We study counterfactual classification as a new tool for decision-making under hypothetical (contrary to fact) scenarios. We propose a doubly-robust nonparametric estimator for a general counterfactual classifier, where we can incorporate…

We review and extend in several directions recent results on the asymptotic safety approach to quantum gravity. The central issue in this approach is the search of a Fixed Point having suitable properties, and the tool that is used is a…

In this paper, we study existence, multiplicity and concentration of positive solutions for the following class of quasilinear problems \[ - \Delta_{\Phi}u + V(\epsilon x)\phi(\vert u\vert)u = f(u)\quad \mbox{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^{N} \,\,\,…

Let K be a number field or a function field of characteristic 0, let f be a K-rational function of degree greater than 1, and let a be an element of K. Let S be a finite set of places of K containing all the archimedean ones and the primes…

This is a review paper outlining recent progress in the spectral analysis of first order systems. We work on a closed manifold and study an elliptic self-adjoint first order system of linear partial differential equations. The aim is to…

We present a simple result that allows us to evaluate the asymptotic order of the remainder of a partial asymptotic expansion of the quantile function $h(u)$ as $u\to 0^+$ or $1^-$. This is focussed on important univariate distributions…

In a smoothly bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset R^n$ with $n\ge 1$, a no-flux initial-boundary value problem for \[ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} u_t=\Delta \big(u\phi(v)\big), v_t=\Delta v-uv, \end{array} \right. \] is considered under the…

We consider the convolution model where i.i.d. random variables $X_i$ having unknown density $f$ are observed with additive i.i.d. noise, independent of the $X$'s. We assume that the density $f$ belongs to either a Sobolev class or a class…

We consider nonnegative solutions to $-\Delta u=f(u)$ in unbounded euclidean domains, where $f$ is merely locally Lipschitz continuous and satisfies $f(0)<0$. In the half-plane, and without any other assumption on $u$, we prove that $u$ is…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a tempered distribution $F\in S'(R)$ to be positive definite. A generalized Cauchy transform $\widetilde{F}$ of $F$ is used as a numerical continuation of $F$ to the open upper and lower…

This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions for regular discrete second-order single-variable boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions, including a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, of the form:…

The Weak Gravity Conjecture has recently been re-formulated in terms of a particle with non-negative self-binding energy. Because of the dual conformal field theory (CFT) formulation in the anti-de Sitter space the conformal dimension…

The two-sample problem for Cronbach's coefficient $\alpha_C$, as an estimate of test or composite score reliability, has attracted little attention, compared to the extensive treatment of the one-sample case. It is necessary to compare the…

The positivity property for canonical bases asserts that the structure constants of the multiplication for the canonical basis are in ${\mathbb N}[v,v^{-1}]$. Let $\mathbf U$ be the quantum group over ${\mathbb Q}(v)$ associated with a…

Let $f :\R\to\R$ be a continuous function. We prove that under some additional assumptions on $f$ and $A:\R\to\R_{+}$, weak $\Cuno$ solutions of the differential inequality $-\diver(A(\abs{\nabla u})\nabla u)\ge f(u)$ on $\RN$ are…

Linear second-order ordinary differential equations of the form $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(a,z)$ $+g(z)\}w$ are studied for large values of the real parameter $u$, where $z$ ranges over a bounded or unbounded complex domain $Z$, and $a_{0} \le…

Let $X\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex closed and semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial positive on $X$. We prove that there exists an exponent $N\geq 1$, such that for any $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^n$ the function…
