We consider complete Riemannian manifolds with a controlled growth of the covariant derivatives of Ricci curvatures up to order $k-2$ and a controlled decay of the injectivity radii. On such manifolds we construct distance-like functions…
In this paper, we study $(p,V)$-harmonic functions on complete Riemannian manifolds using the Moser iteration method. A volume comparison theorem and a Sobolev embedding theorem are established under the Bakry-$\acute{E}$mery curvature…
We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…
Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold with Riemannian distance $\mathsf{d}_g$, and $\mathcal{M}(M)$ be the space of all non-negative Borel measures on $M$, endowed with the Hellinger-Kantorovich distance $\mathsf{H\! K}_{\mathsf{d}_g}$…
We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…
Semilinear stochastic partial differential equations on bounded domains $\mathscr{D}$ are considered. The semilinear term may have arbitrary polynomial growth as long as it is continuous and monotone except perhaps near the origin. Typical…
Function values are, in some sense, "almost as good" as general linear information for $L_2$-approximation (optimal recovery, data assimilation) of functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This was recently proved by new upper…
It has been known since 1996 that a lower bound for the measure, $\mu(B(x,r))\geq br^s$, implies Sobolev embedding theorems for Sobolev spaces $M^{1,p}$ defined on metric-measure spaces. We prove that, in fact Sobolev embeddings for…
We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…
In this paper, we investigate the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding of $H^1(\R^2)$ into the Orlicz space $L^{{\phi}_p}(\R^2)$ associated to the function $\phi_p$ defined by $\phi_p(s):={\rm{e}^{s^2}}-\Sum_{k=0}^{p-1}…
In this work, we aim to prove algebra properties for generalized Sobolev spaces $W^{s,p} \cap L^\infty$ on a Riemannian manifold, where $W^{s,p}$ is of Bessel-type $W^{s,p}:=(1+L)^{-s/m}(L^p)$ with an operator $L$ generating a heat…
We develop an intrinsic, heat-kernel based fractional Sobolev framework on closed Riemannian manifolds and study the critical fractional Sobolev embedding. We determine the optimal coefficient of the lower-order $L^{p}$ term and prove that…
We provide a new, short proof of the density in energy of Lipschitz functions into the metric Sobolev space defined by using plans with barycenter (and thus, a fortiori, into the Newtonian-Sobolev space). Our result covers first-order…
This article contains a characterization of when certain weighted Sobolev spaces on $\Bbb R^n$ embed compactly into $L^2(\mathbb R^n, \varphi)$. The characterization is in terms of derivatives of the weight function $\varphi$ and involves…
The worst case integration error in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of standard Monte Carlo methods with n random points decays as $n^{-1/2}$. However, re-weighting of random points can sometimes be used to improve the convergence order.…
This work concerns $L^p$ norms of high energy Laplace eigenfunctions, $(-\Delta_g-\lambda^2)\phi_\lambda=0$, $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^2}=1$. In 1988, Sogge gave optimal estimates on the growth of $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^p}$ for a general compact…
We investigate the density of compactly supported smooth functions in the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}$ on complete Riemannian manifolds. In the first part of the paper, we extend to the full range $p\in [1,2]$ the most general results known in…
This paper is devoted to the study of a generalization of Sobolev spaces for small $L^{p}$ exponents, i.e. $0<p<1$. We consider spaces defined as abstract completions of certain classes of smooth functions with respect to weighted…
We prove compactness of the embeddings in Sobolev spaces for fractional super and sub harmonic functions with radial symmetry. The main tool is a pointwise decay for radially symmetric functions belonging to a function space defined by…
We study curvature functionals for immersed 2-spheres in non-compact, three-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,h)$ without boundary. First, under the assumption that $(M,h)$ is the euclidean 3-space endowed with a semi-perturbed metric…
