In this note we will describe a simple and practical approach to get rigorous bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of limits sets for some one dimensional Markov iterated function schemes. The general problem has attracted considerable…
We construct a four-parameter family of Markov processes on infinite Gelfand-Tsetlin schemes that preserve the class of central (Gibbs) measures. Any process in the family induces a Feller Markov process on the infinite-dimensional boundary…
We use algebraic methods to compute the simple Hurwitz numbers for arbitrary source and target Riemann surfaces. For an elliptic curve target, we reproduce the results previously obtained by string theorists. Motivated by the Gromov-Witten…
We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain, Gamburd, and Sarnak on strong approximation for the Markoff surface $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 3xyz$ modulo primes. For primes congruent to 3 modulo 4, we find data suggesting that some…
In this paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff problem $$ \left\{\aligned -\bigg(a+b\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2dx\bigg)\Delta u&= \lambda u^{q-1} + \mu u^{2^*-1}, &\quad \text{in }\Omega, \\ u&>0,&\quad\text{in }\Omega,\\…
We prove several types of Courant nodal domain theorems for generalized Laplacians on graphs, based on an invariant introduced by Urschel, which we call the "Urschel number", denoted ${\rm UN}({\bf f})$, of an eigenvector ${\bf f}$. We…
We study the fixed point for a non-linear transformation in the set of Hausdorff moment sequences, defined by the formula: $T((a_n))_n=1/(a_0+... +a_n)$. We determine the corresponding measure $\mu$, which has an increasing and convex…
A central result of Sturm-Liouville theory (also called the Sturm-Hurwitz Theorem) states that if $\phi_k$ is a sequence of eigenfunctions of a second order differential operator on the interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$, then any linear…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the number of zeroes of linear combinations of Schr\"odinger eigenfunctions on metric (quantum) graphs. These bounds are distinct from both the interval and manifolds. We complement these bounds by giving…
We express some general type of infinite series such as $$ \sum^\infty_{n=1}\frac{F(H_n^{(m)}(z),H_n^{(2m)}(z),\ldots,H_n^{(\ell m)}(z))} {(n+z)^{s_1}(n+1+z)^{s_2}\cdots (n+k-1+z)^{s_k}}, $$ where $F(x_1,\ldots,x_\ell)\in\mathbb…
In this paper, we prove the identity $\dim_{\textrm H}(F)=d\cdot \dim_{\textrm H}(\alpha^{-1}(F))$, where $\dim_{\textrm H}$ denotes Hausdorff dimension, $F\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, and $\alpha:[0,1]\to [0,1]^d$ is a function whose…
In [18], fundamental solutions for the generalized bi-axially symmetric Helmholtz equation were constructed in $R_2^ + = \left\{ {\left( {x,y} \right):x > 0,y > 0} \right\}.$ They contain Kummer's confluent hypergeometric functions in three…
We build optimal exponential bounds for the probabilities of large deviations of sums \sum_{k=1}^nf(X_k) where (X_k) is a finite reversible Markov chain and f is an arbitrary bounded function. These bounds depend only on the stationary mean…
Working over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, this paper studies algebraic actions of $SL_2(k)$ on affine $k$-domains by defining and investigating fundamental pairs of derivations. There are three main results: (1) The Structure Theorem…
The complex Helmholtz equation $(\Delta + k^2)u=f$ (where $k\in{\mathbb R},u(\cdot),f(\cdot)\in{\mathbb C}$) is a mainstay of computational wave simulation. Despite its apparent simplicity, efficient numerical methods are challenging to…
In this paper, we study the following nonlinear Kirchhoff problem involving critical growth: $$ \left\{% \begin{array}{ll} -(a+b\int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^2dx)\Delta u=|u|^4u+\lambda|u|^{q-2}u, u=0\ \ \text{on}\ \ \partial\Omega, \end{array}%…
We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…
