Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…

We consider singular perturbations of eigenvalue problems. We prove that to these problems correspond simple eigenvalues and we study their asymptotic behavior. As a result, we prove global bifurcation results for non uniformly and fully…
We examine homogeneous metrics on spheres and determine which ones have positive sectional curvature. The answer is subtle and surprisingly difficult to prove. In some cases we also determine their pinching constants. This completes the…
This paper deals with existence and regularity of positive solutions of singular elliptic problems on a smooth bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions involving the $\Phi$-Laplacian operator. The proof of existence is based on a…
The paper concerns with positive solutions of problems of the type $-\Delta u+a(x)\, u=u^{p-1}+\varepsilon u^{2^*-1}$ in $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\ge 3$, $2^*={2N\over N-2}$, $2<p<2^*$. Here $\Omega$ can be an exterior domain, i.e.…
For the spatial generalized $N$-centre problem $$ \ddot{x} = -\sum_{i=1}^{N} \frac{m_i (x - c_i)}{\vert x - c_i \vert^{\alpha+2}},\qquad x \in \mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{c_1,\dots,c_N \}, $$ where $m_i > 0$ and $\alpha \in [1,2)$, we prove…

We consider a generalisation of the p+ip pairing Hamiltonian with external interaction terms. These terms allow for the exchange of particles between the system and its environment. As a result the u(1) symmetry associated with conservation…
We provide a-priori $L^\infty$ bounds for positive solutions to a class of subcritical elliptic problems in bounded $C^2$ domains. Our arguments rely on the moving planes method applied on the Kelvin transform of solutions. We prove that…
We show that the number of solutions of a double singularly perturbed Schroedinger Maxwell system on a smooth bounded domain A depends on the topological properties of the domain. In particular if A is non contractible we obtain cat(A) + 1…
