In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the scattering phases(λ) of the Dirichlet Laplacian associated with obstacle , where Ω is a bounded open subset of ℝ ⁿ (n≥2) with non-smooth boundary ∂Ω and connected complement Ω _e =ℝ ⁿ . We can prove that if Ω satisfies a certain geometrical condition, then

On a class of nonlinear problems involving a p(x)-Laplace type operator

We study the boundary value problem in Ω, u = 0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in ℝ ^N . Our attention is focused on two cases when , where m(x) = max{p ₁(x), p ₂(x)} for any x ∈ or m(x) < q(x) < N · m(x)/(N − m(x)) for any x ∈ . In the former case we show the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for any λ > 0. In the latter we prove that if λ is large enough then there exists a nontrivial weak solution. Our approach relies on the variable exponent theory of generalized Lebesgue-Sobolev spaces, combined with a ℤ₂-symmetric version for even functionals of the Mountain Pass Theorem and some adequate variational methods.

Uniqueness of harmonic mappings with Blaschke dilatations

Let Ω be a bounded convex domain and let ω be a finite Blaschke product of order N = 1, 2, .... It is known that the elliptic differential equation admits a one-to-one solution normalized by ƒ(0) = 0, ƒ_z(0) > 0 and maps the open unit disc onto a convex (n + 2)-gon whose vertices belong to ∂Ω. In this article it is shown that this solution is unique.

De Bruijn’s question on the zeros of Fourier transforms

Letf(z) be a real entire function of genus 1^*, δ≥0, and suppose that for each ε>0, all but a finite number of the zeros off(z) lie in the strip |Imz| ≤δ+ε. Let λ be a positive constant such that . It is shown that for each ε>0, all but a finite number of the zeros of the entire function lie in the strip and if Δ² < 2λ, then all but a finite number of the zeros of e^−λD2 f(z) are real and simple. As a consequence, de Bruijn's question whether the functions e^γ t ²,λ>0, are strong universal factors is answered affirmatively.

The Corona theorem in would be the same result withp = +∞ and this question is still open forn ≳-2, but the preceding result goes in this direction.

Integration of a zonal function related to the local harmonic analysis on spheres

In studying local harmonic analysis on the sphere Sⁿ, R.S. Strichartz introduced certain zonal functions ϕ₂(d(x, y)) which satisfy the equation , where Δ_z is the Laplace operator and δ_−y the Dirac measure. The explicit expression of the constant a (λ) is given by R.S. Strichartz in the case that n is odd. Appyling the Apéry identity, we show in this paper that for n even, where w_n-1 is the surface area of S^n-1, . The author's research was supported by a grant from NSFC.

About entire functions with specialL 2-properties on one-dimensional subspaces of ℂ n

In this paper we consider special elements of the Fock space #x2131; _n . That is the space of entire functionsf:ℂ: ⁿ →ℂ, such that the followingL ²- condition is satisfied: . Here we show that there exists an entire functiong:ℂ ⁿ →ℂ such that for every one-dimensional subspace Π⊂ℂ ⁿ and for all 0<∈<2 we have , but in the limit case ∈=0 we have . This result is analogue to a result from [1]. There holomorphic functions on the unit-ball are investigated. Furthermore the proof — as the one in [1] — uses a theorem from [2]. Therefore we give another application of the results from [2] — namely for spaces of entire functions.     

Existence and Multiplicity Results for a Degenerate Elliptic Equation

The goal of this paper is to study the multiplicity result of positive solutions of a class of degenerate elliptic equations.
