We consider the following Darboux problem for the functional differential equation $\partial ²u/\partial x\partial y(x,y)=f(x,y,u_{(x,y)},\partial u/\partial x(x,y),\partial u/\partial y(x,y))$ a.e. in [0,a]×[0,b], u(x,y) = ψ(x,y) on [-a₀,a]×[-b₀,b]$0,a\left]\times \right(0,b],$where the function $u_{(x,y)}:[-a₀,0]\times [-b₀,0]\to {ℝ}^k$ is defined by $u_{(x,y)}(s,t)=u(s+x,t+y)$ for (s,t) ∈ [-a₀,0]×[-b₀,0]. We prove a theorem on existence of the Carathéodory solutions of the above problem.

We prove the central limit theorem for the multisequence ${\sum }_{1\le n₁\le N₁}\cdots {\sum }_{1\le n_d\le N_d}{a}_{n₁,...,n_d}cos(⟨2\pi m,A{₁}^{n₁}...A_d^{n_d}x⟩)$ where $m\in {\mathbb{Z}}^s$, $a_{n₁,...,n_d}$ are reals, $A₁,...,A_d$ are partially hyperbolic commuting s × s matrices, and x is a uniformly distributed random variable in ${[0,1]}^s$. The main tool is the S-unit theorem.

A hyperideal polyhedron is a non-compact polyhedron in the hyperbolic $3$-space ${ℍ}^3$ which, in the projective model for ${ℍ}^3\subset {\mathrm{ℝ\mathbb{P}}}^3$, is just the intersection of ${ℍ}^3$ with a projective polyhedron whose vertices are all outside ${ℍ}^3$ and whose edges all meet ${ℍ}^3$. We classify hyperideal polyhedra, up to isometries of ${ℍ}^3$, in terms of their combinatorial type and of their dihedral angles.

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 second order quasilinear evolution equations where also the main part contains functional dependence on the unknown function. First, existence of solutions in $(0,T)$ is proved and examples satisfying the assumptions of the existence theorem are formulated. Then a uniqueness theorem is proved. Finally, existence and some qualitative properties of the solutions in $(0,\infty )$ (boundedness and stabilization as $t\to \infty$) are shown.

Let 0 < β < α < 1 and let p ∈ (0,1). We consider the functional equation φ(x) = pφ (x-β)/(1-β) + (1-p)φ(minx/α, (x(α-β)+β(1-α))/α(1-β)) and its solutions in two classes of functions, namely ℐ = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is increasing, ${\phi |}_{(-\infty ,0]}=0$, ${\phi |}_{[1,\infty )}=1$, = φ: ℝ → ℝ|φ is continuous, ${\phi |}_{(-\infty ,0]}=0$, ${\phi |}_{[1,\infty )}=1$. We prove that the above equation has at most one solution in and that for some parameters α,β and p such a solution exists, and for some it does not. We also determine all solutions of the equation in ℐ and we show the...

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...

In his seminal paper on arithmetic surfaces Faltings introduced a new invariant associated to compact Riemann surfaces $X$, nowadays called Faltings’s delta function and here denoted by ${\delta }_{\mathrm{Fal}}\left(X\right)$. For a given compact Riemann surface $X$ of genus $g_X=g$, the invariant ${\delta }_{\mathrm{Fal}}\left(X\right)$ is roughly given as minus the logarithm of the distance with respect to the Weil-Petersson metric of the point in the moduli space ${ℳ}_g$ of genus $g$ curves determined by $X$ to its boundary $\partial {ℳ}_g$. In this paper we begin by revisiting a formula derived...

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.

Suppose Δ̃ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere $S^{d-1},{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k}f\left(x\right)={\Delta }_{\rho }{\Delta }_{\rho }^{k-1}f\left(x\right)$ and ${\Delta }_{\rho }f\left(x\right)=f\left(\rho x\right)-f\left(x\right)$ where ρ ∈ SO(d). Then ${\omega }^m{(f,t)}_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}\equiv sup\parallel {\Delta }_{\rho }^{m}f{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:\rho \in SO\left(d\right),ma{x}_{x\in S^{d-1}}\rho x·x\ge cost$ and $K̃ₘ{(f,t^m)}_p\equiv inf\parallel f-g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}+t^m\parallel {(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}g{\parallel }_{L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)}:g\in \left({(-\Delta ̃)}^{m/2}\right)$ are equivalent for 1 < p < ∞. We note that for even m the relation was recently investigated by the second author. The equivalence yields an extension of the results on sharp Jackson inequalities on the sphere. A new strong converse inequality for $L_p\left(S^{d-1}\right)$ given in this paper plays a significant role in the proof.

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...

This work deals with Feigenbaum’s functional equation ⎧ $h\left(g\left(x\right)\right)=g^p\left(h\left(x\right)\right)$, ⎨ ⎩ g(0) = 1, -1 ≤ g(x) ≤ 1, x∈[-1,1] where p ≥ 2 is an integer, $g^p$ is the p-fold iteration of g, and h is a strictly monotone odd continuous function on [-1,1] with h(0) = 0 and |h(x)| < |x| (x ∈ [-1,1], x ≠ 0). Using a constructive method, we discuss the existence of continuous unimodal even solutions of the above equation.
