A classical result of K. L. Chung and W. Feller deals with the partial sums S_k arising in a fair coin-tossing game. If N_n is the number of "positive" terms among S_1, S_2, ..., S_n then the quantity P(N_{2n} = 2r) takes an elegant form. We lift the restriction on an even number of tosses and give a simple expression for P(N_{2n+1} = r), r = 0, 1, 2, ..., 2n+1. We get to this ansatz by adaptating the Feynman–Kac methodology.

The existence of smooth but nowhere analytic functions is well-known (du Bois-Reymond [Math. Ann. 21 (1883), no. 1, pp. 109–117]). However, smooth solutions to the heat equation are usually analytic in the space variable. It is also well-known (Kowalevsky [Crelle 80 (1875), pp. 1–32]) that a solution to the heat equation may not be time-analytic at t=0 even if the initial function is real analytic. Recently, it was shown by Dong and Pan [J Math. Fluid Mech. 22 (2020), no. 4, Paper No. 53]; Dong and Zhang [J. Funct. Anal. 279 (2020), no. 4, Paper No. 108563]; Zhang [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 148 (2020), no. 4, pp. 1665–1670] that solutions to the heat equation in the whole space, or in the half space with zero boundary value, are analytic in time under an essentially optimal growth condition. In this paper, we show that time analyticity is not always true in domains with general boundary conditions or without suitable growth conditions. More precisely, we construct two bounded solutions to the heat equation in the half plane which are nowhere analytic in time. In addition, for any \delta >0, we find a solution to the heat equation on the whole plane, with exponential growth of order 2+\delta, which is nowhere analytic in time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we obtain the existence of at least two standing waves (and homoclinic solutions) for a class of time-dependent (and time-independent) discrete nonlinear Schrödinger systems or equations. The novelties of the paper are as follows. (1) Our nonlinearities are composed of three mixed growth terms, i.e., the nonlinearities are composed of sub-linear, asymptotically-linear and super-linear terms. (2) Our nonlinearities may be sign-changing. (3) Our results can also be applied to the cases of concave-convex nonlinear terms. (4) Our results can be applied to a wide range of mathematical models.

The chord log-Minkowski problem asks for necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite Borel measure on the unit sphere so that it is the cone-chord measure of a convex body. The chord log-Minkowski problem has been extensively studied by Guo, Xi, and Zhao [Math. Ann. (2023), DOI 10.1007/s00208-023-02721-8]; Lutwak, Xi, Yang, and Zhang [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. (2023), DOI 10.1002/cpa.22190]; Qin [Adv. Math. 427 (2023), Paper No. 109132]. In this paper, we solve the chord log-Minkowski problem when q\in (0,1), without symmetry assumptions.

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemann surface, h be a positive smooth function on M. It is well known that the functional \begin{equation*} J(u)=\frac {1}{2}\int _M|\nabla u|^2dv_g+8\pi \int _M udv_g-8\pi \log \int _Mhe^{u}dv_g \end{equation*} achieves its minimum under Ding-Jost-Li-Wang condition. This result was generalized to nonnegative h by Yang and the author. Later, Sun and Zhu [ Existence of Kazdan-Warner equation with sign-changing prescribed function , arXiv: 2012.12840 , 2020] showed the Ding-Jost-Li-Wang condition is also sufficient when h changes sign, which was reproved later by Wang and Yang [J. Funct. Anal. 282 (2022), Paper No. 109449] and Li and Xu [Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 61 (2022), Paper No. 143] respectively using a flow approach. The aim of this note is to give a new proof of Sun and Zhu's result. Our proof is based on the variational method and the maximum principle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we develop a new method to obtain the accessibility of stochastic partial differential equations driven by additive pure jump noise. An important novelty of this paper is to allow the driving noises to be degenerate. As an application, for the first time, we obtain the accessibility of a class of stochastic equations driven by pure jump (possibly degenerate) noise, including stochastic 2D Navier-Stokes equations, stochastic Burgers equations, stochastic singular p-Laplace equations, and stochastic fast diffusion equations. As a further application, we establish the ergodicity of stochastic singular p-Laplace equations and stochastic fast diffusion equations driven by additive pure jump noise, and we remark that the driving noises could be Compound Poisson processes or Lévy processes with heavy tails.

Frieze patterns have been introduced by Coxeter [Acta Arith. 18 (1971), pp. 297–310] in the 1970's and have recently attracted renewed interest due to their close connection with Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras. Frieze patterns can be interpreted as assignments of values to the diagonals of a triangulated polygon satisfying certain conditions for crossing diagonals (Ptolemy relations). Weak friezes, as introduced by Çanakçı and Jørgensen [Adv. in Appl. Math. 131 (2021), Paper No. 102253], are generalizing this concept by allowing to glue dissected polygons so that the Ptolemy relations only have to be satisfied for crossings involving one of the gluing diagonals. To any frieze pattern one can associate a symmetric matrix using a triangular fundamental domain of the frieze pattern in the upper and lower half of the matrix and putting zeroes on the diagonal. Broline, Crowe and Isaacs [Geometriae Dedicata 3 (1974), pp. 171–176] have found a formula for the determinants of these matrices and their work has later been generalized in various directions by other authors. These frieze pattern determinants are the main focus of our paper. As our main result we show that this determinant behaves well with respect to gluing weak friezes: the determinant is the product of the determinants for the pieces glued, up to a scalar factor coming from the gluing diagonal. Then we give several applications of this result, showing that formulas from the literature, obtained by Broline-Crowe-Isaacs, Baur-Marsh [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 119 (2012), pp. 1110–1122], Bessenrodt-Holm-Jørgensen [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 123 (2014), pp. 30–42] and Maldonado [ Frieze matrices and infinite frieze patterns with coefficients , Preprint, arXiv: 2207.04120 , 2022] can all be obtained as consequences of our result.

In this paper we prove a global spacetime bound for the quintic, nonlinear wave equation in three dimensions. This bound depends on the L_{t}^{\infty } L_{x}^{2} and L_{t}^{\infty } \dot {H}^{2} norms of the solution to the quintic problem. The main motivation for this paper is the use of an interaction Morawetz estimate for the nonlinear wave equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document is a retraction notice published in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society. The author, Khadime Salame, apologizes to the mathematical community and withdraws three papers related to fixed point theory. The papers attempted to address the question of whether left amenable semitopological semigroups have a certain fixed point property, but each paper contains errors. The author acknowledges these errors and suggests that Lau's conjecture should be regarded as an open question. The author hopes that this question will be resolved in the future.

In this paper, we make the first attempt to figure out the differences on Hölder regularity in time of solutions and conserved physical quantities between the ideal electron magnetohydrodynamic equations concerning Hall term and the incompressible Euler equations involving convection term. It is shown that the regularity in time of magnetic field B is C_{t}^{\frac {\alpha }2} provided it belongs to L_{t}^{\infty } C_{x}^{\alpha } for any \alpha >0, its energy is C_{t}^{\frac {2\alpha }{2-\alpha }} as long as B belongs to L_{t}^{\infty } \dot {B}^{\alpha }_{3,\infty } for any 0<\alpha <1 and its magnetic helicity is C_{t}^{\frac {2\alpha +1}{2-\alpha }} supposing B belongs to L_{t}^{\infty } \dot {B}^{\alpha }_{3,\infty } for any 0<\alpha <\frac 12, which are quite different from the classical incompressible Euler equations.

In this paper, we study long time behavior of solution to the quantum Zakharov system in two dimensions. We construct a small global solution to the quantum Zakharov system which scatters to a given free solution by using space-time resonance method developed by Gustafson-Nakanishi-Tsai [Commun. Contemp. Math. 11 (2009), pp. 657–707] and Germain-Masmoudi-Shatah [Int. Math. Res. Not. IMRN 3 (2009), 414–432; J. Math. Pures Appl. (9) 97 (2012), pp. 505–543] etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We continue the program first initiated by Laptev, Schimmer, and Takhtajan [Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), pp. 288–305] and develop a modification of the technique introduced in that paper to study the spectral asymptotics, namely the Riesz means and eigenvalue counting functions, of functional difference operators H_0 = \mathcal {F}^{-1} M_{\cosh (\xi)} \mathcal {F} with potentials of the form W(x) = \left \lvert {x} \right \rvert ^pe^{\left \lvert {x} \right \rvert ^\beta } for either \beta = 0 and p > 0 or \beta \in (0, 2] and p \geq 0. We provide a new method for studying general potentials which includes the potentials studied by Laptev, Schimmer, and Takhtajan [Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), pp. 288–305] and [J. Math. Phys. 60 (2019), p. 103505]. The proof involves dilating the variance of the gaussian defining the coherent state transform in a controlled manner preserving the expected asymptotics.

In this paper, we consider k-curvature equations \sigma _k(\kappa [M_u])=f(x,u,\nabla u) subject to (k+1)-convex Dirichlet boundary data instead of affine Dirichlet data of Sheng, Urbas, and Wang [Duke Math. J. 123 (2004), pp. 235–264]. By using the crucial concavity inequality for Hessian operator of Lu [Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 62 (2023), p.23], we derive Pogorelov estimates of semi-convex admissible solutions for these k-curvature equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, given a prescribed measure on \mathbb {S}^1 whose density is bounded and positive, we establish a uniform diameter estimate for solutions to the planar L_p dual Minkowski problem when 0

Let X be a complex Banach space, and denote by \mathcal {B}(X) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. Let C,D\in \mathcal {B} \left (X\right) be fixed operators. In this paper, we characterize linear, continuous and bijective maps \varphi and \psi on \mathcal {B}\left (X\right) for which there exist invertible operators T_0, W_0 \in \mathcal { B}(X) such that \varphi (T_0), \psi (W_0) \in \mathcal {B}(X) are both invertible, having the property that \varphi \left (A\right) \psi \left (B\right) =D in \mathcal {B}(X) whenever AB=C in \mathcal {B}(X). As a corollary, we deduce the form of linear, bijective and continuous maps \varphi on \mathcal {B}(X) having the property that \varphi \left (A\right) \varphi \left (B\right) =D in \mathcal {B}(X) whenever AB=C.

As a consequence, we prove that an indefinite complex hyperbolic space and an indefinite complex projective space do not share a common complex submanifold with induced metrics, answering a question raised in Cheng et al.

In this paper, we investigate several Liouville-type theorems related to k-Hessian equations with non-linear gradient terms. More specifically, we study non-negative solutions to S_k[D^2u]\ge h(u,|Du|) in \mathbb {R}^n. The results depend on some qualified growth conditions of h at infinity. A Liouville-type result to subsolutions of a prototype equation S_k[D^2u]=f(u)+g(u)\varpi (|Du|) is investigated. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a non-trivial non-negative entire solution to S_k[D^2u]=f(u)+g(u)|Du|^q for 0\le q
