We prove a unified trace-average formula for the $k$-th higher trace $\lambda_k(A)=\operatorname{tr}(\Lambda^k A)$ of a linear operator $A$ on a finite-dimensional normed space. The formula averages the matrix coefficient…

There are two parts for this paper. In the first part, we extend some results in a recent paper by Du, Guth, Li and Zhang to a more general class of phase functions. The main methods are Bourgain-Demeter's $l^2$ decoupling theorem and…

We provide off-diagonal estimates for a maximal operator arising from a geometric problem of estimating the size of certain geometric configuration of k- skeletons in $\mathbb{R}^n$. This is achieved by interpolating a weak-type endpoint…

We establish for the first time the explicit curvature formulas for the horizontal and vertical edges of the strong product of two regular graphs. We complement this result with showing that there does not exist an analogous formula for the…

By giving a thin width of $0<\delta\ll 1$ to both a unit circle and a unit line, we set an annulus and a tube on the Euclidean plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Consider the maximal means $M_\delta$ over dilations of the annulus, and $N_\delta$ over…

The Schwarz--Pick lemma is a fundamental result in complex analysis. It is well-known that Yau generalized it to the higher dimensional manifolds by applying his maximum principle for complete Riemannian manifolds. Jeffres obtained Schwarz…

Variational inequalities play in many applications an important role and are an active research area. Optimal a priori error estimates in the natural energy norm do exist but only very few results in other norms exist. Here we consider as…

We find a maximum principle for general non-Markovian semi-martingales. We do so by describing the adjoint processes with non-anticipating stochastic derivatives in a martingale random field setting. In the case of the L\'evy processes this…
