We construct a compact set in $\mathbb R^2$ of measure 0 containing a piece of a parabola of every aperture between 1 and 2. As a consequence, we improve lower bounds for the $L^p$-$L^q$ norm of the corresponding maximal operator for a…

Numerical ``direct'' approaches to time-optimal control often fail to find solutions that are singular in the sense of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, performing better when searching for saturated (bang-bang) solutions. In previous work…

Let $L$ be a closed, densely defined operator of type $ \omega $ on $ L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $0 \leq \omega < \pi/2 $. We assume that $ L $ possesses a bounded $ H_\infty $-functional calculus and that its heat kernel satisfies suitable…

We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…

We study a class of oscillatory hypersingular integral operators associated to a radial hypersurface of the form $\Gamma(t)=(t,\varphi(t)), t\in\R{n}$. When $\varphi$ satisfies suitable curvature and monotonicity conditions, we prove…

Bourgain proved that the maximal operator associated to an analytic vector field is bounded on $L^2$. In the present paper, we give a geometric proof of Bourgain's result by using the tools developed by Lacey and Li.

In this work we obtain the pointwise almost everywhere convergence for two families of multilinear operators: (a) truncated homogeneous singular integral operators associated with $L^q$ functions on the sphere and (b) lacunary multiplier…

We study the radius of absolute monotonicity R of rational functions with numerator and denominator of degree s that approximate the exponential function to order p. Such functions arise in the application of implicit s-stage, order p…

In this paper we provide explicit upper and lower bounds on certain $L^2$ $n$-widths, i.e., best constants in $L^2$ approximation. We further describe a numerical method to compute these $n$-widths approximately, and prove that this method…

Integration over curved manifolds with higher codimension and, separately, discrete variants of continuous operators, have been two important, yet separate themes in harmonic analysis, discrete geometry and analytic number theory research.…

A (d,k) set is a subset of R^d containing a translate of every k-dimensional plane. Bourgain showed that for k \geq k_{cr}(d), where k_{cr}(d) solves 2^{k_{cr}-1}+k_{cr} = d, every (d,k) set has positive Lebesgue measure. We give a short…

Consider the maximal operator $$\mathscr{C} f(x) = \sup_{\lambda\in\mathbb{R}}\Big|\sum_{\substack{y\in\mathbb{Z}^n\setminus\{0\}}} f(x-y) e(\lambda |y|^{2d}) K(y)\Big|,\quad (x\in\mathbb{Z}^n),$$ where $d$ is a positive integer, $K$ a…

In this paper, we verify the $L^2$-boundedness for the jump functions and variations of Calder\'on-Zygmund singular integral operators with the underlying kernels satisfying \begin{align*}\int_{\varepsilon\leq |x-y|\leq N}…

We study generalized Poincar\'e inequalities. We prove that if a function satisfies a suitable inequality of Poincar\'e type, then the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function also obeys a meaningful estimate of similar form. As a by-product, we…

For a Schwartz function $f$ on the plane and a non-zero $v\in\ZR^2$ define the Hilbert transform of $f$ in the direction $v$ to be $$ H_vf(x)=\text{p.v.}\int_\ZR f(x-vy) \frac{dy}y $$ Let $\zeta$ be a Schwartz function with frequency…

We prove that the optimal error of recovery in the $L_2$ norm of functions from a class $\bF$ can be bounded above by the value of the Kolmogorov width of $\bF$ in the uniform norm. We demonstrate on a number of examples of $\bF$ from…

We find the sharp range for boundedness of the discrete bilinear spherical maximal function for dimensions $d \geq 5$. That is, we show that this operator is bounded on $l^{p}(\mathbb{Z}^d)\times l^{q}(\mathbb{Z}^d) \to l^{r}(\mathbb{Z}^d)$…

This exposition presents a self-contained proof of the $A_2$ theorem, the quantitatively sharp norm inequality for singular integral operators in the weighted space $L^2(w)$. The strategy of the proof is a streamlined version of the…

We show an optimal version of the Rellich theorem for generalized many-body Schrodinger operators. It applies to singular potentials, in particular to a model for atoms and molecules with infinite mass and finite extent nuclei. Our proof…

The local $L^2$-mapping property of Fourier integral operators has been established in H\"ormander \cite{H} and in Eskin \cite{E}. In this paper, we treat the global $L^2$-boundedness for a class of operators that appears naturally in many…
