In this paper, we prove second derivative estimates together with classical solvability for the Dirichlet problem of certain Monge-Ampere type equations under sharp hypotheses. In particular we assume that the matrix function in the…
In this note, we classify solutions to a class of Monge-Amp\`ere equations whose right hand side may be degenerate or singular in the half space. Solutions to these equations are special solutions to a class of fourth order equations,…
$L^p$-polarity and $L^p$-Mahler volumes were recently introduced by Berndtsson, Rubinstein, and the author as a new approach, inspired by complex geometry, to the Mahler, Bourgain, and Blocki conjectures. This paper serves two purposes.…
A weighted relative isoperimetric inequality in convex cones is obtained via the Monge-Ampere equation. The method improves several inequalities in the literature, e.g. constants in a theorem of Cabre--Ros--Oton--Serra. Applications are…
Let $\{Q_{n}(x)\}$ be a system of integral Legendre polynomials of degree exactly n,and let $\{P_{n}(x)\}$ be polar polynomials primitives of integral Legendre polynomials. We derive some identities and relations and extremal problems and…
This study focuses on convex functions and their generalized. Thus, we start this study by giving the definition of convex functions and some of their properties and discussing a simple geometric property. Then we generalize E-convex…
The task of finding a consistent relationship between a quantum Hamiltonian and a classical Lagrangian is of utmost importance for basic, but ubiquitous techniques like canonical quantization and path integrals. Nonconvex kinetic energies…

In this paper, we use the theory of symmetric Dirichlet forms to give a probabilistic interpretation of Calder\'{o}n's inverse conductivity problem in terms of reflecting diffusion processes and their corresponding boundary trace processes.
We investigate and solve a special class of integrals involving associated Legendre functions, which can be regarded as generalized Mehler-Fock transformations. Some of the integrals appear naturally when dealing with the heat or resolvent…
We study global convex solutions of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation \[ \det D^2 u = \mu \quad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^n, \] where $\mu \not\equiv 0$ is a nonnegative locally finite periodic Borel measure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove a…
A transverse multipole expansion is derived, including the longitudinal components necessarily present in regions of varying magnetic field profile. It can be used for exact numerical orbit following through the fringe field regions of…
The use of operational methods of different nature is shown to be a fairly powerful tool to study different problems regarding the theory of Legendre and Legendre-like polynomials. We show how the use of the well known integral…
We study the max-plus or tropical analogue of the notion of polar: the polar of a cone represents the set of linear inequalities satisfied by its elements. We establish an analogue of the bipolar theorem, which characterizes all the…

We propose a unified view of the polarity of functions, that encompasses all specific definitions, generalizes several well-known properties and provides new results. We show that bipolar sets and bipolar functions are isomorphic lattices.…
In this work, we aim to study a strong version of Ito's lemma for convex function. By considering the corresponding sub-martingale on a Brownian motion, we gain more insights about the convex function through a probabilistic viewpoint. The…
