Disproving a conjecture of Bleicher and Erd\H{o}s, we show that there exists a lacunary sequence of positive integers such that finite sums of reciprocals of its terms attain all rational numbers from a non-empty open interval. We also…
A Kakeya set contains a line in each direction. Dvir proved a lower bound on the size of any Kakeya set in a finite field using the polynomial method. We prove analogues of Dvir's result for non-degenerate conics, that is, parabolae and…
The notion of lacunary infinite numerical sequence is introduced. It is shown that for an arbitrary linear difference operator L with coefficients belonging to the set R of infinite numerical sequences, a criterion (i.e., a necessary and…
In this paper, we examine some shape functionals, introduced by P\'olya and Makai, involving the torsional rigidity and the first Dirichlet-Laplacian eigenvalue for bounded, open and convex sets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We establish new…
A geometric global formulation of the higher-order Lagrangian formalism for systems with finite number of degrees of freedom is provided. The formalism is applied to the study of systems with groups of Noetherian symmetries.
We shall verify the Kakeya (Nikodym) maximal operator $K_{N}$, $N\gg 1$, is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(\mathbb{R}^2)$ when the exponent function $p(\cdot)$ is $N$-modified locally log-H\"{o}lder continuous and…
This article establishes a bilinear embedding for second-order divergence-form operators with complex coefficients, characterized by the simultaneous presence of first-order terms and negative potentials. This work provides a further…
The first-order optimality conditions for a generic nonlinear optimization problem are generated as part of the terminal transversality conditions of an optimal control problem. It is shown that the Lagrangian of the optimization problem is…
We study maximal operators associated to singular averages along finite subsets $\Sigma$ of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(d,n)$ of $d$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb R^n$. The well studied $d=1$ case corresponds to the the directional…
We present an approach to approximate reachable sets for linear systems with bounded L-infinity controls in finite time. Our first approach investigates the boundaries of these sets and reveals an exact characterization for single-input,…
For a given set of dilations $E\subset [1,2]$, Lebesgue space mapping properties of the spherical maximal operator with dilations restricted to $E$ are studied when acting on radial functions. In higher dimensions, the type set only depends…
We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…
The dominant rational maps of finite degree from a fixed variety to varieties of general type, up to birational isomorphisms, form a finite set. This has been known as the Iitaka-Severi conjecture, and is nowdays an established result, in…
We establish $L^{p_1}(\mathbb R^d) \times \cdots \times L^{p_n}(\mathbb R^d) \rightarrow L^r(\mathbb R^d)$ bounds for spherical averaging operators $\mathcal A^n$ in dimensions $d \geq 2$ for indices $1\le p_1,\dots , p_n\le \infty$ and…
Let $D$ be a nonnegative integer and ${\mathbf{\Theta}}\subset S^1$ be a lacunary set of directions of order $D$. We show that the $L^p$ norms, $1<p<\infty$, of the maximal directional Hilbert transform in the plane $$ H_{{\mathbf{\Theta}}}…
In [1] the authors showed some basic properties of a pre-order that arose in combinatorial number theory, namely the finite embeddability between sets of natural numbers, and they presented its generalization to ultrafilters, which is…
We present maximality results in the setting of non necessarily bounded operators. In particular, we discuss and establish results showing when the "inclusion" between operators becomes a full equality.
In this paper, we investigate Durrmeyer-type generalizations of maximum-minimum neural network operators. The primary objective of this study is to establish the convergence of these operators in the $L^{p}$ norm for functions $f\in…
We investigate optimal expansions of Kakeya sequences for the representation of real numbers. Expansions of Kakeya sequences generalize the expansions in non-integer bases and they display analogous redundancy phenomena. In this paper, we…
A criterion for subnormality of unbounded composition operators in L2-spaces, written in terms of measurable families of probability measures satisfying the so-called consistency condition, is established. It becomes a new characterization…
