We study the long-time behavior of the (critical) Kohn--Sham equation in two and three dimensions, i.e.,\[ \mathrm{i} \partial_t {\gamma} = \Big[-\frac{1}{2}\Delta + \lambda \, |\cdot|^{-1} \ast \rho_{{\gamma}} + \mu \,…

We study the anisotropic Finsler $p$-Laplacian equation \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &-\Delta ^{H}_{p}u=f(u) \quad\,\,\, &{\rm{in}} \,\, \mathcal{C}, &{\bf{a}}(\nabla u)\cdot \nu =0 \quad\,\,\, &{\rm{on}} \,\,…

Motivated by the introduction of the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation as a higher dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, in this paper we introduce the modified Zakharov-Kuznetsov (mZK) equation as a 2-dimensional…

We develop a natural Bayesian multiplicity-correcting prior distribution within the probabilistic forward stepwise representation of model space priors for regression problems. The proposed prior, obtained from making an analogy to the Holm…

We prove existence of solutions to a nonlinear degenerate elliptic equation of the form \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta_{1} u+ \frac{|D u|}{(1-u)^{\gamma}}=g & \mbox{in $\Omega$,}\\ u=0 \hfill & \mbox{on $\partial\Omega$,} \end{cases} \] in a…

In this paper, we analyze the solvability of the discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \begin{equation*} i\beta(\Delta_t+\nabla_t)\phi(t,k) +\gamma |\phi(t,k)|^2\phi(t,k) +\varepsilon \Delta_k^2\phi(t,k-1) = g(t,\phi(t,k)),…

We derive a scale-free bound on the density of the maximum of a centered Gaussian vector. The basic bound is non-uniform, depends logarithmically on the dimension, and allows any covariance matrix. When the largest marginal variance is…

Spherical caps play a crucial role in establishing a criterion for the existence of solutions to the Yamabe problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, similar to the role played by the standard sphere in the problem on a closed…

Let $\mathbf{\eta}$ be a positive Radon measure on the space of continuous paths from R into a locally compact Polish space $Y$, and assume that $\mathbf{\eta}$ admits an invariant measure. We explicit conditions on $\mathbf{\eta}$ such…

We settle the problem of finding the sharp constant in the log Sobolev inequality on the $n$-cycle for all $n\ge 4$, by showing that it is equal to half of the spectral gap. We deduce this result from an optimal cubic Sobolev inequality.

The goal of this short note is to prove qualitative stability for a family of trace Sobolev inequalities first proven by Carlen \& Loss for $p=2$ and by Maggi and the author for $p\in (1,n)$. This answers an open problem raised in a recent…

This work addresses the mean-field limit of inertial particle systems with singular interactions in a perturbative regime around Gibbs equilibrium. We prove that small fluctuations around equilibrium are asymptotically governed by the…

Being encouraged by [AKRS] that provides an amazing bridge between Statistics and Invariant Theory, and especially by [FM], where quiver semi-invariant techniques apply to verify the existence of MLE for a recent iPCA model, we provide an…

In this paper, we consider the problem of simultaneous testing of multivariate normal means under arbitrary covariance dependence. Specifically, let $\boldsymbol{X}\sim N_n(\boldsymbol{\theta},\boldsymbol{\Sigma})$, where…

We study the two-dimensional Hele-Shaw problem with point injection for star-shaped domains. We reduce the system to a nonlocal parabolic equation of the interface, and for arbitrary Lipschitz initial interface away from the source, we…

We study the \emph{generalized Stokes operator} \begin{equation*} \bsXi \ede \bsXi _{V,V_0} \ede \left(\begin{array}{ccc} \bsL + V & \nabla \\ \nabla^* & -V_0 \end{array}\right) \end{equation*} on a \emph{domain with straight cylindrical…

We study positive solutions of the superlinear Lane-Emden inequality \(-\Delta u\ge \sigma u^q\), \(q>1\), on infinite locally finite weighted graphs and connected domains of such graphs. We first prove that solvability is equivalent to the…

Many Bayesian inference problems involve high-dimensional models where the performance of standard importance sampling (IS) methods often degrades rapidly as the dimensionality increases. Classical analyses of IS typically rely on the…

We show that small bi-Lipschitz deformations of a Lipschitz domain (with possibly large Lipschitz constant) preserve the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian with boundary data in $L^p$, for the same value of $p>1$. As a…

We study the Euler Alignment system of collective behavior, equipped with `topological' interaction protocols, which were introduced to the mathematical literature by Shvydkoy and Tadmor. Interactions subject to these protocols may depend…
