The paper deals with singular Sturm-Liouville expressions with matrix-valued distributional coefficients. Due to a suitable regularization, the corresponding operators are correctly defined as quasi-differentials. Their resolvent…
Newton's potential of a massive homogeneous ellipsoid is derived via Dirichlet's discontinuous factor. At first we review part of Dirichlet's work in an English translation of the original German, and then continue with an extension of his…
The derivative expansion of the one-loop effective action in QED$_3$ and QED$_4$ is considered. The first term in such an expansion is the effective action for a constant electromagnetic field. An explicit expression for the next term…
We prove necessary optimality conditions, in the class of continuous functions, for variational problems defined with Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. The fractional basic problem of the calculus of variations with free…
We use a generalised real-time path formalism with properly regularised propagators based on Le Bellac and Mabilat \cite{belmab} and calculate the effective potential and the higher order derivative terms of the effective action in the case…
We consider the fractional elliptic inequality with variable-exponent nonlinearity $$ (-\Delta)^{\frac{\alpha}{2}} u+\lambda\, \Delta u \geq |u|^{p(x)}, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^N, $$ where $N\geq 1$, $\alpha\in (0,2)$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$…

In this paper we classify M\"{o}bius invariant differential operators of second order in two dimensional Euclidean space, and establish a Liouville type theorem for general M\"{o}bius invariant elliptic equations.
We show a formal result of the longitudinal force acting on a moving potential. The potential can be velocity-dependent, which appears in various interesting physical systems, such as electrons in the presence of a magnetic flux-line, or…
Leibniz's rule for the $n$-th derivative of a product is a very well known and extremely useful formula. In this article, we introduce an analogous explicit formula for the $n$-th derivative of a quotient of two functions. Later, we use…
The gauge parameter dependence of the effective potential is determined by partial differential equations involving also the Higgs boson field expectation value. Solving these equations by the method of characteristics leads to complete…
Using the exact path integral solution for the damped harmonic oscillator it is shown that in general there does not exist an exact dissipative Liouville operator describing the dynamics of the oscillator for arbitrary initial bath…
The Liouville theorem states that classical time evolution is an incompressible flow in phase space. We investigate two formulations of classical mechanics in which this property is manifested. First, the traditional Hamilton-Jacobi theory…
We establish a Liouville type theorem for the fractional Lane-Emden system: \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{\begin{array}{l@{\quad }l} (-\Delta)^\alpha u=v^q&{\rm in}\,\,\R^N,\\ (-\Delta)^\alpha v=u^p&{\rm in}\,\,\R^N, \end{array} \right.…
In this note, we derive an elementary version of the coarea formula by considering the mass of a solid body with density $g (x)$. Then we present an rigorous proof using the changing variable formula. To this end we construct the…
We establish Liouville type theorems in the whole space and in a half-space for parabolic problems without scale invariance. To this end, we employ two methods, respectively based on the corresponding elliptic Liouville type theorems and…
In this paper, we consider forward and inverse problems for subdiffusion equations with time-dependent coefficients. The fractional derivative is taken in the sense of Riemann-Liouville. Using the classical Fourier method, the theorem of…
In this paper, we focus on statistical region-based active contour models where image features (e.g. intensity) are random variables whose distribution belongs to some parametric family (e.g. exponential) rather than confining ourselves to…
We calculate the effective potential of the scalar theory at finite temperature under the super-daisy approximation, after expressing its derivative with respect to mass square in terms of the full propagator. This expression becomes the…
In the paper, we first prove a sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis which involves the order of magnitude of the partial sum of the Liouville function. Then we show a formula which is curiously related to the proved sufficient…
