In this paper we prove that the maximum principle in forcing is equivalent to the axiom of choice. The maximum principle is the property of forcing: p ||- exists x theta(x) iff for some name tau p ||- theta(tau). We also look at three…

It is proved in this paper that for any finite-dimensional nonsemisimple Hopf algebra $A$ there exists a Hopf algebra $H$ containing $A$ as a Hopf subalgebra such that $H$ is not flat over $A$. On the other hand, there is a class of…

Global existence of weak solutions to the Navier-Stokes equation in a cylindrical domain under the slip boundary conditions and with inflow and outflow was proved. To prove the energy estimate, crucial for the proof, we use the Hopf…

We introduce a new minimisation principle for Poisson equation using two variables: the solution and the gradient of the solution. This principle allows us to use any conforming finite element spaces for both variables, where the finite…

We study both existence and nonexistence of nonnegative solutions for nonlinear elliptic problems with singular lower order terms that have natural growth with respect to the gradient, whose model is $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u +…

We establish quantitative stability for the nonlocal Serrin overdetermined problem, via the method of the moving planes. Interestingly, our stability estimate is even better than those obtained so far in the classical setting (i.e., for the…

We prove the two theorems of the title, settling two long standing questions in the local theory of singular minimal hypersurfaces. The sharpness of either result is with respect to its hypothesis on the size of the allowable singular sets.…

For an optimal control problem, the concept of a strong local infimum is introduce, for which necessary conditions consisting of some family of "maximum principles" are formulated. If a function delivers a strong local minimum in this…
