Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be irrational real numbers and $0<\F<1/30$. We prove a precise estimate for the number of positive integers $q\leq Q$ that satisfy $\|q\alpha\|\cdot\|q\beta\|<\F$. If we choose $\F$ as a function of $Q$ we get…

We consider the second order semilinear elliptic system $\Delta u= p\left( x\right) v^\alpha,$ $\Delta v= q\left(x\right) u^\beta,$ where $x \in \mathbf{R}^N,$ $N \geq 3,$ $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are positive constants, $p$ and $q$ are…

We prove that, for any real $\lambda$, the system $-\Delta u +\lambda u = u^3-\beta uv^2$, $ -\Delta v+\lambda v =v^3-\beta vu^2$, $ u,v\in H^1_0(\Omega),$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth domain of $R^3$, admits a bounded family of…

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between positive definite functions on the unit sphere $\sph$ and on the Euclidean space $\RR^d$. For the dimension $d$ to be odd, a new technique is developed to establish the inheritance of…

In 2012, Y.Y. Li and C.-S. Lin (Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 203(3): 943-968) posed an open problem concerning the existence of positive solutions to the elliptic equation $$ \begin{cases} -\Delta u = -\lambda |x|^{-s_1}|u|^{p-2}u +…

We consider the positive solutions for the nonlocal Choquard equation $- \Delta u + u - (|\cdot|^{-\alpha} * |u|^p) |u|^{p-2} u = 0$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Compared with ground states, positive solutions form a larger class of solutions and…

We review Schoenberg's characterization of totally positive functions and its connection to the Laguerre-Polya class. This characterization yields a new condition that is equivalent to the truth of the Riemann hypothesis.

We show that, for all positive integers $n_1, \ldots, n_m$, $n_{m+1}=n_1$, and any non-negative integers $j$ and $r$ with $j\leqslant m$, the expression $$ \frac{1}{[n_1]}{n_1+n_{m}\brack n_1}^{-1}…

In this paper, we prove uniqueness and nondegeneracy of positive solutions to the following Kirchhoff equations with critical growth \begin{eqnarray*} -\left(a+b\int_{\mathbb{R}^{3}}|\nabla u|^{2}\right)\Delta u=u^{5}, & u>0 & \text{in…

We investigate the existence of a curve $q\mapsto u_{q}$, with $q\in(0,1)$, of positive solutions for the problem $(P_{a,q})$: $-\Delta u=a(x)u^{q}$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded and smooth domain of…

We study positive solutions of equation (E) $-\Delta u + u^p|\nabla u|^q= 0$ ($0<p$, $0\leq q\leq 2$, $p+q>1$) and other related equations in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^N$. We show that if $N(p+q-1)<p+1$ then, for…

For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq \beta, sharp bound on $\beta$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $\alpha$. Several other…

For $n \geq 5$, we consider positive solutions $u$ of the biharmonic equation \[ \Delta^2 u = u^\frac{n+4}{n-4} \qquad \text{on}\ \mathbb R^n \setminus \{0\} \] with a non-removable singularity at the origin. We show that…

We study positive definite functions on noncommuting strict contractions. In particular, we study functions that induce positive definite Hua-Bellman matrices (i.e., matrices of the form $[\det(I-A_i^*A_j)^{-\alpha}]_{ij}$ where $A_i$ and…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…

In this paper, we focus on a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, which can be written for s\in\N^* by \zeta_q(s)=\sum_{k\geq 1}q^k\sum_{d|k}d^{s-1}. We give a new lower bound for the dimension of the vector space…

In this note, we obtain a classification result for positive solutions to the critical p-Laplace equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge4$ and $p>p_n$ for some number $p_n\in\left(\frac{n}{3},\frac{n+1}{3}\right)$ such that…

The bivariate series $\theta (q,x):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$ defines a {\em partial theta function}. For fixed $q$, $\theta (q,.)$ is an entire function. We show that for $|q|\leq 0.108$ the function $\theta (q,.)$ has no…

Recently Alan Sokal studied the leading root $x_0(q)$ of the partial theta function $\Theta_0(x,q)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty x^nq^{\binom n2}$, considered as a formal power series. He proved that all the coefficients of…

We study the zero Dirichlet problem for the equation $-\Delta_p u -\Delta_q u = \alpha |u|^{p-2}u+\beta |u|^{q-2}u$ in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, with $1<q<p$. We investigate the relation between two critical curves on…
