We show a second order a priori estimate for solutions to the complex $k$-Hessian equation on a compact K\"ahler manifold provided the $(k$-$1)$-st root of the right hand side is $\mathcal C^{1,1}$. This improves an estimate of Hou-Ma-Wu.…

An asymptotic formula is proved for the k-fold divisor function averaged over homogeneous polynomials of degree k in k-1 variables coming from incomplete norm forms.
We give stability and consistency results for higher order Gr\"unwald-type formulae used in the approximation of solutions to fractional-in-space partial differential equations. We use a new Carlson-type inequality for periodic Fourier…
We show that H\"older continuity of the gradient is not only a sufficient condition, but also a necessary condition for the existence of a global upper bound on the error of the first-order Taylor approximation. We also relate this global…
It is proved that one cannot approximate stably the first derivative of a smooth function given noisy values of this function and a bound on this function and its first derivative. Such an approximation is shown to be possible if an a…
Exploiting higher-order derivatives in convex optimization is known at least since 1970's. In each iteration higher-order (also called tensor) methods minimize a regularized Taylor expansion of the objective function, which leads to faster…
We provide a generalization of first-order necessary conditions of optimality for infinite-dimensional optimization problems with a finite number of inequality constraints and with a finite number of inequality and equality constraints. Our…
We propose a natural family of higher-order partial differential equations generalizing the second-order Klein-Gordon equation. We characterize the associated model by means of a generalized action for a scalar field, containing…
For an algebraic number $\alpha$ we consider the orders of the reductions of $\alpha$ in finite fields. In the case where $\alpha$ is an integer, it is known by the work on Artin's primitive root conjecture that the order is "almost always…
Variational convexity, together with ist strong counterpart, of extended-real-valued functions has been recently introduced by Rockafellar. In this paper we present second-order characterizations of these properties, i.e., conditions using…
In a previous paper of the second author with K. Ono, surprising multiplicative properties of the partition function were presented. Here, we deal with $k$-regular partitions. Extending the generating function for $k$-regular partitions…
In this paper, a $k$-th generalized modulus of smoothness is defined based on an asymmetric operator of generalized translation and a theorem is proved about the coincidence of class of functions defined by this modulus and a class of…
Building on the inequalities for homogeneous tetrahedral polynomials in independent Gaussian variables due to R. Lata{\l}a we provide a concentration inequality for non-necessarily Lipschitz functions $f\colon \R^n \to \R$ with bounded…
In this note, we consider the complexity of optimizing a highly smooth (Lipschitz $k$-th order derivative) and strongly convex function, via calls to a $k$-th order oracle which returns the value and first $k$ derivatives of the function at…
The optimal value function is one of the basic objects in the field of mathematical optimization, as it allows the evaluation of the variations in the cost/revenue generated while minimizing/maximizing a given function under some…
We first prove De Giorgi type level estimates for functions in $W^{1,t}(\Omega)$, $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, with $t>N\geq 2$. This augmented integrability enables us to establish a new Harnack type inequality for functions which do not…
A method is given for finding roots of a one-variable function using Taylor's expansion of that function and fractional derivative calculated at a suitable tangent point without using Newton's method, but is regarded as a variant of Halley…
We embark on a systematic study of the $(k+1)$-th derivative of $x^{k-r}H(x^r)$, where $H(x):=-x\log x-(1-x)\log(1-x)$ is the binary entropy and $k>r\geq 1$ are integers. Our motivation is the conjectural entropy inequality $\alpha_k…
