Lists of open problems:
- Erdős problems (by T. Bloom)
∫ A collection of (over a thousand) problems posed by Paul Erdős. Before the AI era I authored or coauthored solutions to problems #189, #206, #266, #268, #270, #355, #379, #471 and partial solutions to problems #264, #265, #353, #893.
- Several unsolved problems in analysis and PDEs (by V. Maz'ya)
∫ Note: some problems have been solved in the meantime, e.g., problem 15 and problem 20.
- Several unsolved problems in harmonic analysis (by C. Thiele)
∫ Note: not updated; some problems have been solved in the meantime, e.g., problem 3.
