We analyze combinatorial optimization problems with ordinal, i.e., non-additive, objective functions that assign categories (like good, medium and bad) rather than cost coefficients to the elements of feasible solutions. We review different…
A new approach to classical self improving results for $BMO$ functions is presented. "Coordinate Gagliardo spaces" are introduced and a generalized version of the John-Nirenberg Lemma is proved. Applications are provided.
Some problems of statistics can be reduced to extremal problems of minimizing functionals of smooth functions defined on the cube $[0,1]^m$, $m\geq 2$. In this paper, we study a class of extremal problems that is closely connected to the…
Sufficient conditions for the invariance of evolution problems governed by perturbations of (possibly nonlinear) $m$-accretive operators are provided. The conditions for the invariance with respect to sublevel sets of a constraint…
In this article, we define a special function called the Bigamma function. It provides a generalization of Euler's gamma function. Several algebraic properties of this new function are studied. In particular, results linking this new…
This article is a continuation of a previous work where we studied infinite horizon control problems for which the dynamic, running cost and control space may be different in two half-spaces of some euclidian space $\R^N$. In this article…
In this paper, we study the problem of finding the global minima of a given function. Specifically, we consider complicated functions with numerous local minima, as is often the case for real-world data mining losses. We do so by applying a…
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for viability of evolution inclusions with locally monotone operators in the sense of Liu and R\"ockner [J. Funct. Anal., 259 (2010), pp. 2902-2922]. This allows us to prove wellposedness of…
The classical beta function B(x; y) is one of the most fundamental special functions, due to its important role in various fields in the mathematical, physical, engineering and statistical sciences. Useful extensions of the classical Beta…
Let $\{b_H(t),t\in\mathbb{R}\}$ be the fractional Brownian motion with parameter $0<H<1$. When $1/2<H$, we consider diffusion equations of the type \[X(t)=c+\int_0^t\sigma\bigl(X(u)\bigr)\mathrm {d}b_H(u)+\int _0^t\mu\bigl(X(u)\bigr)\mathrm…
A novel refinement of the conventional treatment of Kadanoff--Baym equations is suggested. Besides the Boltzmann equation another differential equation is used for calculating the evolution of the non-equilibrium two-point function.…
We present a result about solvability in $W^{2}_{p}$, $p>d$, in the whole space $\bR^{d}$ of Bellman's equations with VMO ``coefficients''. Parabolic equations are touched upon as well.
We describe a general-purpose method for finding high-quality solutions to hard optimization problems, inspired by self-organized critical models of co-evolution such as the Bak-Sneppen model. The method, called Extremal Optimization,…
We discuss approximation of extremal functions by polynomials in the weighted Bergman spaces $A^p_\alpha$ where $-1 < \alpha < 0$ and $-1 < \alpha < p-2$. We obtain bounds on how close the approximation is to the true extremal function in…
We characterize those open sets of the space time in which parabolic forward-in-time BMO functions are in a certain forward-in-time exponential integrability class. The characterization holds under qualitative connectivity assumptions on…
We begin with an improvement to an extension result for subharmonic functions of Blanchet et al. With the aid of this improvement we then give extension results for subharmonic functions, for separately subharmonic functions, for harmonic…
In this paper we develop a variational method for the Loewner equation in higher dimensions. As a result we obtain a version of Pontryagin's maximum principle from optimal control theory for the Loewner equation in several complex…
It is developed the theory of the Dirichlet problem for harmonic functions. On this basis, for the nondegenerate Beltrami equations in the quasidisks and, in particular, in the smooth domains, it is proved the existence of regular solutions…
This work is focused on the application of functional-type a posteriori error estimates and corresponding indicators to a class of time-dependent problems. We consider the algorithmic part of their derivation and implementation and also…
In this paper, we study integral functionals defined on spaces of functions with values on general (non-separable) Banach spaces. We introduce a new class of integrands and multifunctions for which we obtain measurable selection results.…
