In this paper, we study a class of approximation problems, appearing in data approximation and signal processing. The approximations are constructed as combinations of polynomial splines (piecewise polynomials), whose parameters are subject…

In this paper, we are interested in shape optimization problems involving the ge ometry (normal, curvatures) of the surfaces. We consider a class of hypersurface s in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ satisfying a uniform ball condition and we prove the…

In this article we study optimization problems ruled by $\alpha$-fractional diffusion operators with volume constraints. By means of penalization techniques we prove existence of solutions. We also show that every solution is locally of…

In this paper we address the following question: given a holomorphic function with prescribed $L^p(\mathbb{R})$ and $L^q(\mathbb{R})$ norm (with $1\leq p,q \leq \infty$) along two parallel lines in the complex plane, then what is the…

Given a (genus 2) cube-with-holes M, i.e. the complement in S^3 of a handlebody H, we relate intrinsic properties of M (like its cut number) with extrinsic features depending on the way the handlebody H is knotted in S^3. Starting from a…

We establish a number of results about smooth and topological concordance of knots in $S^1\times S^2$. The winding number of a knot in $S^1\times S^2$ is defined to be its class in $H_1(S^1\times S^2;\mathbb{Z})\cong \mathbb{Z}$. We show…

We study classification problems using binary estimators where the decision boundary is described by horizon functions and where the data distribution satisfies a geometric margin condition. A key novelty of our work is the derivation of…

Lebesgue space bounds $L^{p_1}({\mathbb R}^1) \times L^{p_2}(^1) \to L^q({\mathbb R}^1)$ are established for certain maximal bilinear operators. The proof combines a trilinear smoothing inequality with Calder\'on-Zygmund theory. A reference…

For a smooth $k$-dimensional submanifold $\Sigma$ of a $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold $M$, we extend the $L^p(\Sigma)$ restriction bounds of Burq-G\'erard-Tzvetkov -- originally proved for individual Laplace--Beltrami…

Let $X$ be a compact subset of the complex plane and let $R^p(X)$, $2< p < \infty$, denote the closure of the rational functions with poles off $X$ in the $L^p$ norm. In this paper we consider three conditions that show how the functions in…

We characterize the sets of norm one vectors $\mathbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k$ in a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ such that there exists a $k$-linear symmetric form attaining its norm at $(\textbf{x}_1,\ldots,\mathbf{x}_k)$. We prove that in…

The main result of this paper is a proof that, for any $f \in L_1[a,b]$, a sequence of its orthogonal projections $(P_{\Delta_n}(f))$ onto splines of order $k$ with arbitrary knots $\Delta_n$, converges almost everywhere provided that the…

We prove sharp embedding inequalities for certain reduced Sobolev spaces that arise naturally in the context of Dirichlet problems with $L^1$ data. We also find the optimal target spaces for such embeddings, which in dimension 2 could be…
