This paper studies the eigenvalues of the G(·)-Laplacian Dirichlet problem $$\{-div\;\(\frac{g(x,\;{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid})}{{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}}{\nabla}u\)={\lambda}\;\(\frac{g(x,{\mid}u{\mid})}{{\mid}u{\mid}}u\)\;in\;{\Omega}, \\u\;=\;0\;on\;{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝ^N and g is the density of a generalized Φ-function G(·). Using the Lusternik-Schnirelmann principle, we show the existence of a nondecreasing sequence of nonnegative eigenvalues.

In this paper, we prove an $L^p$ version of Donoho-Stark's uncertainty principle for the inverse of the hypergeometric Fourier transform on $\mathbb{R}^d$. Next, using the ultracontractive properties of the semigroups generated by the Heckman-Opdam Laplacian operator, we obtain an $L^p$ Heisenberg-Pauli-Weyl uncertainty principle for the inverse of the hypergeometric Fourier transform on $\mathbb{R}^d$.

We study a maximum principle for a uniformly elliptic second order differential operator in nondivergence form. We allow a bounded positive zeroth order coefficient in a certain type of unbounded domains. The results extend a result by J. Busca in a sense of domains, and we present a simple proof based on local maximum principle by Gilbarg and Trudinger with iterations.

In this paper, we classify all solutions bounded from below to uniformly elliptic equations of second order in the form of Lu(x) = a_ij(x)D_iju(x) + b_i(x)D_iu(x) + c(x)u(x) = f(x) or Lu(x) = D_i(a_ij(x)D_ju(x)) + b_i(x)D_iu(x) + c(x)u(x) = f(x) in unbounded cylinders. After establishing that the Aleksandrov maximum principle and boundary Harnack inequality hold for bounded solutions, we show that all solutions bounded from below are linear comb_inations of solutions, which are sums of two special solutions that exponential growth at one end and exponential decay at the another end, and a bounded solution that corresponds to the inhomogeneous term f of the equation.

We can easily see the 'cycloid slide' in the many mathematics and science museums. The educational materials, however, do not give us any mathematical principle. For this reason, we, in this thesis, first study the brachistochrone problem in the history of mathematics, and suggest a method of how to teach the principle using 'the dynamic geometry software GSP5' in order to help students understand the idea that the cycloid is the brachistochrone. Secondly, we examine the origin of the calculus of variations and apply it to prove the brachistochrone problem in order to build up the teachers' background knowledge. This allows us to increase the worth of history of mathematics and recognize how useful the learning is which uses technological tools or materials, and we can expect that the learning which makes use of cycloid slide will be meaningful.

In this paper we study tetrahedron's properties related with intersection of segments and planes using the principle of the lever. We analyze proof method using the principle of the lever, and describe how to prove intersection of segments and planes using the principle of the lever in tetrahedron.

A new concept of stability that includes Lyapunov and orbital stabilities and leads to concepts in between them is discussed in terms of a given topology of the function space. The criteria for such new concepts to hold are investigted employing suitably Lyapunov-like functions and the comparison principle.
