On a deceptively tricky calculus problem
Motivation for this question: If the operators $B_i'$ satisfy an inequality, prove that $B_1'+\dots B_n'$ also satisfies the same inequality
Let $A$ be a non-constant operator acting on $C^...

Is it always possible to calculate the limit of an elementary function?
I already asked this question on https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2691331/is-it-always-possible-to-calculate-the-limit-of-an-elementary-function but as I received no answer; maybe it is not as ...

How quickly can the derivative of an everywhere differentiable function change sign?
Let $f : [a,b] \to \Bbb R$ be everywhere differentiable with $f'(a) = 1$ and $f'(b) =-1$.
By Darboux theorem, we know that $f'([a,b])$ is an interval containing $[-1,1]$. In particular, the set $\{x \...

Existence and uniqueness of an Euler-type ODE with varying parameters
Consider this ODE on $[1, \infty)$
$(r^2 - 2ar)f''(r) + 2(r-a) f'(r) - ({4a} + m(m+1))f(r) = -4af(1) $
with initial conditions
$\frac{a}{1-2a} f(1) + f'(1) = C, \qquad \lim_{r\to \infty} f(r) = 0$

Boundary of an open, bounded and convex set in $\mathbb{R} ^n$
Let $U$ be an open, bounded and convex set in $\mathbb{R} ^n$. Since $\partial U$ is a rectifiable set it follows that up to a set of $H^{n-1}$-measure zero $\partial U$ is contained in a countable ...

Existence and uniqueness of an Euler-type ODE with varying parameters part 2
I am working on some non-local differential equations that appear in geometric analysis.
One of which I posted here and was answered by @WillieWong and @losifPinelis.
Consider this non-local ...

Validity of formula $u(x)=\frac{1}{4\pi}\int_G \nabla_y \frac{1}{\lvert x-y \rvert} \times \omega(y) \, d^3y +A(x)$ for periodic boundary case
I think it is better to provide context in which the previous question Any formula or estimates the Green function for the Laplacian in $3D$ periodic box? has been raised.
The motivation is the ...
