Given a convex set $C$ in a real vector space $E$ and two points $x,y\in C$, we investivate which are the possible values for the variation $f(y)-f(x)$, where $f:C\longrightarrow [m,M]$ is a bounded convex function. We then rewrite the…

Given a space of homogeneous type we give sufficient conditions on a variable exponent {p(.)} so that the fractional maximal operator {M_{\eta}} maps {L^{p(.)}(X)} to {L^{q(.)}(X)}, where {1/p(.) - 1/q(.) = {\eta}}. In the endpoint case we…

We introduce a symmetrization technique that allows us to translate a problem of controlling the deviation of some functionals on a product space from their mean into a problem of controlling the deviation between two independent copies of…

We prove large (and moderate) deviations for a class of linear combinations of spacings generated by i.i.d. exponentially distributed random variables. We allow a wide class of coefficients which can be expressed in terms of continuous…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. We assume without loss of generality that $\mu(X)=1.$ Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^p\times L^q \to R^*(f, g)(x) =…

Classically, a mainstream approach for solving a convex-concave min-max problem is to instead solve the variational inequality problem arising from its first-order optimality conditions. Is it possible to solve min-max problems faster by…

In this paper, we obtain an explicit total variation bound in the central limit theorem for the sums of non-i.i.d. random variables. Our results show that, under suitable assumptions, Lindeberg's condition is sufficient and necessary for…

We consider the problem of minimizing the continuous valued total variation subject to different unary terms on trees and propose fast direct algorithms based on dynamic programming to solve these problems. We treat both the convex and the…

A complex function $f(z)$ is called a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function if it is holomorphic in the upper half-plane ${\mathbb C}_+$ and maps ${\mathbb C}_+$ into itself. By a maximum principle a Herglotz-Nevanlinna function which takes a real…

This paper is about spherical maximal functions with general dilation sets acting on functions in weighted $L^p(|x|^\alpha)$ spaces. Aside from endpoint cases, a complete description of the allowable ranges of $p$, $\alpha$ is given in…

Given a max-plus linear system and a semimodule, the problem of computing the maximal controlled invariant subsemimodule is still open to this day. In this paper, we consider this problem for the specific class of fully actuated systems and…

In this paper, we establish a new inequality tying together the effective length and the maximum correlation between the outputs of an arbitrary pair of Boolean functions which operate on two sequences of correlated random variables. We…

We obtain the sharp factor of the two-sides estimates of the optimal constant in generalized Hardy's inequality with two general Borel measures on $\mathbb{R}$, which generalizes and unifies the known continuous and discrete cases.
