Manifold regularization is a commonly used technique in semi-supervised learning. It enforces the classification rule to be smooth with respect to the data-manifold. Here, we derive sample complexity bounds based on pseudo-dimension for…

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions to sweeping processes in the presence of stochastic perturbations, where the moving set takes uniformly prox-regular values and varies continuously with respect to the Hausdorff distance,…
It is proved that if a smooth function $u(x)$, $x\in \mathbb{R}^3$, such that $\inf_{s\in S}|u_N(s)|>0$, where $u_N$ is the normal derivative of $u$ on $S$, has a closed smooth surface $S$ of zeros, then the function $u(x)+\epsilon v(x)$…
We are interested in analyzing the preservation of bifurcations in a class of piecewise smooth vector fields with a nonregular switching set under a smoothing process that approximates them by smooth vector fields. We examine cases in which…
The aim of this paper is to provide a discussion on current directions of research involving typical singularities of 3D nonsmooth vector fields. A brief survey of known results is presented. The main purpose of this work is to describe the…
We generalize a regularization method of Stumpf 1984 in the case of non-linear spinor field models to fourth order theories and to non-scalar interactions. The involved discrete symmetries can be connected with C,P,T transformations.
In this paper, we provide a geometric analysis of a new hysteresis model that is based upon singular perturbations. Here hysteresis refers to a type of regularization of piecewise smooth differential equations where the past of a…
This paper investigates optimal control problems formulated over a class of piecewise-smooth vector fields. Instead of optimizing over the discontinuous system directly, we instead formulate optimal control problems over a family of…
Linear stability of inviscid, parallel, and stably stratified shear flow is studied under the assumption of smooth strictly monotonic profiles of shear flow and density, so that the local Richardson number is positive everywhere. The…

We study the minimax problem $\min_{x\in M} \max_y f_r(x,y):=f(x,y)-h(y)$, where $M$ is a compact submanifold, $f$ is continuously differentiable in $(x, y)$, $h$ is a closed, weakly-convex (possibly non-smooth) function and we assume that…
We present a notion of $\Delta$-stability and stability filtration in arbitrary categories which is equivalent to the existence of Harder-Narasimhan (HN) sequences on objects. Indeed it is equivalent to the existence of a zero morphism, a…
