The linear conditional expectation (LCE) provides a best linear (or rather, affine) estimate of the conditional expectation and hence plays an important r\^ole in approximate Bayesian inference, especially the Bayes linear approach. This…

We consider a Dirichlet type problem for a nonlinear, nonlocal equation driven by the degenerate fractional p-Laplacian, with a logistic type reaction depending on a positive parameter. In the subdiffusive and equidiffusive cases, we prove…

Assuming the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions, we establish that the least prime $p\equiv a\pmod{q}$ satisfies $p\ll_{\varepsilon} q^{2+\varepsilon}$. This achieves a bound that nearly matches the classical…

We consider a parabolic partial differential equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions and measure or $L^1$ data. The key difficulty consists in a presence of a monotone operator~$A$ subjected to a non-standard growth condition,…
