We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in integers x_1,...,x_n, then each such solution (x_1,...,x_n) satisfies |x_1|,...,|x_n| \leq…
The purpose of this article is threefold. First, it provides the reader with a few useful and efficient tools which should enable her/him to evaluate nontrivial determinants for the case such a determinant should appear in her/his research.…
In the literature two notions of the word problem for a variety occur. A variety has a decidable word problem if every finitely presented algebra in the variety has a decidable word problem. It has a uniformly decidable word problem if…
An algebraic condition for the singularity of certain T\"oplitz matrix pencils is derived which involves only the principal minors of the constant parts of the pencils. This leads to an algebraic conjecture which is equivalent to the…
We prove the uniqueness of the infinite length axisymmetric solution to the capillary equation. We observe that capillary equation can be viewed, at large depth, as a perturbation of an integrable two-dimensional differential system.…
In this work we establish existence and multiplicity of solutions for elliptic problem with nonlinear boundary conditions under strong resonance conditions at infinity. The nonlinearity is resonance at infinity and the reso- nance phenomena…
We show that the Schubert calculus of enumerative geometry is real, for special Schubert conditions. That is, for any such enumerative problem, there exist real conditions for which all the a priori complex solutions are real.
Below, the explicit solution to a certain finite-difference equation is given and the required steps for derivation of these results are outlined. Everything is included as Mathematica formulae, so the notebook itself can be used for…
New cases of the multiplicity conjecture are considered.
We study a one-dimensional ordinary differential equation modelling optical conveyor belts, showing in particular cases of physical interest that periodic solutions exist. Moreover, under rather general assumptions it is proved that the set…
In this note, we present a conjecture on intersections of set families, and a rephrasing of the conjecture in terms of principal downsets of Boolean lattices. The conjecture informally states that, whenever we can express the measure of a…
We show that solutions of the Bach equation exist which are not conformal Einstein spaces.
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^n$ elements. In this paper, we study the number of solutions of equations of the form $a_1 x_1^{d_1}+\dots+a_s x_s^{d_s}=b$ with $x_i\in\mathbb{F}_{p^{t_i}}$, where $b\in\mathbb{F}_q$ and…
Using a method developped in [1] and [2], we prove the existence of weak non trivial solutions to fourth order elliptic equations with singularities and with critical Sobolev growth.
We study a boundary value elliptic problem having a lower order nonlinear term with subquadratic growth in the gradient of the solution and possibly singular when the solution vanishes. If the singularity is mild enough (and even in the…
We show that there are arbitrarily large sets $S$ of $s$ primes for which the number of solutions to $a+1=c$ where all prime factors of $ac$ lie in $S$ has $\gg \exp( s^{1/4}/\log s)$ solutions.
De Finetti's betting argument is used to justify finitely additive probabilities when only finitely many bets are considered. Under what circumstances can countably many bets be used to justify countable additivity? In this framework, one…
The generally accepted wisdom in computational circles is that pure proof verification is a solved problem and that the computationally hard elements and fertile areas of study lie in proof discovery. This wisdom presumably does hold for…
We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions to an elliptic problem by borrowing the techniques from algebraic topology. The solution(s) thus obtained will also be proved to be bounded.
Existence of a generalized solution to a strongly singular convective elliptic equation in the whole space is established. The differential operator, patterned after the (p,q)-Laplacian, can be non-homogeneous. The result is obtained by…
