Using complex methods combined with Baire's Theorem we show that one-sided extendability, extendability and real analyticity are rare phenomena on various spaces of functions in the topological sense. These considerations led us to…

In this paper, we study meromorphic functions on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}$ whose image has finite spherical area, counted with multiplicity. The paper is composed of two parts. In the first part, we show that the limit of a…

The paper is devoted to the study of two-parametric families of Dirichlet problems for systems of equations with $p, q$-Laplacians and indefinite nonlinearities. Continuous and monotone curves $\Gamma_f$ and $\Gamma_e$ on the parametric…

We deal with the following eigenvalue optimization problem: Given a bounded domain $D\subset \R^2$, how to place an obstacle $B$ of fixed shape within $D$ so as to maximize or minimize the fundamental eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet…

Submodular maximization generalizes many fundamental problems in discrete optimization, including Max-Cut in directed/undirected graphs, maximum coverage, maximum facility location and marketing over social networks. In this paper we…

The Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem involves optimizing with respect to a given a cost function. Uniqueness is a fundamental open question about which little is known when the cost function is smooth and the landscapes containing…

Let f be holomorphically continuable over the complex plane except for finitely many branch points contained in the unit disk. We prove that best rational approximants to f of degree n, in the L^2-sense on the unit circle, have poles that…

In the general setting of a locally compact Abelian group $G$, the Delsarte extremal problem asks for the supremum of integrals over the collection of continuous positive definite functions $f: G \to \mathbb{R}$ satisfying $f(0) = 1$ and…

We study sets of local dimensions for self-similar measures in $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the finite neighbour condition, which is formally stronger than the weak separation condition but satisfied in all known examples. Under a mild technical…

We study the problem of detecting zeros of continuous functions that are known only up to an error bound, extending the earlier theoretical work with explicit algorithms and experiments with an implementation. More formally, the robustness…

We construct a (non K\"ahler) compact complex 3-dimensional manifold $X$ having two following properties: 1) for any domain $D$ in $C^2$ every meromorphic map $f$ from this domain into $X$ extends to a meromorphic map from the envelope of…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we study strict subsets, i.e. sets whose variational capacity with respect to a larger reference set is finite, in the case $p=1$.…

We discuss the feasibility of the following learning problem: given unmatched samples from two domains and nothing else, learn a mapping between the two, which preserves semantics. Due to the lack of paired samples and without any…

We introduce a continuous domain for function spaces over topological spaces which are not core-compact. Notable examples of such topological spaces include the real line with the upper limit topology, which is used in solution of initial…

Pad\'e approximants to the many-body Green's function can be built by rearranging terms of its perturbative expansion. The hypothesis that the best use of a finite number of terms of such an expansion is given by the subclass of diagonal…

Rigorous mathematical foundations of density functional theory are revisited, with some use of infinitesimal (nonstandard) methods. A thorough treatment is given of basic properties of internal energy and ground-state energy functionals…

A variety of large-scale machine learning problems can be cast as instances of constrained submodular maximization. Existing approaches for distributed submodular maximization have a critical drawback: The capacity - number of instances…

The chosen tool of this thesis is an extremal type approach. The lesson drawn by the theorems proved in the thesis is that surprisingly small compromise is necessary on the efficacy of the solutions to make the approach work. The problems…

By using the inner diameter distance condition we define and investigate new, in such a generality, class $\mathcal{F}$ of homeomorphisms between domains in metric spaces and show that, under additional assumptions on domains, $\mathcal{F}$…

In this article, we prove the existence of extremal functions in higher-order affine Sobolev inequalities. Proofs rely on concentration-compactness methods in spaces of integer or fractional regularity. The tools we use, available in spaces…
