For a double complex $(A,d^{\text{'}},d^{\text{'}\text{'}})$, we show that if it satisfies the $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma and the spectral sequence $\left\{E_r^{p,q}\right\}$ induced by $A$ does not degenerate at $E_0$, then it degenerates at $E_1$. We apply this result to prove the degeneration at $E_1$ of a Hodge-de Rham spectral sequence on compact bi-generalized Hermitian manifolds that satisfy a version of $d^{\text{'}}{d}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$-lemma.

We obtain estimates for the average value of the largest prime factor P(n) in short intervals [x,x+y] and of h(P(n)+1), where h is a complex-valued additive function or multiplicative function satisfying certain conditions. Letting $s_q\left(n\right)$ stand for the sum of the digits of n in base q ≥ 2, we show that if α is an irrational number, then the sequence ${\left(\alpha s_q\left(P\left(n\right)\right)\right)}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1.

In this paper, we study a model for the magnetization in thin ferromagnetic films. It comes as a variational problem for $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ (the magnetization) of two variables $x^{\text{'}}$: $E_{\epsilon }\left(m^{\text{'}}\right)=\epsilon \int {|{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}+\frac{1}{2}\int {\left||{\nabla }^{\text{'}}{|}^{-1/2}{\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}\right|}^{2}d{x}^{\text{'}}$. We are interested in the behavior of minimizers as $\epsilon \to 0$. They are expected to be $S^1$-valued maps $m^{\text{'}}$ of vanishing distributional divergence ${\nabla }^{\text{'}}·m^{\text{'}}=0$, so that appropriate boundary conditions enforce line discontinuities. For finite $\epsilon >0$, these line discontinuities are approximated by smooth transition layers, the so-called Néel...

This paper concerns the following system of nonlinear third-order boundary value problem: $$u_i^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right)+f_i(t,u_1\left(t\right),\cdots ,u_n\left(t\right),u_1^{\text{'}}\left(t\right),\cdots ,u_n^{\text{'}}\left(t\right))=0,0<t<1,i\in \{1,\cdots ,n\}$$ with the following multi-point and integral boundary conditions: $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{u}_i\left(0\right)=0u_i^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=0u_i^{\text{'}}\left(1\right)=\sum _{j=1}^p{\beta }_{j,i}{u}_i^{\text{'}}\left({\eta }_{j,i}\right)+{\int }_0^1{h}_i(u_1\left(s\right),\cdots ,u_n\left(s\right))ds\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where ${\beta }_{j,i}>0$, $0<{\eta }_{1,i}<\cdots <{\eta }_{p,i}<\frac{1}{2}$, $f_i:[0,1]\times {ℝ}^n\times {ℝ}^n\to ℝ$ and $h_i:[0,1]\times {ℝ}^n\to ℝ$ are continuous functions for all $i\in \{1,\cdots ,n\}$ and $j\in \{1,\cdots ,p\}$. Using Guo-Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem in cone, we discuss the existence of positive solutions of this problem. We also prove nonexistence of positive solutions and we give some examples to illustrate our results.

Improving on a theorem of Heath-Brown, we show that if X is sufficiently large then a positive proportion of the values n³ + 2: n ∈ (X,2X] have a prime factor larger than $X^{1+{10}^{-52}}$.

We consider elementary operators $x\mapsto {\sum }_{j=1}^n{a}_{j}x{b}_j$, acting on a unital Banach algebra, where $a_j$ and $b_j$ are separately commuting families of generalized scalar elements. We give an ascent estimate and a lower bound estimate for such an operator. Additionally, we give a weak variant of the Fuglede-Putnam theorem for an elementary operator with strongly commuting families $a_j$ and $b_j$, i.e. $a_j=a_j^{\text{'}}+i{a}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j=b_j^{\text{'}}+i{b}_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$), where all $a_j^{\text{'}}$ and $a_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ ($b_j^{\text{'}}$ and $b_j^{\text{'}\text{'}}$) commute. The main tool is an L¹ estimate of the Fourier transform of a certain class...

We comment on a problem of Mazur from “The Scottish Book" concerning second partial derivatives. We prove that if a function f(x,y) of real variables defined on a rectangle has continuous derivative with respect to y and for almost all y the function $F_y\left(x\right):=f_y^{\text{'}}(x,y)$ has finite variation, then almost everywhere on the rectangle the partial derivative $f_{yx}^{\text{'}\text{'}}$ exists. We construct a separately twice differentiable function whose partial derivative $f_x^{\text{'}}$ is discontinuous with respect to the second variable on a...

Some sufficient conditions on the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the damped vibration problems with impulsive effects ⎧ u”(t) + g(t)u’(t) + f(t,u(t)) = 0, a.e. t ∈ [0,T ⎨ u(0) = u(T) = 0 ⎩ $\Delta u^{\text{'}}\left(t_j\right)=u^{\text{'}}(t{⁺}_j-u^{\text{'}}\left(t{¯}_j\right)=I_j\left(u\left(t_j\right)\right)$, j = 1,...,p, are established, where $t₀=0<t₁<\cdots <t_p<t_{p+1}=T$, g ∈ L¹(0,T;ℝ), f: [0,T] × ℝ → ℝ is continuous, and $I_j:ℝ\to ℝ$, j = 1,...,p, are continuous. The solutions are sought by means of the Lax-Milgram theorem and some critical point theorems. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness...

We determine the duals of the homogeneous matrix-weighted Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ which were previously defined in [5]. If W is a matrix $A_p$ weight, then the dual of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ can be identified with ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$ and, similarly, $\left[{ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)\right]*\approx {ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(W^{-p^{\text{'}}/p}\right)$. Moreover, for certain W which may not be in the $A_p$ class, the duals of ${Ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ and ${ḃ}_p^{\alpha q}\left(W\right)$ are determined and expressed in terms of the Besov spaces ${Ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$ and ${ḃ}_{p^{\text{'}}}^{-\alpha q^{\text{'}}}\left(A_Q^{-1}\right)$, which we define in terms of reducing operators ${A_Q}_Q$ associated with W. We also develop the basic theory of these reducing operator Besov spaces....

Let A denote the space of all analytic functions in the unit disc Δ with the normalization f(0) = f’(0) − 1 = 0. For β < 1, let $P{⁰}_{\beta }=f\in A:Re{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)>\beta ,z\in \Delta$. For λ > 0, suppose that denotes any one of the following classes of functions: $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(1\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(2\right)}=f\in :Rez{\left(z²f^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$, $M_{1,\lambda }^{\left(3\right)}=f\in :Re1/2{\left(z{\left(z²f^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)\right)}^{\text{'}\text{'}}\right)}^{\text{'}}-1>-\lambda ,z\in \Delta$. The main purpose of this paper is to find conditions on λ and γ so that each f ∈ is in ${}_{\gamma }$ or ${}_{\gamma }$, γ ∈ [0,1/2]. Here ${}_{\gamma }$ and ${}_{\gamma }$ respectively denote the class of all starlike functions of order γ and the class of all convex functions of order γ. As a consequence, we obtain...

For μ ∈ ℂ such that Re μ > 0 let ${ℱ}_{\mu }$ denote the class of all non-vanishing analytic functions f in the unit disk with f(0) = 1 and $Re(2\pi /\mu z{f}^{\text{'}}\left(z\right)/f\left(z\right)+(1+z)/(1-z))>0$ in . For any fixed z₀ in the unit disk, a ∈ ℂ with |a| ≤ 1 and λ ∈ ̅, we shall determine the region of variability V(z₀,λ) for log f(z₀) when f ranges over the class ${ℱ}_{\mu }\left(\lambda \right)=f\in {ℱ}_{\mu }:f^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=(\mu /\pi )(\lambda -1)and{f}^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(0\right)=(\mu /\pi )\left(a\right(1-\left|\lambda \right|²)+(\mu /\pi )(\lambda -1)²-(1-\lambda ²))$. In the final section we graphically illustrate the region of variability for several sets of parameters.

This paper treats the question of the existence of solutions of a fourth order boundary value problem having the following form: $x^{\left(4\right)}\left(t\right)+f(t,x\left(t\right),x^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right))=0$, 0 < t < 1, x(0) = x’(0) = 0, x”(1) = 0, $x^{\left(3\right)}\left(1\right)=0$. Boundary value problems of very similar type are also considered. It is assumed that f is a function from the space C([0,1]×ℝ²,ℝ). The main tool used in the proof is the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative.

Let d be a positive integer and μ a generalized Cantor measure satisfying $\mu ={\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j\mu \circ S_j^{-1}$, where $0<a_j<1$, ${\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j=1$, $S_j=\rho R+b_j$ with 0 < ρ < 1 and R an orthogonal transformation of ${ℝ}^d$. Then ⎧1 < p ≤ 2 ⇒ ⎨$su{p}_{r>0}{r}^{d(1/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}-1/p^{\text{'}})}({\int }_{J_x^r}{\left|\mu ̂\left(y\right)\right|}^{p^{\text{'}}}{dy)}^{1/p^{\text{'}}}\le D₁{\rho }^{-d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}$, $x\in {ℝ}^d$, ⎩ p = 2 ⇒ infr≥1 rd(1/α’-1/2) (∫J₀r|μ̂(y)|² dy)1/2 ≥ D₂ρd/α’$,$where $J_x^r={\prod }_{i=1}^d(x_i-r/2,x_i+r/2)$, α’ is defined by ${\rho }^{d/{\alpha }^{\text{'}}}={\left({\sum }_{j=1}^m{a}_j^p\right)}^{1/p}$ and the constants D₁ and D₂ depend only on d and p.

Let M ∈ Mₙ(ℤ) be expanding such that |det(M)| = p is a prime and pℤⁿ ⊈ M²(ℤⁿ). Let D ⊂ ℤⁿ be a finite set with |D| = |det(M)|. Suppose the attractor T(M,D) of the iterated function system ${{\varphi }_d\left(x\right)=M^{-1}(x+d)}_{d\in D}$ has positive Lebesgue measure. We prove that (i) if D ⊈ M(ℤⁿ), then D is a complete set of coset representatives of ℤⁿ/M(ℤⁿ); (ii) if D ⊆ M(ℤⁿ), then there exists a positive integer γ such that $D=M^{\gamma }D₀$, where D₀ is a complete set of coset representatives of ℤⁿ/M(ℤⁿ). This improves the corresponding results...

Suppose that N is an odd perfect number and $q^{\alpha }$ is a prime power with $q^{\alpha }\left|\right|N$. Define the index $m=\sigma (N/q^{\alpha })/q^{\alpha }$. We prove that m cannot take the form $p^{2u}$, where u is a positive integer and 2u+1 is composite. We also prove that, if q is the Euler prime, then m cannot take any of the 30 forms q₁, q₁², q₁³, q₁⁴, q₁⁵, q₁⁶, q₁⁷, q₁⁸, q₁q₂, q₁²q₂, q₁³q₂, q₁⁴ q₂, q₁⁵q₂, q₁²q₂², q₁³q₂², q₁⁴q₂², q₁q₂q₃, q₁²q₂q₃, q₁³q₂q₃, q₁⁴q₂q₃, q₁²q₂²q₃, q₁²q₂²q₃², q₁q₂q₃q₄, q₁²q₂q₃q₄, q₁³q₂q₃q₄, q₁²q₂²q₃q₄, q₁q₂q₃q₄q₅, q₁²q₂q₃q₄q₅,...

A couple ($\sigma ,\tau$) of lower and upper slopes for the resonant second order boundary value problem $$x^{\text{'}\text{'}}=f(t,x,x^{\text{'}}),x\left(0\right)=0,x^{\text{'}}\left(1\right)={\int }_0^1{x}^{\text{'}}\left(s\right)\mathrm{d}g\left(s\right),$$ with $g$ increasing on $[0,1]$ such that ${\int }_0^{1}dg=1$, is a couple of functions $\sigma ,\tau \in C^1\left([0,1]\right)$ such that $\sigma \left(t\right)\le \tau \left(t\right)$ for all $t\in [0,1]$, $$\begin{array}{c}{\sigma }^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\ge f(t,x,\sigma \left(t\right)),\sigma \left(1\right)\le {\int }_0^1\sigma \left(s\right)\mathrm{d}g\left(s\right),\\ {\tau }^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\le f(t,x,\tau \left(t\right)),\tau \left(1\right)\ge {\int }_0^1\tau \left(s\right)\mathrm{d}g\left(s\right),\end{array}$$ in the stripe ${\int }_0^t\sigma \left(s\right)\mathrm{d}s\le x\le {\int }_0^t\tau \left(s\right)\mathrm{d}s$ and $t\in [0,1]$. It is proved that the existence of such a couple $(\sigma ,\tau )$ implies the existence and localization of a solution to the boundary value problem. Multiplicity results are also obtained.
