This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…

This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…

We generalize and improve the original characterization given by Valadier [18, Theorem 1] of the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, involving the subdifferentials of the data functions at nearby points. We remove…

A simple version for the extension of the Taylor theorem to the operator functions was found. The expansion was done with respect to a value given by a diagonal matrix for the non-commutative case, and the coefficients are given both by…

We examine the behavior of accelerated gradient methods in smooth nonconvex unconstrained optimization, focusing in particular on their behavior near strict saddle points. Accelerated methods are iterative methods that typically step along…

We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let $H$…

In this paper, we consider a non-linear fourth-order evolution equation of Cahn-Hilliard-type on evolving surfaces with prescribed velocity, where the non-linear terms are only assumed to have locally Lipschitz derivatives. High-order…

In 1957, Chandler Davis proved that unitarily invariant convex functions on the space of hermitian matrices are precisely those which are convex and symmetrically invariant on the set of diagonal matrices. We give a simple perturbation…

We investigate the location of the maximal gradient of the torsion function on certain non-symmetric planar domains. First, by establishing uniform estimates for convex narrow domains, we show that as a planar domain bounded by two graphs…

In 1956 Marguerite Frank and Paul Wolfe proved that a quadratic function which is bounded below on a polyhedron $P$ attains its infimum on $P$. In this work we search for larger classes of sets $F$ with this Frank-and-Wolfe property. We…

A classical result of Rothschild and van Lint asserts that if every non-zero Fourier coefficient of a Boolean function $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_2^{n}$ has the same absolute value, namely $|\hat{f}(\alpha)|=1/2^k$ for every $\alpha$ in the…

In 2000, Kadell gave an orthogonality conjecture for a symmetric function generalization of the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson theorem or the $q$-Dyson constant term identity. This conjecture was proved by K\'{a}rolyi, Lascoux and Warnaar…

The paper is devoted to the fixed point theory in four aspects: of contractions, nonexpansive mappings, generalized inward mappings, and of the tool theorems. The manuscript was written about ten years ago. At first Nadler's concept of…

Consider a partition of $R^n$ into finitely many polyhedral regions $D_i$ and associated drift vectors $\mu_i\in R^n$. We study ``hybrid'' dynamical systems whose trajectories have a constant drift, $\dot x=\mu_i$, whenever $x$ is in the…

In Variational Analysis, VU-theory provides a set of tools that is helpful for understanding and exploiting the structure of nonsmooth functions. The theory takes advantage of the fact that at any point, the space can be separated into two…

In 2000, Kadell gave an orthogonality conjecture for a symmetric function generalization of the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson constant term identity. The non-zero part of Kadell's conjecture is a constant term identity indexed by a weak…

We use $KKM$ theorem to prove the existence of a new fixed point theorem for non-expansive mapping:Let M be a bounded closed convex subset of Hilbert space H, and $A:M\rightarrow M$ be a non-expansive mapping, then exists a fixed point of A…

Suppose that $Q$ is a weak$^{\ast }$ compact convex subset of a dual Banach space with the Radon-Nikod\'{y}m property. We show that if $(S,Q)$ is a nonexpansive and norm-distal dynamical system, then there is a fixed point of $S$ in $Q$ and…

An asymptotic analysis for a system with equation and dynamic boundary condition of Cahn-Hilliard type is carried out as the coefficient of the surface diffusion acting on the phase variable tends to 0, thus obtaining a forward-backward…

The property of exponential dichotomy can be seen as a generalization of the hyperbolicity condition for non autonomous linear finite dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations. In 1978 W.A. Coppel proved that the exponential…
