We introduce the notion of Killing normal Jacobi operator for real hypersurfaces in the complex quadric Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2. The Killing normal Jacobi operator implies that the unit normal vector field N becomes 𝔄-principal or 𝔄-isotropic. Then according to each case, we give a complete classification of real hypersurfaces in Qm = SOm+2/SOmSO2 with Killing normal Jacobi operator.

We present some fundamental properties of quasi-Reinhardt domains, in connection with Kobayashi hyperbolicity, minimal domains and representative domains. We also study proper holomorphic correspondences between quasi-Reinhardt domains.

We consider an elliptic problem of the type

$$\left\{ {\matrix{ {-\Delta u = f(x,u)\quad } \hfill & {{\rm in}\,\Omega } \hfill \cr {u = 0} \hfill & {{\rm on}\,\Gamma _1} \hfill \cr {\displaystyle{{\partial u} \over {\partial \nu }} = g(x,u)} \hfill & {{\rm on}\,\Gamma _2} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$

$\partial \Omega = \overline {\Gamma _1} \cup \overline {\Gamma _2} $

Under a Morse index condition, we prove cylindrical symmetry results for solutions of the above problem.

As an intermediate step, we relate the Morse index of a solution of the nonlinear problem to the eigenvalues of the following linear eigenvalue problem

$$\left\{ {\matrix{ {-\Delta w_j + c(x)w_j = \lambda _jw_j} \hfill & {{\rm in }\Omega } \hfill \cr {w_j = 0} \hfill & {{\rm on }\Gamma _1} \hfill \cr {\displaystyle{{\partial w_j} \over {\partial \nu }} + d(x)w_j = \lambda _jw_j} \hfill & {{\rm on }\Gamma _2} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$

We are concerned with an elliptic problem which describes a mean field equation of the equilibrium turbulence of vortices with variable intensities. In the first part of the paper, we describe the blow-up picture and highlight the differences from the standard mean field equation as we observe non-quantization phenomenon. In the second part, we discuss the Moser–Trudinger inequality in terms of the blow-up masses and get the existence of solutions in a non-coercive regime by means of a variational argument, which is based on some improved Moser–Trudinger inequalities.

Let n ⩾ 3, 0 ⩽ m < n − 2/n, ρ1 > 0, $\beta>\beta_{0}^{(m)}=(({m\rho_{1}})/({n-2-nm}))$, αm = ((2β + ρ1)/(1 − m)) and α = 2β+ρ1. For any λ > 0, we prove the uniqueness of radially symmetric solution υ(m) of Δ(υm/m) + αmυ + βx · ∇υ = 0, υ > 0, in ℝn∖{0} which satisfies $\lim\nolimits_{|x|\to 0|}|x|^{\alpha _m/\beta }v^{(m)}(x) = \lambda ^{-((\rho _1)/((1-m)\beta ))}$ and obtain higher order estimates of υ(m) near the blow-up point x = 0. We prove that as m → 0+, υ(m) converges uniformly in C2(K) for any compact subset K of ℝn∖{0} to the solution υ of Δlog υ + α υ + β x·∇ υ = 0, υ > 0, in ℝn\{0}, which satisfies $\lim\nolimits_{ \vert x \vert \to 0} \vert x \vert ^{{\alpha}/{\beta}}v(x)=\lambda^{-{\rho_{1}}/{\beta}}$. We also prove that if the solution u(m) of ut = Δ (um/m), u > 0, in (ℝn∖{0}) × (0, T) which blows up near {0} × (0, T) at the rate $ \vert x \vert ^{-{\alpha_{m}}/{\beta}}$ satisfies some mild growth condition on (ℝn∖{0}) × (0, T), then as m → 0+, u(m) converges uniformly in C2 + θ, 1 + θ/2(K) for some constant θ ∈ (0, 1) and any compact subset K of (ℝn∖{0}) × (0, T) to the solution of ut = Δlog u, u > 0, in (ℝn∖{0}) × (0, T). As a consequence of the proof, we obtain existence of a unique radially symmetric solution υ(0) of Δ log υ + α υ + β x·∇ υ = 0, υ > 0, in ℝn∖{0}, which satisfies $\lim\nolimits_{ \vert x \vert \to 0} \vert x \vert ^{{\alpha}/{\beta}}v(x)=\lambda^{-{\rho_{1}}/{\beta}}$.

The Ginzburg–Landau functional is a phase transition model which is suitable for classification type problems. We study the asymptotics of a sequence of Ginzburg–Landau functionals with anisotropic interaction potentials on point clouds Ψn where n denotes the number data points. In particular, we show the limiting problem, in the sense of Γ-convergence, is related to the total variation norm restricted to functions taking binary values, which can be understood as a surface energy. We generalize the result known for isotropic interaction potentials to the anisotropic case and add a result concerning the rate of convergence.

Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence predicts that only wavenumbers below some critical value, called Kolmogorov's dissipation number, are essential to describe the evolution of a three-dimensional (3D) fluid flow. A determining wavenumber, first introduced by Foias and Prodi for the 2D Navier–Stokes equations, is a mathematical analogue of Kolmogorov's number. The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a time-dependent determining wavenumber for the 3D Navier–Stokes equations whose time average is bounded by Kolmogorov's dissipation wavenumber for all solutions on the global attractor whose intermittency is not extreme.

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for a nonlocal logistic equation arising from the birth-jump processes. For this, we establish a sub-super solution method for nonlocal elliptic equations, we perform a study of the eigenvalue problems associated with these equations and we apply these results to the nonlocal logistic equation.

We consider a class of history-dependent quasivariational inequalities for which we prove the continuous dependence of the solution with respect to the set of constraints. Then, under additional assumptions, we associate with each inequality in the class a new inequality, the so-called dual variational inequality, for which we state and prove existence, uniqueness, equivalence and convergence results. The proofs are based on various estimates, monotonicity and fixed-point arguments for history-dependent operators. Our abstract results are useful in the study of various mathematical models of contact. To provide an example, we consider a boundary value problem which describes the equilibrium of a viscoelastic body in contact with an elastic-rigid foundation. We list the assumptions on the data and derive both the primal and the dual variational formulation of the problem. Then, we state and prove existence, uniqueness and convergence results. We also provide the link between the two formulations, together with their mechanical interpretation.

Let Ω⊂ℝN (N≥2) be a bounded domain with smooth boundary and {pn} be a sequence of real numbers converging to+∞ as n→∞. For each integer n>1, we define the function $\varphi_{n}(t)=p_{n} \vert t \vert^{p_{n}-2}te^{ \vert t \vert^{p_{n}}}$, for all t∈ℝ, and we prove the existence of a unique nonnegative variational solution for the problem−div(((φn(|∇ u(x)|))/(|∇ u(x)|))∇ u(x))=φn(1), when x∈Ω, subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. Next, we establish the uniform convergence in Ω of the sequence of solutions for the above family of equations to the distance function to the boundary of Ω. Our result complements the earlier developments on the topic obtained by Payne and Philippin [26], Kawohl [21], Bhattacharya, DiBenedetto and Manfredi [2], Perez-Llanos and Rossi [27] and Bocea and Mihăilescu [4].

We show that silting modules are closely related with localizations of rings. More precisely, every partial silting module gives rise to a localization at a set of maps between countably generated projective modules and, conversely, every universal localization, in the sense of Cohn and Schofield, arises in this way. To establish these results, we further explore the finite-type classification of tilting classes and we use the morphism category to translate silting modules into tilting objects. In particular, we prove that silting modules are of finite type.

In this paper, we study the fractional Dirichlet problem with the homogeneous exterior data posed on a bounded domain with Lipschitz continuous boundary. Under an extra assumption on the domain, slightly weaker than the exterior ball condition, we are able to prove existence and uniqueness of solutions which are Hölder continuous on the boundary. In proving this result, we use appropriate barrier functions obtained by an approximation procedure based on a suitable family of zero-th order problems. This procedure, in turn, allows us to obtain an approximation scheme for the Dirichlet problem through an equicontinuous family of solutions of the approximating zero-th order problems on ${\bar \Omega}$. Both results are extended to an ample class of fully non-linear operators.
