The surjectivity of the operator $D_2+i{x}_2^{2k}{D}_1$ from the Gevrey space ${\mathcal{E}}^{\left\{s\right\}}\left({\mathbb{R}}^2\right)$, $s\ge 1$, onto itself and its non-surjectivity from ${\mathcal{E}}^{\left\{s\right\}}\left({\mathbb{R}}^3\right)$ to ${\mathcal{E}}^{\left\{s\right\}}\left({\mathbb{R}}^3\right)$ is proved.

Let: $𝐘=\left({𝐘}_i\right)$, where ${𝐘}_i=\left(Y_{i,1},...,Y_{i,d}\right)$, $i=1,2,\cdots$, be a $d$-dimensional, identically distributed, stationary, centered process with uniform marginals and a joint cdf $F$, and $F_n\left(𝐱\right):=\frac{1}{n}{\sum }_{i=1}^n𝕀\left(Y_{i,1}\le x_1,\cdots ,Y_{i,d}\le x_d\right)$ denote the corresponding empirical cdf. In our work, we prove the almost sure central limit theorem for an empirical process $B_n=\sqrt{n}\left(F_n-F\right)$ under some weak dependence conditions due to Doukhan and Louhichi. Some application of the established result to copula processes is also presented.

The Muskat problem models the dynamics of the interface between two incompressible immiscible fluids with different constant densities. In this work we prove three results. First we prove an $L^2\left(ℝ\right)$ maximum principle, in the form of a new “log” conservation law which is satisfied by the equation (1) for the interface. Our second result is a proof of global existence for unique strong solutions if the initial data is smaller than an explicitly computable constant, for instance ${∥f∥}_1\le 1/5$. Previous results...

Let $\mathrm{\Omega }$ be a bounded open convex set of class $C^2$. Let $a\left(x,H\left(u\right)\right)$ be a non linear operator satisfying the condition (A) (elliptic) with constants $\alpha$, $\gamma$, $\delta$. We prove that a number $\lambda \ge 0$ is an eigenvalue for the operator $a\left(x,H\left(u\right)\right)$ if and only if the number $\alpha \lambda$ is an eigen-value for the operator $\mathrm{\Delta }u$. If $\lambda \ge 0$ , the two systems $a\left(x,H\left(u\right)\right)=\lambda u$ and $\mathrm{\Delta }u=\alpha \lambda u$ have the same solutions. In particular, also the eventual eigen-values of the operator $a\left(x,H\left(u\right)\right)$ should all be negative. Finally, we obtain a sufficient condition for the existence of solutions $u\in H^2\cap H_0^1\left(\mathrm{\Omega }\right)$...

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...

For a real number $q>1$ and a positive integer $m$, let $Y_m\left(q\right):=\left\{{\sum }_{i=0}^n{ϵ}_i{q}^i:{ϵ}_i\in \left\{0,\pm 1,...,\pm m\right\},n=0,1,...\right\}$. In this paper, we show that $Y_m\left(q\right)$ is dense in $ℝ$ if and only if $q<m+1$ and $q$ is not a Pisot number. This completes several previous results and answers an open question raised by Erdös, Joó and Komornik [8].
