We consider a new type of obstacle problem in the cylindrical domain $\Omega=D\times (0,1)$ arising from minimization of the functional $$ \int_\Omega \frac{1}{2}|\nabla u|^2+\chi_{\{v>0\}}udx, $$ where $v(x')=\int_0^1 u(x', t) dt $. We…

In this note we study the boundary regularity of solutions to nonlocal Dirichlet problems of the form $Lu=0$ in $\Omega$, $u=g$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus\Omega$, in non-smooth domains $\Omega$. When $g$ is smooth enough, then it is easy to…

Previous algorithms can solve convex-concave minimax problems $\min_{x \in \mathcal{X}} \max_{y \in \mathcal{Y}} f(x,y)$ with $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{-2/3})$ second-order oracle calls using Newton-type methods. This result has been…
