In this paper we investigate the approximation of continuous functions on the Wasserstein space by smooth functions, with smoothness meant in the sense of Lions differentiability. In particular, in the case of a Lipschitz function we are…
Based on two point spline approximations of arbitrary order, a series of functions that define lower bounds for sin(x) and sin(x)/x, over the interval [0,Pi/2], with increasingly low relative errors and smaller relative errors than…
We study approximation of functions by algebraic polynomials in the H\"older spaces corresponding to the generalized Jacobi translation and the Ditzian-Totik moduli of smoothness. By using modifications of the classical moduli of…
We prove the uniform lower bound for the difference $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ between first two eigenvalues of the fractional Schr\"odinger operator, which is related to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the symmetric $\alpha$-stable process…
Goldstein's 1977 idealized iteration for minimizing a Lipschitz objective fixes a distance - the step size - and relies on a certain approximate subgradient. That "Goldstein subgradient" is the shortest convex combination of objective…

In this paper we consider the approximation of a function by its interpolating multilinear spline and the approximation of its derivatives by the derivatives of the corresponding spline. We derive formulas for the uniform approximation…
The main purpose of the paper is to study sharp estimates of approximation of periodic functions in the H\"older spaces $H_p^{r,\alpha}$ for all $0<p\le\infty$ and $0<\alpha\le r$. By using modifications of the classical moduli of…
We extend nonparametric regression smoothing splines to a context where there is endogeneity and instrumental variables are available. Unlike popular existing estimators, the resulting estimator is one-step and relies on a unique…
This paper considers the development of spatially adaptive smoothing splines for the estimation of a regression function with non-homogeneous smoothness across the domain. Two challenging issues that arise in this context are the evaluation…
In this paper we continue the study of the spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators on large intervals and subject to Neumann boundary conditions. The main goal is to derive a lower bound on the spectral gap which is polynomial in the…
In this paper, we give an easy proof of the main results of Andrews and Clutterbuck's paper [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 24 (2011), no. 3, 899--916], which gives both a sharp lower bound for the spectral gap of a Schr\"oinger operator and a sharp…
Smoothing splines have been used pervasively in nonparametric regressions. However, the computational burden of smoothing splines is significant when the sample size $n$ is large. When the number of predictors $d\geq2$, the computational…
First order methods endowed with global convergence guarantees operate using global lower bounds on the objective. The tightening of the bounds has been shown to increase both the theoretical guarantees and the practical performance. In…
Given $\boldsymbol{\alpha} \in [0,1]^d$, we estimate the smooth discrepancy of the Kronecker sequence $(n \boldsymbol{\alpha} \,\mathrm{mod}\, 1)_{n\geq 1}$. We find that it can be smaller than the classical discrepancy of $\textbf{any}$…
We demonstrate criteria, purely based on finite subwords of the potential, to guarantee spectral inclusion as well as Hausdorff approximation of pseudospectra or even spectra of generalized Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete line or…
Based on the variable Hilbert scale interpolation inequality bounds for the error of regularisation methods are derived under range inclusions. In this context, new formulae for the modulus of continuity of the inverse of bounded operators…
The article is devoted to the development of numerical methods for solving variational inequalities with relatively strongly monotone operators. We consider two classes of variational inequalities related to some analogs of the Lipschitz…
We study approximation properties of linear sampling operators in the spaces $L_p$ for $1\le p<\infty$. By means of the Steklov averages, we introduce a new measure of smoothness that simultaneously contains information on the smoothness of…
In this paper, we provide tight lower bounds for the oracle complexity of minimizing high-order H\"older smooth and uniformly convex functions. Specifically, for a function whose $p^{th}$-order derivatives are H\"older continuous with…
