FPSAC 2013 Extended Abstract. We introduce a new basis of the non-commutative symmetric functions whose elements have Schur functions as their commutative images. Dually, we build a basis of the quasi-symmetric functions which expand…

Approximations of non-smooth multivariate functions return low-order approximations in the vicinities of the singularities. Most prior works solve this problem for univariate functions. In this work we introduce a method for approximating…

A counterexample is given for the Knaster-like conjecture of Makeev for functions on $S^2$. Some particular cases of another conjecture of Makeev, on inscribing a quadrangle into a smooth simple closed curve, are solved positively.

We apply upper and lower compensated convex transforms, which are `tight' one-sided approximations of a given function, to the extraction of fine geometric singularities from semiconvex/semiconcave functions and DC-functions in…

In order to solve the minimization of a nonsmooth convex function, we design an inertial second-order dynamic algorithm, which is obtained by approximating the nonsmooth function by a class of smooth functions. By studying the asymptotic…

We present a convexity-type result concerning simple quasi-states on closed manifolds. As a corollary, an inequality emerges which relates the Poisson bracket and the measure of non-additivity of a simple quasi-state on a closed surface…
