This paper continues the previous studies in two papers of Huang-Yin [HY3-4] on the flattening problem of a CR singular point of real codimension two sitting in a submanifold in ${\mathbb C}^{n+1}$ with $n+1\ge 3$, whose CR points are…
Methodology is provided towards the solution of the minimum enclosing ball problem. This problem concerns the determination of the unique spherical surface of smallest radius enclosing a given bounded set in the d-dimensional Euclidean…
This work is concerned with the equation $ \partial_t \rho = \Delta_x \rho^m $, $ m > 1 $, known as the porous medium equation. It shows stability of the pressure of solutions close to flat travelling wave fronts in the homogeneous…
We investigate general semilinear (obstacle-like) problems of the form $\Delta u = f(u)$, where $f(u)$ has a singularity/jump at $\{u=0\}$ giving rise to a free boundary. Unlike many works on such equations where $f$ is approximately…
A critically challenging problem facing statisticians is the identification of a suitable framework which consolidates data of various types, from different sources, and across different time frames or scales (many of which can be missing),…
The compactness phenomenon is one of the featured aspects of structuralism in mathematics. In simple and broad words, a compactness property holds in a structure if a related property is satisfied by sufficiently many substructures of that…
In 2022, Olivier Longuet, a French mathematics teacher, created a game called the \textit{calissons puzzle}. Given a triangular grid in a hexagon and some given edges of the grid, the problem is to find a calisson tiling such that no input…
Formalization of mathematics is a major topic, that includes in particular numerical analysis, towards proofs of scientific computing programs. The present study is about the finite element method, a popular method to numerically solve…
We define the parametric closure problem, in which the input is a partially ordered set whose elements have linearly varying weights and the goal is to compute the sequence of minimum-weight lower sets of the partial order as the weights…
For most optimisation methods an essential assumption is the vector space structure of the feasible set. This condition is not fulfilled if we consider optimisation problems over the sphere. We present an algorithm for solving a special…
In this survey we present the history and recent progress on several fundamental (quasi)conformal uniformization problems in the complex plane. Uniformization refers to the process of mapping a space to a canonical model by means of a…
An important problem in analytic and geometric combinatorics is estimating the number of lattice points in a compact convex set in a Euclidean space. Such estimates have numerous applications throughout mathematics. In this note, we exhibit…
We present a differential algebra of generalized functions over a field of generalized scalars by means of several axioms in terms of general algebra and topology. Our differential algebra is of Colombeau type in the sense that it contains…
A covering problem posed by Henri Lebesgue in 1914 seeks to find the convex shape of smallest area that contains a subset congruent to any point set of unit diameter in the Euclidean plane. Methods used previously to construct such a…
Factorization algebras are local-to-global objects living on manifolds, and they arise naturally in mathematics and physics. Their local structure encompasses examples like associative algebras and vertex algebras; in these examples, their…
Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a set of $n$ flat (planar) semi-algebraic regions in $\mathbb{R}^3$ of constant complexity (e.g., triangles, disks), which we call plates. We wish to preprocess $\mathcal{T}$ into a data structure so that for a query…
Clustering large spatial databases is an important problem, which tries to find the densely populated regions in a spatial area to be used in data mining, knowledge discovery, or efficient information retrieval. However most algorithms have…
We study the Cauchy problem associated with the equations governing a fluid loaded plate formulated on either the line or the half-line. We show that in both cases the problem can be solved by employing the unified approach to boundary…
We prove optimal regularity and a detailed analysis of the free boundary of the solutions to the thin obstacle problem for nonparametric minimal surfaces with flat obstacles.
The Satisfactory Partition problem consists in deciding if the set of vertices of a given undirected graph can be partitioned into two nonempty parts such that each vertex has at least as many neighbours in its part as in the other part.…
