In this paper we outline some recent results concerning the existence of steady solutions to the Euler equation in ${ℝ}^3$ with a prescribed set of (possibly knotted and linked) thin vortex tubes.

Menon’s identity is a classical identity involving gcd sums and the Euler totient function $\phi$. A natural generalization of $\phi$ is the Klee’s function ${\Phi }_s$. We derive a Menon-type identity using Klee’s function and a generalization of the gcd function. This identity generalizes an identity given by Y. Li and D. Kim (2017).

We study values of the Euler function φ(n) taken on binary palindromes of even length. In particular, if ${ℬ}_{2\ell }$ denotes the set of binary palindromes with precisely 2ℓ binary digits, we derive an asymptotic formula for the average value of the Euler function on ${ℬ}_{2\ell }$.

Let λ denote Carmichael’s function, so λ(n) is the universal exponent for the multiplicative group modulo n. It is closely related to Euler’s φ-function, but we show here that the image of λ is much denser than the image of φ. In particular the number of λ-values to x exceeds $x/{\left(logx\right)}^{.36}$ for all large x, while for φ it is equal to $x/{\left(logx\right)}^{1+o\left(1\right)}$, an old result of Erdős. We also improve on an earlier result of the first author and Friedlander giving an upper bound for the distribution of λ-values.

Let $M_g^n$ be the moduli space of $n$-pointed Riemann surfaces of genus $g$. Denote by $\overline{M_g^n}$ the Deligne-Mumford compactification of $M_g^n$. In the present paper, we calculate the orbifold and the ordinary Euler characteristic of $\overline{M_g^n}$ for any $g$ and $n$ such that $n>2-2g$.

For a prime p > 2, an integer a with gcd(a,p) = 1 and real 1 ≤ X,Y < p, we consider the set of points on the modular hyperbola ${}_{a,p}(X,Y)=(x,y):xy\equiv a\left(modp\right),1\le x\le X,1\le y\le Y$. We give asymptotic formulas for the average values ${\sum }_{\begin{array}{c}(\end{array}x,y){\in }_{a,p}(X,Y)x\ne y*}\phi \left(\right|x-y\left|\right)/|x-y|$ and ${\sum }_{\begin{array}{c}(\end{array}x,y){\in }_{a,p}(X,X)x\ne y*}\phi \left(\right|x-y\left|\right)$ with the Euler function φ(k) on the differences between the components of points of ${}_{a,p}(X,Y)$.

The pairs (k,m) are studied such that for every positive integer n we have $1^k+2^k+\cdots +n^k|1^{km}+2^{km}+\cdots +n^{km}$.

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 $c{̂}_q\left(n\right):={\sum }_{d\left|\right(q,n)}d\left|\mu (q/d)\right|$.

The incidence coalgebras $K^{\square }I$ of interval finite posets I and their comodules are studied by means of the reduced Euler integral quadratic form $q^{•}:{\mathbb{Z}}^{\left(I\right)}\to \mathbb{Z}$, where K is an algebraically closed field. It is shown that for any such coalgebra the tameness of the category $K^{\square }I-comod$ of finite-dimensional left $K^{\square }I$-modules is equivalent to the tameness of the category $K^{\square }I-Como{d}_{fc}$ of finitely copresented left $K^{\square }I$-modules. Hence, the tame-wild dichotomy for the coalgebras $K^{\square }I$ is deduced. Moreover, we prove that for an interval finite...

In this paper we deal with the problem of asymptotic integration of nonlinear differential equations with $p-$Laplacian, where $1<p<2$. We prove sufficient conditions under which all solutions of an equation from this class are converging to a linear function as $t\to \infty$.

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 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: $xₙ\sim {((2-p)/\left((m-1){\sum }_{i=0}^m{a}_{i,m}\right))}^{1/(m-1)}1/\sqrt[m-1]{n}$.

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 → ∞.

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 classify all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $A$ transforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections $\nabla$ on fibered-fibered manifolds $Y$ of dimension $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$ into $r$th order Lagrangians $A\left(r\right)$ on the fibered-fibered linear frame bundle $L^{fib-fib}\left(Y\right)$ on $Y$. Moreover, we classify all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $B$ transforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections r on fiberedfibered manifolds $Y$ of dimension $(m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2)$ into Euler morphism $B\left(\nabla \right)$ on $L^{fib-fib}\left(Y\right)$. These classifications can be expanded on...

We consider the integral functional $J\left(u\right)={\int }_{\Omega }\left[f\right(\left|Du\right|\left)-u\right]dx$, $u\in W_0^{1,1}\left(\Omega \right)$, where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $n\ge 2$, is a nonempty bounded connected open subset of ${ℝ}^n$ with smooth boundary, and $ℝ\ni s\mapsto f\left(\right|s\left|\right)$ is a convex, differentiable function. We prove that if $J$ admits a minimizer in $W_0^{1,1}\left(\Omega \right)$ depending only on the distance from the boundary of $\Omega$, then $\Omega$ must be a ball.

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...

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.

We focus on the special type of the continuous dynamical system which is generated by Euler equation branching. Euler equation branching is a type of differential inclusion $\dot{x}\in \{f\left(x\right),g\left(x\right)\}$, where $f,g:X\subset {ℝ}^n\to {ℝ}^n$ are continuous and $f\left(x\right)\ne g\left(x\right)$ at every point $x\in X$. It seems this chaotic behaviour is typical for such dynamical system. In the second part we show an application in a new formulated overall macroeconomic equilibrium model. This new model is based on the fundamental macroeconomic aggregate equilibrium model called...

Let $p=1+2^{e+1}q$ be an odd prime number with q an odd integer. Let δ (resp. φ) be an odd (resp. even) Dirichlet character of conductor p and order $2^{e+1}$ (resp. order $d_{\phi }$ dividing q), and let ψₙ be an even character of conductor $p^{n+1}$ and order pⁿ. We put χ = δφψₙ, whose value is contained in $Kₙ=\mathbb{Q}\left({\zeta }_{(p-1)pⁿ}\right)$. It is well known that the Bernoulli number $B_{1,\chi }$ is not zero, which is shown in an analytic way. In the extreme cases $d_{\phi }=1$ and q, we show, in an algebraic and elementary manner, a stronger nonvanishing result: $T{r}_{n/1}\left(\xi B_{1,\chi }\right)\ne 0$ for any...
