Let \[ \mu(r)=\frac{\pi}{2}\frac{\Kc(r')}{\Kc(r)}, \qquad r'=\sqrt{1-r^2},\qquad 0<r<1, \] be the Gr\"otzsch modulus function. Problems 3.38(a)--(b) in a survey of Vuorinen ask whether Newton's iteration for $\mu^{-1}(y)$, initialized by $x_0=1/\cosh y$, converges for every $y>\pi/2$, and whether it is strictly increasing when $y>\pi$. We prove both assertions. The main point is that $\mu$ has exactly one inflection point $a\in(1/2,1/\sqrt2)$. If the zero lies in the convex region, the Newton iterates increase to it from the left. If the zero lies in the concave region, the orbit crosses the inflection point, overshoots the zero at most once, and then decreases to the zero. For $y>\pi$ we obtain the stronger estimate $0<x_n<x_{n+1}<\mu^{-1}(y)<3-2\sqrt2<1.$
Let $\gamma\subset\mathbb R^{m},\,m\geq2,$ be a closed curve of length $2\pi$ with its curvature $\kappa$, parametrized by arc length, and let $\lambda_\gamma$ be the first eigenvalue of the periodic curvature Schr\"odinger operator $-d^2/d s^2+\kappa(s)^2$. We obtain \[ \lambda_\gamma\geq \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} \left(\f...
Let $\alpha$ be irrational and let $q_j$ be the denominators of its continued-fraction convergents. We study the function \[ h(x)=\sum_{j\geq1}\frac{\cos(2\pi q_jx)}{q_j} \] and the skew product \[f(x,y)=(x+\alpha,y+h(x))\quad\mathrm{mod}\quad\mathbb{Z}^2.\] The function $h$ is H\"older continuous of every exponent bel...
Let $\mu$ be the M\"obius function and $e(t)=e^{2\pi it}$. We prove that if $N\ge2$, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, $(a,q)=1$, and $|\alpha-a/q|\le q^{-2}$, then \[\bigg|\sum_{n\le N}\mu^2(n)e(\alpha n)\bigg|\ll\left(\frac Nq+q\right)(\log 2N)^5, \] with an absolute implied constant, and we deduce the corresponding estimate on...

The (B)-theorem of Cordero-Erausquin, Fradelizi and Maurey states that if $\gamma$ is the standard Gaussian in $\mathbb R^n$, $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ is an origin-symmetric convex set, and $s, t \in \mathbb R$ then $\gamma\left(e^{\frac{s + t}{2}} K\right) \ge \sqrt{\gamma(e^{s} K) \gamma(e^{t} K)}$.

For a (not necessarily smooth) bounded domain Ω$\Omega$ of RN$\mathbb {R}^N$ , N⩾2$N \geqslant 2$ and a Carathéodory vector‐valued function a:Ω×RN→RN$a:\Omega \times \mathbb {R}^N \rightarrow \mathbb {R}^N$ , we study the compactness of the inverse of the Leray–Lions operator A(u)=−div(a(x,∇u))$A(u)=-\text{div}(a(x, \n...

Let $\pi_n$ be the monic polynomial of degree $n$ orthogonal on $[-c,c]$, $0<c\leq1$, with respect to the Jacobi weight $(1-x)^\alpha(1+x)^\beta$, where $-1<\alpha<\beta$. Gautschi conjectured that \[ \left[ \frac{\pi_n(-c)}{\pi_n(c)} \right]^2 \left(\frac{1-c}{1+c}\right)^{\beta-\alpha}<1. \] By his variation formula,...
