We prove the existence of distributional solutions to an elliptic problem with a lower order term which depends on the solution $u$ in a singular way and on its gradient $Du$ with quadratic growth. The prototype of the problem under consideration is where $\lambda >0$, $k>0$; $f(x)\in L^{\mathrm{\infty }}(\mathrm{\Omega })$, $f(x)\ge 0$ (and so $u\ge 0$). If , we prove the existence of a solution for both the "+" and the "-" signs, while if $k\ge 1$, we prove the existence of a solution for the "+" sign only.

In this paper we study the nonlinear Schrödinger-Maxwell equations If $V$ is a positive constant, we prove the existence of a ground state solution $(u,\varphi )$ for . The non-constant potential case is treated for , and $V$ possibly unbounded below.

Assume that $\mathrm{\Omega }$, ${\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\prime }$ are planar domains and $f:\mathrm{\Omega }\stackrel{\text{onto}}{\to }{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\prime }$ is a homeomorphism belonging to Sobolev space $W_{\text{loc}}^{1,1}(\mathrm{\Omega };{ℝ}^2)$ with finite distortion. We prove that if the distortion function $K_f$ of $f$ satisfies the condition , then the distortion function $K_{f^{-1}}$ of $f^{-1}$ belongs to $L_{\text{loc}}^1({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\prime })$. We show that this result is sharp in sense that the conclusion fails if ${\mathrm{dist}}_{\text{EXP}}(K_f,L^{\mathrm{\infty }})=1$. Moreover, we prove that if the distortion function $K_f$ satisfies the condition ${\mathrm{dist}}_{\text{EXP}}(K_f,L^{\mathrm{\infty }})=\lambda$ for some $\lambda >0$, then $K_{f^{-1}}$ belongs to $L_{\text{loc}}^p({\mathrm{\Omega }}^{\prime })$ for every $p\in (0,\frac{1}{2\lambda })$. As special case of this result we show that if...

Let us consider a Young's function $\mathrm{\Phi }:{ℝ}^{+}\to {ℝ}^{+}$ satisfying the ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_2$ condition together with its complementary function $\mathrm{\Psi }$, and let us consider the Dirichlet problem for a second order elliptic operator in divergence form: $B$ the unit ball of ${ℝ}^n$. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the $L^{\varphi }$-solvability of the problem, where $L^{\varphi }$ is the Orlicz Space generated by the function $\mathrm{\Phi }$. This means solvability for $f\in L^{\mathrm{\Phi }}$ in the sense of [5], [8], where the case $\mathrm{\Phi }(t)=t^p$ is treated. ...

The Tango bundle $T$ is defined as the pull-back of the Cayley bundle over a smooth quadric $Q_5$ in ${\mathbb{P}}_6$ via a map $f$ existing only in characteristic 2 and factorizing the Frobenius $\phi$. The cohomology of $T$ is computed in terms of $S\otimes C$, ${\phi }^{*}(C)$, ${\text{Sym}}^2(C)$ and $C$, which we handle with Borel-Bott-Weil theorem.

The aim of this work is to prove a chain rule and an $L^1$-lower semicontinuity theorems for integral functional defined on $BV(\mathrm{\Omega })$. Moreover we apply this result in order to obtain new relaxation and $\mathrm{\Gamma }$-convergence result without any coerciveness and any continuity assumption of the integrand $f(x,s,p)$ with respect to the variable $s$.

Let $I=[a,b]\subset ℝ$, let , let $u$ and $v$ be positive functions with $u\in L_{p^{\prime }}(I)$ e $v\in L_q(I)$ and let $T:L_p(I)\to L_q(I)$be the Hardy-type operator given by $$\left(Tf\right)\left(x\right)=v\left(x\right){\int }_a^{x}f\left(t\right)u\left(t\right)dt,x\in I.$$ We show that the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues$\lambda$of the non-linear integral system $$g\left(x\right)=\left(TF\right)\left(x\right){\left(f\left(x\right)\right)}_{\left(p\right)}=\lambda \left(T^{*}{g}_{\left(p\right)}\right))\left(x\right)$$ (where, for example,$t_{(p)}={|t|}^{p-1}\mathrm{sgn}(t)$is given by $$\begin{array}{cc}& \underset{n\to \infty }{lim}n{\widehat{\lambda }}_n\left(T\right)=c_{p,q}{\left({\int }_I{\left(uv\right)}^r{)}^{1/r}dt\right)}^{1/r},\text{for}1<p<q<\infty \hfill \\ & \underset{n\to \infty }{lim}n{\check{\lambda }}_n\left(T\right)=c_{p,q}{\left({\int }_I{\left(uv\right)}^{r}dt\right)}^{1/r}\text{for}1<q<p<\infty \hfill \end{array}$$ Here$r=\frac{1}{p^{\prime }}+\frac{1}{p}$, $c_{p,q}$ is an explicit constant depending only on $p$ and $q$, $\widehat{\lambda }(T)=\max (s{p}_n(T,p,q))$, ${\check{\lambda }}_n(T)=\min (s{p}_n(T,p,q))$ where $s{p}_n(T,p,q)$ stands for the set of all eigenvalues $\lambda$ corresponding to eigenfunctions $g$ with $n$ zeros.

Let $\gamma ,\tau :[a,b]\to R^{k+1}$ be a couple of Lipschitz maps such that ${\gamma }^{\prime }=\pm |{\gamma }^{\prime }|\tau$ almost everywhere in $[a,b]$. Then $\gamma ([a,b])$ is a $C^2$-rectifiable set, namely it may be covered by countably many curves of class $C^2$ embedded in $R^{k+1}$. As a conseguence, projecting the rectifiable carrier of a one-dimensional generalized Gauss graph provides a $C^2$-rectifiable set.

We prove that the $\mathrm{\Gamma }$-limit in $L_{\mu }^{\mathrm{\infty }}$ of a sequence of supremal functionals of the form $F_k(u)={\mu -\mathrm{ess}\sup }_{\mathrm{\Omega }}{f}_k(x,u)$ is itself a supremal functional. We show by a counterexample that, in general, the function which represents the $\mathrm{\Gamma }$-lim $F(\cdot ,B)$ of a sequence of functionals $F_k(u,B)={\mu -\mathrm{ess}\sup }_B{f}_k(x,u)$ can depend on the set $B$ and wegive a necessary and sufficient condition to represent $F$ in the supremal form$F(u,B)={\mu -\mathrm{ess}\sup }_{B}f(x,u)$. As a corollary, if $f$ represents a supremal functional, then the level convex envelope of $f$ represents its weak* lower semicontinuous envelope. ...

We study the irreducibility of the Dirichlet polynomial $P_G(s)$ when $G$ is the alternating group on $p+1$ elements with $p$ prime and we prove that $P_G(s)$ is irreducible for infinitely many choiches of $p$.

Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $D$. Recall that $D$ is Schreier if $D$ is integrally closed and for all $x,y,z\in D\setminus \{0\}$, $x|yz$ implies that $x=r\cdot s$ where $r|y$ e $s|z$. A GCD domain is Schreier. We show that an integral domain $D$ is a GCD domain if and only if (i) for each pair $a,b\in D\setminus \{0\}$, there is a finitely generated ideal $B$ such that $aD\bigcap bD=B_v$ and (ii) every quadratic in $D[X]$ that is a product of two linear polynomials in $K[X]$ is a product of two linear polynomials in $D[X]$. We also show that $D$ is Schreier if and only if every...

Let ${𝕊}^1$ and $𝔻$ be the unit circle and the unit disc in the plane and let us denote by $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ the algebra of the complex-valued continuous functions on ${𝕊}^1$ which are traces of functions in the Sobolev class $W^{1,2}(𝔻)$. On $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ we define the following norm $$\parallel u\parallel ={\parallel u\parallel }_{L^{\mathrm{\infty }}({𝕊}^1)}+{\left({\iint }_{𝔻}{|\nabla \tilde{u}|}^2\right)}^{1/2}$$ where is the harmonic extension of $u$ to $𝔻$. We prove that every isomorphism of the functional algebra $𝒜({𝕊}^1)$ is a quasitsymmetric change of variables on ${𝕊}^1$.

We study the problem of correctors in the framework of the homogenization of linear parabolic equations posed in a heterogeneous medium $\mathrm{\Omega }$ made of two materials. The first one is located in a set $F_{ϵ}$ of cylindrical parallel fibers periodically distributed with a period of size $ϵ$, and the second one is located in the "matrix" $M_{ϵ}=\mathrm{\Omega }\setminus F_{ϵ}$. The ratio between the conductivity coefficients of the two materials is of order $1/{ϵ}^2$. After writing the homogenized problem, we give a corrector result and prove...

The object of this note is to study certain 2-dimensional $\lambda$-adic representations of $Gal(\overline{Q}/Q)$; fixed $p_1,\mathrm{\dots },p_n$ distinct primes, we will consider representations $\rho :G\to G{L}_2(A)$, given by the matrix which are unramified outside $p_1,\mathrm{\dots },p_n,\mathrm{\infty }$ and the residue characteristic of $\lambda$, which are a product of $m$ representations over finite extensions of the ring of Witt vectors of the residue field and which are reducible modulo $\lambda$. In analogy with the theory of the modular representations, we will introduce the analogue of Mazur's Hecke...

We consider the problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-\Delta u=u^{\frac{N+2}{N-2}+\lambda }\hfill & \text{in}\Omega \setminus \epsilon \omega ,\hfill \\ u\&gt;0\hfill & \text{in}\Omega \setminus \epsilon \omega ,\hfill \\ u=0\hfill & \text{on}\partial \left(\Omega \setminus \epsilon \omega \right),\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ and $\omega$ are smooth bounded domains in ${ℝ}^N$, $N\ge 3$, $\epsilon \&gt;0$ and $\lambda \in ℝ.$ We prove that if the size of the hole $\epsilon$ goes to zero and if, simultaneously, the parameter $\lambda$ goes to zero at the appropriate rate, then the problem has a solution which blows up at the origin.

Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of positive integers and let $s\in \mathbb{N}$. We denote by $d^s$ the arithmetic function given by $d^s\left(n\right)={\left(d\left(n\right)\right)}^s$, where $d\left(n\right)$ is the number of positive divisors of $n$. Moreover, for every $\ell ,m\in \mathbb{N}$ we denote by ${\delta }^{s,\ell ,m}\left(n\right)$ the sequence $$\underset{m\text{-times}}{\underbrace{d^s(d^s(...d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )+\ell ...)+\ell )}}=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{d}^s\left(n\right)\hfill & \text{for}m=1,\hfill \\ d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )\hfill & \text{for}m=2,\hfill \\ d^s(d^s(d^s\left(n\right)+\ell )+\ell )\hfill & \text{for}m=3,\hfill \\ ⋮\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ We present classical and nonclassical notes on the sequence ${\left({\delta }^{s,\ell ,m}\left(n\right)\right)}_{m\ge 1}$, where $\ell$, $n$, $s$ are understood as parameters.

The following results are proved: (i) if $\alpha$, $\beta \in {ℝ}^{+}$ and $A$ is a sectorial operator, then the set $\{t^{\alpha }{A}^{\beta }(t+A);t>0\}$ is bounded; (ii) the same set of operators is R-bounded if $A$ is R-sectorial.

This article is devoted to sequences ${(u_n)}_n$ of subharmonic functions in ${ℝ}^N$, with finite order, whose means $J_{u_n}(r)$ (over spheres centered at the origin, with radius r) satisfy such a condition as: $\forall r>0$, $\exists A_r>0$ such that $J_{u_n}(r)\le A_r$, $\forall n\in 𝐍$. The paper investigates under which conditions one may extract a pointwise or uniformly convergent subsequence.

Using the theory of adjoints and pluricanonical adjoints, we construct three nonsingular threefolds, as desingularizations of degree six hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb{P}}^4$, having the irregularities $q_1=q_2=0$ and the following periodical sequences of plurigenera respectively $$(p_g,P_2,P_3,\mathrm{\dots },P_m,\mathrm{\dots })=(0,0,1,0,0,1,\mathrm{\dots }),(0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,\mathrm{\dots }),(0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,\mathrm{\dots }).$$In the Appendix, starting from the second above-mentioned example, we construct a threefold of general type with $q{q}_1=q_2=0,p_g=1$, $P_2=2$ whose m-canonical transformation is birational if and only if $m\ge 11$.

We fix $\mathrm{\ell }$ a prime and let $M$ be an integer such that $\mathrm{\ell }|̸M$; let $f\in S_2({\mathrm{\Gamma }}_1(M{\mathrm{\ell }}^2))$ be a newform supercuspidal of fixed type at $\mathrm{\ell }$ and special at a finite set of primes. For an indefinite quaternion algebra over $Q$, of discriminant dividing the level of $f$, there is a local quaternionic Hecke algebra $T$ associated to $f$. The algebra $T$ acts on a module $M_f$ coming from the cohomology of a Shimura curve. Applying the Taylor-Wiles criterion and a recent Savitt's theorem, $T$ is the universal deformation ring of a global...

Let $X\subset {\mathbb{P}}^N$ be a smooth irreducible non degenerate surface over the complex numbers, $N\ge 4$. We define the projective genus of $X$, denoted by $PG(X)$, as the geometric genus of the singular curve of the projection of $X$ from a general linear subspace of codimension four. Denote by $g(X)$ the sectional genus of $X$. In this paper we conjecture that the only surfaces for which $PG(X)=g(X)-1$ are the del Pezzo surface in ${\mathbb{P}}^4$, in ${\mathbb{P}}^5$ and a conic bundle of degree 5 in ${\mathbb{P}}^4$. We prove that for $N\ge 5$ if $PG(X)=g(X)-1+\lambda$, $\lambda$ a non negative integer, then $g(X)\le \lambda +1+\alpha$ where...

We attempt to generalize conductor degree's results, known in ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, to the case of 0-dimensional schemes of ${\mathbb{P}}^r$. In the first part of this paper, we consider the problem of characterizing the sequences generators's degrees of the conductor which are compatible with a fixed postulation (or Hilbert function) for a set of points in ${\mathbb{P}}^r$ and we determine the conductor degree of every point in a $r$-partial intersection. In addition, we define the separating degree of a point for a 0-dimensional subscheme...

We study the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of the nonlinear equation $$-{\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}u=\lambda k\left(x\right)u^q\pm h\left(x\right)u^r\text{in}\Omega ,u=0\text{on}\partial \Omega$$ where $\Omega \subset {ℝ}^N$, $N\ge 2$, is a regular bounded open domain in ${ℝ}^N$ and the $p\left(x\right)$-Laplacian $${\Delta }_{p\left(x\right)}u:={\text{div}\left(\right|\nabla u|}^{p\left(x\right)-2}\nabla u)$$ is introduced for a continuous function $p\left(x\right)>1$ defined on $\Omega$. The positive parameter $\lambda$ induces the bifurcation phenomena. The study of the equation (Q) needs generalized Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. In this paper, under suitable assumptions, we show that some variational methods still work. We use them to prove the existence of positive...

The paper deals with the existence of a Kneser solution of the $n$-th order nonlinear differential inclusion $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill x^{\left(n\right)}\left(t\right)\in -A_1(t,x\left(t\right),...,x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right))x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right)-...-A_n(t,x\left(t\right),...,& x^{(n-1)}\left(t\right))x\left(t\right)\\ & \text{for}\text{a.a.}t\in [a,\infty ),\end{array}$$ where $a\in (0,\infty )$, and $A_i:[a,\infty )\times {ℝ}^n\to ℝ$, $i=1,...,n,$ are upper-Carathéodory mappings. The derived result is finally illustrated by the third order Kneser problem.

We investigate the following quasilinear and singular problem, $$\text{t}o2.7cm\left\{\begin{array}{cc}-{\Delta }_{p}u=\frac{\lambda }{u^{\delta }}+u^q\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ {u|}_{\partial \Omega }=0,u\&gt;0\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.\text{t}o2.7cm\text{(P)}$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded domain with smooth boundary, $1\&lt;p\&lt;\infty$, $p-1\&lt;q\le p^{*}-1$, $\lambda \&gt;0$, and $0\&lt;\delta \&lt;1$. As usual, $p^{*}=\frac{Np}{N-p}$ if $1\&lt;p\&lt;N$, $p^{*}\in (p,\infty )$ is arbitrarily large if $p=N$, and $p^{*}=\infty$ if $p\&gt;N$. We employ variational methods in order to show the existence of at least two distinct (positive) solutions of problem (P) in $W_0^{1,p}\left(\Omega \right)$. While following an approach due to Ambrosetti-Brezis-Cerami, we need to prove two new results of separate interest: a strong comparison principle...

We consider an SPDE in a Hilbert space $H$ of the form $dX(t)=(AX(t)+b(X(t)))dt+\sigma (X(t))dW(t)$, $X(0)=x\in H$ and the corresponding transition semigroup $P_{t}f(x)=𝔼[f(X(t,x))]$. We define the infinitesimal generator $\overline{L}$ of $P_t$ through the Laplace transform of $P_t$ as in [1]. Then we consider the differential operator $L\phi =\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{Tr}[\sigma (x){\sigma }^{*}(x)D^2\phi ]+⟨b(x),D\phi ⟩$ defined on a suitable set $V$ of regular functions. Our main result is that if $V$ is a core for $\overline{L}$, then there exists a unique solution of the martingale problem defined in terms of $L$. Application to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation and to some regular...

Let $f(\cdot ,t)$ be the probability density function representing the solution of Kac's Boltzmann-like equation at time $t$, with initial data $f_0$, and let $g_{\sigma }$ be the Gaussian density with zero mean and variance ${\sigma }^2$, ${\sigma }^2$ being the value of the second moment of $f_0$. Henry McKean Jr. put forward the conjecture that the total variation distance between $f(\cdot ,t)$ and $g_{\sigma }$ goes to zero, as $t\to +\mathrm{\infty }$, with an exponential rate equal to $-1/4$. This lecture aims at explaining the main efforts made to a view to validating this conjecture,...

We consider the Kantorovich and the Durrmeyer type modifications of the generalized Favard operators and we prove inverse approximation theorems for functions $f$ such that $w_{2m}f\in L^p(R)$, where $1\le p\le \mathrm{\infty }$ and $w_{2m}(x)={(1+x^{2m})}^{-1}$, $m\in N_0$.

The range of the bigenus $P_2$ is one of the unsolved problems concerning smooth complex projective regular threefolds of general type with $p_g=0$: The examples in the literature have $P_2\le 5$. In the present paper we present a non-singular threefold with $p_g=q_1=q_2=0$; $P_2=6$; the bicanonical map is stably birational.

We introduce a new class of spaces, called Hausdorff modulo $ℐ$ or $T_2$ mod $ℐ$ spaces with respect to an ideal $ℐ$ which contains the class of all Hausdorff spaces. Characterizations of these spaces are given and their properties are investigated. The concept of compactness modulo an ideal $ℐ$ was introduced by Newcomb in 1967 and studied by Hamlett and Jankovic in 1990. We study the properties of $ℐ$-compact subsets in Hausdorff modulo $ℐ$ spaces and generalize some results of Hamlett and Jankovic....

We consider the Grassmannian $𝔾r(k,n)$ of $(k+1)$-dimensional linear subspaces of $V_n=H^0({\mathbb{P}}^1,{𝒪}_{{\mathbb{P}}_1}(n))$. We define ${𝔛}_{k,r,d}$ as the classifying space of the $k$-dimensional linear systems of degree $n$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^1$, whose bases realize a fixed number $r$ of polynomial relations of fixed degree $d$, say $r$ syzygies of degree $d$. Firstly, we compute the dimension of ${𝔛}_{k,r,d}$. In the second part we make a link between ${𝔛}_{k,r,d}$ and the Poncelet varieties. In particular, we prove that the existence of linear syzygies implies the existence of singularities on the...

We use notations: $[x,y]=[x_{,1}y]$ and $[x_{,k+1}y]$ e $[[x_{,k}y],y]$. We consider groups generated by $x$, $y$ satisfying relations $x=[x_{,n}y],y=[y_{,n}x]$ or $[x,y]=[x_{,n}y]$, $[y,x]=[y_{,n}x]$. We call groups of the first type mep-groups and of the second type nmep-groups. We show many properties and examples of mep- and nmep-groups. We prove that if $p$ is a prime then the group $S{l}_2(p)$ is a nmep-group. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for metacyclic group to be a nmep-group and we show that nmep-groups with presentation $⟨x,y\mid [x,y]=[x_{,2}y],[y,x]=[y_{,2}x],x^n,y^m⟩$ are finite.

In this paper, we consider solutions to the following chemotaxis system with general sensitivity $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\tau u_t=\Delta u-\nabla ·\left(u\nabla \chi \left(v\right)\right)\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ \eta v_t=\Delta v-v+u\text{in}\Omega \times (0,\infty ),\hfill \\ {\displaystyle \frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu }=0\text{on}\partial \Omega \times (0,\infty ).}\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Here, $\tau$ and $\eta$ are positive constants, $\chi$ is a smooth function on $(0,\infty )$ satisfying ${\chi }^{\text{'}}(·)>0$ and $\Omega$ is a bounded domain of ${𝐑}^n$ ($n\ge 2$). It is well known that the chemotaxis system with direct sensitivity ($\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}v$, ${\chi }_0>0$) has blowup solutions in the case where $n\ge 2$. On the other hand, in the case where $\chi \left(v\right)={\chi }_{0}logv$ with $0<{\chi }_0\ll 1$, any solution to the system exists globally in time and is bounded. We present a sufficient condition for the boundedness...

Let $\mathrm{\Delta }$ be thick affine building of type ${\tilde{G}}_2$ the Laplace operators of $\mathrm{\Delta }$; associated with a pair $(y_1,y_2)$; is the Poisson transform of a suitable finitely additive measure on the maximal boundary $\mathrm{\Omega }$ of $\mathrm{\Delta }$; by using only the combinatorial structure of $\mathrm{\Delta }$.

In this article, we study the existence of nontrivial weak solutions for the following boundary value problem: $$-{\Delta }_{\gamma }u=f(x,u)\text{in}\Omega ,u=0\text{on}\partial \Omega ,$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in ${ℝ}^N$, $\Omega \cap \{x_j=0\}\ne \varnothing$ for some $j$, ${\Delta }_{\gamma }$ is a subelliptic linear operator of the type $${\Delta }_{\gamma }:=\sum _{j=1}^N{\partial }_{x_j}\left({\gamma }_j^2{\partial }_{x_j}\right),{\partial }_{x_j}:=\frac{\partial }{\partial x_j},N\ge 2,$$ where $\gamma \left(x\right)=({\gamma }_1\left(x\right),{\gamma }_2\left(x\right),\cdots ,{\gamma }_N\left(x\right))$ satisfies certain homogeneity conditions and degenerates at the coordinate hyperplanes and the nonlinearity $f(x,\xi )$ is of subcritical growth and does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz (AR) condition.
