We study the density of the supremum of a strictly stable L\'evy process. As was proved recently in F. Hubalek and A. Kuznetsov "A convergent series representation for the density of the supremum of a stable process" (Elect. Comm. in…
Simple bounds are obtained for the integral $\int_0^x\mathrm{e}^{-\gamma t}t^\nu I_\nu(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$, $x>0$, $\nu>-1/2$, $0\leq\gamma<1$, together with a natural generalisation of this integral. In particular, we obtain an upper bound…
There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…
Given a finite set \sigma of the unit disc \mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:,\,| z|<1\} and a holomorphic function f in \mathbb{D} which belongs to a class X, we are looking for a function g in another class Y (smaller than X) which minimizes…
We investigate polyconvexity of the double well function $f(X)\,:= |X-X\_1|^2|X-X\_2|^2$ for given matrices $X\_1, X\_2 \in \R^{n \times n}$. Such functions are fundamental in the modeling of phase transitions in materials, but their…
In this paper we study the supremum of Perelman's \lambda-functional {\lambda }_M(g) on Riemannian 4-manifold M by using the Seiberg-Witten equations. We prove among others that, for a compact K\"{a}hler-Einstein complex surface (M, J,…
We investigate a class of composite nonconvex functions, where the outer function is the sum of univariate extended-real-valued convex functions and the inner function is the limit of difference-of-convex functions. A notable feature of…
We construct a $1$-bounded completely multiplicative function $f$ whose logarithmically-averaged partial sums satisfy $$ \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left|\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{f(n)}{n}\right|}{1+\exp\left(\sum_{p \leq x}…
We study the singularity (multifractal) spectrum of continuous convex functions defined on $[0,1]^{d}$. Let $E_f({h}) $ be the set of points at which $f$ has a pointwise exponent equal to $h$. We first obtain general upper bounds for the…
Suppose $F: \mathbb{R}^{N} \rightarrow [0, +\infty)$ be a convex function of class $C^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{N} \backslash \{0\})$ which is even and positively homogeneous of degree 1. We denote $\gamma_1=\inf\limits_{u\in W^{1,…
Let $\Gamma\subset\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ be a Fuchsian subgroup of the first kind acting on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$. Consider the $d_{2k}$-dimensional space of cusp forms $\mathcal{S}_{2k}^{\Gamma}$ of weight $2k$ for…
Incremental gradient and incremental proximal methods are a fundamental class of optimization algorithms used for solving finite sum problems, broadly studied in the literature. Yet, without strong convexity, their convergence guarantees…
Consider a sum of convex functions, where the only information known about each individual summand is the location of a minimizer. In this work, we give an exact characterization of the set of possible minimizers of the sum. Our results…
We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on…
We prove some new results and unify the proofs of old ones involving complete monotonicity of expressions involving gamma and $q$-gamma functions, $0 < q < 1$. Each of these results implies the infinite divisibility of a related probability…
In this paper, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a sense-preserving harmonic function to be absolutely convex in the open unit disk. We also estimate the coefficient bound and obtain growth, covering and area theorems for…
We propose a new iteration scheme, the Cauchy-Simplex, to optimize convex problems over the probability simplex $\{w\in\mathbb{R}^n\ |\ \sum_i w_i=1\ \textrm{and}\ w_i\geq0\}$. Specifically, we map the simplex to the positive quadrant of a…
We study the integral representation of $\Gamma$-limits of $p$-coercive integral functionals of the calculus of variations in the spirit of \cite{dalmaso-modica86}. We use infima of local Dirichlet problems to characterize the limit…
In monotone submodular function maximization, approximation guarantees based on the curvature of the objective function have been extensively studied in the literature. However, the notion of curvature is often pessimistic, and we rarely…
