It has been recently discovered that a convex function can be determined by its slopes and its infimum value, provided this latter is finite. The result was extended to nonconvex functions by replacing the infimum value by the set of all…

Motivated by the recent proof of Newman's conjecture \cite{R-T} we study certain properties of entire caloric functions, namely solutions of the heat equation $\partial_t F = \partial_z^2 F$ which are entire in $z$ and $t$. As a…

In this paper we prove the existence of a positive solution of the nonlinear and nonlocal elliptic equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ \[ (-\Delta)^s u =\varepsilon h u^q+u^{2_s^*-1} \] in the convex case $1\leq q<2_s^*-1$, where $…

The exact form of the kinetic energy functional has remained elusive in orbital-free models of density functional theory (DFT). This has been the main stumbling block for the development of a general-purpose framework on this basis. Here,…

We investigate the existence of local holomorphic solutions $Y$ of linear partial differential equations in three complex variables whose coefficients are singular along an analytic variety $\Theta$ in $\mathbb{C}^{2}$. The coefficients are…

We introduce a technique to obtain pointwise upper and lower bounds for the Green's function of elliptic operators whose principal part is the Laplacian and that include a drift term diverging near the boundary like a power of the inverse…

In this paper, a new proof of the Positive Mass Theorem is established through a newly discovered monotonicity formula, holding along the level sets of the Green's function of an asymptotically flat $3$-manifold. In the same context and for…

We develop novel variational methods for solving scaled equations that do not have the mountain pass geometry, classical linking geometry based on linear subspaces, or $\mathbb Z_2$ symmetry, and therefore cannot be solved using classical…

We survey methods and results of fractional differential equations in which an unknown function is under the operation of integration and/or differentiation of fractional order. As an illustrative example, we review results on fractional…

In this paper, making use of Theorem 2 of [5], we establish a new four critical points theorem which can be regarded as a companion to Theorem 1 of [4]. We also present an application to the Dirichlet problem for a class of quasilinear…

Structure and properties of families of critical points for classes of functions $W(z,\bar{z})$ obeying the elliptic Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation $E(1/2,1/2)$ are studied. General variational and differential equations governing the…

We consider a slightly subcritical Dirichlet problem with a non-power nonlinearity in a bounded smooth domain. For this problem, standard compact embeddings cannot be used to guarantee the existence of solutions as in the case of power-type…

We show that the Riemann zeta function \zeta\ has only countably many self-intersections on the critical line, i.e., for all but countably many z in C the equation \zeta(1/2+it)=z has at most one solution t in R. More generally, we prove…

Opposing to a (common) belief against the existence of a thermodynamic-like potential for the KPZ equation, here we present a derivation for such a functional. With its knowledge we prove some global shift invariance properties previously…
