Existence of positive ground state solutions for the coupled Choquard system with potential

In this paper, we study the following coupled Choquard system in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$: where $\alpha \in (0,N)$ and , in which $2_{\ast }^{\alpha }$ denotes $\frac{N+\alpha }{N-2}$ if $N\ge 3$ and $2_{\ast }^{\alpha }:=\infty$ if $N=1,2$. The function $I_{\alpha }$ is a Riesz potential. By using Nehari manifold method, we obtain the existence of a positive ground state solution in the case of bounded potential and periodic potential, respectively. In particular, the nonlinear term includes the well-studied case $p=q$ and $u(x)=v(x)$, and the less-studied case $p\ne q$ and $u(x)\ne v(x)$. Moreover, it seems to be the first existence result for the case $p\ne q$.     

Group divisible covering designs with block size four

Group divisible covering designs (GDCDs) were introduced by Heinrich and Yin as a natural generalization of both covering designs and group divisible designs. They have applications in software testing and universal data compression. The minimum number of blocks in a k‐GDCD of type $g^u$ is a covering number denoted by $C(k,g^u)$. When $k=3$, the values of $C(3,g^u)$ have been determined completely for all possible pairs $(g,u)$. When $k=4$, Francetić et al. constructed many families of optimal GDCDs, but the determination remained far from complete. In this paper, two specific 4‐IGDDs are constructed, thereby completing the existence problem for 4‐IGDDs of type ${(g,h)}^u$. Then, additional families of optimal 4‐GDCDs are constructed. Consequently the cases for $(g,u)$ whose status remains undetermined arise when $g\equiv 7mod12$ and $u\equiv 3mod6$, when $g\equiv 11,14,17,23mod24$ and $u\equiv 5mod6$, and in several small families for which one of g and u is fixed.     

The martingale problem for a class of nonlocal operators of diagonal type

We consider systems of stochastic differential equations of the form $$\begin{array}{c}\hfill d{X}_t^i=\sum _{j=1}^d{A}_{ij}\left(X_{t?}\right)d{Z}_t^j\end{array}$$ for $i=1,?,d$ with continuous, bounded and non‐degenerate coefficients. Here $Z_t^1,?,Z_t^d$ are independent one‐dimensional stable processes with ${\alpha }_1,?,{\alpha }_d\in (0,2)$. In this article we research on uniqueness of weak solutions to such systems by studying the corresponding martingale problem. We prove the uniqueness of weak solutions in the case of diagonal coefficient matrices.     

On the dynamics of a higher order rational difference equations

The main objective of this paper is to study the global stability of the positive solutions and the periodic character of the difference equation

$y_{n+1}=a{y}_n+b{y}_{n?t}+c{y}_{n?l}+\frac{d{y}_{n?k}+e{y}_{n?s}}{\alpha y_{n?k}+\beta y_{n?s}},n=0,1,\dots ,$

with positive parameters and non-negative initial conditions. Numerical examples to the difference equation are given to explain our results.     

Poincaré's inequality and Sobolev spaces with monomial weights

In this paper, we use a weighted version of Poincaré's inequality to study density and extension properties of weighted Sobolev spaces over some open set $\mathrm{\Omega }\subseteq {\mathbb{R}}^N$. Additionally, we study the specific case of monomial weights $w(x_1,\text{…},x_N)={\prod }_{i=1}^N{\left|x_i\right|}^{a_i},a_i\ge 0$, showing the validity of a weighted Poincaré inequality together with some embedding properties of the associated weighed Sobolev spaces.     

Exponential decay for semilinear wave equation with localized damping in the hyperbolic space

In this paper, we study the exponential decay of the energy associated to an initial value problem involving the wave equation on the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{B}}^N$. The space ${\mathbb{B}}^N$ is the unit disc of ${\mathbb{R}}^N$ endowed with the Riemannian metric g given by $g_{ij}=p^2{\delta }_{ij}$, where $p(x)=\frac{2}{1-{|x|}^2}$ and ${\delta }_{ij}=1$, if $i=j$ and ${\delta }_{ij}=0$, if $i\ne j$. Making an appropriate change, the problem can be seen as a singular problem on the boundary of the open ball endowed with the euclidean metric. The proof is based on the multiplier techniques combined with the use of Hardy's inequality, in a version due to the Brezis–Marcus, which allows us to overcome the difficulty involving the singularities.     

Extensions of Laba‐Wang's condition for spectral pairs

Let ${\mu }_{M,D}$ be a self‐affine measure associated with an expanding matrix $M\in M_n\left(\mathbf{Z}\right)$ and a finite digit set $D?{\mathbf{Z}}^n$. We consider in this paper the spectrality of ${\mu }_{M,D}$. In the case when $(M^{?1}D,S)$ is a compatible pair for some $S?{\mathbf{Z}}^n$, a necessary condition is obtained for the spectral pair $({\mu }_{M,D},\Lambda (M,S))$. This condition is shown to be equivalent to the known necessary conditions for the same spectral pair. Moreover, we prove that all these necessary conditions are not sufficient in the higher dimensions, but they are sufficient in the dimension one. This extends Laba‐Wang's condition for spectral pairs.     

Parametric CR-umbilical locus of ellipsoids in C2

For every real numbers $a?1$, $b?1$ with $(a,b)\ne (1,1)$, the curve parametrized by $\theta \in \mathbb{R}$ valued in ${\mathbb{C}}^2?{\mathbb{R}}^4$

$\gamma :\theta ?(x(\theta )+\sqrt{?1}y(\theta ),u(\theta )+\sqrt{?1}v(\theta ))$

with components:

$\begin{array}{c}x(\theta ):=\sqrt{\frac{a?1}{a(ab?1)}}\cos ?\theta ,y(\theta ):=\sqrt{\frac{b(a?1)}{ab?1}}\sin ?\theta ,\hfill \\ u(\theta ):=\sqrt{\frac{b?1}{b(ab?1)}}\sin ?\theta ,v(\theta ):=?\sqrt{\frac{a(b?1)}{ab?1}}\cos ?\theta ,\hfill \end{array}$

has image contained in the CR-umbilical locus:

$\gamma (\mathbb{R})?\mathsf{UmbCR}\left({\mathsf{E}}_{a,b}\right)?{\mathsf{E}}_{a,b}$

of the ellipsoid ${\mathsf{E}}_{a,b}?{\mathbb{C}}^2$ of equation $a{x}^2+y^2+b{u}^2+v^2=1$, where the CR-umbilical locus of a Levi nondegenerate hypersurface $M^3?{\mathbb{C}}^2$ is the set of points at which the Cartan curvature of M vanishes.     

On pointwise decay rates of time‐periodic solutions to the Navier–Stokes equation

We study the existence of a time‐periodic solution with pointwise decay properties to the Navier–Stokes equation in the whole space. We show that if the time‐periodic external force is sufficiently small in an appropriate sense, then there exists a time‐periodic solution $\{u,p\}$ of the Navier–Stokes equation such that $|{?}^j{u(t,x)|=O(|x|}^{1?n?j})$ and $|{?}^j{p(t,x)|=O(|x|}^{?n?j})(j=0,1,\dots )$ uniformly in $t\in \mathbb{R}$ as $|x|\to \infty$. Our solution decays faster than the time‐periodic Stokes fundamental solution and the faster decay of its spatial derivatives of higher order is also described.
