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 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 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 chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity and logistic-type source: $u_t=\Delta u-\chi \nabla ·(u\nabla v/v)+ru-\mu u^k$, $0=\Delta v-v+u$ under the non-flux boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^n$, $\chi ,r,\mu >0$, $k>1$ and $n\ge 1$. It is shown with $k\in (1,2)$ that the system possesses a global generalized solution for $n\ge 2$ which is bounded when $\chi >0$ is suitably small related to $r>0$ and the initial datum is properly small, and a global bounded classical solution for $n=1$.

Let $W$ be the subspace of ${\mathbb{N}}^{*}$ consisting of all weak $P$-points. It is not hard to see that $W$ is a pseudocompact space. In this paper we shall prove that this space has stronger pseudocompact properties. Indeed, it is shown that $W$ is a $p$-pseudocompact space for all $p\in {\mathbb{N}}^{*}$.

Let $f^j={\sum }_k{a}_{k}f(2^{j+1}x-2k)$, where the sum is taken over the lattice of all points k in ${ℝ}^n$ having integer-valued components, j∈ℕ and $a_k\in ℂ$. Let $A_{pq}^s$ be either $B_{pq}^s$ or $F_{pq}^s$ (s ∈ ℝ, 0 < p < ∞, 0 < q ≤ ∞) on ${ℝ}^n.$ The aim of the paper is to clarify under what conditions $\parallel f^j|A_{pq}^s\parallel$ is equivalent to $2^{j(s-n/p)}({\sum }_k|a_k{|}^p{)}^{1/p}\parallel f|A_{pq}^s\parallel$.

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 deal with the problem ⎧ -Δu = f(x,u) + λg(x,u), in Ω, ⎨ ($P_{\lambda }$) ⎩ $u_{\mid \partial \Omega }=0$ where Ω ⊂ ℝⁿ is a bounded domain, λ ∈ ℝ, and f,g: Ω×ℝ → ℝ are two Carathéodory functions with f(x,0) = g(x,0) = 0. Under suitable assumptions, we prove that there exists λ* > 0 such that, for each λ ∈ (0,λ*), problem ($P_{\lambda }$) admits a non-zero, non-negative strong solution $u_{\lambda }\in {\bigcap }_{p\ge 2}{W}^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)$ such that $li{m}_{\lambda \to 0⁺}\left|\right|u_{\lambda }{\left|\right|}_{W^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)}=0$ for all p ≥ 2. Moreover, the function $\lambda \mapsto I_{\lambda }\left(u_{\lambda }\right)$ is negative and decreasing in ]0,λ*[, where $I_{\lambda }$ is the energy functional related to ($P_{\lambda }$). ...

In this work we study the problem $u_t{-div\left(\right|x|}^{-2\gamma }\nabla u)=\lambda \frac{u^{\alpha }}{{\left|x\right|}^{2(\gamma +1)}}+f$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u\ge 0$ in $\Omega \times (0,T)$, $u=0$ on $\partial \Omega \times (0,T)$, $u(x,0)=u_0\left(x\right)$ in $\Omega$, $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$ $(N\ge 2)$ is a bounded regular domain such that $0\in \Omega$, $\lambda >0$, $\alpha >0$, $-\infty <\gamma <\left(N-2\right)/2$, $f$ and $u_0$ are positive functions such that $f\in L^1(\Omega \times (0,T))$ and $u_0\in L^1\left(\Omega \right)$. The main points under analysis are: (i) spectral instantaneous and complete blow-up related to the Harnack inequality in the case $\alpha =1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (ii) the nonexistence of solutions if $\alpha >1$, $1+\gamma >0$; (iii) a uniqueness result for weak solutions (in the distribution sense); (iv) further results on existence of weak solutions...

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

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 $C_{2/q,q^{\text{'}}}$.

Let $X$ be a Stein manifold of complex dimension $n\ge 2$ and $\Omega ⋐X$ be a relatively compact domain with $C^2$ smooth boundary in $X$. Assume that $\Omega$ is a weakly $q$-pseudoconvex domain in $X$. The purpose of this paper is to establish sufficient conditions for the closed range of $\overline{\partial }$ on $\Omega$. Moreover, we study the $\overline{\partial }$-problem on $\Omega$. Specifically, we use the modified weight function method to study the weighted $\overline{\partial }$-problem with exact support in $\Omega$. Our method relies on the $L^2$-estimates by Hörmander (1965) and by Kohn (1973). ...

We prove that if $X$ is a first countable space with property $\left(DC\left({\omega }_1\right)\right)$ and with a $G_{\delta }$-diagonal then the cardinality of $X$ is at most $𝔠$. We also show that if $X$ is a first countable, DCCC, normal space then the extent of $X$ is at most $𝔠$.

Let ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex $K$ of dimension at most $k$, does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of $K$ into ${ℝ}^d$? Known results easily imply polynomiality of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2}$ ($k=1,2$; the case $k=1,d=2$ is graph planarity) and of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2k}$ for all $k\ge 3$. We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{d\to d}$ and ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{(d-1)\to d}$ are undecidable for each ${}_d\ge 5$. Our main result is NP-hardness of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{2\to 4}$ and, more generally, of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ for all...

For each n ≥ 1, let $v_{n,k},k\ge 1$ and $u_{n,k},k\ge 1$ be mutually independent sequences of nonnegative random variables and let each of them consist of mutually independent and identically distributed random variables with means v̅ₙ and u̅̅ₙ, respectively. Let $X{ₙ}^B\left(t\right)=(1/cₙ){\sum }_{j=1}^{\left[nt\right]}(v_{n,j}-v̅ₙ)$, $X{ₙ}^A\left(t\right)=(1/cₙ){\sum }_{j=1}^{\left[nt\right]}(u_{n,j}-u̅̅ₙ)$, t ≥ 0, and $Xₙ=X{ₙ}^B-X{ₙ}^A$. The main result gives conditions under which the weak convergence $Xₙ\stackrel{}{\to }X$, where X is a Lévy process, implies $X{ₙ}^B\stackrel{}{\to }{X}^B$ and $X{ₙ}^A\stackrel{}{\to }{X}^A$, where $X^B$ and $X^A$ are mutually independent Lévy processes and $X=X^B-X^A$.
