…

In this paper, we point out a very flexible scheme within which a strict minimax inequality occurs. We then show the fruitfulness of this approach presenting a series of various consequences. Here is one of them: Let $Y$ be a…

We construct a function that lies in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^d)$ for every $p \in (1,\infty]$ and whose Fourier transform has no Lebesgue points in a Cantor set of full Hausdorff dimension. We apply Kova\v{c}'s maximal restriction principle to show…

We study a combination of the refracted and reflected L\'evy processes. Given a spectrally negative L\'evy process and two boundaries, it is reflected at the lower boundary while, whenever it is above the upper boundary, a linear drift at a…

We analyze the topological structure of the Nehari set for a class of functionals depending on a real parameter $\lambda$, and having two degrees of homogeneity. A special attention is paid to the extremal parameter $\lambda^*$, which is…

A one-by-one exhaustion is a combinatorial/geometric condition which excludes eigenvalues from the spectra of Laplace and Schr\"odinger operators on graphs. Isoperimetric inequalities in graphs with a cocompact automorphism group provide an…

Let A and B be arbitrary sets with at least two elements. The arity gap of a function f: A^n \to B is the minimum decrease in its essential arity when essential arguments of f are identified. In this paper we study the arity gap of…

We consider the functional $\int_\Omega g(\nabla u+\textbf X^\ast)d\mathscr L^{2n}$ where $g$ is convex and $\textbf X^\ast(x,y)=2(-y,x)$ and we study the minimizers in $BV(\Omega)$ of the associated Dirichlet problem. We prove that, under…

For a L\'evy process $X$ on a finite time interval consider the probability that it exceeds some fixed threshold $x>0$ while staying below $x$ at the points of a regular grid. We establish exact asymptotic behavior of this probability as…

Let $ T_{P } f (x) = \int e ^{i P (y)} K (y) f (x-y) \; dy $, where $ K (y)$ is a smooth Calder\'on-Zygmund kernel on $ \mathbb R ^{n}$, and $ P$ be a polynomial. We show that there is a sparse bound for the bilinear form $ \langle T_P f, g…

This paper is part of the radial asymptotic stability analysis of the ground state soliton for either the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger or Klein-Gordon equations in three dimensions. We demonstrate by a rigorous method that the linearized…

Consider a centred random walk in dimension one with a positive finite variance $\sigma^2$, and let $\tau_B$ be the hitting time for a bounded Borel set $B$ with a non-empty interior. We prove the asymptotic $P_x(\tau_B > n) \sim \sqrt{2 /…

An obvious way to simulate a L\'evy process $X$ is to sample its increments over time $1/n$, thus constructing an approximating random walk $X^{(n)}$. This paper considers the error of such approximation after the two-sided reflection map…

Let $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$ be a probability space and $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ the algebra of equivalence classes of real-valued random variables on $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$. When $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ is endowed with the topology of convergence in…

A theorem of Hoffman gives an upper bound on the independence ratio of regular graphs in terms of the minimum $\lambda_{\min}$ of the spectrum of the adjacency matrix. To complement this result we use random eigenvectors to gain lower…
