The Whitney embedding theorem gives an upper bound on the smallest embedding dimension of a manifold. If a data set lies on a manifold, a random projection into this reduced dimension will retain the manifold structure. Here we present an…

We derive a tight upper bound for the fidelity of a universal N to M qubit cloner, valid for any M \geq N, where the output of the cloner is required to be supported on the symmetric subspace. Our proof is based on the concatenation of two…

Quasisymmetric stellarators are an attractive class of optimised magnetic confinement configurations. The property of quasisymmetry (QS) is in practice limited to be approximate, and thus the construction requires measures that quantify the…

We shed light on a long-standing open question for the semilinear heat equation $u_t = \Delta u + |u|^{p-1} u$. Namely, without any restriction on the exponent $p>1$ nor on the smooth domain~$\Omega$, we prove that the critical $L^q$ norm…

Define a(k,q) to be the smallest positive multiple of k such that the sum of its digits in base q is equal to k. The asymptotic behavior, lower and upper bound estimates of a(k,q) are investigated. A characterization of the minimality…

We consider the shape optimization problems for the quantities $\lambda(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ varies among open sets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a prescribed Lebesgue measure. While the characterization of the infimum is completely…

Although convolution on Euclidean space and the Heisenberg group satisfy the same $L^p$ bounds with the same optimal constants, the former has maximizers while the latter does not. However, as work of Christ has shown, it is still possible…

We provide a simple proof of the radial symmetry of any nonnegative minimizer for a general class of quasi-linear minimization problems

We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.

Postulated by Pauli to explain the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, the exclusion principle establishes an upper bound of 1 for the fermionic natural occupation numbers $\{n_i\}$. A recent analysis of the pure…

We construct two minimal Cheeger sets in the Euclidean plane, i.e. unique minimizers of the ratio "perimeter over area" among their own measurable subsets. The first one gives a counterexample to the so-called weak regularity property of…

In this note we show that a recent existence result on quasiequilibrium problems, which seems to improve deeply some well-known results, is not correct. We exhibit a counterexample and we furnish a generalization of a lemma about continuous…

We analyze the problem of approximate quantum cloning when the quantum state is between two latitudes on the Bloch's sphere. We present an analytical formula for the optimized 1-to-2 cloning. The formula unifies the universal quantum…

Let $\Omega_\ell = \ell\omega_1 \times \omega_2$ where $\omega_1 \subset \R^p$ and $\omega_2 \subset \R^{n-p}$ are assumed to be open and bounded. We consider the following minimization problem: $$E_{\Omega_\ell}(u_\ell) = \min_{u\in…

We introduced the quasicentral modulus to study normed ideal perturbations of operators. It is a limit of condenser quasicentral moduli in view of a recently noticed analogy with capacity in nonlinear potential theory. We prove here some…

A numerical semigroup is a subset of the non-negative integers that is closed under addition. For a randomly generated numerical semigroup, the expected number of minimum generators can be expressed in terms of a doubly-indexed sequence of…

We develop a direct Lyapunov method for the almost sure open-loop stabilizability and asymptotic stabilizability of controlled degenerate diffusion processes. The infinitesimal decrease condition for a Lyapunov function is a new form of…

The notion off-ideals is recent and has been studied in the papers[1] [2], [5], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14] and [15]. In this paper, we have generalized the idea off-ideals to quasi f-ideals. This extended class of ideals is much bigger…

Let $q$ be a prime power. For $u=(u_1,\dots ,u_n), v=(v_1,\dots ,v_n)\in \mathbb {F}_{q^2}^n$ let $\langle u,v\rangle := \sum _{i=1}^{n} u_i^qv_i$ be the Hermitian form of $\mathbb {F} _{q^2}^n$. Fix an $n\times n$ matrix $M$ over $\mathbb…

We look for minimizers of the buckling load problem with perimeter constraint in any dimension. In dimension 2, we show that the minimizing plates are convex; in higher dimension, by passing through a weaker formulation of the problem, we…
