We will show in this paper that if λ is very close to 1, then can be attained, where M is a compact–manifold with boundary. This result gives a counter–example to the conjecture of de Figueiredo and Ruf in their paper titled "On an inequality by Trudinger and Moser and related elliptic equations" ( Comm. Pure. Appl. Math., 55, 135–152, 2002). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
In this paper, it is proved that with at most $$ O{\left( {N^{{\frac{{65}} {{66}}}} } \right)} $$ exceptions, all even positive integers up to N are expressible in the form $$ p^{2}_{2} + p^{3}_{3} + p^{4}_{4} + p^{5}_{5} $$ . This improves a recent result $$ O{\left( {N^{{\frac{{19193}} {{19200}} + \varepsilon }} } \right)} $$ due to C. Bauer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Let u be a solution to a second order elliptic equation with singular potentials belonging to Kato–Fefferman–Phong’s class in Lipschitz domains. An elementary proof of the doubling property for u 2 over balls is presented, if the balls are contained in the domain or centered at some points near an open subset of the boundary on which the solution u vanishes continuously. Moreover, we prove the inner unique continuation theorems and the boundary unique continuation theorems for the elliptic equations, and we derive the ℬ p weight properties for the solution u near the boundary.

A right R–module E over a ring R is said to be maximally injective in case for any maximal right ideal m of R, every R–homomorphism f : m → E can be extended to an R–homomorphism f' : R → E. In this paper, we first construct an example to show that maximal injectivity is a proper generalization of injectivity. Then we prove that any right R–module over a left perfect ring R is maximally injective if and only if it is injective. We also give a partial affirmative answer to Faith's conjecture by further investigating the property of maximally injective rings. Finally, we get an approximation to Faith's conjecture, which asserts that every injective right R–module over any left perfect right self–injective ring R is the injective hull of a projective submodule.

Let R be an exchange ring with primitive factors artinian. We prove that there exists a u∈ U( R) such that 1 R ± u ∈ U( R), if and only if for any a∈ R, there exists a u ∈ U( R) such that a ± u ∈ U( R). Furthermore, we prove that, for any A ∈ M n ( R)( n ≥ 2), there exists a U ∈ GL n ( R) such that A ± U ∈ GL n ( R). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
