We consider the systems of hyperbolic equations ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S1) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$ ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+{h(t,x)\left|v\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S2) ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{l(t,x)\left|v\right|}^m+k(t,x){\left|u\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, (S3) ⎧$uₜₜ=\Delta \left(a(t,x)u\right)+\Delta \left(b(t,x)v\right)+{h(t,x)\left|u\right|}^p$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, ⎨ ⎩$vₜₜ=\Delta \left(c(t,x)v\right)+{k(t,x)\left|v\right|}^q$, t > 0, $x\in {ℝ}^N$, in $(0,\infty )\times {ℝ}^N$ with u(0,x) = u₀(x), v(0,x) = v₀(x), uₜ(0,x) = u₁(x), vₜ(0,x) = v₁(x). We show that, in each case, there exists a bound B on N such that for 1 ≤ N ≤ B solutions to the systems blow up in finite time.

We consider $C^2$ families $t\mapsto f_t$ of $C^4$ unimodal maps $f_t$ whose critical point is slowly recurrent, and we show that the unique absolutely continuous invariant measure ${\mu }_t$ of $f_t$ depends differentiably on $t$, as a distribution of order $1$. The proof uses transfer operators on towers whose level boundaries are mollified via smooth cutoff functions, in order to avoid artificial discontinuities. We give a new representation of ${\mu }_t$ for a Benedicks-Carleson map $f_t$, in terms of a single smooth function and the...

We consider “nonconventional” averaging setup in the form $\frac{\mathrm{d}{X}^{\epsilon }\left(t\right)}{\mathrm{d}t}=\epsilon B(X^{\epsilon }\left(t\right)$, $𝛯\left(q_1\left(t\right)\right),𝛯\left(q_2\left(t\right)\right),...,𝛯\left(q_{\ell }\left(t\right)\right))$ where $𝛯\left(t\right)$, $t\ge 0$ is either a stochastic process or a dynamical system with sufficiently fast mixing while $q_j\left(t\right)={\alpha }_{j}t$, ${\alpha }_{1}lt;{\alpha }_{2}lt;\cdots lt;{\alpha }_k$ and $q_j$, $j=k+1,...,\ell$ grow faster than linearly. We show that the properly normalized error term in the “nonconventional” averaging principle is asymptotically Gaussian.

Let $k$ be a nonnegative integer or infinity. For $a\in ℂ\cup \left\{\infty \right\}$ we denote by $E_k(a;f)$ the set of all $a$-points of $f$ where an $a$-point of multiplicity $m$ is counted $m$ times if $m\le k$ and $k+1$ times if $m>k$. If $E_k(a;f)=E_k(a;g)$ then we say that $f$ and $g$ share the value $a$ with weight $k$. Using this idea of sharing values we study the uniqueness of meromorphic functions whose certain nonlinear differential polynomials share a nonzero polynomial with finite weight. The results of the paper improve and generalize the related results due to...

We study questions related to exceptional sets of pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ in the unit ball B of ℂⁿ in terms of non-isotropic Hausdorff capacity. For suitable measures μ on the ball B, the pluri-Green potentials $V_{\mu }$ are defined by $V_{\mu }\left(z\right)={\int }_{B}log(1/|{\varphi }_z\left(w\right)\left|\right)d\mu \left(w\right)$, where for a fixed z ∈ B, ${\varphi }_z$ denotes the holomorphic automorphism of B satisfying ${\varphi }_z\left(0\right)=z$, ${\varphi }_z\left(z\right)=0$ and $\left({\varphi }_z\circ {\varphi }_z\right)\left(w\right)=w$ for every w ∈ B. If dμ(w) = f(w)dλ(w), where f is a non-negative measurable function of B, and λ is the measure on B, invariant under all holomorphic automorphisms of...

Let $X$ be a connected closed manifold and $f$ a self-map on $X$. We say that $f$ is almost quasi-unipotent if every eigenvalue $\lambda$ of the map $f_{*k}$ (the induced map on the $k$-th homology group of $X$) which is neither a root of unity, nor a zero, satisfies that the sum of the multiplicities of $\lambda$ as eigenvalue of all the maps $f_{*k}$ with $k$ odd is equal to the sum of the multiplicities of $\lambda$ as eigenvalue of all the maps $f_{*k}$ with $k$ even. We prove that if $f$ is $C^1$ having finitely many periodic points all of them...

Let $f:{\mathbb{P}}^k\to {\mathbb{P}}^k$ be a dominating rational mapping of first algebraic degree $\lambda \ge 2$. If $S$ is a positive closed current of bidegree $(1,1)$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^k$ with zero Lelong numbers, we show – under a natural dynamical assumption – that the pullbacks ${\lambda }^{-n}{\left(f^n\right)}^{*}S$ converge to the Green current $T_f$. For some families of mappings, we get finer convergence results which allow us to characterize all $f^{*}$-invariant currents.

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface. Let ${ℍ}^3$ be the $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space and let ${\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3$ be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping $\varphi :S\to {\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3=\widehat{ℂ}$. If $i:S\to {ℍ}^3$ is a convex immersion, and if $N$ is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, $\widehat{ı}$, of $i$ by $\widehat{ı}=N$. Let $\overrightarrow{n}:U{ℍ}^3\to {\partial }_{\infty }{ℍ}^3$ be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem $(S,\varphi )$ is a convex immersion $i$ of constant Gaussian curvature equal to $k\in (0,1)$ such that the Gauss lifting $(S,\widehat{ı})$ is complete and $\overrightarrow{n}\circ \widehat{ı}=\varphi$. In this...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

We investigate the recovery of $k$-sparse signals using the ${\ell }_1$-${\ell }_2$ minimization model with prior support set information. The prior support set information, which is believed to contain the indices of nonzero signal elements, significantly enhances the performance of compressive recovery by improving accuracy, efficiency, reducing complexity, expanding applicability, and enhancing robustness. We assume $k$-sparse signals $𝐱$ with the prior support $T$ which is composed of $g$ true indices and $b$ wrong...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

The first author has recently proved that if f: X → Y is a k-dimensional map between compacta and Y is p-dimensional (0 ≤ k, p < ∞), then for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p + k, the set of maps g in the space $C(X,I^{p+2k+1-i})$ such that the diagonal product $f\times g:X\to Y\times I^{p+2k+1-i}$ is an (i+1)-to-1 map is a dense $G_{\delta }$-subset of $C(X,I^{p+2k+1-i})$. In this paper, we prove that if f: X → Y is as above and $D_j$ (j = 1,..., k) are superdendrites, then the set of maps h in $C(X,{\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i})$ such that $f\times h:X\to Y\times \left({\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i}\right)$ is (i+1)-to-1 is a dense $G_{\delta }$-subset of $C(X,{\prod }_{j=1}^k{D}_j\times I^{p+1-i})$ for each 0 ≤ i ≤ p.

Let $Y$ be a hyperbolic surface and let $\phi$ be a Laplacian eigenfunction having eigenvalue $-1/4-{\tau }^2$ with $\tau >0$. Let $N\left(\phi \right)$ be the set of nodal lines of $\phi$. For a fixed analytic curve $\gamma$ of finite length, we study the number of intersections between $N\left(\phi \right)$ and $\gamma$ in terms of $\tau$. When $Y$ is compact and $\gamma$ a geodesic circle, or when $Y$ has finite volume and $\gamma$ is a closed horocycle, we prove that $\gamma$ is “good” in the sense of [TZ]. As a result, we obtain that the number of intersections between $N\left(\phi \right)$ and $\gamma$ is $O\left(\tau \right)$. This bound is...

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain of class $C^2$ in $ℝ$N and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\partial \Omega$. Assume that $q\ge (N+1)/\left(N-1\right)$ and denote by $U_K$ the maximal solution of $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\Omega$ which vanishes on $\partial \Omega \setminus K$. We obtain sharp upper and lower estimates for $U_K$ in terms of the Bessel capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$ and prove that $U_K$ is $\sigma$-moderate. In addition we describe the precise asymptotic behavior of $U_K$ at points $\sigma \in K$, which depends on the “density” of $K$ at $\sigma$, measured in terms of the capacity $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.
