Given any dimension function $h$, we construct a perfect set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of zero $h$-Hausdorff measure, that contains any finite polynomial pattern. This is achieved as a special case of a more general construction in which we…

We set up a real entropy function $h_\Bbb{R}$ on the space $\mathcal{M}'_d$ of M\"obius conjugacy classes of real rational maps of degree $d$ by assigning to each class the real entropy of a representative $f\in\Bbb{R}(z)$; namely, the…

We prove quasi-monotonicity formulas for classical obstacle-type problems with energies being the sum of a quadratic form with Lipschitz coefficients, and a H\"older continuous linear term. With the help of those formulas we are able to…

Tests of fit to exact models in statistical analysis often lead to rejections even when the model is a useful approximate description of the random generator of the data. Among possible relaxations of a fixed model, the one defined by…

We generalize the celebrated isoperimetric inequality of Khot, Minzer, and Safra~(SICOMP 2018) for Boolean functions to the case of real-valued functions $f \colon \{0,1\}^d\to\mathbb{R}$. Our main tool in the proof of the generalized…

We prove the existence of solutions for the Monge minimization problem, addressed in a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ enjoying the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition $\RCD(K,N)$, with $N < \infty$. For the first marginal measure, we…

We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset of ${\mathbb R}^d$ is greater than $\frac{d+1}{2}$, then the set of angles determined by triples of points from this set has positive Lebesgue measure. Sobolev bounds for…

We prove general theorems for isoperimetric problems on lattices of the form ${\mathbb{Z}}^{k} \times {\mathbb{N}}^{d}$ which state that the perimeter of the optimal set is a monotonically increasing function of the volume under certain…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…

We prove a weak comparison principle in narrow unbounded domains for solutions to $-\Delta_p u=f(u)$ in the case $2<p< 3$ and $f(\cdot)$ is a power-type nonlinearity, or in the case $p>2$ and $f(\cdot)$ is super-linear. We exploit it to…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-monotone if, for all $x,y\in I$ with $x\leq y$ it satisfies $$ f(x)\leq f(y)+\Phi(y-x), $$ where $\Phi:[0,\ell(I)[\,\to\mathbb{R}_+$ is a given nonnegative…

This paper is devoted to introduce and investigate the notion of monotone sets in Hadamard spaces. First, flat Hadamard spaces are introduced and investigated. It is shown that an Hadamard space $X$ is flat if and only if $X\times…

We prove lower bounds for the Hausdorff measure of nodal sets of eigenfunctions.

We investigate error bounds for numerical solutions of divergence structure linear elliptic PDEs on compact manifolds without boundary. Our focus is on a class of monotone finite difference approximations, which provide a strong form of…

A function $f$ is $d$-resilient if all its Fourier coefficients of degree at most $d$ are zero, i.e., $f$ is uncorrelated with all low-degree parities. We study the notion of $\mathit{approximate}$ $\mathit{resilience}$ of Boolean…

We continue the analysis of the two-phase free boundary problems initiated in \cite{DK}, where we studied the linear growth of minimizers in a Bernoulli type free boundary problem at the non-flat points and the related regularity of free…

In this paper we study regularity and topological properties of volume constrained minimizers of quasi-perimeters in $\sf RCD$ spaces where the reference measure is the Hausdorff measure. A quasi-perimeter is a functional given by the sum…

We present a (combinatorial) algorithm with running time close to $O(n^d)$ for computing the minimum directed $L_\infty$ Hausdorff distance between two sets of $n$ points under translations in any constant dimension $d$. This substantially…

We prove that an anisotropic minimal graph over a half-space with flat boundary must itself be flat. This generalizes a result of Edelen-Wang to the anisotropic case. The proof uses only the maximum principle and ideas from fully nonlinear…
