In this paper we study a perturbed sublinear elliptic problem in $\mathbb{R}^N$. In particular, using variational methods, we establish a result that ensures the existence of at least three weak solutions.

Let $p$ be a prime number, $\Q_p$ the field of $p$-adic numbers, $K$ a finite field extension of $\Q_p$, $\skew4\bar K$ a fixed algebraic closure of $K$, and $\C_p$ the completion of $\skew4\bar K$ with respect to the $p$-adic valuation. We discuss some properties of Lipschitzian elements, which are elements $T$ of $\C_p$ defined by a certain metric condition that allows one to integrate Lipschitzian functions along the Galois orbit of $T$ over $K$ with respect to the Haar distribution.

In this paper, we get a necessary and sufficient condition for the normalizers of higher dimensional Kleinian groups to be discrete. Also we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the isomorphisms between two higher dimensional Kleinian groups induced by quasiconformal mappings to be the same.

We consider the discrete Boussinesq integrable system and the compatible set of differential difference, and partial differential equations. The latter not only encode the complete hierarchy of the Boussinesq equation, but also incorporate the hyperbolic Ernst equations for an Einstein-Maxwell-Weyl field in general relativity. We demonstrate a specific symmetry reduction of the partial differential equations, to a six-parameter, second order coupled system of ordinary differential equations, which is conjectured to be of Garnier type.

The notion of a strongly dense inner product space is introduced and it is shown that, for such an incomplete space $S$ (in particular, for each incomplete hyperplane of a Hilbert space), the system $F(S)$ of all orthogonally closed subspaces of $S$ is not stateless, and the state-space of $F(S)$ is affinely homeomorphic to the face consisting of the free states on the projection lattice corresponding to the completion of $S$. The homeomorphism is determined by the extension of the states. In particular, when $S$ is complex, the state-space of $F(S)$ is affinely homeomorphic to the state-space of the Calkin algebra associated with $\skew3\overline S$.

We show that if $\mathcal S$ is a compact Riemann surface of genus $g=p+1$, where $p$ is prime, with a group of automorphisms $G$ such that $|G|\geq\lambda(g-1)$ for some real number $\lambda>6$, then for all sufficiently large $p$ (depending on $\lambda$), $\mathcal S$ and $G$ lie in one of six infinite sequences of examples. In particular, if $\lambda=8$ then this holds for all $p\geq 17$.

Extending the so called coupled KP hierarchy to negative time flows one obtains coupled Toda-type equations defined on a two-dimensional lattice. These equations allow for reductions to 1+1 dimensional integrable systems that are defined on a finite part of this lattice. A system of coupled Hirota bilinear equations, obtained from such a reduction and defined on only 5 points of the lattice, will be shown to correspond to a coupling of a Tzitzeica equation to two linear equations. The Lax representation of this system is also presented.

We show that there is a unique norm-preserving extension for norm-attaining 2-homogeneous polynomials on the predual $d_*(w,1)$ of a complex Lorentz sequence space $d(w,1)$ to $d^*(w,1)$, but there is no unique norm-preserving extension from $\mathcal{P}(^nd_*(w,1))$ to $\mathcal{P}(^nd^*(w,1))$ for $n\geq3$.

In this article, we derive a partition result and employ its special case to offer a new proof for an identity of N. J. Fine.

This paper is mainly dedicated to describing the congruences on certain monoids of transformations on a finite chain $X_n$ with $n$ elements. Namely, we consider the monoids $\od_n$ and $\mpod_n$ of all full, respectively partial, transformations on $X_n$ that preserve or reverse the order, as well as the submonoid $\po_n$ of $\mpod_n$ of all its order-preserving elements. The inverse monoid $\podi_n$ of all injective elements of $\mpod_n$ is also considered.

We show that in $\po_n$ any congruence is a Rees congruence, but this may not happen in the monoids $\od_n$, $\podi_n$ and $\mpod_n$. However in all these cases the congruences form a chain.
