Continuum limits of particles interacting via diffusion by Nicholas D. Alikakos, Giorgio Fusco, Georgia Karali

“…We distinguish between two different cases and we derive the classical mean-field model and another continuum limit corresponding to critical density which can be related to a continuity equation obtained recently by Niethammer andOtto. So, the theory of Lifshitz, Slyozov, and Wagner is improved by taking into account the geometry of the spatial distribution.…”

Analytic Erdös-Turán conjectures and Erdös-Fuchs theorem by L. Haddad, C. Helou, J. Pihko

“…The sequences of such coefficients have a lot of similarity with sequences of natural numbers considered in additive number theory. It is this analogy that we pursue, thus establishing many properties and giving equivalent statements to the well-known Erdös-Turán conjectures in terms of supported series and extending to them a version of Erdös-Fuchs theorem.…”

Multiplicity Results to a Conformable Fractional Differential Equations Involving Integral Boundary Condition by Shuman Meng, Yujun Cui

“…In this article, by using topological degree theory couple with the method of lower and upper solutions, we study the existence of at least three solutions to Riemann-Stieltjes integral initial value problem of the type Dαx(t)=f(t,x),  t∈[0,1], x(0)=∫01x(t)dA(t), where Dαx(t) is the standard conformable fractional derivative of order α, 0<α≤1, and f∈C([0,1]×R,R). …”

Generalised Interval-Valued Fuzzy Soft Set by Shawkat Alkhazaleh, Abdul Razak Salleh

“…We give applications of this theory in solving a decision making problem. We also introduce a similarity measure of two generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft sets and discuss its application in a medical diagnosis problem: fuzzy set; soft set; fuzzy soft set; generalised fuzzy soft set; generalised interval-valued fuzzy soft set; interval-valued fuzzy set; interval-valued fuzzy soft set.…”

From Fibonacci Sequence to the Golden Ratio by Alberto Fiorenza, Giovanni Vincenzi

“…We consider the well-known characterization of the Golden ratio as limit of the ratio of consecutive terms of the Fibonacci sequence, and we give an explanation of this property in the framework of the Difference Equations Theory. We show that the Golden ratio coincides with this limit not because it is the root with maximum modulus and multiplicity of the characteristic polynomial, but, from a more general point of view, because it is the root with maximum modulus and multiplicity of a restricted set of roots, which in this special case coincides with the two roots of the characteristic polynomial. …”

Imagining Oneself as Forming a Whole with Others: Descartes’s View of Love by Melanie Tate

“…In this paper, I address two widespread misconceptions about Descartes’s theory of love. Descartes defines love as a passion that ‘incites [the soul] to join in volition to the objects that appear to be suitable to it’ (AT XI: 387/Voss: 62). …”

TEXTURALISM by Andrei C. COZMA

“…A delimitation of a notion that includes such a diversity of compositional methods into a stylistic unity still tapped into by composers is achieved by analysing some particular characteristics of a few textural pieces and other attributes that are common to various other pieces. The suggested theory of texturalism thus systemizes an important part of the 20th century music in which compositional techniques of other style defining musical practices are grouped together with singular technical features. …”
