Assume that $X$ is a connected $(q+1)$-regular undirected graph of finite order $n$. Let $A$ denote the adjacency matrix of $X$. Let $\lambda_1=q+1>\lambda_2\geq \lambda_3\geq \ldots \geq \lambda_n$ denote the eigenvalues of $A$. The…

Let $u$ be a solution of $\Delta u=Vu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $V$ be continuous, nonnegative and bounded. We prove that the condition $$\int_{r_j\leq|x|\leq r_j+1}|u(x)|^2dx\to 0,$$ along any sequence $(r_j)$, $r_j\nearrow+\infty$,…

We develop a new simple approach to prove upper bounds for generalizations of the Heilbronn's triangle problem in higher dimensions. Among other things, we show the following: for fixed $d \ge 1$, any subset of $[0, 1]^d$ of size $n$…

We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a solution of $(-\Delta)^s u = g$ in $\Omega$, $u \equiv 0$ in $\R^n\setminus\Omega$, for some…

The celebrated Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle \Delta x \Delta p\ge \hbar/2 can allow measurement accuracies less than \Delta x or \Delta p. Classical analog of this is known as sub-Fourier sensitivity. We illustrate this phenomenon in a…

We study the following perturbation from symmetry problem for the semilinear subelliptic equation \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} -\triangle_{X} u=f(x,u)+g(x,u) & \mbox{in}~\Omega, \\[2mm] u\in H_{X,0}^{1}(\Omega),\hfill \end{array} \right. \]…

Let $1\le N<M$ with $N$ and $M$ coprime and square-free. Through classical analytic methods we estimate the first moment of central $L$-values $ L(1/2,f\times g) $ where $f\in S^*_k(N)$ runs over primitive holomorphic forms of level $N$ and…

In this paper we establish the boundedness of the extremal solution u^* in dimension N=4 of the semilinear elliptic equation $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$, in a general smooth bounded domain Omega of R^N, with Dirichlet data $u|_{\partial…

In this paper we work over $\Gamma_0(N)$, for any $N$ and write the spectral moment of a product of two distinct Rankin-Selberg convolutions at a general point on the critical line $\frac{1}{2}+it$ as a main term plus a sharp error term in…

What is the maximum number of $r$-term sums admitting rational values in $n$-element sets of irrational numbers? We determine the maximum when $r<4$ or $r\geq n/2$ and also in case when we drop the condition on the number of summands. It…

We study the extent to which divisors of a typical integer $n$ are concentrated. In particular, defining the Erd\H{o}s-Hooley $\Delta$-function by $\Delta(n) := \max_t \# \{d | n, \log d \in [t,t+1]\}$, we show that $\Delta(n) \geq (\log…

We consider the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \[ u_t = i \Delta u + | u |^\alpha u \quad \mbox{on ${\mathbb R}^N $, $\alpha>0$,} \] for $H^1$-subcritical or critical nonlinearities: $(N-2) \alpha \le 4$. Under the additional technical…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

We show that $$\bigg\|\sup_{0 < t < 1} \big|\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{2\pi i (n(\cdot) + n^2 t)}\big| \bigg\|_{L^{4}([0,1])} \leq C_{\epsilon} N^{3/4 + \epsilon}$$ and discuss some applications to the theory of large values of Weyl sums. This…

In semidefinite programming a proposed optimal solution may be quite poor in spite of having sufficiently small residual in the optimality conditions. This issue may be framed in terms of the discrepancy between forward error (the…

We introduce a max-plus analogue of the Petrov-Galerkin finite element method to solve finite horizon deterministic optimal control problems. The method relies on a max-plus variational formulation. We show that the error in the sup norm…

It was conjectured by M\textsuperscript{c}Kernan and Shokurov that for any Fano contraction $f:X \to Z$ of relative dimension $r$ with $X$ being $\epsilon$-lc, there is a positive $\delta$ depending only on $r,\epsilon$ such that $Z$ is…

The "hybrid" moments $$ \int_T^{2T}|\zeta(1/2+it)|^k{(\int_{t-G}^{t+G}|\zeta(1/2+ix)|^\ell dx)}^m dt $$ of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $\Re s = 1/2$ are studied. The expected upper bound for the above…

We consider the solution of the torsion problem $-\Delta u=1$ in $\Omega$ and $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega$. Serrin's celebrated symmetry theorem states that, if the normal derivative $u_\nu$ is constant on $\partial \Omega$, then $\Omega$…
