If $f\in C([0,\infty))$, does $\delta>0$ and $g\in C^1((0,\delta))\cap C([0,\delta])$ s.t. $g\geq f$ on $[0,\delta]$ and $g(0)=f(0)$ exist?
The question is the following:
Suppose $f : [0,\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function. Can I find $\delta \in (0,\infty)$ and a function $g : [0,\delta] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such ...

A problem of uniqueness
Let $f\in\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $a\in(-1,1)$, how i can prove that the following problem:
$$\text{div}(t^a\nabla u)=0,\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^n\times(0,\infty),$$
$$ u(x,0)=f(x),\quad\forall x\...

Sufficient and necessary conditions for decomposing the sum of random variables
Given two $n$-tuple vectors $\vec{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\cdots,\alpha_n)$ and
$\vec{h}=(h_1,\cdots,h_n)$, where $h_i\ge0$, $\sum_{i=1}^nh_i=1$, and $\alpha_i\in(0,1)$, we consider a random variable $S$ on ...

Interchange of integral and infimum
Can anyone please suggest how to justify widely used formula for interchange of integral and infimum:
$
\inf_{u(t)\in U}\int_{t_0}^{t_1}g(t,u(t))dt=\int_{t_0}^{t_1}\inf_{u\in U}g(t,u)dt,
$
where $ U\...
