We study the behavior of solutions for the parametric equation $$-\Delta_{p}^{a_1} u(z)-\Delta_{q}^{a_2} u(z)=\lambda |u(z)|^{q-2} u(z)+f(z,u(z)) \quad \mbox{in } \Omega,\, \lambda >0,$$ under Dirichlet condition, where $\Omega \subseteq…

In this paper we find a positive weak solution for a semipositone $p(\cdot )$- Laplacian problem. More precisely, we find a solution for the problem \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -\Delta _{p(\cdot )}u=f(u)-\lambda & \text{in }\Omega \\ u>0 &…

For a prime $p$, let $Z(p)$ be the smallest positive integer $n$ so that $p$ divides $F_{n}$, the $n$th term in the Fibonacci sequence. Paul Bruckman and Peter Anderson conjectured a formula for $\zeta(m)$, the density of primes $p$ for…

De Bruijn and Newman introduced a deformation of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$, and found a real constant $\Lambda$ which encodes the movement of the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ under the deformation. The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is…

It is a classical result of Mahler that for any rational number $\alpha$ > 1 which is not an integer and any real 0 < c < 1, the set of positive integers n such that $\alpha$ n < c n is necessarily finite. Here for any real x, x denotes the…

Let $Q$ be a set of primes with relative density $\delta$. We count integers in $[1,x]$ with prime factors all in $Q$ that also have a divisor in $(y,2y]$. We establish the order of magnitude for all $\delta \in (0,1]$. This generalizes the…

In this work we show that the prime distribution is deterministic. Indeed the set of prime numbers P can be expressed in terms of two subsets of N using three specific selection rules, acting on two sets of prime candidates. The prime…

Let $\alpha$ be a real number greater than $1$. We establish an effective lower bound for the distance between an integral power of $\alpha$ and its nearest integer.

Let $f(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $n \ge 1$ with real coefficients and let $X \ge 2$ and $\delta \ge 0$ be real numbers. Let $\|\cdot\|$ be the distance to the nearest integer. We obtain upper bounds for the number of solutions to the…

We examine Euclid's lemma that if $p$ is a prime number such that $p | ab$, then $p$ divides at least one of $a$ or $b$. Specifically, we consider the common misapplication of this lemma to numbers that are not prime, as is often made by…

We study the structure of solutions of the interior Bernoulli free boundary problem for $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ on an interval $D$ with parameter $\lambda > 0$. In particular, we show that there exists a constant $\lambda_{\alpha,D} > 0$…

We prove lower bounds for the number of primes $p \leq N + b$ such that $p-b$ is divisible by $2^{k(N)}$ and has at most $k$ odd prime factors ($k \geq 2$), assuming $2^{k(N)} \leq N^\theta$ for some $\theta > 0$ depending on $k$. The proof…

We study the probabilistic degree over reals of the OR function on $n$ variables. For an error parameter $\epsilon$ in (0,1/3), the $\epsilon$-error probabilistic degree of any Boolean function $f$ over reals is the smallest non-negative…

Given any collection F of computable functions over the reals, we show that there exists an algorithm that, given any L_F-sentence \varphi containing only bounded quantifiers, and any positive rational number \delta, decides either "\varphi…

In this work we study the existence of positive solution to the fractional quasilinear problem, $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} (-\Delta )^s u &=&\lambda \dfrac{u}{|x|^{2s}}+ |\nabla u|^{p}+ \mu f &\inn \Omega,\\ u&>&0 & \inn\Omega,\\ u&=&0…

The theta cycle of a modular form modulo a prime $p\geq 5$ is well understood. By contrast, the theta cycle modulo a power of $p$ is still mysterious and experimentally erratic. Here we completely determine the theta cycle of a weight $k <…

Let $L_{n}$ be the least common multiple of a random set of integers obtained from $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ by retaining each element with probability $\theta\in (0,1)$ independently of the others. We prove that the process $(\log L_{\lfloor…

Predicting the winner of an election is a favorite problem both for news media pundits and computational social choice theorists. Since it is often infeasible to elicit the preferences of all the voters in a typical prediction scenario, a…

We outline some simple prescriptions to define a distribution on the set $\mathbb{Q}_0$ of all the rational numbers in $[0,1]$, and we then explore both a few properties of these distributions, and the possibility of making these rational…

A real sequence $\Lambda = \{\lambda_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is called $p$-generating if there exists a function $g$ whose translates $\{g(x-\lambda_n)\}_{n=1}^\infty$ span the space $L^p(\mathbb{R})$. While the $p$-generating sets were…
