The problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countable infinite alphabets is addressed from the study and use of convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be discontinuous with respect to the total variation distance…

We prove that non-hyperbolic non-renormalizable quadratic polynomials are expansion inducing. For renormalizable polynomials a counterpart of this statement is that in the case of unbounded combinatorics renormalized mappings become almost…

In classical chaotic systems the entropy, averaged over initial phase space distributions, follows an universal behavior. While approaching thermal equilibrium it passes through a stage where it grows linearly, while the growth rate, the…

In this paper, we prove sharp estimates and existence results for anisotropic nonlinear elliptic problems with lower order terms depending on the gradient. Our prototype is: $ \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\mathcal Q_{p}u =[H(Du)]^{q}+f(x)…

We prove a sharp quantitative version of the $p$-Sobolev inequality for any $1<p<n$, with a control on the strongest possible distance from the class of optimal functions. Surprisingly, the sharp exponent is constant for $p<2$, while it…

We consider the orthogonal polynomials $\{P_{n}(z)\}$ with respect to the measure $|z-a|^{2N c} {\rm e}^{-N |z|^2} \,{\rm d} A(z)$ over the whole complex plane. We obtain the strong asymptotic of the orthogonal polynomials in the complex…

We strengthen the maximal ergodic theorem for actions of groups of polynomial growth to a form involving jump quantity, which is the sharpest result among the family of variational or maximal ergodic theorems. As a consequence, we deduce in…

In this work, we give a formula for coefficients of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. By using this formula, a new and computable approach is provided for sum rules which applying to a spectral gem problem proposed by Barry Simon…

In this manuscript we establish local H\"older regularity estimates for bounded solutions of a certain class of doubly degenerate evolution PDEs. By making use of intrinsic scaling techniques and geometric tangential methods, we derive…

We consider a generalisation of Ulam's method for approximating invariant densities of one-dimensional chaotic maps. Rather than use piecewise constant polynomials to approximate the density, we use polynomials of degree n which are defined…

Using classical results of Rogers bounding the $L^2$-norm of Siegel transforms, we give bounds on the heights of approximate integral solutions of quadratic equations and error terms in the quantiative Oppenheim theorem of…

In 2016 Ananyan and Hochster proved Stillman's conjecture by showing the existence of a uniform upper bound on the length of an $R_\eta$-sequence containing fixed $n$ forms of degree at most $d$ in polynomial rings over a field. This result…

Sharp $L^p$ extensions of Pitt's inequality expressed as a weighted Sobolev inequality are obtained using convolution estimates and Stein-Weiss potentials. More generally, optimal constants are obtained for the full Stein-Weiss potential as…

We prove an interior regularity result for solutions of a purely integro-differential Bellman equation. This regularity is enough for the solutions to be understood in the classical sense. If we let the order of the equation approach two,…

Von Neumann's original proof of the ergodic theorem is revisited. A uniform convergence rate is established under the assumption that one can control the density of the spectrum of the underlying self-adjoint operator when restricted to…

The purpose of this short article is to prove some potential estimates that naturally arise in the study of subelliptic Sobolev inequalites for functions. This will allow us to prove a local subelliptic Sobolev inequality with the optimal…

We prove two continuity theorems for the Lyapunov exponents of the maximal entropy measure of polynomial automorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$. The first continuity result holds for any family of polynomial automorphisms of constant dynamical…
