About the number of critical points of a function
Suppose that $f$ is a totally monotone function on $(0,\infty)$, so that $(-1)^n f^{(n)}\ge0$ for all $n=0,1,\dots$, $f(0+)\in(0,\infty)$, and $f(t)\sim\frac{1}{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}$ as $t\to\infty$. Can ...

Eigenvalue of a convolution and a restriction?
Let $\epsilon>0$ be small. Let $\eta(t) = \frac{2\epsilon}{\epsilon^2+(2\pi t)^2}$ (the Fourier transform of $x\mapsto e^{-\epsilon |x|}$). Let $V$ be the space of integrable, bounded functions $f:\...

A deceptively simple regularity problem for functions on the plane
By various meanderings and toying with simpler problems, my current research has lead me to the following quite straightforward question, which I am wholly unable to answer:
Consider a twice ...

About BMO space on smooth open bounded domain
Let $\Omega$ be any open domain in $\Bbb R^d$.
Define the $\text{BMO}(\Omega)$ space as
$$ \text{BMO}(\Omega)= \big\{u\in L^1_{loc}(\Omega)\,\,:\,\, |u|_{\text{BMO}(\Omega)} <\infty \big\},
$$

Function that is (essentially) a self-convolution but not a multiple of a self-convolution
Call a function $F:\mathbb{R}\to C$ nice if it is of the form $F = f\ast \tilde{f}$, where $\tilde{f}(x) = \overline{f(-x)}$. (Of course nice functions are precisely those whose Fourier transform is ...

Is it possible to backtrack an optimization solver? [closed]
I have an optimization problem and was using a linear programming optimizer to find solutions. However, I find that past a certain size, the problem becomes "infeasible" and has no solutions....

A system of nonlinear Diophantine equations whose positive solutions are not coprime
Consider the following system of Diophantine equations:
$$v_1k_1=k_1^3-k_2^3+k_3^3 \\
v_2k_2=k_1^3+k_2^3-k_3^3 \\
v_3k_3=-k_1^3+k_2^3+k_3^3 \tag{1}$$
where $v_1,v_2,v_3$ and $k_1,k_2,k_3$ are integer-...

Integral hull of a polyhedron Q is polyhedron
Let $Q \subseteq R^n$ be a rational polyhedron and let $Q_I=Convexhull(Q \cap Z^n)$. By finite basis theorem, we have $Q=P+C$ for some rational polytope $P$ and finitely generated cone $C$ where $C=R_+...

On compact embeddings in weighted Riesz potential spaces
I wonder if there is any references for the study of the following type of spaces
$$ X_{\delta,\alpha}=\{ u\in L^2_\delta(\mathbb{R}^n):\, u= (-\Delta)^\alpha f \quad\text{for some}\quad f\in L^2_{\...
