In this paper we study the parabolic Anderson equation $\partial u(x,t)/\partial t=\kappa 𝛥u(x,t)+\xi (x,t)u(x,t)$, $x\in {\mathbb{Z}}^d$, $t\ge 0$, where the $u$-field and the $\xi$-field are $ℝ$-valued, $\kappa \in [0,\infty )$ is the diffusion constant, and $𝛥$ is the discrete Laplacian. The $\xi$-field plays the role of athat drives the equation. The initial condition $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$, $x\in {\mathbb{Z}}^d$, is taken to be non-negative and bounded. The solution of the parabolic Anderson equation describes the evolution of a field of particles performing independent simple random walks with binary branching: particles jump at rate $2d\kappa$,...

For a principal type pseudodifferential operator, we prove that condition $\left(\psi \right)$ implies local solvability with a loss of 3/2 derivatives. We use many elements of Dencker’s paper on the proof of the Nirenberg-Treves conjecture and we provide some improvements of the key energy estimates which allows us to cut the loss of derivatives from $ϵ+3/2$ for any $ϵ\>0$ (Dencker’s most recent result) to 3/2 (the present paper). It is already known that condition $\left(\psi \right)$ doesimply local solvability with a loss of 1...

The Cauchy problem for the system of linear generalized ordinary differential equations in the J. Kurzweil sense $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_0\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_0\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_0\right)=c_0$ $(t\in I)$ with a unique solution $x_0$ is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for a sequence of the Cauchy problems $\mathrm{d}x\left(t\right)=\mathrm{d}{A}_k\left(t\right)·x\left(t\right)+\mathrm{d}{f}_k\left(t\right)$, $x\left(t_k\right)=c_k$ $(k=1,2,\cdots )$ to have a unique solution $x_k$ for any sufficiently large $k$ such that $x_k\left(t\right)\to x_0\left(t\right)$ uniformly on $I$. Presented results are analogous to the sufficient conditions due to Z. Opial for linear ordinary differential systems....

We prove that, assuming , if $X$ is a space with ${\aleph }_1$-calibre and a zeroset diagonal, then $X$ is submetrizable. This gives a consistent positive answer to the question of Buzyakova in Observations on spaces with zeroset or regular $G_{\delta }$-diagonals, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 46 (2005), no. 3, 469–473. We also make some observations on spaces with ${\aleph }_1$-calibre.

Very recently, the generating function $A\left(z\right)$ of the Stern sequence ${\left(a_n\right)}_{n\ge 0}$, defined by $a_0:=0,a_1:=1,$ and $a_{2n}:=a_n,a_{2n+1}:=a_n+a_{n+1}$ for any integer $n\>0$, has been considered from the arithmetical point of view. Coons [8] proved the transcendence of $A\left(\alpha \right)$ for every algebraic $\alpha$ with $0\<\left|\alpha \right|\<1$, and this result was generalized in [6] to the effect that, for the same $\alpha$’s, all numbers $A\left(\alpha \right),A^{\prime }\left(\alpha \right),A^{\prime \prime }\left(\alpha \right),...$ are algebraically independent. At about the same time, Bacher...

Let $\varphi$ be a substitution of Pisot type on the alphabet $𝒜=\{1,2,...,d\}$; $\varphi$ satisfies theif for every $i,j\in 𝒜$, there are integers $k,n$ such that ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same $k$-th letter, and the prefixes of length $k-1$ of ${\varphi }^n\left(i\right)$ and ${\varphi }^n\left(j\right)$ have the same image under the abelianization map. We prove that the strong coincidence condition is satisfied if $d=2$ and provide a partial result for $d\ge 2$.

Following a suggestion of W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer, we construct a proper $3$-system $(P_1,P_2,P_3)$ with the property ${\overline{\varphi }}_3=1$. In fact, our method generalizes to provide $n$-systems with ${\overline{\varphi }}_n=1$, for arbitrary $n\ge 3$. We visualize our constructions with graphics. We further present explicit examples of numbers ${\xi }_1,...,{\xi }_{n-1}$ that induce the $n$-systems in question.

We are interested in regularizing effect of the interplay between the coefficient of zero order term and the datum in some noncoercive integral functionals of the type $$𝒥\left(v\right)={\int }_{\Omega }j(x,v,\nabla v)\mathrm{d}x+{\int }_{\Omega }a\left(x\right){\left|v\right|}^2\mathrm{d}x-{\int }_{\Omega }fv\mathrm{d}x,v\in W_0^{1,2}\left(\Omega \right),$$ where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$, $j$ is a Carathéodory function such that $\xi \mapsto j(x,s,\xi )$ is convex, and there exist constants $0\le \tau <1$ and $M>0$ such that $$\frac{{\left|\xi \right|}^2}{{(1+|s\left|\right)}^{\tau }}\le j(x,s,\xi )\le M{\left|\xi \right|}^2$$ for almost all $x\in \Omega$, all $s\in ℝ$ and all $\xi \in {ℝ}^N$. We show that, even if $0<a\left(x\right)$ and $f\left(x\right)$ only belong to $L^1\left(\Omega \right)$, the interplay $$\left|f\right(x\left)\right|\le 2Qa\left(x\right)$$ implies the existence of a minimizer $u\in W_0^{1,2}\left(\Omega \right)$ which belongs to $L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$.

A vertex $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a if $M\left(u\right)\ne M\left(v\right)$ for every edge $uv\in E\left(G\right)$, where $M\left(u\right)$ and $M\left(v\right)$ denote the multisets of colors of the neighbors of $u$ and $v$, respectively. The minimum $k$ for which $G$ has a multiset $k$-coloring is the ${\chi }_m\left(G\right)$ of $G$. For an integer $\ell \ge 0$, the $\ell$- of a graph $G$, ${\mathrm{cor}}^{\ell }\left(G\right)$, is the graph obtained from $G$ by adding, for each vertex $v$ in $G$, $\ell$ new neighbors which are end-vertices. In this paper, the multiset chromatic numbers are determined for $\ell$- of all complete graphs, the regular complete...

In this note we shall prove that for a continuous function $\varphi :\Delta \to {ℝ}^n$, where $\Delta \subset ℝ$,  the paratingent of $\varphi$ at $a\in \Delta$ is a non-empty and compact set in ${ℝ}^n$ if and only if $\varphi$ satisfies Lipschitz condition in a neighbourhood of $a$. Moreover, in this case the paratingent is a connected set.

Let $𝒜$ be a commutative algebraic group defined over a number field $k$. We consider the following question:A complete answer for the case of the multiplicative group ${𝔾}_m$ is classical. We study other instances and in particular obtain an affirmative answer when $r$ is a prime and $𝒜$ is either an elliptic curve or a torus of small dimension with respect to $r$. Without restriction on the dimension of a torus, we produce an example showing that the answer can be negative even when $r$ is a prime. ...
