We prove that almost all random subsets of a finite vector space are weak Salem sets (small Fourier coefficient), which extend a result of Hayes to a different probability model.

Motivated by the works of Liu, we provide a unified approach to find Appell-Lerch series and Hecke-type series representations for mock theta functions. We establish a number of parameterized identities with two parameters $a$ and $b$. Specializing the choices of $(a,b)$, we not only give various known and new representations for the mock theta functions of orders 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8, but also present many other interesting identities. We find that some mock theta functions of different orders are related to each other, in the sense that their representations can be deduced from the same $(a,b)$-parameterized identity. Furthermore, we introduce the concept of false Appell-Lerch series. We then express the Appell-Lerch series, false Appell-Lerch series and Hecke-type series in this paper using the building blocks $m(x,q,z)$ and $f_{a,b,c}(x,y,q)$ introduced by Hickerson and Mortenson, as well as $\overline{m}(x,q,z)$ and $\overline{f}_{a,b,c}(x,y,q)$ introduced in this paper. We also show the equivalences of our new representations for several mock theta functions and the known representations.

We give an explicit formula for the logarithmic potential of the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the sequence {(dn/dzn)(R(z)expT(z))}∞n=1. Here, R(z) is a rational function with at least two poles, all of which are distinct, and T(z) is a polynomial. This is an extension of a recent measure-theoretic refinement of Pólya’s Shire theorem for rational functions.

To characterize the complete structure of the Fucik spectrum of the p-Laplacian on higher dimensional domains is a long-standing problem. In this paper, we study the p-Laplacian with integrable potentials on an interval under the Dirichlet or the Neumann boundary conditions. Based on the strong continuity and continuous differentiability of solutions in potentials, we will give a comprehensive characterization of the corresponding Fucik spectra: each of them is composed of two trivial lines and a double-sequence of differentiable, strictly decreasing, hyperbolic-like curves; all asymptotic lines of these spectral curves are precisely described by using eigenvalues of the p-Laplacian with potentials; and moreover, all these spectral curves have strong continuity in potentials, i.e. as potentials vary in the weak topology, these spectral curves are continuously dependent on potentials in a certain sense.

We prove a structure theorem for any n-rectifiable set E⊂Rn+1,n≥1, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite Hn (n-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that Hn-almost all of E can be covered by a countable union of boundaries of bounded Lipschitz domains contained in Rn+1∖E. As a consequence, for harmonic measure in the complement of such a set E, we establish a non-degeneracy condition which amounts to saying that Hn|E is “absolutely continuous” with respect to harmonic measure in the sense that any Borel subset of E with strictly positive Hn measure has strictly positive harmonic measure in some connected component of Rn+1∖E. We also provide some counterexamples showing that our result for harmonic measure is optimal. Moreover, we show that if, in addition, a set E as above is the boundary of a connected domain Ω⊂Rn+1 which satisfies an infinitesimal interior thickness condition, then Hn|∂Ω is absolutely continuous (in the usual sense) with respect to harmonic measure for Ω. Local versions of these results are also proved: if just some piece of the boundary is n-rectifiable then we get the corresponding absolute continuity on that piece. As a consequence of this and recent results in “Rectifiability of harmonic measure” [Geom. Funct. Anal. 26 (2016), 703–728], we can decompose the boundary of any open connected set satisfying the previous conditions in two disjoint pieces: one that is n-rectifiable where Hausdorff measure is absolutely continuous with respect to harmonic measure and another purely n-unrectifiable piece having vanishing harmonic measure.

In this paper, we study the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of fourth order differential equations. By using variational methods, the existence and the non-existence of nontrivial homoclinic solutions are obtained, depending on a parameter.

We show that sparse and Carleson coefficients are equivalent for every countable collection of Borel sets and hence, in particular, for dyadic rectangles, the case relevant to the theory of bi-parameter singular integrals. The key observation is that a dual refomulation by I. E. Verbitsky for Carleson coefficients over dyadic cubes holds also for Carleson coefficients over general sets.
