We consider the problem of the existence of positive solutions u to the problem $u^{\left(n\right)}\left(x\right)=g\left(u\left(x\right)\right)$, $u\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=...=u^{(n-1)}\left(0\right)=0$ (g ≥ 0,x > 0, n ≥ 2). It is known that if g is nondecreasing then the Osgood condition $\int {₀}^{\delta }1/s{[s/g\left(s\right)]}^{1/n}ds<\infty$ is necessary and sufficient for the existence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem. We give a similar condition for other classes of functions g.

We consider the transmission problem for the Laplace operator in a straight cylinder with data in $L^p$. Applying the theory of the sums of operators in Banach spaces, we prove that the solution admits a decomposition into a regular part in $W^{2,p}$ and an explicit singular part.

In this paper we study the evolutive problem of linear viscoelasticity with a singular kernel memory $G^{\prime }$. We assume that $G^{\prime }$ presents an initial singularity, so that it is not a $L^1$-function in time, whereas the relaxation function $G$ is integrable at $t=0$. By applying the Fourier transform method, we prove a theorem of existence and uniqueness of the weak solutions in a functional space whose definition is strictly related to the properties of the kernel memory.

We prove the existence of distributional solutions to an elliptic problem with a lower order term which depends on the solution $u$ in a singular way and on its gradient $Du$ with quadratic growth. The prototype of the problem under consideration is where $\lambda >0$, $k>0$; $f(x)\in L^{\mathrm{\infty }}(\mathrm{\Omega })$, $f(x)\ge 0$ (and so $u\ge 0$). If , we prove the existence of a solution for both the "+" and the "-" signs, while if $k\ge 1$, we prove the existence of a solution for the "+" sign only.

The aim of this work is to prove a chain rule and an $L^1$-lower semicontinuity theorems for integral functional defined on $BV(\mathrm{\Omega })$. Moreover we apply this result in order to obtain new relaxation and $\mathrm{\Gamma }$-convergence result without any coerciveness and any continuity assumption of the integrand $f(x,s,p)$ with respect to the variable $s$.

The range of the bigenus $P_2$ is one of the unsolved problems concerning smooth complex projective regular threefolds of general type with $p_g=0$: The examples in the literature have $P_2\le 5$. In the present paper we present a non-singular threefold with $p_g=q_1=q_2=0$; $P_2=6$; the bicanonical map is stably birational.

Si studia la perturbazione dello spettro deiroperatore $-\mathrm{\Delta }+{|x|}^2$ dovuta all'introduzione di un potenziale singolare non polinomiale e si prova che la serie perturbativa del primo autovalore di tale operatore è sommabile secondo Borel.

We prove an upper bound for the Aviles–Giga problem, which involves the minimization of the energy $E_{\epsilon }\left(v\right)=\epsilon {\int }_{\Omega }|{\nabla }^2{v|}^{2}dx+{\epsilon }^{-1}{\int }_{\Omega }{\left(1-\right|\nabla v|}^2{)}^{2}dx$ over $v\in H^2\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\epsilon >0$ is a small parameter. Given $v\in W^{1,\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$ such that $\nabla v\in BV$ and $\left|\nabla v\right|=1$ a.e., we construct a family $\left\{v_{\epsilon }\right\}$ satisfying: $v_{\epsilon }\to v$ in $W^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$ and $E_{\epsilon }\left(v_{\epsilon }\right)\to \frac{1}{3}{\int }_{J_{\nabla v}}{\left|{\nabla }^{+}v-{\nabla }^{-}v\right|}^{3}d{\mathscr{H}}^{N-1}$ as $\epsilon$ goes to 0.

Let ${𝕊}^1$ and $𝔻$ be the unit circle and the unit disc in the plane and let us denote by $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ the algebra of the complex-valued continuous functions on ${𝕊}^1$ which are traces of functions in the Sobolev class $W^{1,2}(𝔻)$. On $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ we define the following norm $$\parallel u\parallel ={\parallel u\parallel }_{L^{\mathrm{\infty }}({𝕊}^1)}+{\left({\iint }_{𝔻}{|\nabla \tilde{u}|}^2\right)}^{1/2}$$ where is the harmonic extension of $u$ to $𝔻$. We prove that every isomorphism of the functional algebra $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ is a quasitsymmetric change of variables on ${𝕊}^1$.

We study the chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.

Let $Q={\left(q_n\right)}_{n=1}^{\infty }$ be a sequence of bases with $q_i\ge 2$. In the case when the $q_i$ are slowly growing and satisfy some additional weak conditions, we provide a construction of a number whose $Q$-Cantor series expansion is both $Q$-normal and $Q$-distribution normal. Moreover, this construction will result in a computable number provided we have some additional conditions on the computability of $Q$, and from this construction we can provide computable constructions of numbers with atypical normality properties. ...

Given a topological space ⟨X,⟩ ∈ M, an elementary submodel of set theory, we define $X_M$ to be X ∩ M with topology generated by $U\cap M:U\in \cap M$. Suppose $X_M$ is homeomorphic to the irrationals; must $X=X_M$? We have partial results. We also answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that if $X_M$ is homeomorphic to the “Long Cantor Set”, then $X=X_M$.

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $D$. Recall that $D$ is Schreier if $D$ is integrally closed and for all $x,y,z\in D\setminus \{0\}$, $x|yz$ implies that $x=r\cdot s$ where $r|y$ e $s|z$. A GCD domain is Schreier. We show that an integral domain $D$ is a GCD domain if and only if (i) for each pair $a,b\in D\setminus \{0\}$, there is a finitely generated ideal $B$ such that $aD\bigcap bD=B_v$ and (ii) every quadratic in $D[X]$ that is a product of two linear polynomials in $K[X]$ is a product of two linear polynomials in $D[X]$. We also show that $D$ is Schreier if and only if every...

We consider an SPDE in a Hilbert space $H$ of the form $dX(t)=(AX(t)+b(X(t)))dt+\sigma (X(t))dW(t)$, $X(0)=x\in H$ and the corresponding transition semigroup $P_{t}f(x)=𝔼[f(X(t,x))]$. We define the infinitesimal generator $\overline{L}$ of $P_t$ through the Laplace transform of $P_t$ as in [1]. Then we consider the differential operator $L\phi =\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{Tr}[\sigma (x){\sigma }^{*}(x)D^2\phi ]+⟨b(x),D\phi ⟩$ defined on a suitable set $V$ of regular functions. Our main result is that if $V$ is a core for $\overline{L}$, then there exists a unique solution of the martingale problem defined in terms of $L$. Application to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation and to some regular...

Inspired by a result from Leibov, we find that the supremum defining the $BLO$ norm in $[0,1]$ is actually attained by a specific sub-interval of $[0,1]$ for $f\in VLO([0,1])$

The following results are proved: (i) if $\alpha$, $\beta \in {ℝ}^{+}$ and $A$ is a sectorial operator, then the set $\{t^{\alpha }{A}^{\beta }(t+A);t>0\}$ is bounded; (ii) the same set of operators is R-bounded if $A$ is R-sectorial.

In this paper we study the regularity properties of the one-dimensional one-sided Hardy-Littlewood maximal operators ${ℳ}^{+}$ and ${ℳ}^{-}$. More precisely, we prove that ${ℳ}^{+}$ and ${ℳ}^{-}$ map $W^{1,p}\left(ℝ\right)\to W^{1,p}\left(ℝ\right)$ with $1<p<\infty$, boundedly and continuously. In addition, we show that the discrete versions $M^{+}$ and $M^{-}$ map $\mathrm{BV}\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)\to \mathrm{BV}\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$ boundedly and map $l^1\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)\to \mathrm{BV}\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$ continuously. Specially, we obtain the sharp variation inequalities of $M^{+}$ and $M^{-}$, that is, $$\mathrm{Var}\left(M^{+}\left(f\right)\right)\le \mathrm{Var}\left(f\right)\text{and}\mathrm{Var}\left(M^{-}\left(f\right)\right)\le \mathrm{Var}\left(f\right)$$ if $f\in \mathrm{BV}\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$, where $\mathrm{Var}\left(f\right)$ is the total variation of $f$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathrm{BV}\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)$ is the set of all functions $f:\mathbb{Z}\to ℝ$ satisfying $\mathrm{Var}\left(f\right)<\infty$.

In the present paper the author discusses certain multiple integrals $I(u)$ of the calculus of variations satisfying convexity conditions, and no growth property, and the corresponding Serrin integrals $\Im (u)$, to which the existence theorems in [3,4,5] do not apply. However, in the present paper, the integrals $I(u)$ and $\Im (u)$ are reduced to simpler form $H(v)$ and $\mathscr{H}(v)$ to which the existence theorems above apply. Thus, we derive that $I(u)\le \Im (u)$, $H(v)\le \mathscr{H}(v)$, we obtain the existence of the absolute minimum for the Serrin forms $\Im (u)$...

Viene studiata la semicontinuità rispetto alla topologia di $L^{\mathrm{\infty }}(\mathrm{\Omega };{𝐑}^m)$ per alcuni funzionali del Calcolo delle Variazioni dipendenti da funzioni a valori vettoriali.

In questa Nota, dati uno spazio metrico perfetto $X$ ed un suo sottoinsieme $K$ chiuso e raro, si dimostra l'esistenza di una funzione continua $f:X\to [0,1]$ tale che $int(f^{-1}(t))=\mathrm{\varnothing }$ per ogni $t\in [0,1]$, $f(x)=0$ per ogni $x\in K$ e $f(y)=1$ per qualche $y\in X\setminus K$. In particolare, ciò permette di dare risposta simultaneamente a due questioni poste in [2]. Si mettono in evidenza, poi, ulteriori conseguenze di tale risultato.

We introduce a new class of spaces, called Hausdorff modulo $ℐ$ or $T_2$ mod $ℐ$ spaces with respect to an ideal $ℐ$ which contains the class of all Hausdorff spaces. Characterizations of these spaces are given and their properties are investigated. The concept of compactness modulo an ideal $ℐ$ was introduced by Newcomb in 1967 and studied by Hamlett and Jankovic in 1990. We study the properties of $ℐ$-compact subsets in Hausdorff modulo $ℐ$ spaces and generalize some results of Hamlett and Jankovic....

Si costruiscono curve di genere $g=4n\mathrm{—}3$, $n\ge 3$ che hanno $2^{n-3}(2^{n-2}-1)$ fasci semicanonici $L$ tali che $h^0(L)=4$. Per $n+3$ si dimostra che gli $L$ sono molto ampi.

We study the problem of correctors in the framework of the homogenization of linear parabolic equations posed in a heterogeneous medium $\mathrm{\Omega }$ made of two materials. The first one is located in a set $F_{ϵ}$ of cylindrical parallel fibers periodically distributed with a period of size $ϵ$, and the second one is located in the "matrix" $M_{ϵ}=\mathrm{\Omega }\setminus F_{ϵ}$. The ratio between the conductivity coefficients of the two materials is of order $1/{ϵ}^2$. After writing the homogenized problem, we give a corrector result and prove...

Let $f(\cdot ,t)$ be the probability density function representing the solution of Kac's Boltzmann-like equation at time $t$, with initial data $f_0$, and let $g_{\sigma }$ be the Gaussian density with zero mean and variance ${\sigma }^2$, ${\sigma }^2$ being the value of the second moment of $f_0$. Henry McKean Jr. put forward the conjecture that the total variation distance between $f(\cdot ,t)$ and $g_{\sigma }$ goes to zero, as $t\to +\mathrm{\infty }$, with an exponential rate equal to $-1/4$. This lecture aims at explaining the main efforts made to a view to validating this conjecture,...

Si fa uno studio di un subprodotto generale di una classe $𝐂$ di $𝐑$-moduli ${𝐌}^{(𝐢)}$ $(i\in I)$, dove $𝐂$ è determinato per mezzo di epimorfismi e relazioni. ...

We fix $\mathrm{\ell }$ a prime and let $M$ be an integer such that $\mathrm{\ell }|̸M$; let $f\in S_2({\mathrm{\Gamma }}_1(M{\mathrm{\ell }}^2))$ be a newform supercuspidal of fixed type at $\mathrm{\ell }$ and special at a finite set of primes. For an indefinite quaternion algebra over $Q$, of discriminant dividing the level of $f$, there is a local quaternionic Hecke algebra $T$ associated to $f$. The algebra $T$ acts on a module $M_f$ coming from the cohomology of a Shimura curve. Applying the Taylor-Wiles criterion and a recent Savitt's theorem, $T$ is the universal deformation ring of a global...

If the second order problem $\ddot{u}+\dot{u}+Au=f$ has $L^p$ maximal regularity for some $p\in (1,\mathrm{\infty })$, then it has $L^p$ maximal regularity for every $p\in (1,\mathrm{\infty })$.

This article is devoted to sequences ${(u_n)}_n$ of subharmonic functions in ${ℝ}^N$, with finite order, whose means $J_{u_n}(r)$ (over spheres centered at the origin, with radius r) satisfy such a condition as: $\forall r>0$, $\exists A_r>0$ such that $J_{u_n}(r)\le A_r$, $\forall n\in 𝐍$. The paper investigates under which conditions one may extract a pointwise or uniformly convergent subsequence.

The generalized Riemann integral of Pfeffer (1991) is defined on all bounded $\mathrm{BV}$ subsets of ${ℝ}^n$, but it is additive only with respect to pairs of disjoint sets whose closures intersect in a set of $\sigma$-finite Hausdorff measure of codimension one. Imposing a stronger regularity condition on partitions of $\mathrm{BV}$ sets, we define a Riemann-type integral which satisfies the usual additivity condition and extends the integral of Pfeffer. The new integral is lipeomorphism-invariant and closed with respect...

For a sequence x ∈ ℓ₁∖c₀₀, one can consider the set E(x) of all subsums of the series ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }x\left(n\right)$. Guthrie and Nymann proved that E(x) is one of the following types of sets: () a finite union of closed intervals; () homeomorphic to the Cantor set; homeomorphic to the set T of subsums of ${\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }b\left(n\right)$ where b(2n-1) = 3/4ⁿ and b(2n) = 2/4ⁿ. Denote by ℐ, and the sets of all sequences x ∈ ℓ₁∖c₀₀ such that E(x) has the property (ℐ), () and ( ), respectively. We show that ℐ and are strongly -algebrable and is -lineable....

We attempt to generalize conductor degree's results, known in ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, to the case of 0-dimensional schemes of ${\mathbb{P}}^r$. In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing the sequences generators's degrees of the conductor which are compatible with a fixed postulation (or Hilbert function) for a set of points in ${\mathbb{P}}^r$ and we determine the conductor degree of every point in a $r$-partial intersection. In addition, we define the separating degree of a point for a 0-dimensional subscheme...
