A proof of the Tn conjecture: Centralizers,Jacobians and spectrally arbitrary sign patterns

We prove the so-called $T_n$ conjecture: for every real-monic polynomial $p(x)$ of degree $n?2$ there exists an n by n matrix with sign pattern$T_n=\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}\hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill -\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill \hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill -\hfill & \hfill +\hfill \end{array}\right]\text{,}$whose characteristic polynomial is $p(x)$. The proof converts the problem of determining the nonsingularity of a certain Jacobi matrix to the problem of proving the non-existence of a nonzero matrix B that commutes with a nilpotent matrix with sign pattern $T_n$ and has zeros in positions $(1\text{,}1)$, and $(j+1\text{,}j)$ for $j=2\text{,}\dots \text{,}n-1$.     

Equiconvergence of spectral decompositions of 1D Dirac operators with regular boundary conditions

One dimensional Dirac operators $L_{bc}\left(v\right)y=i\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?1\hfill \end{array}\right)\frac{dy}{dx}+v\left(x\right)y\text{,}y=\left(\begin{array}{c}\hfill y_1\hfill \\ \hfill y_2\hfill \end{array}\right)\text{,}x\in [0,\pi ]\text{,}$ considered with $L^2$-potentials $v\left(x\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill P\left(x\right)\hfill \\ \hfill Q\left(x\right)\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \end{array}\right)$ and subject to regular boundary conditions ($bc$), have discrete spectrum. For strictly regular $bc$, the spectrum of the free operator $L_{bc}\left(0\right)$ is simple while the spectrum of $L_{bc}\left(v\right)$ is eventually simple, and the corresponding normalized root function systems are Riesz bases. For expansions of functions of bounded variation about these Riesz bases, we prove the uniform equiconvergence property and point-wise convergence on the closed interval $[0,\pi ]$. Analogous results are obtained for regular but not strictly regular $bc$.     

Coding of geodesics on some modular surfaces and applications to odd and even continued fractions

The connection between geodesics on the modular surface $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})?\mathbb{H}$ and regular continued fractions, established by Series, is extended to a connection between geodesics on $\Gamma ?\mathbb{H}$ and odd and grotesque continued fractions, where $\Gamma ?{\mathbb{Z}}_{3}1{\mathbb{Z}}_3$ is the index two subgroup of $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ generated by the order three elements $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?1\hfill \\ \hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 1\hfill \end{array}\right)$ and $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill 1\hfill \\ \hfill ?1\hfill & \hfill 1\hfill \end{array}\right)$, and having an ideal quadrilateral as fundamental domain.A similar connection between geodesics on $\Theta ?\mathbb{H}$ and even continued fractions is discussed in our framework, where $\Theta$ denotes the Theta subgroup of $PSL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ generated by $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0\hfill & \hfill ?1\hfill \\ \hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \end{array}\right)$ and $\left(\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 1\hfill & \hfill 2\hfill \\ \hfill 0\hfill & \hfill 1\hfill \end{array}\right)$.     

Hyperinvariant subspaces for operators having a compact part

It is well known that if $T=A\oplus B$, where A is compact, then T has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace. In this paper, we try to solve the hyperinvariant subspace problem for operators which have a compact part. Our main result is that if A is compact, then either $\left(\begin{array}{cc}A\hfill & \hfill ?\hfill \\ 0\hfill & \hfill B\hfill \end{array}\right)$ or $\left(\begin{array}{cc}A\hfill & \hfill 0\hfill \\ ?\hfill & \hfill B\hfill \end{array}\right)$ has a nontrivial hyperinvariant subspace.     

Multiplicity of solutions of weighted (p,q)-Laplacian with small source

In this article, we study the existence of infinitely many solutions to the degenerate quasilinear elliptic system-div(h_1(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽u)=d(x)|u|~(r-2)u+G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,-div(h_2(x)|▽u|~(p-2)▽v)=f(x)|v|~(s-2)v + G_u(x,u,v) in Ω,u=v=0 on ■Ω where Ω is a bonded domain in R~N with smooth boundary ■Ω,N≥2,1 r p ∞,1 s q ∞; h_1(x) and h_2(x) are allowed to have "essential" zeroes at some points inΩ; d(x)|u|~(r-2)u and f(x)|v|~(s-2)v are small sources with Gu(x,u,v), Gv(x,u,v) being their high-order perturbations with respect to(u,v) near the origin, respectively.     

Complex variable approach to the analysis of a fractional differential equation in the real line

The first aim of this work is to establish a Peano-type existence theorem for an initial value problem involving a complex fractional derivative, and then, as a consequence of this theorem, to give a partial answer for the local existence of the continuous solution to the initial value problem:

$\{\begin{array}{cc}\hfill & D_x^{q}u(x)=f(x,u(x)),\hfill \\ \hfill & u(0)=b,(b\ne 0).\hfill \end{array}$

Moreover, for some special cases of the problem, we investigate the corresponding geometric properties of the solutions.     

W01,1 solutions in some borderline cases of Calderon–Zygmund theory

In this paper we study the existence of $W_0^{1,1}(\Omega )$ distributional solutions of Dirichlet problems whose simplest example is$\{\begin{array}{cc}?\mathrm{div}\left({|\mathrm{?}u|}^{p?2}\mathrm{?}u\right)=f(x),\hfill & \text{in}\Omega ;\hfill \\ u=0,\hfill & \text{on}?\Omega .\hfill \end{array}$
