For systems of ordinary differential equations on a compact interval, we study the character of solvability of the most general linear boundary-value problems in Sobolev spaces. We find the indices of these problems and obtain a criterion…
We study an optimization problem in which the objective is given as a sum of logarithmic-polynomial functions. This formulation is motivated by statistical estimation principles such as maximum likelihood estimation, and by loss functions…
The Dunkl-Coulomb system in the plane is considered. The model is defined in terms of the Dunkl Laplacian, which involves reflection operators, with a $r^{-1}$ potential. The system is shown to be maximally superintegrable and exactly…
The aim of the present paper is to study existence results of minimizers of the critical fractional Sobolev constant on bounded domains. Under some values of the fractional parameter we show that the best constant is achieved. If moreover…
We study the ground state energy of the Neumann magnetic Laplacian on planar domains. For a constant magnetic field we consider the question whether, under an assumption of fixed area, the disc maximizes this eigenvalue. More generally, we…
We derive a three-term asymptotic expansion for the expected lifetime of Brownian motion and for the torsional rigidity on thin domains in R^n, and a two-term expansion for the maximum (and corresponding maximizer) of the expected lifetime.…
We consider the monotonic tracking control problem for continuous-time single-input single-output linear systems using output-feedback linear controllers in this paper. We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions for this problem to…

This work advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite…
This paper considers an optimal impulse control problem of dynamical systems generated by a flow. The performance criteria are total costs over the infinite time horizon. Apart from the main performance to be minimized, there are multiple…
Trajectories in logarithmic potentials are investigated by taking as example the motion of an electron within a cylindrical capacitor. The solution of the equation of motion in plane polar coordinates, (r,{\phi}) is attained by forming a…
We consider many-body problems in classical mechanics where a wide range of time scales limits what can be computed. We apply the method of optimal prediction to obtain equations which are easier to solve numerically. We demonstrate by…
Large optimal transport problems can be approached via domain decomposition, i.e. by iteratively solving small partial problems independently and in parallel. Convergence to the global minimizers under suitable assumptions has been shown in…

Solving equilibrium problems under constraints is an important problem in optimization and optimal control. In this context an important practical challenge is the efficient incorporation of constraints. We develop a continuous-time method…
