Local structure of the zero-sets of differentiable mappings and application to bifurcation theory.
A remarkable theorem of Mazur and Orlicz which generalizes the Hahn-Banach theorem is here put in a convenient form through an equality which will be referred to as the Mazur-Orlicz equality. Applications of the Mazur-Orlicz equality to lower barycenters for means, separation principles, Lax-Milgram lemma in reflexive Banach spaces, and monotone variational inequalities are provided.
In this paper we consider the Neumann problem involving a critical Sobolev exponent. We investigate a combined effect of the coefficient of the critical Sobolev nonlinearity and the mean curvature on the existence and nonexistence of solutions.
Modification of behaviour in response to changes in the environment or ambient conditions, based on memory, is typical of the human and, possibly, many animal species.One obvious example of such adaptivity is, for instance, switching to a safer behaviour when in danger, from either a predator or an infectious disease. In human society such switching to safe behaviour is particularly apparent during epidemics. Mathematically, such changes of behaviour...
