In 1963, Littman, Stampacchia, and Weinberger proved a mean value theorem for elliptic operators in divergence form with bounded measurable coefficients. In the Fermi lectures in 1998, Caffarelli stated a much simpler mean value theorem for…
We give background which shows the connection between the mean value theorem and the obstacle problem, and then we prove that a set is a mean value set for an elliptic operator of the form $Lu := \partial_i (a^{ij}(x) \partial_j u(x))$ if…
We study the mean values sets of the second order divergence form elliptic operator with principal coefficients defined as $$a^{ij}_k(x):= \begin{cases} \alpha_k \delta^{ij}(x) &x_n>0 \beta_k \delta^{ij}(x) &x_n<0. \end{cases}$$ In…
We consider sequences of linear operators $U_nf(x)$ with localization property. It is proved that for any set $E$ of measure zero there exists a set $G$ for which $U_n\ZI_G(x)$ diverges at each point $x\in E$. This result is a…
We prove surface and volume mean value formulas for classical solutions to uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form with H\"{o}lder continuous coefficients. The kernels appearing in the integrals are supported on the level and…
We study the obstacle problem with an elliptic operator in nondivergence form with principal coefficients in VMO. We develop all of the basic theory of existence, uniqueness, optimal regularity, and nondegeneracy of the solutions. These…
We study boundary value problems for linear elliptic differential operators of order one. The underlying manifold may be noncompact, but the boundary is assumed to be compact. We require a symmetry property of the principal symbol of the…
Generalized Lagrangian mean theories are used to analyze the interactions between mean flows and fluctuations, where the decomposition is based on a Lagrangian description of the flow. A systematic geometric framework was recently developed…
This paper builds on the theory of generalised functions begun in [1]. The Colombeau theory of generalised scalar fields on manifolds is extended to a nonlinear theory of generalised tensor fields which is diffeomorphism invariant and has…
The variance conjecture in Asymptotic Convex Geometry stipulates that the Euclidean norm of a random vector uniformly distributed in a (properly normalised) high-dimensional convex body $K\subset {\mathbb R}^n$ satisfies a Poincar\'e-type…
We extend an inequality for harmonic functions, obtained in previous research by the authors, to the case of solutions of uniformly elliptic equations in divergence form, with merely measurable coefficients. The inequality for harmonic…
The law of large numbers extends to random sets by employing Minkowski addition. Above that, a central limit theorem is available for set-valued random variables. The existing results use abstract isometries to describe convergence of the…
This note establishes convergence in mean of order $p$, $0<p\le 1$ for $d$-dimensional arrays of random vectors in Hilbert spaces under the Ces\`{a}ro uniform integrability conditions. In the case where $0<p<1$, our $L_p$ convergence is…
We develop elements of a general dilation theory for operator-valued measures and bounded linear maps between operator algebras that are not necessarily completely-bounded. We prove our main results by extending and generalizing some known…
We present a mathematical structure which unifies mathematical structures of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It consists of the noncommutative algebra of compactly supported, complex valued functions ${\mathcal A}$, with…
Optimization problems, generalized equations, and the multitude of other variational problems invariably lead to the analysis of sets and set-valued mappings as well as their approximations. We review the central concept of set-convergence…
We study generic holomorphic families of dynamical systems presenting problems of small divisors with fixed arithmetic. We prove that we have convergence for all parameter values or divergence everywhere except for an exceptional set in the…
In this paper, we present new structures and results on the set $\M_\D$ of mean functions on a given symmetric domain $\D$ of $\mathbb{R}^2$. First, we construct on $\M_\D$ a structure of abelian group in which the neutral element is simply…
The purpose of this paper is to present some further applications of the general decoupling theory from [B-D1, 2] to certain diophantine issues. In particular, we concider mean value estimates relevant to the Bombieri-Iwaniec approach to…
We study the boundary regularity of solutions of elliptic operators in divergence form with $C^{0,\alpha}$ coefficients or operators which are small perturbations of the Laplacian in non-smooth domains. We show that, as in the case of the…
