For a class of oscillatory resonant problems, involving Dirichlet problems for semilinear PDE's on balls and rectangles in $R^n$, we show the existence of infinitely many solutions, and study the global solution set. The first harmonic of…

The best known upper estimates for the constants of the Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell_{p}$ spaces are of the form $\left(\sqrt{2}\right) ^{m-1}.$ We present better estimates which depend on $p$ and $m$. An…
