We perform a mathematical and statistical analysis of the Wasserstein least squares problem, a regression method for vector-valued covariates and distribution-valued responses. Our proposal contrasts with other distributional regression…
We exploit the connection between quantum dot Dirac operators and $\overline\partial$-Robin Laplacians. First, we find a graphical relation between their smallest positive eigenvalues, which allows us to deduce a recipe for translating…
Holographic coherent X-ray imaging enables nanoscale imaging of biological cells and tissues, rendering both phase and absorption contrast, i.e. real and imaginary parts of the refractive index. Unlike the standard model, which assumes a…
A central question in high-dimensional statistics is to understand statistical--computational gaps: regimes in which recovering a hidden signal is information-theoretically possible but conjectured to be computationally intractable. The…
We study estimation in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime for a broad class of Gaussian latent-variable models, including Gaussian mixtures and orbit recovery problems. We show that, in this regime, the generalized method-of-moments…
Hjort and Glad (1995) present a method for semiparametric density estimation. Relative to the ordinary kernel density estimator, this technique performs much better when a parametric vehicle distribution fits the data, and otherwise…
The shallow-water system is a standard model for long waves in shallow water. The system is hyperbolic and, for a large class of initial data, solutions develop steep gradients leading to shock formation in finite time. Since such…
We analyze how the interaction between local and nonlocal dispersions, combined with different types of nonlinearities, influences the smoothing effects of solutions. To achieve this goal, we consider a model that generalizes the KdV and…
We study positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem $-\Delta u = u^p$ in a uniformly convex domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb S^2$, $u= 0$ on $\partial\Omega.$ For $p=1$, we assume that the right-hand side is replaced by $\lambda_1 u$, where…
In this paper, we consider the generalized Navier-Stokes equations with fritional dissipation $(-\Delta)^{\beta}$ with $\beta>\frac{1}{2}$. When $\beta\in(1,2)$, We prove that smooth solutions of the generalized Navier-Stokes equations are…
We establish the existence of solutions of the 2D incompressible non-homogeneous Euler equations with $C^{0}_{t}C^{1,\,\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}}-1-\varepsilon}_{x}\cap C^{0}_{t}L^{2}_{x}$ source terms that develop a singularity in finite time. In…
We introduce the \emph{Topological Stability Index} (TSI), a variance-based scalar measure for persistence barcodes that quantifies the dispersion of persistence lifetimes. Unlike persistent entropy, which depends only on normalized…
We introduce an Indian-buffet-type model for multi-factorial innovation in which each arriving agent may exhibit both previously observed and new features. The number of new features follows a power-law behavior, while the probability of…
In this work, we analyze a diffuse-interface model for tumor growth, subject to multiplicative white noises, posed on a bounded domain $\mathcal{O} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$. The model couples a stochastic incompressible convective…
We consider the weighted $p$-Laplacian associated with a measure $\mu$ that is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on an open connected subset $X\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. We prove that Talenti's weighted…
We investigate critical polyharmonic equations of the following type: $$ Lu = |u|^{2^\sharp-2} u \quad \text{ in } \Omega $$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Here $L$ is an elliptic…
This paper concerns the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a two-dimensional half-space subject to Navier-slip boundary conditions with vacuum or non-vacuum far-field density. The global existence and large-time behavior of…
In this work, we establish the existence of mass-conserving weak solutions to a nonlinear collision-induced breakage equation in which binary collisions may trigger particle breakup. The result is proved for a class of product-type…
We derive the first-moment Shallow Water Exner Moment model with sediment entrainment and deposition (SWEMED1) and show that the full source term has a fully-settled water-at-rest equilibrium manifold. We prove that the model is only weakly…
Let $L$ be the Dunkl Laplacian on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^N$ associated with a normalized root system $R$ and a multiplicity function $k(\nu)\geq 0$, $\nu\in R$. We establish a Leibniz-type rule for the fractional powers of $L$ on…
