We deal with non-smooth differential systems $\dot{z}=X(z), z\in R^{n},$ with discontinuity occurring in a codimension one smooth surface $\Sigma$. A regularization of $X$ is a 1-parameter family of smooth vector fields…

Let $M$ be a nilmanifold with a fundamental group which is free $2$-step nilpotent on at least 4 generators. We will show that for any nonnegative integer $n$ there exists a self-diffeomorphism $h_n$ of $M$ such that $h_n$ has exactly $n$…

In this paper, we study the existence of common fixed points of family of multivalued mappings satisfying generalized F-contractive conditions in ordered metric spaces. These results establish some of the general common fixed point theorems…

The fixed point that governs the critical behavior of magnets described by the $N$-vector chiral model under the physical values of $N$ ($N =2, 3$) is shown to be a stable focus both in two and three dimensions. Robust evidence in favor of…

Using Wilsonian methods, we study the renormalization group flow of the Nonlinear Sigma Model in any dimension $d$, restricting our attention to terms with two derivatives. At one loop we always find a Ricci flow. When symmetries completely…

A general fixed point theorem for isometries in terms of metric functionals is proved under the assumption of the existence of a conical bicombing. It is new even for isometries of Banach spaces as well as for non-locally compact…

We consider the problem of computing the minimal nonnegative solution $G$ of the nonlinear matrix equation $X=\sum_{i=-1}^\infty A_iX^{i+1}$ where $A_i$, for $i\ge -1$, are nonnegative square matrices such that $\sum_{i=-1}^\infty A_i$ is…

Consider on a manifold the solution $X$ of a stochastic differential equation driven by a L\'evy process without Brownian part. Sufficient conditions for the smoothness of the law of $X_t$ are given, with particular emphasis on noncompact…

We obtain new results on the existence and multiplicity of fixed points of Hammerstein equations in very general cones. In order to achieve this, we combine a new formulation of cones in terms of continuous functionals with fixed point…

This work develops change-point methods for statistics of high-frequency data. The main interest is in the volatility of an It\^{o} semi-martingale, the latter being discretely observed over a fixed time horizon. We construct a…

We study a one-dimensional thin film equation combining competitive effects of aggregation and repulsion, where repulsion is modeled by fourth-order diffusion and aggregation by backward second-order degenerate diffusion with exponent…

Matrix-valued covariance extension and multivariate spectral estimation are formulated as generalized moment problems in the "THREE" approach and its extensions. Under this context, we discuss Theorem 6 in \cite{Georgiou-06} concerning the…

We investigate the well-posedness of scalar conservation laws whose flux depends on the solution both pointwise and nonlocally through integral averages. Our analysis is based on a fixed-point formulation, in which the nonlocal dependence…

We introduce the notion of admissible functions and show that the family of L-functions introduced by Lim in [Nonlinear Anal. 46(2001), 113--120] and the family of test functions introduced by Geraghty in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 40(1973),…

In this work, we characterize cluster-invariant point processes for critical branching spatial processes on R d for all large enough d when the motion law is $\alpha$-stable or has a finite discrete range. More precisely, when the motion is…
