Classically, Plateau's problem asks to find a surface of the least area with a given boundary $B$. In this article, we investigate a version of Plateau's problem, where the boundary of an admissible surface is only required to partially…
We compute the minimal exponent of the affine cone over a complete intersection of smooth projective hypersurfaces intersecting transversely. The upper bound for the minimal exponent is proved, more generally, in the weighted homogeneous…
We give a simple and natural method for computing approximately optimal solutions for minimizing a convex function $f$ over a convex set $K$ given by a separation oracle. Our method utilizes the Frank--Wolfe algorithm over the cone of valid…

The aperture angle alpha(x, Q) of a point x not in Q in the plane with respect to a convex polygon Q is the angle of the smallest cone with apex x that contains Q. The aperture angle approximation error of a compact convex set C in the…
We establish a result which states that regularizing an inverse problem with the gauge of a convex set $C$ yields solutions which are linear combinations of a few extreme points or elements of the extreme rays of $C$. These can be…
We study the soap film capillarity problem, in which soap films are modeled as sets of least perimeter among those having prescribed (small) volume and satisfying a topological spanning condition. When the given boundary is the closed…

A problem of scattering by a Dirichlet right angle on a discrete square lattice is studied. The waves are governed by a discrete Helmholtz equation. The solution is looked for in the form of the Sommerfeld integral. The Sommerfeld…
We interpret the log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture of B\"or\"oczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang as a spectral problem in centro-affine differential geometry. In particular, we show that the Hilbert-Brunn-Minkowski operator coincides with the…
Let $K$ be a convex pentagon in the plane and let $K_1$ be the pentagon bounded by the diagonals of $K$. It has been conjectured that the maximum of the ratio between the areas of $K_1$ and $K$ is reached when $K$ is an affine regular…
I extend the framework of rigid analytic geometry to the setting of algebraic geometry relative to monoids, and study the associated notions of separated, proper, and overconvergent morphisms. The category of affine manifolds embeds as a…
We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…
In this paper, we study a shape optimization problem for the torsional energy associated with a domain contained in an infinite cylinder, under a volume constraint. We prove that a minimizer exists for all fixed volumes and show some of its…
We consider the inverse problem of reconstructing general solutions to the Helmholtz equation on some domain $\Omega$ from their values at scattered points $x_1,\dots,x_n\subset \Omega$. This problem typically arises when sampling acoustic…
In this work, we fully explore three refined convergence structures of the lowest-order rectangular Raviart-Thomas element in solving the Laplace eigenvalue problem. Firstly, the scheme possesses a property of supercloseness between the…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, convex, centrally symmetric in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ with a connected $C^{2,\epsilon}$ ($\epsilon\in(0,1)$) boundary. We show that, if the following overdetermined elliptic problem \begin{equation} -\Delta u=\alpha…
Minimal surfaces and domain walls play important roles in various contexts of spacetime physics as well as material science. In this paper, we first review the Bernstein conjecture, which asserts that a plane is the only globally well…
The paper deals with the homogenization of a linear Boltzmann equation by the means of the sigma-convergence method. Under a general deterministic assumption on the coefficients of the equation, we prove that the density of the particles…
Recently, a method to compute the implicit equation of a parametrized hypersurface has been developed by the authors. We address here some questions related to this method. First, we prove that the degree estimate for the stabilization of…
