The magnetostatic field distribution in a nonlinear medium amounts to the unique minimizer of the magnetic coenergy over all fields that can be generated by the same current. This is a nonlinear saddlepoint problem whose numerical solution…
A common optimization problem is the minimization of a symmetric positive definite quadratic form $< x,Tx >$ under linear constrains. The solution to this problem may be given using the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. In this work we extend…
Analytic and approximate solutions for the energy eigenvalues generated by a confined softcore Coulomb potentials of the form a/(r+\beta) in d>1 dimensions are constructed. The confinement is effected by linear and harmonic-oscillator…
We enumerate and classify all stationary logarithmic configurations of d+2 points on the unit (d-1)-sphere in d-dimensions. In particular, we show that the logarithmic energy attains its relative minima at configurations that consist of two…
We study semilinear elliptic equations with Hardy potential $\mathrm{(E)} \; -L_\mu u+u^q=0$ in a bounded smooth domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$. Here $q>1$, $L_\mu=\Delta+\frac{\mu}{\delta_\Omega^2}$ and…
In this paper, we present a method to solve the quantum marginal problem for symmetric $d$-level systems. The method is built upon an efficient semi-definite program that determines the compatibility conditions of an $m$-body reduced…

We investigate the existence of a maximiser among open, bounded, convex sets in $\R^d,\,d\ge 3$ for the product of torsional rigidity and Newtonian capacity (or logarithmic capacity if $d=2$), with constraints involving Lebesgue measure or…
We study the branch of semi-stable and unstable solutions (i.e., those whose Morse index is at most one) of the Dirichlet boundary value problem $-\Delta u=\frac{\lambda f(x)}{(1-u)^2}$ on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \R^N$, which…
In this work, we focus on separable convex optimization problems with box constraints and a set of triangular linear constraints. The solution is given in closed-form as a function of some Lagrange multipliers that can be computed through…
The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of solutions of quasi-equilibrium problems without any generalized monotonicity assumption. Additionally, we give an application to quasi-optimization problems.
We consider the problems of detection and localization of a contiguous block of weak activation in a large matrix, from a small number of noisy, possibly adaptive, compressive (linear) measurements. This is closely related to the problem of…
We study one-dimensional lattice systems with pair-wise interactions of infinite range. We show projective convergence of Markov measures to the unique equilibrium state. For this purpose we impose a slightly stronger condition than…
We establish the existence of weak solutions of coupled systems of elliptic partial differential equations with quasimonotone nonlinearities in the domain interior and on the boundary. When the nonlinearities satisfy some monotonicity…
