We study the existence of subharmonic solutions in the system $\ddot {u}(t)=f(t,u(t))$, where $u(t)\in\mathbb{R}^{k}$ and $f$ is an even and $p$-periodic function in time. Under some additional symmetry conditions on the function $f$, the…
There exists an exponentially decreasing function $f$ such that any singly $2\pi$-periodic positive solution $u$ of $-\Delta u +u-u^p=0$ in $[0,2\pi]\times \R^{N-1}$ verifies $u(x_1,x')\leq f(|x'|)$. We prove that with the same period and…
We prove that if the signed binomial coefficient $(-1)^i\binom{k}{i}$ viewed modulo p is a periodic function of i with period h prime to p in the range $0\le i\le k$, then k+1 is a power of p, provided h is not too large compared to k. (In…
Let A:D(A)\to E be an infinitesimal generator either of an analytic compact semigroup or of a contractive C_0-semigroup of linear operators acting in a Banach space E. In this paper we give both necessary and sufficient conditions for…
