We establish a strong unique continuation property for the subelliptic Baouendi operator under the presence of zero-order perturbations satisfying an almost Hardy-type growth condition. In particular, the admissible class includes both…

In this article we propose a method for solving unconstrained optimization problems with convex and Lipschitz continuous objective functions. By making use of the Moreau envelopes of the functions occurring in the objective, we smooth the…

We study a notion of VC-dimension for subsets of groups, defining this for a set $A$ to be the VC-dimension of the family $\{ (xA) \cap A : x \in A\cdot A^{-1} \}$. We show that if a finite subset $A$ of an abelian group has bounded…

Consider a piecewise affine Lipschitz map $\phi : \Omega \to \mathbb R$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ is an open set, and assume that $x \mapsto x + t \nabla \phi(x)$ is injective for almost every $t > 0$. In (J.-G. Liu, R.~L. Pego,…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold which is not isometric to $\mathbb{R}^n$, has nonnegative Ricci curvature, Euclidean volume growth, and quadratic Riemann curvature decay. We prove that there exists a set $\mathcal{G}\subset…

We construct a continuous Lagrangian, strictly convex and superlinear in the third variable, such that the associated variational problem has a Lipschitz minimizer which is non-differentiable on a dense set. More precisely, the upper and…

We establish certain fine properties for functions of bounded $\mathscr A$-variation known in the classical $BV$ setting. Here, $\mathscr A$ is a $k$th order constant-coefficient homogeneous linear differential operator with a…

The sampling of functions of bounded variation (BV) is a long-standing problem in op- timization. The ability to sample such functions has relevance in the field of variational inverse problems, where the standard theory fails to guarantee…

In this paper, in addition to the earlier introduced involutive divisions, we consider a new class of divisions induced by admissible monomial orderings. We prove that these divisions are noetherian and constructive. Thereby each of them…

We prove matching direct and inverse theorems for uniform polynomial approximation with $A^*$ weights (a subclass of doubling weights suitable for approximation in the $L_\infty$ norm) having finitely many zeros and not too "rapidly…

We define a random step size tug-of-war game, and show that the gradient of a value function exists almost everywhere. We also prove that the gradients of value functions are uniformly bounded and converge weakly to the gradient of the…

A regularization algorithm allowing random noise in derivatives and inexact function values is proposed for computing approximate local critical points of any order for smooth unconstrained optimization problems. For an objective function…

Freiman's theorem asserts, roughly speaking, if that a finite set in a torsion-free abelian group has small doubling, then it can be efficiently contained in (or controlled by) a generalised arithmetic progression. This was generalised by…

It is known, that every function on the unit sphere in $\bbr^n$, which is invariant under rotations about some coordinate axis, is completely determined by a function of one variable. Similar results, when invariance of a function reduces…

In this paper we consider harmonic functions on gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with constant scalar curvature. A Liouville theorem is proved without using gradient estimate : any bounded harmonic function is constant on gradient…

We study the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplace operator on an arbitrary bounded, open set in $\R^d$, $d \geq 2$. In particular, we derive upper bounds on Riesz means of order $\sigma \geq 3/2$, that improve the sharp Berezin inequality…

Let $f: B^n \rightarrow {\mathbb R}$ be a $d+1$ times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball $B^n$, with $\max_{z\in B^n} \Vert f(z) \Vert=1$. A well-known fact is that if $f$ vanishes on a set $Z\subset B^n$ with a non-empty…
