This paper presents results concerning bifurcations of 2D piecewise-smooth dynamical systems governed by vector fields. Generic three-parameter families of a class of Non-Smooth Vector Fields are studied and the bifurcation diagrams are…

Given an Euclidean space, this paper elucidates the topological link between the partial derivatives of the Minkowski functional associated to a set (assumed to be compact, convex, with a differentiable boundary and a non-empty interior)…

It is proved that the space of differential forms with weak exterior and co-derivative, is compactly embedded into the space of square integrable differential forms. Mixed boundary conditions on weak Lipschitz domains are considered.…

We study compact stable embedded minimal surfaces whose boundary is given by two collections of closed smooth Jordan curves in close planes of Euclidean 3-space. Our main result is a classification of these minimal surfaces, under certain…

In this paper, we consider the boundary M of a weakly pseudoconvex domain in a Stein manifold. We point out a striking difference between the local cohomology and the global cohomology of M, and illustrate this with an example. We also…

We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous…

Let K be a connected Lie group and M a Hamiltonian K-manifold. In this paper, we introduce the notion of convexity of M. It implies that the momentum image is convex, the moment map has connected fibers, and the total moment map is open…

Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…

Inspired by a Blaschke's work about analytic convex surfaces, we study {\em shadow boundaries} of Riemannian submanifolds $M$, which are defined by a parallel vector field along $M$. Since a shadow boundary is just a closed subset of $M$,…

We introduce a notion of quasiconvexity for continuous functions $f$ defined on the vector bundle of linear maps between the tangent spaces of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, naturally generalizing the classical…

We introduce "weakly chained spaces", which need not be locally connected or path connected, but for which one has a reasonable notion of generalized fundamental group and associated generalized universal cover. We show that in the compact…

Integrally convex functions constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis, including M-convex functions, L-convex functions, and many others. This paper aims at a rather comprehensive survey of recent results on…

In this paper, we deal with analytic and geometric properties of orthogonally convex sets. We establish a Blaschke-type theorem for path-connected and orthogonally convex sets in the plane using orthogonally convex paths. The separation of…

We give the quasi--Euclidean classification of the maximal (with respect to the $f$--vector) alcoved polyhedra. The $f$--vector of these maximal convex bodies is $(20,30,12)$, so they are simple dodecahedra. We find eight quasi--Euclidean…

The set of all separable quantum states is compact and convex. We focus on the two-qubit quanum system and study the boundary of the set. Then we give the criterion to determine whether a separable state is on the boundary. Some…

The sets of strongly supercyclic, weakly l-sequentially supercyclic, weakly sequentially supercyclic, and weakly supercyclic vectors for an arbitrary normed-space operator are all dense in the normed space, regardless the notion of…

Computing control invariant sets is paramount in many applications. The families of sets commonly used for computations are ellipsoids and polyhedra. However, searching for a control invariant set over the family of ellipsoids is…

In this paper we study compactness and quantization properties of sequences of 1/2-harmonic maps $u_k\colon\R\to {\cal{S}}^{m-1}$ such that $|u_k|_{\dot H^{1/2}(\R,{\cal{S}}^{m-1})}\le C.$ More precisely we show that there exist a weak…
