We consider finite Morse index solutions to semilinear elliptic questions, and we investigate their smoothness. It is well-known that: - For $n=2$, there exist Morse index $1$ solutions whose $L^\infty$ norm goes to infinity. - For $n \geq…

Moran's index is a basic measure of spatial autocorrelation, which has been applied to varied fields of both natural and social sciences. A good measure should have clear boundary values or critical value. However, for Moran's index, both…

We derive a numerical method, based on operator splitting, to abstract parabolic semilinear boundary coupled systems. The method decouples the linear components which describe the coupling and the dynamics in the bulk and on the surface,…

The problem of constrained Markov decision process is considered. An agent aims to maximize the expected accumulated discounted reward subject to multiple constraints on its costs (the number of constraints is relatively small). A new dual…

Parameter-elliptic boundary-value problems are investigated on the extended Sobolev scale. This scale consists of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation spaces with respect to the Hilbert Sobolev scale. The latter are the H\"ormander…

We explore novel approaches for solving nonlinear optimization problems with unrelaxable bound constraints, which must be satisfied before the objective function can be evaluated. Our method reformulates the unrelaxable bound-constrained…

In recent work, Baird et al. have introduced a generalized Maslov index which allows oscillation techniques that have previously been restricted to eigenvalue problems with underlying Hamiltonian structure to be extended to the…

We consider the problem of minimizing variational integrals defined on \cc{nonlinear} Sobolev spaces of competitors taking values into the sphere. The main novelty is that the underlying energy features a non-uniformly elliptic integrand…

We prove existence and uniqueness of stochastic representations for solutions to elliptic and parabolic boundary value and obstacle problems associated with a degenerate Markov diffusion process. In particular, our article focuses on the…

Let $Y\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a closed definable subset and $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a smooth manifold. We construct a version of Morse theory for the restriction to $X$ of the Euclidean distance function from $Y$. This is done using…

We investigate nodal radial solutions to semilinear problems of type \[\begin{cases}-\Delta u = f(|x|,u) \qquad & \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where $\Omega$ is a bounded radially symmetric…

We introduce a framework for obtaining tight mixing times for Markov chains based on what we call restricted modified log-Sobolev inequalities. Modified log-Sobolev inequalities (MLSI) quantify the rate of relative entropy contraction for…
