We prove new results on existence of solutions for the prescribed gaussian curvature problem on the euclidean sphere S^2. Those results are achieved by relating this problem with the holomorphic triples theory on Riemann surfaces. We think this approach might be applied to study some other semi-linear elliptic equation…

In this paper, we study the following problem $$ \{{ll} Δ_{H^n} u-u+u^p=0 & in H^n u>0& in H^n u(x)\to 0 &ρ(x)\to\infty}. $$ where $1<p < \frac{Q+2}{Q-2}$, Q is the homogeneous dimension of Heisenberg group $H^n$. Our main result is that this problem has at least one positive solution.

In this paper we analyse semi-linear systems of partial differential equations which are motivated by the conformal formulation of the Einstein constraint equations coupled with realistic physical fields on asymptotically Euclidean (AE) manifolds. In particular, electromagnetic fields give rise to this kind of system. …

The linearizability of differential equations was first considered by Lie for scalar second order semi-linear ordinary differential equations.

New method for analyzing elliptic and parabolic equations.

Recent machine learning algorithms dedicated to solving semi-linear PDEs are improved by using different neural network architectures and different parameterizations.

We consider the optimal investment problem when the traded asset may default, causing a jump in its price. For an investor with constant absolute risk aversion, we compute indifference prices for defaultable bonds, as well as a price for dynamic protection against default. For the latter problem, our work complements S…

On a Möbius surface, as defined by D. Calderbank, we study a variant of the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equation which we call scalar-flat Möbius EW (sf-MEW).
