We give a geometric condition on a compact subset of a complex manifold which is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a smooth strictly plurisubharmonic function defined in a neighbourhood of this set.

We prove that if $\{ \varphi_j\}_j$ is a sequence of subharmonic functions which are increasing to some subharmonic function $\varphi$ in $\mathbb{C}$, then the union of all the weighted Hilbert spaces $H(\varphi_j)$ is dense in the…

Suppose that $X$ is an analytic subvariety of a Stein manifold $M$ and that $\varphi$ is a plurisubharmonic (psh) function on $X$ which is dominated by a continuous psh exhaustion function $u$ of $M$. Given any number $c>1$, we show that…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…

Given a bounded open subset $\Omega$ and closed subsets $A,B$ of $\mathbb{R}^k$, we discuss when an estimate $u(x)\le g(dist(x,A\cup B))$, $x\in\Omega\setminus(A\cup B)$, for a function $u$ subharmonic on $\Omega\setminus B$, implies that…

Submodular functions describe a variety of discrete problems in machine learning, signal processing, and computer vision. However, minimizing submodular functions poses a number of algorithmic challenges. Recent work introduced an…

For any $M, n \geq 2$ and any open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we find a smooth, strongly polyconvex function $F\colon \mathbb{R}^{M\times n}\to \mathbb{R}$ and a Lipschitz map $u\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^M$ that is a weak…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a $C^1$ domain, or more generally, a Lipschitz domain with small local Lipschitz constant. In this paper it is shown that if $u$ is a function harmonic in $\Omega$ and continuous in $\overline \Omega$ which…

We investigate the question of existence of plurisubharmonic defining functions for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we construct a family of simple counterexamples to the existence of…

We show that there exist unbounded functionals on the spaces of sequences that take at most one nonzero value on an arbitrary family of elements whose supports are pairwise disjoint.

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties.…

We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…

This paper deals with functions that defined in metric spaces and valued in complete paranormed vector spaces or valued in Banach spaces, and obtains some necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of finite measures.

We extend the notion of quasibounded harmonic functions to the plurisubharmonic setting. As an application, using the theory of Jensen measures, we show that certain generalized Dirichlet problems with unbounded boundary data admit unique…

Let $M$ be a complex manifold and $PSH^{cb}(M)$ be the space of bounded continuous plurisubharmonic functions on $M$. In this paper we study when functions from $PSH^{cb}(M)$ separate points. Our main results show that this property is…

We show that if X is a tight subspace of C(K) then X has the Pelczynski property and X^* is weakly sequentially complete. We apply this result to the space U of uniformly convergent Taylor series on the unit circle and using a minimal…

In dimension two or three, the weak maximum principal for biharmonic equation is valid in any bounded Lipschitz domains. In higher dimensions (greater than three), it was only known that the weak maximum principle holds in convex domains or…

Let $\Omega=\{r<0\}\subset\mathbb C^2$, with $r$ plurisubharmonic on $b\Omega=\{r=0\}$. Let $\rho$ be another defining function for $\Omega$. A formula for the determinant of the complex Hessian of $\rho$ in terms of $r$ is computed. This…

Assume that $V_h$ is a space of piecewise polynomials of degree less than $r\geq 1$ on a family of quasi-uniform triangulation of size $h$. Then the following well-known upper bound holds for a sufficiently smooth function $u$ and $p\in [1,…

We study connectedness in the pluri-fine topology on $\CC^n$ and obtain the following results. If $\Omega$ is a pluri-finely open and pluri-finely connected set in $\CC^n$ and $E\subset\CC^n$ is pluripolar, then $\Omega\setminus E$ is…
