We use variational methods to study the existence of nontrivial and radially symmetric solutions to the H\`enon-Lane-Emden system with weights, when the exponents involved lie on the "critical hyperbola". We also discuss qualitative…
Some problems of statistics can be reduced to extremal problems of minimizing functionals of smooth functions defined on the cube $[0,1]^m$, $m\geq 2$. In this paper, we study a class of extremal problems that is closely connected to the…
Consider the positive, radial solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation $\Delta^2 u = u^p$. There is a critical power $p_c$ such that solutions are linearly stable if and only if $p\geq p_c$. We obtain their asymptotic expansion at…
We consider positive one-dimensional solutions of a Lane-Emden relative Dirichlet problem in a cylinder and study their stability/instability properties as the energy varies with respect to domain perturbations. This depends on the exponent…
We prove new symmetry results for the extremals of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities in any dimension larger or equal than 2, in a range of parameters for which no explicit results of symmetry were previously known.
The problem of integer partitions is addressed using the microcanonical approach which is based on the analogy between this problem in the number theory and the calculation of microstates of a many-boson system. For ordinary…

The Euler equations of ideal gas dynamics posess a remarkable nonlinear involutional symmetry which allows one to factor out an arbitrary uniform expansion or contraction of the system. The nature of this symmetry (called by cosmologists…
In this paper we give the first result about the precise symmetry and symmetry breaking regions of extremal functions for weighted second-order inequalities. Firstly, based on the work of C.-S. Lin [Comm. Partial Differential Equations,…

We conjecture that the asymptotic behavior of the numbers of solid (three-dimensional) partitions is identical to the asymptotics of the three-dimensional MacMahon numbers. Evidence is provided by an exact enumeration of solid partitions of…
The irreducible decomposition of a unitary representation often contains continuous spectrum when restricted to a non-compact subgroup. The author singles out a nice class of branching problems where each irreducible summand occurs…

We investigate the structure of branching asymptotics appearing in solutions to elliptic edge problems. The exponents in powers of the half-axis variable, logarithmic terms, and coefficients depend on the variables on the edge and may be…

We analyze the general problem of determining optimally dense packings, in a Euclidean or hyperbolic space, of congruent copies of some fixed finite set of bodies. We are strongly guided by examples of aperiodic tilings in Euclidean space…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the ratio $|f(z)|/|z|$ as $z\to 0$ for mappings differentiable a.e. in the unit disc with non-degenerated Jacobian. The main tools involve the length-area functionals and angular dilatations depending on…
We study the mathematical properties of a model of cell division structured by two variables, the size and the size increment, in the case of a linear growth rate and a self-similar fragmentation kernel. We first show that one can construct…
