Identities and inequalities in analysis and probability

Usually, at the heart of a good limit theorem in probability theory is at least one good inequality – because, in applications, a topological neighborhood is usually defined by inequalities. Of course,...

Double-periodic functions with (possible) poles

Consider the set of double-periodic function $f:\mathbb C/(\mathbb Z+i \mathbb Z) \setminus \{z_0\} \to \mathbb C$, where $z_0$ is a fixed point inside $\mathbb C/(\mathbb Z+i \mathbb Z),$ that have a ...

Analytic continuation of $\int_V (f(x_1,\cdots,x_n))^s dx_i$

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional simplex, let $f(\boldsymbol{x}) = f(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in \mathbb{C}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]$ be a product of linear polynomials that is non-zero in interior of $V$. Also let $E(\...

How to prove that the function $\lambda \mapsto \langle T_{\lambda}f; g\rangle$ is holomorphic?

Let $\langle;\rangle$ be the usual scalar product on $L^2(\Bbb R^2)$. How to prove that the function $\lambda \mapsto \langle T_{\lambda}f; g\rangle$ is holomorphic on $\Bbb C^+_*=\{z\in\Bbb C:\text{...

Regularity of boundary of a level set of a $C^{1,\alpha}$ function

Let $f:\mathbb{R}^2\to\mathbb{R}$ be a $C^{1,\alpha}$ function. Denote $S_C=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^2\mid f(x)=C \}$ the level set of $f$ with value $C$. What i want to ask is, if $S_C$ is nonempty for some $...

Estimate for an oscillatory integral of the first kind

I am confused in finding the right bound for the following oscillatory integral $$I = \int_\mathbb{R} (\psi(2^{-k} \xi))^2 e^{i (y \xi - 3 \eta \xi^2 t)} d\xi.$$ Where $\psi(2^{-k} \xi)$ is a smooth ...

On a question relating integral equation:

I don't know if the following question qualifies as research level. If it isn't, sorry. Set the following terminology: $ \alpha_1 =\alpha_1(t,x)=t(\tan^{-1}(x)+c)$ $\alpha_2=\alpha_2(s,x)=s(\tan^{-1}(...

Existence of periodic solution to ODE

We shall consider the matrix-valued differential operator $$(L u)(x) :=u'(x) - \begin{pmatrix} 0 & \sin(2\pi x-\frac{\pi}{6})\\ - 2\sin(2\pi x+\frac{\pi}{6}) & 0 \end{pmatrix} u(x).$$ This is ...

Is it possible for all of the smooth/continuous curves in $R^3$ to form a Hilbert space? [closed]

Under which condition can it form a Hilbert space? Or what space can it form? You can write down certain condition to make it to be a Hilbert space, e.g., Let $$p(t)=[x(t),y(t),z(t)]^T\in \text{R}^3$$ ...

A density question

Suppose $\Omega= (0,1)\times(0,1)\subset \mathbb R^2$. Assume that $f, g \in C^{\infty}(\Omega)$ and that $$ \int_\Omega \left(f(x_1,x_2)- \frac{m}{(n+1)}g(x_1,x_2)\right) x_1^n \,x_2^m \,dx_1\,dx_2 = ...

Existence of solution to linear fractional equation

We consider the equation $$ \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{\lambda_j}{x-x_j} =i$$ where $\lambda_j>0$ and $x_j$ are real distinct numbers. I want to show that if $\lambda_k$ is small compared to the ...

Solutions to Schrödinger equation parameter dependence

This is somewhat unrelated to what I normally do in mathematics, which is why it may be obvious to some of you, but I was puzzled by this: If we look for classical solutions on $[0,1]$ to $$-y''(x) =...

Let a function f have all moments zero. What conditions force f to be identically zero?

Throughout, let $f$ be a Lebesgue measurable function (or continuous if you wish, but this is probably no easier). (Questions with distributions etc. are possible also but I want to keep things simple ...
