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.

We are studying topological properties of the Julia set of the map F(z, p) = *** of the complex projective plane PC² to itself. We show a relation between this rational function and an uncountable family of "paper folding" plane filling curves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

We show that a relative entropy condition recently shown by Leger and Vasseur to imply uniqueness and stable L² dependence on initial data of Lax 1- or n-shock solutions of an n X n system of hyperbolic conservation laws with convex entropy implies Lopatinski stability in the sense of Majda. This means in particular that Leger and Vasseur's relative entropy condition represents a considerable improvement over the standard entropy condition of decreasing shock strength and increasing entropy along forward Hugoniot curves, which, in a recent example exhibited by Barker, Freistühler and Zum-brun, was shown to fail to imply Lopatinski stability, even for systems with convex entropy. This observation bears also on the parallel question of exis-tence, at least for small BV or Hs perturbations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]

The principal tool of computation used in this paper is classical Gaussian quadrature on the interval [0,1], which happens to be particularly effective here. Explicit expressions are found for the derivatives of the Ramanujan integral in question, and it is proved that the latter is completely monotone on (0,\infty). As a byproduct, known series expansions for incomplete gamma functions are examined with regard to their convergence properties. The paper also pays attention to another famous integral, the Euler integral — better known as the gamma function — revitalizing a largely neglected part of the function, the part corresponding to negative values of the argument, which plays a prominent role in our work.

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 find some conditions under which a sequence \{\alpha (n)\} will satisfy the Laguerre inequality of any order asymptotically. Using this method, we prove that for any r and some constant c, the Maclaurin coefficients \gamma (n) of the Riemann Xi-function satisfy the Laguerre inequality of order r when n>cr^3, which provides a necessary condition for the Riemann hypothesis. We also prove that the partition function satisfies the Laguerre inequality of order r\geq 5 when n\geq 6r^4. As a consequence, it gives an affirmative answer to Wagner's conjecture on the threshold for the Laguerre inequalities of order no more than 10 for the partition function. Moreover, motivated by the study of Craven and Csordas on the complete monotonicity of the Maclaurin coefficients of entire functions in Laguerre-Pólya class, we consider the complete monotonicity of the sequences \{\alpha (n)\}. We give the criteria for the asymptotically complete monotonicity of the sequence \{\alpha (n)\} and \{\log \alpha (n)\}, respectively. With this criteria, we show that (-1)^r \Delta ^r \gamma (n)>0 for n>ce^{r^3} and (-1)^{r-1} \Delta ^r \log \gamma (n)>0 for n>cr^2. Furthermore, we propose some open problems.

For the quadratic family f_{c}(z) = z^2+c with c in a hyperbolic component of the Mandelbrot set, it is known that every point in the Julia set moves holomorphically. In this paper we give a uniform derivative estimate of such a motion when the parameter c converges to a parabolic parameter {\hat {c}} radially; in other words, it stays within a bounded Poincaré distance from the internal ray that lands on {\hat {c}}. We also show that the motion of each point in the Julia set is uniformly one-sided Hölder continuous at {\hat {c}} with exponent depending only on the petal number. This paper is a parabolic counterpart of the authors' paper "From Cantor to semi-hyperbolic parameters along external rays" [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 372 (2019), pp. 7959–7992].

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.

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

This paper is the second in a series of four papers aiming to describe the (almost integral) Chow ring of \overline {\mathcal {M}}_3, the moduli stack of stable curves of genus 3. In this paper, we introduce the moduli stack \widetilde {\mathcal {H}}_g^r of hyperelliptic A_r-stable curves and generalize the theory of hyperelliptic stable curves to hyperelliptic A_r-stable curves. In particular, we prove that \widetilde {\mathcal {H}}_g^r is a smooth algebraic stack that can be described using cyclic covers of twisted curves of genus 0 and it embeds in \widetilde {\mathcal M}_g^r (the moduli stack of A_r-stable curves) as the closure of the moduli stack of smooth hyperelliptic curves.

In this paper, we study one-dimensional hyperbolic Anderson models (HAM) driven by space-time pure-jump Lévy white noise in a finite-variance setting. Motivated by recent active research on limit theorems for stochastic partial differential equations driven by Gaussian noises, we present the first study in this Lévy setting. In particular, we first establish the spatial ergodicity of the solution and then a quantitative central limit theorem (CLT) for the spatial averages of the solution to HAM in both Wasserstein distance and Kolmogorov distance, with the same rate of convergence. To achieve the first goal (i.e. spatial ergodicity), we exploit some basic properties of the solution and apply a Poincaré inequality in the Poisson setting, which requires delicate moment estimates on the Malliavin derivatives of the solution. Such moment estimates are obtained in a soft manner by observing a natural connection between the Malliavin derivatives of HAM and a HAM with Dirac delta velocity. To achieve the second goal (i.e. CLT), we need two key ingredients: (i) a univariate second-order Poincaré inequality in the Poisson setting that goes back to Last, Peccati, and Schulte (Probab. Theory Related Fields, 2016) and has been recently improved by Trauthwein (arXiv:2212.03782); (ii) aforementioned moment estimates of Malliavin derivatives up to second order. We also establish a corresponding functional CLT by (a) showing the convergence in finite-dimensional distributions and (b) verifying Kolmogorov's tightness criterion. Part (a) is made possible by a linearization trick and the univariate second-order Poincaré inequality, while part (b) follows from a standard moment estimate with an application of Rosenthal's inequality.

A paper of Reeder–Yu [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 27 (2014), pp. 437–477] gives a construction of epipelagic supercuspidal representations of p-adic groups. The input for this construction is a pair (\lambda, \chi) where \lambda is a stable vector in a certain representation coming from a Moy–Prasad filtration, and \chi is a character of the additive group of the residue field. We say two such pairs are equivalent if the resulting supercuspidal representations are isomorphic. In this paper we describe the equivalence classes of such pairs. As an application, we give a classification of the simple supercuspidal representations for split adjoint groups. Finally, under an assumption about unramified base change, we describe properties of the Langlands parameters associated to these simple supercuspidals, showing that they have trivial L-functions and minimal Swan conductors, and showing that each of these simple supercuspidals lies in a singleton L-packet.

This paper is part of a general program in complex dynamics to understand parameter spaces of transcendental maps with finitely many singular values. The simplest families of such functions have two asymptotic values and no critical values. These families, up to affine conjugation, depend on two complex parameters. Understanding their parameter spaces is key to understanding families with more asymptotic values, just as understanding quadratic polynomials was for rational maps more generally. The first such families studied were the one-dimensional slices of the exponential family, \exp (z) + a, and the tangent family \lambda \tan z. The exponential case exhibited phenomena not seen for rational maps: Cantor bouquets in both the dynamic and parameter spaces, and no bounded hyperbolic components. The tangent case, with its two finite asymptotic values \pm \lambda i, is closer to the rational case, a kind of infinite degree version of the latter. In this paper, we consider a general family that interpolates between \exp (z) + a and \lambda \tan z. Our new family has two asymptotic values and a one-dimensional slice for which one of the asymptotic values is constrained to be a pole, the "polar asymptotic value" of the title. We show how the dynamic and parameter planes for this slice exhibit behavior that is a surprisingly delicate interplay between that of the \exp (z) + a and \lambda \tan z families.

In this paper, we focus on the nonlinear least squares problem: \min _{{\boldsymbol {x}}\in \mathbb {H}^d}\|\lvert A{\boldsymbol {x}}\rvert -{\boldsymbol {b}}\| where A\in \mathbb {H}^{m\times d}, {\boldsymbol {b}}\in \mathbb {R}^m with \mathbb {H}\in \left \{\mathbb {R},\mathbb {C}\right \} and consider the uniqueness and stability of solutions. This problem arises in applications such as phase retrieval and absolute value rectification neural networks. While several results have been developed to characterize the uniqueness and stability of solutions when {\boldsymbol {b}}=\lvert A{\boldsymbol {x}}_0\rvert for some {\boldsymbol {x}}_0\in \mathbb {H}^d, no existing results address the case where {\boldsymbol {b}} is arbitrary. In this paper, we investigate the uniqueness and stability of solutions for the more general case where {\boldsymbol {b}} is not necessarily equal to \lvert A{\boldsymbol {x}}_0\rvert for any {\boldsymbol {x}}_0\in \mathbb {H}^d. We prove that for any matrix A\in \mathbb {H}^{m\times d}, there is always a vector {\boldsymbol {b}}\in \mathbb {R}^m for which the solution to the nonlinear least squares problem is not unique. However, we show that such "bad" vectors {\boldsymbol {b}} are negligible in practice; specifically, if {\boldsymbol {b}}\in \mathbb {R}_{ }^m does not lie in some measure zero set, then the solution is unique. Furthermore, we establish certain conditions under which the solution is guaranteed to be unique. Regarding the stability of solutions, we prove that the solution is not uniformly stable. However, if we restrict the vectors {\boldsymbol {b}} to a convex set where the solution to the least squares problem is unique, then the solution becomes stable. To the best of our knowledge, our results represent the first theoretical results of the uniqueness and stability of solutions for the nonlinear least squares problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we study parameter deformations of matrix valued orthogonal polynomials. These deformations are built on the use of certain matrix valued operators which are symmetric with respect to the matrix valued inner product defined by the orthogonality weight. We show that the recurrence coefficients associated with these operators satisfy generalizations of the non-Abelian lattice equations. We provide a Lax pair formulation for these equations, and an example of deformed Hermite-type matrix valued polynomials is discussed in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper continues investigation of narrow operators on complex vector lattices started in a recent paper by Dzhusoeva, Huang, Pliev and Sukochev. We answer their questions and strengthen one of their main results by proving that the extension T_{\Bbb {C}}\colon E_{\Bbb {C}}\to F_{\Bbb {C}} of a linear operator T \colon E \to F acting from a Dedekind complete real Riesz space E to a real Banach lattice F to their complexifications is narrow if and only if T is.

In this paper, we investigate a Cartan calculus on the homology of free loop spaces which is introduced by Kuribayashi, Wakatsuki, Yamaguchi and the author [ Cartan calculi on the free loop spaces , Preprint, arXiv:2207.05941, 2022]. In particular, it is proved that the Cartan calculus can be described by the loop product and the loop bracket in string topology. Moreover, by using the descriptions, we show that the loop product behaves well with respect to the Hodge decomposition of the homology of free loop spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polynomials and entire functions whose hyperbolic dimension is strictly smaller than the Hausdorff dimension of their Julia set are known to exist but in all these examples the latter dimension is maximal, i.e. equal to two.
