In this paper we study the Perron method for solving the p-harmonic Dirichlet problem on the topologist's comb. For functions which are bounded and continuous at the accessible points, we obtain invariance of the Perron solutions under…
We study the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator on a B-regular domain $\Omega$, allowing boundary data that is singular or unbounded. We introduce the concept of pluri-quasibounded functions on $\Omega$ and $\partial…
We prove a number of results related to the size and propagation of boundary pluripolar sets, the exceptional sets for the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge--Amp\`ere equation. We extend Stout's result that peak sets on strictly…
We revisit the classical dual ascent algorithm for minimization of convex functionals in the presence of linear constraints, and give convergence results which apply even for non-convex functionals. We describe limit points in terms of the…
We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.
Alternating projection onto convex sets (POCS) provides an iterative procedure to find a signal that satisfies two or more convex constraints when the sets intersect. For nonintersecting constraints, the method of simultaneous projections…
We analyze the spectral properties of a particular class of unbounded open sets. These are made of a central bounded ``core'', with finitely many unbounded tubes attached to it. We adopt an elementary and purely variational point of view,…
We prove that the set of matchings with a fixed number of unmatched vertices is Schur-positive with respect to the set of short chords. Two proofs are presented. The first proof applies a new combinatorial criterion for Schur-positivity,…
The classical binary hypothesis testing problem is revisited. We notice that when one of the hypotheses is composite, there is an inherent difficulty in defining an optimality criterion that is both informative and well-justified. For…
In this paper, we construct an algorithm for minimising piecewise smooth functions for which derivative information is not available. The algorithm constructs a pair of quadratic functions, one on each side of the point with smallest known…
We use lower and upper solutions to investigate the existence of the greatest and the least solutions for quasimonotone systems of measure differential equations. The established results are then used to study the solvability of Stieltjes…
A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…
The theory of viscosity solutions has been effective for representing and approximating weak solutions to fully nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) such as the elliptic Monge-Amp\`ere equation. The approximation theory of…
Consider a measurable space with an atomless finite vector measure. This measure defines a mapping of the $\sigma$-field into an Euclidean space. According to the Lyapunov convexity theorem, the range of this mapping is a convex compactum.…
We present an experiment where we tune the decoherence in a quantum interferometer using one of the simplest object available in the physic of quantum conductors : an ohmic contact. For that purpose, we designed an electronic Mach-Zehnder…
The purpose of this paper is to study convergence of Monge-Ampere measures associated to sequences of plurisubharmonic functions defined on a hyperconvex subset of ${\mathbb C^n}$.
Let L be an ample line bundle on a smooth projective variety X over a non-archimedean field K. For a continuous metric on L, we show in the following two cases that the semipositive envelope is a continuous semipositive metric on L and that…
We study systems of globally coupled interval maps, where the identical individual maps have two expanding, fractional linear, onto branches, and where the coupling is introduced via a parameter - common to all individual maps - that…
We define tests of boolean functions which distinguish between linear (or quadratic) polynomials, and functions which are very far, in an appropriate sense, from these polynomials. The tests have optimal or nearly optimal trade-offs between…
The behaviour of the moment-sums-of-squares (moment-SOS) hierarchy for polynomial optimal control problems on compact sets has been explored to a large extent. Our contribution focuses on the case of non-compact control sets. We describe a…
