We prove a lower bound on the eigenvalues $\lambda_k$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, of the Dirichlet Laplacian of a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ of volume $V$: $$ \lambda_k \geq C_n\bigg( \delta\frac{k}{V}\bigg)^{2/n} $$ where $\delta$…

The familiar cascade measures are sequences of random positive measures obtained on $[0,1]$ via $b$-adic independent cascades. To generalize them, this paper allows the random weights invoked in the cascades to take real or complex values.…

An iterative optimization method applied to a function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ will produce a sequence of arguments $\{\mathbf{x}_k\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$; this sequence is often constrained such that $\{f(\mathbf{x}_k)\}_{k \in \mathbb{N}}$…

Boundedness properties of operators associated with non-degenerate symmetric $\alpha$-stable, $\alpha \in (1,2)$, probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are investigated on appropriate, Euclidean or otherwise, $L^p$-spaces, $p \in…

We consider elliptic operators in divergence form with lower order terms of the form $Lu=-$div$\nabla u+bu)-c\nabla u-du$, in an open set $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 3$, with possibly infinite Lebesgue measure. We assume that the…

This paper is to study some conditions on semigroups, generated by some class of non-densely defined operators in the closure of its domain, in order that certain bounded perturbations preserve some regularity properties of the semigroup…

This work introduces liftings and their associated Young measures as new tools to study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of pairs $(u_j,Du_j)j$ for $(u_j)_j \in \mathrm{BV}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$ under weak* convergence. These tools are…

For $p \in (1, \infty)$ and $s \in (0,1)$, we consider the following mixed local-nonlocal equation $$ - \Delta_p u + (-\Delta_p)^s u = f \; \text{in} \; \Omega,$$ where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a bounded domain and the function $f…

We prove several characterizations of $\mathscr{C}^{1,\omega}$-domains (aka Lyapunov domains), where $\omega$ is a growth function satisfying natural assumptions. For example, given an Ahlfors regular domain $\Omega\subseteq{\mathbb{R}}^n$,…

Using theories of phase ordering kinetics and of renormalization group, we derive analytically the relaxation times of the long wave-length fluctuations of a phase-separated domain boundary in the vicinity of (and below) the critical…

We generalize earlier studies on the Laplacian for a bounded open domain $\Omega\in \real^2$ with connected complement and piecewise smooth boundary. We compare it with the quantum mechanical scattering operator for the exterior of this…

We study quasilinear elliptic equations of the form $\text{div} \mathbf{A}(x,u,\nabla u) = \text{div}\mathbf{F} $ in bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\geq 1$. The vector field $\mathbf{A}$ is allowed to be discontinuous in $x$,…

We rigorously derive non-equilibrium space-time fluctuation for the particle density of a system of reflected diffusions in bounded Lipschitz domains in $\mathbb R^d$. The particles are independent and are killed by a time-dependent…

We use form methods to define suitable realisations of the Laplacian on a domain $\Omega$ with Wentzell boundary conditions, i.e. such that $\partial_{\mathrm{n}}u + \beta u + \Delta u = 0$ holds in a suitable sense on the boundary of…

We describe all self-adjoint realizations of the restricted fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^a$ with power $a \in (\frac{1}{2}, 1)$ on a bounded interval by imposing boundary conditions on the functions in the domain of a maximal…

Consider a locally Lipschitz function $u$ on the closure of a possibly unbounded open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $C^{1,1}$ boundary. Suppose $u$ is semiconcave on $\overline \Omega$ with a fractional semiconcavity modulus. Is it…

In this paper, we prove an extended version of the Minkowski Inequality, holding for any smooth bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 3$. Our proof relies on the discovery of effective monotonicity formulas holding along the…

We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…
