On critical points of harmonic functions
Let $u \in C^{\infty}(\mathbb R^3)$ be harmonic. Suppose that $u$ has no critical points outside the unit ball but that it has at least one critical point inside the unit ball.
Does it follow that $u$ ...

Mittag-Leffler function
Let the Mittaq-Leffler function be defined by the expression
$$ E_{\mu,\nu}(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{z^k}{\Gamma(k\mu+\nu)}\quad \text{$\mu>0$ and $\nu\in \mathbb R$}$$
Now let $n\in \mathbb ...

First order PDE in complex variables?
Consider the equation
$$f'(x)+ g(x)f(x)=0$$
This equation is an ODE and has a solution $$ f(x)=C e^{ \int_1^x g(x) \ dx}.$$
Similarly, we can look at complex variables and consider the equation and ...

Nontrivial invariant transformations for heat equations
It is well known that if $u$ is a harmonic function on $\mathbb R^2$ then its Kelvin transform defined by
$$ v(r,\theta) = u(\frac{1}{r},\theta)$$
is also harmonic for $r>0$. Note that the Kelvin ...

Taylor coefficients of Hadamard product
I imagine this to be a very classical question in complex analysis:
Consider the Hadamard product
$$g(\mu) = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty}E_1(\mu z_n),$$
where $E_1(z):=(1-z)e^z$ is the first elementary ...

Asking a reference about the $p$-Laplacian of $|\nabla u|^p$
It is well-known that for a harmonic function $u$, i.e.
$$ \Delta u=0, $$
the quantity $|\nabla u|^2$ is subharmonic, i.e.
$$\Delta (|\nabla u|^2) \geq 0. $$
Reason:
$$\Delta (|\nabla u|^2)= 2 \nabla (...
