We take a new look at dilation theory for nonself-adjoint operator algebras. Among the extremal (co)extensions of a representation, there is a special property of being fully extremal. This allows a refinement of some of the classical…

This article is an expanded version of the plenary talk given by Evans Harrell at QMath98, a meeting in Prague, June 1998. We consider Laplace operators and Schr\"odinger operators with potentials containing curvature on certain regions of…

In this paper, we investigate the extremal functions for anisotropic Trudinger-Moser inequalities. Our method uses convex symmetrization, the continuity of the supremum function, together with the relation between the supremums of the…
Discrete analogs of extrema of curvature and generalizations of the four-vertex theorem to the case of polygons and polyhedra are suggested and developed. For smooth curves and polygonal lines in the plane, a formula relating the number of…
