We show that a harmonic function which vanishes continuously on an open set of the boundary of a convex domain cannot have a normal derivative which vanishes on a subset of positive surface measure. We also prove a similar result for caloric functions vanishing on the lateral boundary of a convex cylinder.
Let X be a convex domain in ℂⁿ and let E be a convex subset of X. The relative extremal function for E in X is the supremum of the class of plurisubharmonic functions v ≤ 0 on X with v ≤ -1 on E. We show that if E is either open or compact, then the sublevel sets of are convex. The proof uses the theory of envelopes of disc functionals and a new result on Blaschke products.
We first prove that the convolution of a normalized right half-plane mapping with another subclass of normalized right half-plane mappings with the dilatation [...] −z(a+z)/(1+az) is CHD (convex in the horizontal direction) provided [...] a=1 or [...] −1≤a≤0 . Secondly, we give a simply method to prove the convolution of two special subclasses of harmonic univalent mappings in the right half-plane is CHD which was proved by Kumar et al. [1, Theorem 2.2]. In addition, we derive the convolution...
In this paper we extend recent work on the detection of inclusions using electrostatic measurements to the problem of crack detection in a two-dimensional object. As in the inclusion case our method is based on a factorization of the difference between two Neumann-Dirichlet operators. The factorization possible in the case of cracks is much simpler than that for inclusions and the analysis is greatly simplified. However, the directional information carried by the crack makes the practical implementation...

Let be the error term in Weyl’s law for a 3-dimensional Riemannian Heisenberg manifold. We prove that , where is a specific nonzero constant and is an arbitrary small positive number. This is consistent with the conjecture of Petridis and Toth stating that .The idea of the proof is to use the Poisson summation formula to write the error term in a form which can be estimated by the method of the stationary phase. The similar result will be also proven in the -dimensional case.
