We construct least squares formulations of PDEs with inhomogeneous essential boundary conditions, where boundary residuals are not measured in unpractical fractional Sobolev norms, but which formulations nevertheless are shown to yield a…
In this article we prove the topological minimality of unions of several almost orthogonal planes of arbitrary dimensions. A particular case was proved in arXiv:1103.1468, where we proved the Almgren minimality (which is a weaker property…
We abstract and study \emph{reachability preservers}, a graph-theoretic primitive that has been implicit in prior work on network design. Given a directed graph $G = (V, E)$ and a set of \emph{demand pairs} $P \subseteq V \times V$, a…
In this paper we determine all the bijective linear maps on the space of bounded observables which preserve a fixed moment or the variance. Nonlinear versions of the corresponding results are also presented.
Optimal transport (OT) has gained popularity due to its various applications in fields such as machine learning, statistics, and signal processing. However, the balanced mass requirement limits its performance in practical problems. To…
Harmonic morphisms, maps which preserve Laplace's equation, are intimately connected to the topic of minimal submanifolds. In this article we first characterise harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds as the weakly horizontally…
In this paper, we study the orthogonal least squares (OLS) algorithm for sparse recovery. On the one hand, we show that if the sampling matrix $\mathbf{A}$ satisfies the restricted isometry property (RIP) of order $K + 1$ with isometry…
The persistent homology transform (PHT) of a subset $M \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ is a map $\text{PHT}(M):\mathbb{S}^{d-1} \to \mathbf{Dgm}$ from the unit sphere to the space of persistence diagrams. This map assigns to each direction $v\in…
We study the multi-marginal partial optimal transport (POT) problem between $m$ discrete (unbalanced) measures with at most $n$ supports. We first prove that we can obtain two equivalence forms of the multimarginal POT problem in terms of…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be an $n$-point subset of Euclidean space and $d\geq 3$ be an integer. In this paper we study the following question: What is the smallest (normalized) relative change of the volume of subsets of $\mathcal{P}$ when it is…
Given a point set $P$ in a metric space and a real number $t \geq 1$, an \emph{oriented $t$-spanner} is an oriented graph $\overrightarrow{G}=(P,\overrightarrow{E})$, where for every pair of distinct points $p$ and $q$ in $P$, the shortest…
We explore the relationship between approximate symmetries of a gapped Hamiltonian and the structure of its ground space. We start by showing that approximate symmetry operators---unitary operators whose commutators with the Hamiltonian…
Tilt stability plays a pivotal role in understanding how local solutions of an optimization problem respond to small, targeted perturbations of the objective. Although quadratic bundles are a powerful tool for capturing second-order…
Solving large-scale eigenvalue problems poses a significant challenge due to the computational complexity and limitations on the parallel scalability of the orthogonalization operation, when many eigenpairs are required. In this paper, we…
An orthoset is a set equipped with a symmetric, irreflexive binary relation. With any (anisotropic) Hermitian space $H$, we may associate the orthoset $(P(H),\perp)$, consisting of the set of one-dimensional subspaces of $H$ and the usual…
Preservers and additive spanners are sparse (hence cheap to store) subgraphs that preserve the distances between given pairs of nodes exactly or with some small additive error, respectively. Since real-world networks are prone to failures,…
In this paper we develop a boundary $\varepsilon$-regularity theory for optimal transport maps between bounded open sets with $C^{1,\alpha}$-boundary. Our main result asserts sharp $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity of transport maps at the boundary…
The compression of a matrix $A\in\mathbb C^{n\times n}$ onto a subspace $V\subset\mathbb C^n$ is the matrix $Q^*AQ$ where the columns of $Q$ form an orthonormal basis for $V$. This is an important object in both operator theory and…

There are two notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in a normed space. We characterize both the notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in the space of bounded linear operators defined on a normed space. A complete…
