We prove that two fixed univariate functions, namely, an arbitrary continuous non-affine function and a concrete affine function, are sufficient to approximate continuous functions of one variable under the operations of addition and…

It is well-known that for any inner function $\theta$ defined in the unit disk $D$ the following two conditons: $(i)$ there exists a sequence of polynomials $\{p_n\}_n$ such that $\lim_{n \to \infty} \theta(z) p_n(z) = 1$ for all $z \in D$,…

Consider an ergodic stationary random field $A$ on the ambient space $\mathbb R^d$. In a companion article, we introduced the notion of multiscale (first-order) functional inequalities, which extend standard functional inequalities like…

For arbitrary semimetric space $(X, d)$ and disjoint proximinal subsets $A$, $B$ of $X$ we define the proximinal graph as a bipartite graph with parts $A$ and $B$ whose edges $\{a, b\}$ satisfy the equality $d(a, b) = \operatorname{dist}(A,…

In our present investigation we propose to study and develop the I-function of two variables analogous to the I-function of one variable introduced and studied by one of the authors[24]. The conditions for convergence, series…

We generalize the property that Riemann sums of a continuous function corresponding to equidistant subdivision of an interval converge to the integral of that function, and we give some applications of this generalization.

In this note we prove convergence of Green functions with Neumann boundary conditions for the random walk to their continuous counterparts. Also a few Beurling type hitting estimates are obtained for the random walk on discretizations of…

Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

In this paper, we discuss the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: a smooth function plus a non-smooth function. Further, the smooth part can be expressed by the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and…

We extend the recent boundedness result of Kurka for Hardy-Littlewood maximal function to discrete setting.

We give sufficient conditions for the bounded law of the iterated logarithms for strictly stationary random fields when the summation is done on rectangle. The study is done by the control of an appropriated maximal function. The case of…

We derive upper bounds on the difference between the orthogonal projections of a smooth function $u$ onto two finite element spaces that are nearby, in the sense that the support of every shape function belonging to one but not both of the…

Let d be a positive integer. We show a finiteness theorem for semialgebraic RL triviality of a Nash family of Nash functions defined on a Nash manifold, generalising Benedetti-Shiota's finiteness theorem for semialgebraic RL equivalence…

This short note provides a survey on rigidity and almost rigidity results of Green functions in a non-smooth setting. We also make some observation on the Cheeger-Yau inequality on RCD spaces of non-negative Ricci curvature with…

If $f\in L^2(R^d)$ and if the function $f(x)f(y)$ is close in $L^2(R^{2d})$ norm to a radially symmetric function of $(x,y)$ then $f$ is close in $L^2$ norm to a centered Gaussian function. This is proved in a quantitative form with the…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…

Motivated by conforming finite element methods for elliptic problems of second order, we analyze the approximation of the gradient of a target function by continuous piecewise polynomial functions over a simplicial mesh. The main result is…

Wiegerinck has shown that a separately subharmonic function need not be subharmonic. Improving previous results of Lelong, of Avanissian, of Arsove and of us, Armitage and Gardiner gave an almost sharp integrability condition which ensures…

Approximation of entire functions by their pad\'e approximants has been examined in the past. It is true that generically such an approximation holds. However, examining this problem from another viewpoint, we obtain stronger generic…

The two-functional conjecture says that if a function f analytic and univalent in the unit disk maximizes Re{L} and Re{M} for two continuous linear functionals L and M, L is not equal to cM for any c>0, then f is a rotation of the Koebe…
