Let $<\P > \subset \N$ be a multiplicative subsemigroup of the natural numbers $\N = \{1,2,3,...\}$ generated by an arbitrary set $\P$ of primes (finite or infinite). We given an elementary proof that the partial sums $\sum_{n \in < \P >: n…
We prove that every odd number $N$ greater than 1 can be expressed as the sum of at most five primes, improving the result of Ramar\'e that every even natural number can be expressed as the sum of at most six primes. We follow the circle…
We extend the Matom\"{a}ki-Radziwi\l\l{} theorem to a large collection of unbounded multiplicative functions that are uniformly bounded, but not necessarily bounded by 1, on the primes. Our result allows us to estimate averages of such a…
We study Liouville-type theorem for polyharmonic H\'enon-Lane-Emden system $(-\Delta)^mu=|x|^av^p,\; (-\Delta)^mv=|x|^bu^q$ when $m,p,q\geq 1, pq\ne 1$, and $a,b\geq 0$. It is a natural conjecture that the nonexistence of positive solutions…
We study global convex solutions of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation \[ \det D^2 u = \mu \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n, \] where $\mu \not\equiv 0$ is a nonnegative locally finite periodic Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove a…
We prove Liouville theorem for the equation $\Delta v + N v^p + M |\nabla v|^{q}= 0$ in $\mathbb R^n$, with $M, N > 0, q = \frac{2p}{p + 1}$ in the critical and subcritical case. The proof is based on a differential identity and Young…
We study the triviality of the solutions of weighted superlinear heat equations on Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci tensor. We prove a Liouville--type theorem for solutions bounded from below with nonnegative initial data, under…
This article establishes existence, non-existence and Liouville-type theorems for nonlinear equations of the form $$-div (|x|^{a} D u ) = f(x,u), ~ u > 0,\, \mbox{ in } \Omega,$$ where $N \geq 3$, $\Omega$ is an open domain in…
We substantially apply the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis to hold. Based upon a series representation for the sequence \{\lambda_k\}, which are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity, we…
We investigate the H\'enon-Lane-Emden system defined by $- \Delta u=|x|^a |v|^{p-1}v$ and $- \Delta v=|x|^b |u|^{q-1}u$ in $\mathbb{R}^N \!\setminus\! \{0\}$. We begin by establishing a general Liouville-type theorem for the subcritical…
Let G be an additive abelian group whose finite subgroups are all cyclic. Let A_1,...,A_n (n>1) be finite subsets of G with cardinality k>0, and let b_1,...,b_n be pairwise distinct elements of G with odd order. We show that for every…
We study a multiplicative function analogue of Linnik's problem on the least prime in an arithmetic progression. Let $h\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}\setminus\{0\}$ be a multiplicative function, and let $a \pmod q$ be a reduced residue…
Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…
Consider the following nonlinear Neumann problem \[ \begin{cases} \text{div}\left(y^{a}\nabla u(x,y)\right)=0, & \text{for }(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n+1}\\ \lim_{y\rightarrow0+}y^{a}\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=-f(u), & \text{on…
We prove some new results which justify the use of interval truncation as a means of regularising a singular fourth order Sturm-Liouville problem near a singular endpoint. Of particular interest are the results in the so called lim-3 case,…
Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, $E$ a separable real Banach space and $p\geq 1$. Given a sequence of functions $f, f_1, f_2,...$ from $T\times E$ to ${\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we prove that, for each…
We prove $m$-dimensional symmetry results, that we call $m$-Liouville theorems, for stable and monotone solutions of the following nonuniformly elliptic equation \begin{eqnarray*}\label{mainequ} - div(\gamma(\mathbf x') \nabla u(\mathbf x))…
We use the large deviation approach to sum rules pioneered by Gamboa, Nagel and Rouault to prove higher order sum rules for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. In particular, we prove one half of a conjectured sum rule of Lukic in…
We approach a new proof of the strong Goldbach's conjecture for sufficiently large even integers by applying the Dirichlet's series. Using the Perron formula and the Residue Theorem in complex variable integration, one could show that any…
This paper is concerned with the constancy in the sign of $L(X, \alpha) = \sum_{1}^{X} \frac{\lambda(n)}{n^{\alpha}}$, where $\lambda(n)$ the Liouville function. The non-positivity of $L(X, 0)$ is the P\'{o}lya conjecture, and the…
