Anti‐periodic solutions for a gradient system with resonance via a variational approach

In this paper, we investigate a second‐order resonance anti‐periodic boundary value problem where is the m‐th eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. By using the dual least action principle, we obtain an existence result. In addition, we obtain the existence of 2T‐periodic solutions for .     

Spectrum of a linear fourth‐order differential operator and its applications

In this paper, we apply the disconjugacy theory and Elias's spectrum theory to study the positivity and the spectrum structure of the linear operator coupled with the clamped beam boundary conditions (1.2). We also study the positivity and the spectrum structure of the more general operator coupled with (1.2). As the applications of our results on positivity and spectrum of fourth‐order linear differential operators, we show the existence of nodal solutions for the corresponding nonlinear problems via Rabinowitz's global bifurcation theorem.     

Global existence of solutions for a fully parabolic chemotaxis system with consumption of chemoattractant and logistic source

This paper deals with a fully parabolic chemotaxis system with consumption of chemoattractant and logistic source under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain . The functions χ and f are assumed to generalize the chemotactic sensitivity function and logistic source respectively. Under some conditions, we obtain that the corresponding initial‐boundary value problem possesses a unique global classical solution that is uniformly bounded.     

Subgroups and homology of extensions of centralizers of pro‐p groups

We study the growth of , where U is an open subgroup of and is a special class of pro‐p groups defined in 7 . Furthermore for non‐abelian we prove the core property: for pro‐p subgroups such that H is finitely generated and N is non‐trivial normal in G the index is always finite.     

Oscillation criteria for higher order nonlinear dynamic equations

The results extend and improve some known results in the literature on higher order nonlinear dynamic equations.     

On a necessary aspect for the Riesz basis property for indefinite Sturm‐Liouville problems

In 1996, H. Volkmer observed that the inequality is satisfied with some positive constant for a certain class of functions f on [ ? 1, 1] if the eigenfunctions of the problem form a Riesz basis of the Hilbert space . Here the weight is assumed to satisfy a.e. on ( ? 1, 1). We present two criteria in terms of Weyl–Titchmarsh m‐functions for the Volkmer inequality to be valid. Note that one of these criteria is new even for the classical HELP inequality. Using these results we improve the result of Volkmer by showing that this inequality is valid if the operator associated with the spectral problem satisfies the linear resolvent growth condition. In particular, we show that the Riesz basis property of eigenfunctions is equivalent to the linear resolvent growth if r is odd.     

Non‐commutative ‐divergence functional

We introduce the non‐commutative f‐divergence functional for an operator convex function f, where and are continuous fields of Hilbert space operators and study its properties. We establish some relations between the perspective of an operator convex function f and the non‐commutative f‐divergence functional. In particular, an operator extension of Csiszár's result regarding f‐divergence functional is presented. As some applications, we establish a refinement of the Choi–Davis–Jensen operator inequality, obtain some unitarily invariant norm inequalities and give some results related to the Kullback–Leibler distance.     

The Dirichlet problem for non‐divergence parabolic equations with discontinuous in time coefficients in a wedge

We consider the Dirichlet problem in a wedge for parabolic equation whose coefficients are measurable function of t. We obtain coercive estimates in weighted ‐spaces. The concept of “critical exponent” introduced in the paper plays here the crucial role. Various important properties of the critical exponent are proved. We give applications to the Dirichlet problem for linear and quasi‐linear non‐divergence parabolic equations with discontinuous in time coefficients in cylinders , where Ω is a bounded domain with an edge or with a conical point.     

Existence of a nodal solution with minimal energy for a Kirchhoff equation

We show the existence of a nodal solution (sign‐changing solution) for a Kirchhoff equation of the type where Ω is a bounded domain in , M is a general C¹ class function and f is a superlinear C¹ class function with subcritical growth. The proof is based on a minimization argument and a quantitative deformation lemma.     

On the order of the automorphism group of foliations

Let be a holomorphic foliation with ample canonical bundle on a smooth projective surface X. We obtain an upper bound on the order of its automorphism group which depends only on and provided this group is finite. Here, and are the canonical bundles of and X, respectively.     

Hypersurfaces with parallel para‐Laguerre tensor in

Let be an ‐dimensional hypersurface with vanishing Laguerre form in , be the Laguerre second fundamental form and be the Laguerre tensor of the immersion x. We define a symmetric (0, 2) tensor which is so‐called the para‐Laguerre tensor of x, where λ is a constant. If , we say that x is of parallel para‐Laguerre tensor, where ? is the Levi‐Civita connection of the Laguerre metric g. An eigenvalue of the para‐Laguerre tensor is called a para‐Laguerre eigenvalue of x. The aim of this paper is to classify all oriented hypersurfaces in with parallel para‐Laguerre tensor or with three distinct constant para‐Laguerre eigenvalues one of which is simple.     

On the mutually non isomorphic spaces,II

This note is a companion to the article On the mutually non isomorphic spaces published in this journal, in which P. Cembranos and J. Mendoza showed that is a collection of mutually non isomorphic Banach spaces [5]. We now complete the picture by allowing the non‐locally convex relatives to be part of their natural family and see that, in fact, no two members of the extended class are isomorphic. Our approach is novel in the sense that we reach the isomorphism obstructions from the perspective of bases techniques and the different convexities of the spaces, both methods being intrinsic to quasi‐Banach spaces.     

Well‐posedness of fractional degenerate differential equations with finite delay on vector‐valued functional spaces

We study the well‐posedness of the fractional degenerate differential equations with finite delay on Lebesgue–Bochner spaces , periodic Besov spaces and periodic Triebel–Lizorkin spaces , where A and M are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying , F is a bounded linear operator from (resp. and ) into X, where is given by when and . Using known operator‐valued Fourier multiplier theorems, we give necessary or sufficient conditions for the well‐posedness of in the above three function spaces.     

Classification of Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in

Let be an ‐dimensional hypersurface in and be the Laguerre second fundamental form of the immersion x. An eigenvalue of Laguerre second fundamental form is called a Laguerre principal curvature of x. An umbilic free hypersurface with non‐zero principal curvatures and vanishing Laguerre form is called a Laguerre isoparametric hypersurface if the Laguerre principal curvatures of x are constants. In this paper, we obtain a complete classification for all oriented Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in .     

Integral means and Dirichlet integral for analytic functions

For normalized analytic functions f in the unit disk, the estimate of the integral means is important in certain problems in fluid dynamics, especially when the functions are non‐vanishing in the punctured unit disk . We consider the problem of finding the extremal function f which maximizes the integral means for f belong to certain classes of analytic functions related to sufficient conditions of univalence. In addition, for certain subclasses of the class of normalized univalent and analytic functions, we solve the extremal problem for the Yamashita functional where denotes the area of the image of under . The first problem was originally discussed by Gromova and Vasil'ev in 2002 while the second by Yamashita in 1990.
