We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…
The goal of this paper is to prove a stable determination of the coefficients for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, in a Lipschitz domain, by boundary measurements.
Usually, given a continuous-time nonlinear model, a closed form solution for an exact discretization cannot be found explicitly, originating the need of approximating discrete-time models. This note studies the preservation of the Lipschitz…

We study differentially private (DP) stochastic optimization (SO) with loss functions whose worst-case Lipschitz parameter over all data may be extremely large or infinite. To date, the vast majority of work on DP SO assumes that the loss…

Stochastic optimization problems often involve data distributions that change in reaction to the decision variables. This is the case for example when members of the population respond to a deployed classifier by manipulating their features…
