In this paper we prove the existence of a solution for a problem whose model is: with $f(x)$ in $L^1(\mathrm{\Omega })$ and $\sigma$, $\gamma >0$.

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.

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.

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 $\mathbb{N}$ 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.

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...

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...

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 $I=[a,b]\subset ℝ$, 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.

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...

Let $\mathrm{T}$ be the family of all typically real functions, i.e. functions that are analytic in the unit disk $\Delta :=\{z\in ℂ:|z|<1\}$, normalized by $f\left(0\right)=f^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)-1=0$ and such that Im $z$ Im $f\left(z\right)$ $\ge 0$ for $z\in \Delta$. Moreover, let us denote: ${\mathrm{T}}^{\left(2\right)}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\left(z\right)=-f(-z)\text{for}z\in \Delta \}$ and ${\mathrm{T}}^{M,g}:=\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\prec Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}\cap \mathrm{S}$ and $\mathrm{S}$ consists of all analytic functions, normalized and univalent in $\Delta$.We investigate  classes in which the subordination is replaced with the majorization and the function $g$ is typically real but does not necessarily univalent, i.e. classes $\{f\in \mathrm{T}:f\ll Mg\text{in}\Delta \}$, where $M>1$, $g\in \mathrm{T}$, which we denote...

A graph $G$ is called $\{H_1,H_2,\cdots ,H_k\}$-free if $G$ contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to any graph $H_i$, $1\le i\le k$. We define $${\sigma }_k=min\left\{\sum _{i=1}^{k}d\left(v_i\right):\{v_1,\cdots ,v_k\}\text{is}\text{an}\text{independent}\text{set}\text{of}\text{vertices}\text{in}G\right\}.$$ In this paper, we prove that (1) if $G$ is a connected $\{K_{1,4},K_{1,4}+e\}$-free graph of order $n$ and ${\sigma }_3\left(G\right)\ge n-1$, then $G$ is traceable, (2) if $G$ is a 2-connected $\{K_{1,4},K_{1,4}+e\}$-free graph of order $n$ and $|N\left(x_1\right)\cup N\left(x_2\right)|+|N\left(y_1\right)\cup N\left(y_2\right)|\ge n-1$ for any two distinct pairs of non-adjacent vertices $\{x_1,x_2\}$, $\{y_1,y_2\}$ of $G$, then $G$ is traceable, i.e., $G$ has a Hamilton path, where $K_{1,4}+e$ is a graph obtained by joining a pair of non-adjacent vertices in a $K_{1,4}$.

We investigate some nonlinear elliptic problems of the form $${\Delta }^{2}v+\sigma \left(x\right)v=h(x,v)\text{in}\Omega ,v=\Delta v=0\text{on}\partial \Omega ,\left(\mathrm{P}\right)$$ where $\Omega$ is a regular bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$, $N\ge 2$, $\sigma \left(x\right)$ a positive function in $L^{\infty }\left(\Omega \right)$, and the nonlinearity $h(x,t)$ is indefinite. We prove the existence of solutions to the problem (P) when the function $h(x,t)$ is asymptotically linear at infinity by using variational method but without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition. Also, we consider the case when the nonlinearities are superlinear and subcritical.

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 author proved in 2018 that if $G$ is an open subset of a Hilbert space, $f_1,f_2:G\to ℝ$ continuous functions and $\omega$ a nontrivial modulus such that $f_1\le f_2$, $f_1$ is locally semiconvex with modulus $\omega$ and $f_2$ is locally semiconcave with modulus $\omega$, then there exists $f\in C_{\text{loc}}^{1,\omega }\left(G\right)$ such that $f_1\le f\le f_2$. This is a generalization of Ilmanen’s lemma (which deals with linear modulus and functions on an open subset of ${ℝ}^n$). Here we extend the mentioned result from Hilbert spaces to some superreflexive spaces, in particular to $L^p$ spaces, $p\in [2,\infty )$. We...

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 show the existence of weak solutions in the extended sense of the Cauchy problem for the cubic fourth order nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the initial data $u_0\in X$, where $X\in \{M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right),H^{\sigma }\left(𝕋\right),H^{s_1}\left(ℝ\right)+H^{s_2}\left(𝕋\right)\}$ and $q\in [1,2]$, $s\ge 0$, or $\sigma \ge 0$, or $s_2\ge s_1\ge 0$. Moreover, if $M_{2,q}^s\left(ℝ\right)\hookrightarrow L^3\left(ℝ\right)$, or if $\sigma \ge \frac{1}{6}$, or if $s_1\ge \frac{1}{6}$ and $s_2>\frac{1}{2}$ we show that the Cauchy problem is unconditionally wellposed in $X$. Similar results hold true for all higher order nonlinear Schrödinger equations and mixed order NLS due to a factorization property of the corresponding phase factors. For the proof we employ...

Let $X$ be a proper, smooth, geometrically connected curve over a $p$-adic field $k$. Lichtenbaum proved that there exists a perfect duality: $$\text{Br}\left(X\right)\times \text{Pic}\left(X\right)\to \mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$$ between the Brauer and the Picard group of $X$, from which he deduced the existence of an injection of $\text{Br}\left(X\right)$ in ${\displaystyle \prod _{P\in X}\text{Br}\left(k_P\right)}$ where $P\in X$ and $k_P$ denotes the residual field of the point $P$. The aim of this paper is to prove that if $G=\tilde{G}$ is an $X_{et}$- scheme of semi-simple simply connected groups (s.s.s.c groups), then we can deduce from Lichtenbaum’s results...

We address the problem of the existence of finite energy solitary waves for nonlinear Klein-Gordon or Schrödinger type equations $\Delta u-u+f\left(u\right)=0$ in ${ℝ}^N$, $u\in H^1\left({ℝ}^N\right)$, where $N\ge 2$. Under natural conditions on the nonlinearity $f$, we prove the existence of $\mathrm{𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑛𝑜𝑛𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠}$ in any dimension $N\ge 2$. Our result complements earlier works of Bartsch and Willem $(N=4\mathrm{𝚘𝚛}N\ge 6)$ and Lorca-Ubilla $(N=5)$ where solutions invariant under the action of $O\left(2\right)\times O(N-2)$ are constructed. In contrast, the solutions we construct are invariant under the action of $D_k\times O(N-2)$ where $D_k\subset O\left(2\right)$ denotes the dihedral...

Let $G=(V_G,E_G)$ be a graph and let $N_G\left[v\right]$ denote the closed neighbourhood of a vertex $v$ in $G$. A function $f:V_G\to \{-1,0,1\}$ is said to be a balanced dominating function (BDF) of $G$ if ${\sum }_{u\in N_G\left[v\right]}f\left(u\right)=0$ holds for each vertex $v\in V_G$. The balanced domination number of $G$, denoted by ${\gamma }_b\left(G\right)$, is defined as $${\gamma }_b\left(G\right)=max\left\{\sum _{v\in V_G}f\left(v\right):f\text{is}\text{a}\text{BDF}\text{of}G\right\}.$$ A graph $G$ is called $d$-balanced if ${\gamma }_b\left(G\right)=0$. The novel concept of balanced domination for graphs is introduced. Some upper bounds on the balanced domination number are established, in which one is the best possible bound and the rest are sharp, all the...
