In the whole space $R^d$ ($d\ge 2$), we study homogenization of a divergence-form matrix elliptic operator $L_\varepsilon$ of an arbitrary even order larger than 2 with measurable $\varepsilon$-periodic coefficients, where $\varepsilon$ is…

We prove that for every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a metric space $(X,d_X)$, an $n$-point subset $S\subseteq X$, a Banach space $(Z,\|\cdot\|_Z)$ and a $1$-Lipschitz function $f:S\to Z$ such that the Lipschitz constant of every function…

If $(M,g)$ is a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\ge 2$ we give necessary and sufficient conditions for improved $L^p(M)$-norms of eigenfunctions for all $2<p\ne p_c=\tfrac{2(n+1)}{n-1}$, the critical exponent. Since improved…

We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We analyze a hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre in [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864--885], obtained by searching for an optimal probability…

Relying on results due to Shmerkin and Solomyak, we show that outside a $0$-dimensional set of parameters, for every planar homogeneous self-similar measure $\nu$, with strong separation, dense rotations and dimension greater than $1$,…

We introduce a generalized inverse Gaussian setting and consider the maximal operator associated with the natural analogue of a nonsymmetric Ornstein--Uhlenbeck semigroup. We prove that it is bounded on $L^{p}$ when $p\in (1,\infty]$ and…

Suppose $\{f_1,...,f_m\}$ is a set of Lipschitz maps of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We form the iterated function system (IFS) by independently choosing the maps so that the map $f_i$ is chosen with probability $p_i$ ($\sum_{i=1}^m p_i=1$). We assume…

Let (H_t) be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on R^d with covariance matrix I and drift matrix \lambda(R-I), where \lambda>0 and R is a skew-adjoint matrix and denote by \gamma_\infty the invariant measure for (H_t). Semigroups of this form…

Suppose ${\bf b}=\{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of integers bigger than 1 and ${\bf D}=\{{\mathcal D}_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of consecutive digit sets. Let $\mu_{{\bf b},{\bf D}}$ be the Cantor-Moran measure defined by…

We prove strong hypercontractivity (SHC) inequalities for logarithmically subharmonic functions on $\RR^n$ and different classes of measures: Gaussian measures on $\RR^n$, symmetric Bernoulli and symmetric uniform probability measures on…

We provide an algorithm to approximate a finitely supported discrete measure $\mu$ by a measure $\nu_{N}$ corresponding to a set of $N$ points so that the total variation between $\mu$ and $\nu_N$ has an upper bound. As a consequence if…

Given a map $u : \Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{R}^N$, the $\infty$-Laplacian is the system \[ \label{1} \Delta_\infty u \, :=\, \Big(\text{D}u \otimes \text{D}u + |\text{D}u|^2 [\text{D}u]^\bot \! \otimes I \Big) :…

Let $\textrm{Mat}_2(\mathbb{R})$ be the set of $2 \times 2$ matrices with real entries. For any $\varepsilon>0$ and any finitely--supported probability measure $\mu$ on $\textrm{Mat}_2(\mathbb{R})$, we prove that either \[ T(\mu) = \sum_{X,…

Boundedness of an abstract formulation of Hardy operators between Lebesgue spaces over general measure spaces is studied and, when the domain is L^1, shown to be equivalent to the existence of a Hardy inequality on the half line with…

The continuum $\varphi^4_2$ and $\varphi^4_3$ measures are shown to satisfy a log-Sobolev inequality uniformly in the lattice regularisation under the optimal assumption that their susceptibility is bounded. In particular, this applies to…

We consider branching processes for structured populations: each individual is characterized by a type or trait which belongs to a general measurable state space. We focus on the supercritical recurrent case, where the population may…

We derive new explicit bounds for the total variation distance between two convolution products of $n$ probability distributions, one of which having identical convolution factors. Approximations by finite signed measures of arbitrary order…

For a given $r\in (0, +\infty)$, the quantization dimension of order $r$, if it exists, denoted by $D_r(\mu)$, of a Borel probability measure $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ represents the speed how fast the $n$th quantization error of order $r$…

In 2021, Lei et al. claimed the equivalence between the two Lagrangians $\mathcal{L}_1 =-mc\sqrt{-g_{\mu\nu}{\dot{x}}^\mu{\dot{x}}^\nu}-V$ and $\mathcal{L}_2 = \frac{1}{2}mg_{\mu\nu} {\dot{x}}^\mu{\dot{x}}^\nu-V$ for describing particle…
