The present paper is concerned with the infimum of the norm of potentials for Sturm–Liouville eigenvalue problems with Dirichlet boundary condition such that the first two eigenvalues are known. The explicit quantity of the infimum is given by the two eigenvalues.

In the setting of finite groups, suppose $J$ acts on $N$ via automorphisms so that the induced semidirect product $N\rtimes J$ acts on some non-empty set $\Omega$, with $N$ acting transitively. Glauberman proved that if the orders of $J$ and $N$ are coprime, then $J$ fixes a point in $\Omega$. We consider the non-coprime case and show that if $N$ is abelian and a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $J$ fixes a point in $\Omega$ for each prime $p$, then $J$ fixes a point in $\Omega$. We also show that if $N$ is nilpotent, $N\rtimes J$ is supersoluble, and a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $J$ fixes a point in $\Omega$ for each prime $p$, then $J$ fixes a point in $\Omega$.

In this paper, we derive new differential Harnack estimates of Li–Yau type for positive smooth solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic equations in the form

\[ {\mathscr L}_\phi^{\mathsf a} [w]:= \left[ \frac{\partial}{\partial t} - \mathsf{a}(x,t) - \Delta_\phi \right] w (x,t) = \mathscr G(t, x, w(x,t)), \quad t>0, \]

In this paper, we compute the LS-category and equivariant LS-category of a small cover and its real moment angle manifold. We calculate a tight lower bound for the topological complexity of many small covers over a product of simplices. Then we compute symmetric topological complexity of several small covers over a product of simplices. We calculate the LS one-category of real Bott manifolds and infinitely many small covers.

Assuming an averaged form of Mertens’ conjecture and that the ordinates of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are linearly independent over the rationals, we analyse the finer structure of the terms in a well-known formula of Ramanujan.

Let $G$ be a compact Abelian group and $E$ a subset of the group $\widehat {G}$ of continuous characters of $G$. We study Arens regularity-related properties of the ideals $L_E^1(G)$ of $L^1(G)$ that are made of functions whose Fourier transform is supported on $E\subseteq \widehat {G}$. Arens regularity of $L_E^1(G)$, the centre of $L_E^1(G)^{\ast \ast }$ and the size of $L_E^1(G)^\ast /\mathcal {WAP}(L_E^1(G))$ are studied. We establish general conditions for the regularity of $L_E^1(G)$ and deduce from them that $L_E^1(G)$ is not strongly Arens irregular if $E$ is a small-2 set (i.e. $\mu \ast \mu \in L^1(G)$ for every $\mu \in M_E^1(G)$), which is not a $\Lambda (1)$-set, and it is extremely non-Arens regular if $E$ is not a small-2 set. We deduce also that $L_E^1(G)$ is not Arens regular when $\widehat {G}\setminus E$ is a Lust-Piquard set.

We give a comprehensive study of the 3D Navier–Stokes–Brinkman–Forchheimer equations in a bounded domain endowed with the Dirichlet boundary conditions and non-autonomous external forces. This study includes the questions related with the regularity of weak solutions, their dissipativity in higher energy spaces and the existence of the corresponding uniform attractors

We consider Calderón's problem for the connection Laplacian on a real-analytic vector bundle over a manifold with boundary. We prove a uniqueness result for this problem when all geometric data are real-analytic, recovering the topology and geometry of a vector bundle up to a gauge transformation and an isometry of the base manifold.

In this paper, we are concerned with the ground states of the following planar Kirchhoff-type problem:

\[ -\left(1+b\displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^2}|\nabla u|^2\,{\rm d}x\right)\Delta u+\omega u=|u|^{p-2}u, \quad x\in\mathbb{R}^2. \]
