In this paper we extend the interior regularity results for stable solutions in [Cabr\'{e}, Figalli, Ros-Oton, and Serra, Acta Math. 224 (2020)] to operators with variable coefficients. We show that stable solutions to the semilinear…

We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…

A statistical functional, such as the mean or the median, is called elicitable if there is a scoring function or loss function such that the correct forecast of the functional is the unique minimizer of the expected score. Such scoring…

A bar-joint framework $(G,p)$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is rigid if the only edge-length preserving continuous motions of the vertices arise from isometries of $\mathbb{R}^d$. It is known that, when $(G,p)$ is generic, its rigidity depends only on…

How does one determine if a collection of bars joined by freely rotating hinges cannot be deformed without changing the length of any of the bars? In other words, how does one determine if a bar-joint graph is rigid? This question has been…

Investigation of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions containing two parameters has been a very active research area over the last decade. We believe, however, that their monotonicity and convexity properties with respect…

We prove that a function, which is defined on a union of lines $\mathbb{C} E$ through the origin in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with direction vectors in $E\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ and is holomorphic of fixed finite order and finite type along each line,…

Harmonic functions of two variables are exactly those that admit a conjugate, namely a function whose gradient has the same length and is everywhere orthogonal to the gradient of the original function. We show that there are also partial…

We study a modified notion of Ollivier's coarse Ricci curvature on graphs introduced by Lin, Lu, and Yau in [11]. We establish a rigidity theorem for complete graphs that shows a connected finite simple graph is complete if and only if the…

In this paper, we have studied first the idea of rough continuity of real valued functions of real variables and then we have discussed some important properties of rough continuity. Then we study the idea of rough $I$-continuity of real…

We consider the well-travelled problem of homogenization of random integral functionals. When the integrand has standard growth conditions, the qualitative theory is well-understood. When it comes to unbounded functionals, that is, when the…

We say that a random vector $X=(X_1,...,X_n)$ in $R^n$ is an $n$-dimensional version of a random variable $Y$ if for any $a\in R^n$ the random variables $\sum a_iX_i$ and $\gamma(a) Y$ are identically distributed, where $\gamma:R^n\to…

The ring operations and the metric on $C(X)$ are extended to the set $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ of all nearly finite Hausdorff continuous interval valued functions and it is shown that $\mathbb{H}_{nf}(X)$ is both rationally and topologically…

We prove that if $f:I\subset \Bbb R\to \Bbb R$ is of bounded variation, then the noncentered maximal function $Mf$ is absolutely continuous, and its derivative satisfies the sharp inequality $\|DMf\|_1\le |Df|(I)$. This allows us obtain,…

The paper is centered around a new proof of the infinitesimal rigidity of convex polyhedra. The proof is based on studying derivatives of the discrete Hilbert-Einstein functional on the space of "warped polyhedra" with a fixed metric on the…

Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…

Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

Let ${\mathbb T}=({\bf T},\leq)$ and ${\mathbb T}_{1}=({\bf T}_{1},\leq_{1})$ be linearly ordered sets and $\mathscr{X}$ be a topological space. The main result of the paper is the following: If function $\boldsymbol{f}(t,x):{\bf…

Sufficient boundary asymptotic conditions are established for a generalized Schur function $f$ to be identically equal to a given rational function $g$ unimodular on the unit circle. Similar rigidity statements are presented for generalized…

Let $B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $A$ and $X$. Our main result states that, unless $B$…
