Inspired by R. Bartnik's mass minimization problem in general relativity, we investigate a dual problem of maximizing the capacity among asymptotically flat extensions (with nonnegative scalar curvature) of some fixed two-dimensional…

We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…

We consider variational integrals of linear growth satisfying the condition of $\mu$-ellipticity for some exponent $\mu >1$ and prove that stationary points $u$: $\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^N$ with the property \[ \limsup_{|x|\to \infty}…

Under the assumption that orthogonal polynomials of several variables admit an addition formula, we can define a convolution structure and use it to study the Fourier orthogonal expansions on a homogeneous space. We define a maximal…

We compute the optimal constant and characterise the maximisers at all spatial scales for the Agmon--H\"ormander $L^2$-Fourier adjoint restriction estimate on the sphere. The maximisers switch back and forth from being constants to being…

We show that, for $n\geq 3$, $\lim_{t \to 0} e^{it\Delta}f(x) = f(x)$ holds almost everywhere for all $f \in H^s (\mathbb{R}^n)$ provided that $s>\frac{n}{2(n+1)}$. Due to a counterexample by Bourgain, up to the endpoint, this result is…

We compute structure functions in the Hamiltonian formalism on a momentum lattice using a physically motivated regularisation that links the maximal parton number to the lattice size. We show for the $\phi ^4 _{3+1}$ theory that our method…

We establish a $\Gamma$-convergence result for $h\to 0$ of a thin nonlinearly elastic 3D-plate of thickness $h>0$ which is assumed to be glued to a support region in the 2D-plane $x_3=0$ over the $h$-2D-neighborhood of a given closed set…

The optimal $L^p \to L^q$ mapping properties for the (local) helical maximal function are obtained, except for endpoints. The proof relies on tools from multilinear harmonic analysis and, in particular, a localised version of the…

The $hp$-version of the finite element method is applied to a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation posed in one- and two-dimensional domains with analytic boundary. On suitably designed \emph{Spectral Boundary Layer meshes},…

In this thesis we study energy forms. These are quadratic forms on the space of real-valued measurable $m$-a.e. determined functions $$E:L^0(m) \to [0,\infty],$$ which assign to a measurable function $f$ its energy $E(f)$. Their two…

We consider Hamiltonian with $N$ point interactions in $\R^d, d=2,3,$ all with the same coupling constant, placed at vertices of an equilateral polygon $\PP_N$. It is shown that the ground state energy is locally maximized by a regular…

This paper constructs unique compactly supported functions in Sobolev spaces that have minimal norm, maximal support, and maximal central value, under certain renormalizations. They may serve as optimized basis functions in interpolation or…

For $n\in \mathbb{N}$ consider the $n$-dimensional hypercube as equal to the vector space $\mathbb{F}_2^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_2$ is the field of size two. Endow $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ with the Hamming metric, i.e., with the metric induced by the…

For given continuous functions $\gamma_{{}_{i}}: S^{n}\to \mathbb{R}_{+}$ (where $i=1, 2$), the functions $\gamma_{{}_{max}}$ and $\gamma_{{}_{min}}$ can be defined as natural way. In this paper, we show that the Wulff shape associated to…

In this paper we introduce the atomic Hardy space $\mathcal{H}^1((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ associated with the non-doubling probability measure $d\gamma_\alpha(x)=\frac{2x^{2\alpha+1}}{\Gamma(\alpha+1)}e^{-x^2}dx$ on $(0,\infty)$, for…

We prove that all groups of exponential growth support non-constant positive harmonic functions. In fact, out results hold in the more general case of strongly connected, finitely supported Markov chains invariant under some transitive…

Let $L$ be a homogeneous divergence form higher order elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients and $(p_-(L),\, p_+(L))$ be the maximal interval of exponents $q\in[1,\,\infty]$ such that the semigroup…

In this paper we establish the existence of extremal functions for weighted functionals with critical exponential growth in R^2, which arise from Henon-type equations. The proof is based on the notion of spherical symmetrization with…

We prove that a monomorphic functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ with finite supports is epimorphic, continuous, and its maximal $\emptyset$-modification $F^\circ$ preserves intersections. This implies that a monomorphic functor $F:Comp\to Comp$ of…
