We consider the "moment vanishing problem" for a general class of piecewise-analytic functions which satisfy on each continuity interval a linear ODE with polynomial coefficients. This problem, which essentially asks how many zero first…

In this paper we investigate a time dependent family of plane closed Jordan curves evolving in the normal direction with a velocity which is assumed to be a function of the curvature, tangential angle and position vector of a curve. We…

We investigate the boundedness of solutions of the first order linear difference equation of the form $x_{n+1} = Ax_{n} + y_{n}, \; n \geq 1$ where $A$ is a square matrix with complex entries, sequence $\{y_{n}\}_{n\geq 1}$ and initial…

The general entire solution to a linear system of moment differential equations is obtained in terms of a moment kernel function for generalized summability, and the Jordan decomposition of the matrix defining the problem. The growth at…

We obtain the generic real Jordan canonical forms for $n\times n$ matrices with real entries. More precisely, we prove that the set of $n\times n$ real matrices is the union of the closures of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor+1$ sets, which are called…

We initiate the study of modules of constant Jordan type for quantum complete intersections, and prove a range of basic properties. We then show that for these algebras, constant Jordan type is an invariant of Auslander-Reiten components.…

In this paper we establish asymptotic results for Christoffel functions with respect to measures supported on Jordan curves having a Radon-Nikodym derivative with a jump singularity. We extend the results known for measures supported in the…

We complete the enumeration of the possible roots of the Alexander polynomial (both conventional and over finite fields) of a trigonal curve. The curves are not assumed proper or irreducible.

A class of curves with special conformal properties (conformal curves) is studied on the Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetime. It is shown that initial data for the conformal curves can be prescribed so that the resulting congruence of curves…

A self-avoiding plane-filling curve cannot be periodic, but we show that it can satisfy the local isomorphism property. We investigate three families of coverings of the plane by finite sets of nonoverlapping self-avoiding curves which…

Working over imperfect fields, we give a comprehensive classification of genus-one curves that are regular but not geometrically regular, extending the known case of geometrically reduced curves. The description is given intrinsically, in…

Let P^2_r be the projective plane blown up at r generic points. Denote by E_0,E_1,...,E_r the strict transform of a generic straight line on P^2 and the exceptional divisors of the blown-up points on P^2_r respectively. We consider the…

We define a plane curve to be threadable if it can rigidly pass through a point-hole in a line L without otherwise touching L. Threadable curves are in a sense generalizations of monotone curves. We have two main results. The first is a…

The problem of algebraic dependence of solutions to (non-linear) first order autonomous equations over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is given a `complete' answer, obtained independently of model theoretic results on…

We study a one-dimensional ordinary differential equation modelling optical conveyor belts, showing in particular cases of physical interest that periodic solutions exist. Moreover, under rather general assumptions it is proved that the set…

Using continuation methods and bifurcation theory, we study the exact multiplicity of periodic solutions, and the global solution structure, for periodic problems of first order. The results are applied to a population model with fishing,…

We solve the local equivalence problem for second order (smooth or analytic) ordinary differential equations. We do so by presenting a {\em complete convergent normal form} for this class of ODEs. The normal form is optimal in the sense…

We discuss the eigenvalue problem for 3x3 octonionic Hermitian matrices which is relevant to the Jordan formulation of quantum mechanics. In contrast to the eigenvalue problems considered in our previous work, all eigenvalues are real and…

A recent work by the authors on the existence of a periodic smooth finite-dimensional center manifold near a nonhyperbolic cycle in delay differential equations motivates the derivation of periodic normal forms. In this paper, we prove the…

For a Jordan domain in the plane the length metric space of points connected to an interior point by a curve of finite length is a CAT(0)space and Gromov hyperbolic. With respect to the cone topology, that space plus its boundary at…
