We prove that if $(u,\Gamma)$ is a minimizer of the functional $$ J(u,\Gamma)=\int_{B_1(0)\setminus \Gamma}|\nabla u|^2dx +\H^1(\Gamma) $$ and $\Gamma$ connects $\partial B_1(0)$ to a point in the interior, then $\Gamma$ satisfies a…

Stochastic methods for minimizing a convex integral functional, as initiated by Robbins and Monro in the early 1950s, rely on the evaluation of a gradient (or subgradient if the function is not smooth) and moving in the corresponding…

In this paper, we introduce a definition of BV functions in a Gelfand triple which is an extension of the definition of BV functions in [2] by using Dirichlet form theory. By this definition, we can consider the stochastic reflection…

An approximation, in the sense of $\Gamma$-convergence and in any dimension $d\geq1$, of Griffith-type functionals, with $p-$growth ($p>1$) in the symmetrized gradient, is provided by means of a sequence of non-local integral functionals…

We consider regularity issues for minima of non-autonomous functionals in the Calculus of Variations exhibiting non-uniform ellipticity features. We provide a few sharp regularity results for local minimizers that also cover the case of…

We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…

The aim of this paper is to present an original approach that takes advantage from the geometric features of strictly convex functions to tackle the problem of finding the minimum from another perspective. The general idea is that near the…

In this paper, we first study nonsmooth steepest descent method for nonsmooth functions defined on Hilbert space and establish the corresponding algorithm by proximal subgradients. Then, we use this algorithm to find stationary points for…

We apply upper and lower compensated convex transforms, which are `tight' one-sided approximations of a given function, to the extraction of fine geometric singularities from semiconvex/semiconcave functions and DC-functions in…

We use variational convergence to derive a hierarchy of one-dimensional rod theories, starting out from three-dimensional models in nonlinear elasticity subject to local volume-preservation. The densities of the resulting $\Gamma$-limits…

In this paper, we establish a suitable version of the Hahn-Banach theorem within the framework of Colombeau spaces, a class of spaces used to model generalized functions. Our approach addresses the case where maps are defined…

Trace norm regularization is a widely used approach for learning low rank matrices. A standard optimization strategy is based on formulating the problem as one of low rank matrix factorization which, however, leads to a non-convex problem.…

We consider a family of non-local and non-convex functionals, and we prove that their Gamma-liminf is bounded from below by a positive multiple of the Sobolev norm or the total variation. As a by-product, we answer some open questions…

Let $X=G/H$ be a reductive homogeneous space with $H$ noncompact, endowed with a $G$-invariant pseudo-Riemannian structure. Let $L$ be a reductive subgroup of $G$ acting properly on $X$ and $\Gamma$ a torsion-free discrete subgroup of $L$.…

We summarize recent results initiating spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash G/H$, beyond the classical setting where $H$ is compact (e.g. theory of automorphic forms for arithmetic $\Gamma$) or…

We develop regularization methods to find flat minima while training deep neural networks. These minima generalize better than sharp minima, yielding models outperforming baselines on real-world test data (which may be distributed…

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in mathematical models leading to the minimization, in a symmetric matrix space, of a Bregman divergence coupled with a regularization term. We address problems of this type within a…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…

An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…
