An intriguingly simple integral functional for star-shaped, planar, simple, closed, smooth curves
The following is a question that popped up in my research in geometric analysis some time ago and that I dropped and kept coming back to multiple times. I will first state the problem, or rather my ...

Is the composition of a logarithmic multiplier and a singular integral operator bounded at $L^\infty$?
I need to consider an operator of the form
$$
W=T\circ (\log|D|)^{-1}\chi(|D|) \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^2,
$$
where $\chi$ is a smooth cut-off function supported near zero and $T$ is an operator ...

Example: the equilibrium point is attractive but unstable
It is well known that asymptotic stability of ODEs consists of two aspects: attractivity and stability. So, are there any examples where an equilibrium point is attractive but not stable?

Is the one-sided concentration function of a non-negative integrable function absolutely continuous?
For $g\in L^1_+\!(0,1)$ define the one-sided concentration function
$$
Q_g(\delta)\;:=\;\sup_{0\le x\le 1-\delta}\int_x^{x+\delta} g(t)\,dt,
\qquad 0\le \delta\le 1.
$$
It is easy to check that $Q_g$ ...

Geometric lemma in Mockenhaupt-Seeger-Sogge
I've been trying to read the paper of G. Mockenhaupt, A. Seeger & C. Sogge, Wave Front Sets, Local Smoothing and Bourgain's Circular Maximal Theorem, 136 Ann. Math. 207 (1992).
In estimating a ...

Pointwise limit of cadlag functions
Suppose I have a sequence of cadlag functions $f_{n}$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ and a function $f$ such that $f_{n} \to f$ pointwise. Can the limit $f$ have uncountably many points of discontinuity? ...

Third moment of the Riemann zeta function
We know asymptotically
$$\int_1^T|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^2dt$$
and
$$\int_1^T|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^4dt,$$
but is anything known for the third moment
$$\int_1^T|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^3dt?$$
Since the ...

Asymptotic for fourth moment of derivatives of Riemann zeta function
Due to work of Ingham, it is known that
$$\int_1^T|\zeta^{(m)}(1/2+it)|^2\;dt\sim\frac{1}{2m+1}T(\log T)^{2m+1}.$$
Is there a similar result for the fourth moment? That is, is there an explicit result ...

Sharper concentration bounds for Gram matrices of Müntz–Szász systems?
Let $\mathcal{D}_K = \{x^\alpha\} \cup \{p_k\}_{k=0}^K$ be a dictionary on $[0,1]$, where $p_k$ are the orthonormal Jacobi polynomials with respect to the measure $d\mu = x^\beta dx$ (with $\beta > ...

Edge-vertex inequality EV ≥ 4^(n-1)
Show that for any set $A \subset \{0,1\}^{n}$ of half size $2^{n-1}$ we have $EV\geq 4^{n-1}$
Here $E$-denotes edge-boundary of $A$, i.e., the number of edges between $A$ and its complement; and $V$ ...

For which $n$ is the minimum max entry of an $n$ by $n$ orthogonal matrix known? Is $n=3$ already an open problem?
Crossposted on Mathematics SE, where the question Orthogonal matrices with small entries was brought to my attention, though it is about bounds rather than exact values.
Let $\| A \|_{\max} := \max\...

How many iterations to solve this 'ultimate challenge' equation?
I've been benchmarking root-finding methods on this equation :
$$f(x) = e^{\sin(10x)} \cdot \arctan(100x) + \ln(x+1) \cdot \cos\left(\frac{1}{x+0.1}\right) - 5$$
Properties :
