Our main purpose is to establish the existence of a positive solution of the system ⎧$-{∆}_{p\left(x\right)}u=F(x,u,v)$, x ∈ Ω, ⎨$-{∆}_{q\left(x\right)}v=H(x,u,v)$, x ∈ Ω, ⎩u = v = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ is a bounded domain with C² boundary, $F(x,u,v)={\lambda }^{p\left(x\right)}[g\left(x\right)a\left(u\right)+f\left(v\right)]$, $H(x,u,v)={\lambda }^{q(x})[g\left(x\right)b\left(v\right)+h\left(u\right)]$, λ > 0 is a parameter, p(x),q(x) are functions which satisfy some conditions, and $-{∆}_{p\left(x\right)}u=-{div\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{p\left(x\right)-2}\nabla u)$ is called the p(x)-Laplacian. We give existence results and consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions near the boundary. We do not assume any symmetry conditions on the system.

We consider the semilinear Lane–Emden problem $$ where $p>1$ and $\Omega$ is a smooth bounded domain of ${ℝ}^2$. The aim of the paper is to analyze the asymptotic behavior of sign changing solutions of ${(}_p)$, as $p\to +\infty$. Among other results we show, under some symmetry assumptions on $\Omega$, that the positive and negative parts of a family of symmetric solutions concentrate at the same point, as $p\to +\infty$, and the limit profile looks like a tower of two bubbles given by a superposition of a regular and a singular solution of...

We consider the asymptotic behavior of some classes of sequences defined by a recurrent formula. The main result is the following: Let f: (0,∞)² → (0,∞) be a continuous function such that (a) 0 < f(x,y) < px + (1-p)y for some p ∈ (0,1) and for all x,y ∈ (0,α), where α > 0; (b) $f(x,y)=px+(1-p)y-{\sum }_{s=m}^{\infty }s(x,y)$ uniformly in a neighborhood of the origin, where m > 1, ${}_s(x,y)={\sum }_{i=0}^s{a}_{i,s}{x}^{s-i}{y}^i$; (c) $ₘ(1,1)={\sum }_{i=0}^m{a}_{i,m}>0$. Let x₀,x₁ ∈ (0,α) and $x_{n+1}=f(xₙ,x_{n-1})$, n ∈ ℕ. Then the sequence (xₙ) satisfies the following asymptotic formula: $xₙ\sim {((2-p)/\left((m-1){\sum }_{i=0}^m{a}_{i,m}\right))}^{1/(m-1)}1/\sqrt[m-1]{n}$.

A new derivation of the classic asymptotic expansion of the $n$-th prime is presented. A fast algorithm for the computation of its terms is also given, which will be an improvement of that by Salvy (1994). Realistic bounds for the error with ${li}^{-1}\left(n\right)$, after having retained the first $m$ terms, for $1\le m\le 11$, are given. Finally, assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we give estimations of the best possible $r_3$ such that, for $n\ge r_3$, we have $p_n\&gt;s_3\left(n\right)$ where $s_3\left(n\right)$ is the sum of the first four terms of the asymptotic...

We study the leading order behaviour of positive solutions of the equation $-\Delta u+ϵu-{\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u+{\left|u\right|}^{q-2}u=0,x\in {ℝ}^N$, where $N\ge 3$, $q>p>2$ and when $ϵ>0$ is a small parameter. We give a complete characterization of all possible asymptotic regimes as a function of $p$, $q$ and $N$. The behavior of solutions depends sensitively on whether $p$ is less, equal or bigger than the critical Sobolev exponent $2^{*}=\frac{2N}{N-2}$. For $p<2^{*}$ the solution asymptotically coincides with the solution of the equation in which the last term is absent. For $p>2^{*}$ the solution asymptotically...

Let $M$ be a given nonempty set of positive integers and $S$ any set of nonnegative integers. Let $\overline{\delta }\left(S\right)$ denote the upper asymptotic density of $S$. We consider the problem of finding $$\mu \left(M\right):=\underset{S}{sup}\overline{\delta }\left(S\right),$$ where the supremum is taken over all sets $S$ satisfying that for each $a,b\in S$, $a-b\notin M.$ In this paper we discuss the values and bounds of $\mu \left(M\right)$ where $M=\{a,b,a+nb\}$ for all even integers and for all sufficiently large odd integers $n$ with $a<b$ and $gcd(a,b)=1.$

Let $p,q\in ℝ$ with $p-q\ge 0$, $\sigma =\frac{1}{2}(p+q-1)$ and $s=\frac{1}{2}(1-p+q)$, and let $${𝒟}_m(x;p,q)={𝒟}_0(x;p,q)+\sum _{k=1}^m\frac{B_{2k}\left(s\right)}{2k{(x+\sigma )}^{2k}},$$ where $${𝒟}_0(x;p,q)=\frac{\psi (x+p)+\psi (x+q)}{2}-ln(x+\sigma ).$$ We establish the asymptotic expansion $${𝒟}_0(x;p,q)\sim -\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{B_{2n}\left(s\right)}{2n{(x+\sigma )}^{2n}}\text{as}x\to \infty ,$$ where $B_{2n}\left(s\right)$ stands for the Bernoulli polynomials. Further, we prove that the functions ${(-1)}^m{𝒟}_m(x;p,q)$ and ${(-1)}^{m+1}{𝒟}_m(x;p,q)$ are completely monotonic in $x$ on $(-\sigma ,\infty )$ for every $m\in {\mathbb{N}}_0$ if and only if $p-q\in [0,\frac{1}{2}]$ and $p-q=1$, respectively. This not only unifies the two known results but also yields some new results.

Let $c_q\left(n\right)$ be the Ramanujan sum, i.e. $c_q\left(n\right)={\sum }_{d\left|\right(q,n)}d\mu (q/d)$, where μ is the Möbius function. In a paper of Chan and Kumchev (2012), asymptotic formulas for ${\sum }_{n\le y}{\left({\sum }_{q\le x}{c}_q\left(n\right)\right)}^k$ (k = 1,2) are obtained. As an analogous problem, we evaluate ${\sum }_{n\le y}{\left({\sum }_{n\le x}c{̂}_q\left(n\right)\right)}^k$ (k = 1,2), where $c{̂}_q\left(n\right):={\sum }_{d\left|\right(q,n)}d\left|\mu (q/d)\right|$.

We survey recent results concerning estimates of the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet $p$-Laplacian and the Navier $p$-biharmonic operator on a ball of radius $R$ in ${ℝ}^N$ and its asymptotics for $p$ approaching $1$ and $\infty$. Let $p$ tend to $\infty$. There is a critical radius $R_C$ of the ball such that the principal eigenvalue goes to $\infty$ for $0<R\le R_C$ and to $0$ for $R>R_C$. The critical radius is $R_C=1$ for any $N\in \mathbb{N}$ for the $p$-Laplacian and $R_C=\sqrt{2N}$ in the case of the $p$-biharmonic operator. When $p$ approaches $1$, the principal eigenvalue...

We show that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\otimes ̂{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1 ≤ p,q < s and that every operator from ${\ell }_s$ to ${\ell }_p\widehat{\otimes ̂}{\ell }_q$ is compact when 1/p + 1/q > 1 + 1/s.

We study the irreducible constituents of the reduction modulo $p$ of irreducible algebraic representations $V$ of the group ${Res}_{K/{\mathbb{Q}}_p}{GL}_2$ for $K$ a finite extension of ${\mathbb{Q}}_p$. We show that asymptotically, the multiplicity of each constituent depends only on the dimension of $V$ and the central character of its reduction modulo $p$. As an application, we compute the asymptotic value of multiplicities that are the object of the Breuil-Mézard conjecture.

We consider Akatsuka’s zeta Mahler measure as a generating function of the higher Mahler measure $m_k\left(P\right)$ of a polynomial $P,$ where $m_k\left(P\right)$ is the integral of $lo{g}^k\left|P\right|$ over the complex unit circle. Restricting ourselves to P(x) = x - r with |r| = 1 we show some new asymptotic results regarding $m_k\left(P\right)$, in particular $|m_k\left(P\right)|/k!\to 1/\pi$ as k → ∞.
