We characterize the limiting behavior of partial sums of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{F}_q[t]\to S^1$. In contrast to the number field setting, the characterization depends crucially on whether the notion of discrepancy is defined…

Let $s\in (0,1)$, $\varepsilon>0$ and let $\Omega$ be a bounded smooth domain. Given the problem $$\varepsilon^{2s}(-\Delta)^{s} u + V(x)u = |u|^{p-1}u \quad \mbox{in }\; \Omega,$$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions and $1<p<(n+2s)/(n-2s)$,…

We show that for any sequence $f: {\bf N} \to \{-1,+1\}$ taking values in $\{-1,+1\}$, the discrepancy $$ \sup_{n,d \in {\bf N}} \left|\sum_{j=1}^n f(jd)\right| $$ of $f$ is infinite. This answers a question of Erd\H{o}s. In fact the…

We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…

We construct positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic problem $\Delta u+ \lambda u + u^p = 0$ with Dirichet boundary conditions, in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega \subset \R^N$ $(N\geq 4)$, when the exponent $p$ is supercritical and…

We introduce the theory of div point sets, which aims to provide a framework to study the combinatoric nature of any set of points in general position on an Euclidean plane. We then show that proving the unsatisfiability of some first-order…

Let $\mathcal S^2$ be the Stepanov space and let $ \lambda_n\uparrow\infty$. Let $(a_n)_{n\ge 1}$ be satisfying Wiener's condition $A:= \sum_{n\ge 1} \big(\sum_{k\, :\, n\le \lambda_k \le n+1}|a_k|\big)^2 <\infty$. We prove that $\big\|…

Motivated by studies of indirect measurements in quantum mechanics, we investigate stochastic differential equations with a fixed point subject to an additional infinitesimal repulsive perturbation. We conjecture, and prove for an important…

Disproving a conjecture of Bleicher and Erd\H{o}s, we show that there exists a lacunary sequence of positive integers such that finite sums of reciprocals of its terms attain all rational numbers from a non-empty open interval. We also…

We prove a result of existence of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for $-\Delta_p u=\mathrm{w}(x)f(u,\nabla u)$ in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, where $\Delta_p$ is the $p$-Laplacian and $\mathrm{w}$ is a weight…

We consider SDEs with bounded and $\alpha$-H\"older continuous drift, with $\alpha \in (0,1)$, driven by multiplicative noise. We show that under sufficient conditions on the diffusion matrix, which guarantee the existence of a unique…

We study a finite form of the classical interval discrepancy problem. Starting from the unit interval, one repeatedly splits an existing interval into two until $n$ intervals have been produced. The discrepancy of such a process is the…

In this paper we show that the number of radial positive solutions of the following critical problem $$ \Delta_p u(x) + \lambda K(|x|) \,u(x) \, |u(x)|^{q-2} =0\,,$$ $$ u(x)>0 \quad |x|<1,$$ $$ u(x)=0 \quad |x|=1,$$ where $q=…

We show optimal existence, nonexistence and regularity results for nonnegative solutions to Dirichlet problems as $$ \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta_1 u = g(u)|D u|+h(u)f & \text{in}\;\Omega,\\ u=0 & \text{on}\;\partial\Omega,…

The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…
