In this paper, we study the extremal problem for the Strichartz inequality for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation on $\mathbb{R}^2$. We show that the solutions to the associated Euler-Lagrange equation are exponentially decaying in the Fourier…

Sparse polynomial approximation has become indispensable for approximating smooth, high- or infinite-dimensional functions from limited samples. This is a key task in computational science and engineering, e.g., surrogate modelling in…
The focus of this article is the approximation of functions which are analytic on a compact interval except at the endpoints. Typical numerical methods for approximating such functions depend upon the use of particular conformal maps from…
We exhibit a class of "relatively curved" $\vec{\gamma}(t) := (\gamma_1(t),\dots,\gamma_n(t))$, so that the pertaining multi-linear maximal function satisfies the sharp range of H\"{o}lder exponents, \[ \left\| \sup_{r > 0} \ \frac{1}{r}…
Consider two manifolds~$M^m$ and $N^n$ and a first-order Lagrangian $L(u)$ for mappings $u:M\to N$, i.e., $L$ is an expression involving $u$ and its first derivatives whose value is an $m$-form (or more generally, an $m$-density) on~$M$.…

We consider the set of extremal points of the generalized unit ball induced by gradient total variation seminorms for vector-valued functions on bounded Euclidean domains. These are central to the understanding of sparse solutions and…
We give examples of semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators with exponentially large cutoff resolvent norms, even when the supports of the cutoff and potential are very far apart. The examples are radial, which allows us to analyze the…
We study extremal functions for a family of Poincar\'e-Sobolev-type inequalities. These functions minimize, for subcritical or critical $p\geq 2$, the quotient ${\|\nabla u\|_2}/{\|u\|_p}$ among all $u \in H^1(B)\setminus\{0\}$ with…

We discuss the problem of finding optimal exponents in Diophantine estimates involving one real number and, in some cases where such an exponent is known, present some properties of the corresponding extremal numbers.
We study the following natural question that, apparently, has not been well addressed in the literature: Given functions $u$ with support in the unit ball $B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and with gradient in the Morrey space $M^{p,\lambda}(B_1)$,…
