We study the fractional Hardy inequality on the integers. We prove the optimality of the Hardy weight and hence affirmatively answer the question of sharpness of the constant.
According to a theorem of Poincare, the solutions to differential equations are analytic functions of (and therefore have Taylor expansions in) the initial conditions and various parameters providing the right sides of the differential…
We study the behavior of a general gravitational action, including quadratic terms in the curvature, supplemented by a compact scalar field in 4+1 dimensions. The generalized Einstein equation for this system admits solutions which are…
We consider Gowdy spacetimes under the assumption that the spatial hypersurfaces are diffeomorphic to the torus. The relevant equations are then wave map equations with the hyperbolic space as a target. In an article by Grubisic and…
In this short note, we provide a quantitative global Poincar\'e inequality for one forms on a closed Riemannian four manifold, in terms of an upper bound on the diameter, a positive lower bound on the volume, and a two-sided bound on Ricci…
In this paper we investigate the physical spectrum of the gravitational theory based on the Poincar\'e group with terms which are at most quadratic in tetrad and spin connection, allowing for the presence of parity-even as well as…
In this paper, we show a weighted Hardy inequality in a limiting case for functions in weighted Sobolev spaces with respect to an invariant measure. We also prove that the constant in the left-hand side of the inequality is optimal. As…
In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…
Much of the progress in the gravitational self-force problem has involved the use of singular perturbation techniques. Yet the formalism underlying these techniques is not widely known. I remedy this situation by explicating the foundations…
We prove fractional boundary Hardy's inequality in dimension one for the critical case $sp =1$. Optimality of the inequality is obtained for any $p$. The extra logarithmic correction term appears in usual fashion. We also provide a concrete…
We present convergence theory for corrected quadrature rules on uniform Cartesian grids for functions with a point singularity. We begin by deriving an error estimate for the punctured trapezoidal rule, and then derive error expansions. We…
We prove two improved versions of the Hardy-Rellich inequality for the polyharmonic operator $(-\Delta)^m$ involving the distance to the boundary. The first involves an infinite series improvement using logarithmic functions, while the…
In this paper, we prove that the discrete Copson inequality (E.T. Copson, \emph{Notes on a series of positive terms}, J. London Math. Soc., 2 (1927), 49-51) of one-dimension in general cases admits an improvement. In fact we study the…
We review the literature concerning the Hardy inequality for regions in Euclidean space and in manifolds, concentrating on the best constants. We also give applications of these inequalities to boundary decay and spectral approximation.
A new series expansion for the the Airy function is presented here that stems from the method of steepest descents and can be related to the Hadamard expansions as presented in prevous works cited in the manuscript, and which is convergent…
Under the lack of variational structure and nondegeneracy, we investigate three notions of \textit{generalized principal eigenvalue} for a general infinity Laplacian operator with gradient and homogeneous term. A Harnack inequality and…
A variational method is discussed, extending the Gaussian effective potential to higher orders. The single variational parameter is replaced by trial unknown two-point functions, with infinite variational parameters to be optimized by the…
This paper introduces a generalization of the well-known Riccati recursion for solving the discrete-time equality-constrained linear quadratic optimal control problem. The recursion can be used to compute the solutions as well as optimal…
In this paper, we study the optimal constant in the nonlocal nonlinear Poincar\'e-Wirtinger inequality in $(a,b)\subset\mathbb R$: \begin{equation*} \lambda_\alpha(p,q,r){\left(\int_{a}^{b}|u|^{q}dx\right)^\frac…
We investigate the Hardy and Rellich inequalities for classes of antisymmetric and odd functions and general exponent $p$. The obtained constants are better than the classical ones.
