We study the subsets of metric spaces that are negligible for the infimal length of connecting curves; such sets are called metrically removable. In particular, we show that every totally disconnected set with finite Hausdorff measure of…

A spectral minimal partition of a manifold is a decomposition into disjoint open sets that minimizes a spectral energy functional. While it is known that bipartite minimal partitions correspond to nodal partitions of Courant-sharp Laplacian…

This work introduces liftings and their associated Young measures as new tools to study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of pairs $(u_j,Du_j)j$ for $(u_j)_j \in \mathrm{BV}(\Omega;\mathbb{R}^m)$ under weak* convergence. These tools are…

A subset of a topological space is said to be \emph{universally measurable} if it is measured by the completion of each countably additive $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on the space, and \emph{universally null} if it has measure zero for…

The aim of this article is to define a notion of cardinal utility function called measurable utility and to define it on a connected and separable subset of a weakly ordered topological space. The definition is equivalent to the ones given…

The relation between two Morse functions defined on a common domain can be studied in terms of their Jacobi set. The Jacobi set contains points in the domain where the gradients of the functions are aligned. Both the Jacobi set itself as…

Let $B_d$ denote the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^d$, $d\ge 1$. Given a holomorphic function $\varphi: B_d \to B_1$, we study the corresponding family $\sigma_\alpha[\varphi]$, $\alpha\in\partial B_1$, of Clark measures on the unit sphere…

We introduce a non real-valued measure on the definable sets contained in the finite part of a cartesian power of an o-minimal field $R$. The measure takes values in an ordered semiring, the Dedekind completion of a quotient of $R$. We show…

Let $G$ be a reductive group over a local field $F$ satisfying the assumptions of \cite{Deb1}, $G_{reg}\subset G$ the subset of regular elements. Let $T\subset G$ be a maximal torus. We write $T_{reg}=T\cap G_{reg}$. Let $dg ,dt$ be Haar…

Let $T\subset\mathbb{R}$, $M$ be a metric space with metric $d$, and $M^T$ be the set of all functions mapping $T$ into $M$. Given $f\in M^T$, we study the properties of the approximate variation $\{V_\varepsilon(f)\}_{\varepsilon>0}$,…

In this paper we prove that if $\{\varphi_i(x)=\lambda x+t_i\}$ is an equicontractive iterated function system and $b$ is a positive integer satisfying $\frac{\log b}{\log |\lambda|}\notin\mathbb{Q},$ then almost every $x$ is normal in base…

We investigate some properties of balayage, or, sweeping (out), of measures with respect to subclasses of subharmonic functions. The following issues are considered: relationships between balayage of measures with respect to classes of…

The Levi-Civita field $\mathcal{R}$ is the smallest non-Archimidean ordered field extension of the real numbers that is real closed and Cauchy complete in the topology induced by the order. In an earlier paper [Shamseddine-Berz-2003], a…

We prove estimates of a $p$-harmonic measure, $p \in (n-m, \infty]$, for sets in $\mathbf{R}^n$ which are close to an $m$-dimensional hyperplane $\Lambda \subset \mathbf{R}^n$, $m \in [0,n-1]$. Using these estimates, we derive results of…

Assume that $V_h$ is a space of piecewise polynomials of degree less than $r\geq 1$ on a family of quasi-uniform triangulation of size $h$. Then the following well-known upper bound holds for a sufficiently smooth function $u$ and $p\in [1,…

We focus on some regularity properties of $\omega$-minima of variational integrals with $\varphi$-growth and we provide an upper bound on the Hausdorff dimension of their singular set.

For $s\in(0,1)$ and an open bounded set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, we prove existence and uniqueness of absolute minimisers of the supremal functional $$E_\infty(u)=\|(-\Delta)^s u\|_{L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)},$$ where $(-\Delta)^s$ is the…

We prove that, for every $\alpha > -1$, the pull-back measure $\phi ({\cal A}_\alpha)$ of the measure $d{\cal A}_\alpha (z) = (\alpha + 1) (1 - |z|^2)^\alpha \, d{\cal A} (z)$, where ${\cal A}$ is the normalized area measure on the unit…

We study functorial properties of the spaces $R(X)$, introduced in [Studia Math. 197 (2010), 69-79] as a central tool in the analysis of the Hardy operator minus the identity on decreasing functions. In particular, we provide conditions on…

Fix $b\in (0,\infty)$ and $p\in (1,\infty)$. Let $\phi$ be a positive measurable function on $I_b:=(0,b)$. Define the Lorentz Gamma norm, $\r_{p,\phi}$, at the measurable function $f:\R+\to\R+$ by…
