Skolem–Mahler–Lech type theorems and Picard–Vessiot theory

Michael Wibmer (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that three problems involving linear difference equations with rational function coefficients are essentially equivalent. The first problem is the generalization of the classical Skolem–Mahler–Lech theorem to rational function coefficients. The second problem is whether or not for a given linear difference equation there exists a Picard–Vessiot extension inside the ring of sequences. The third problem is a certain special case of the dynamical Mordell–Lang conjecture. This allows us to deduce...

Solution of a Cauchy-Jensen stability Ulam type problem

John Michael Rassias (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

In 1978 P. M. Gruber (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 245 (1978), 263–277) imposed the following general problem or Ulam type problem: “Suppose a mathematical object satisfies a certain property approximately. Is it then possible to approximate this objects by objects, satisfying the property exactly?" The afore-mentioned problem of P. M. Gruber is more general than the following problem imposed by S. M. Ulam in 1940 (Intersci, Publ., Inc., New York 1960): “Give conditions in order for a linear mapping...
