Functions that are holomorphic and Lipschitz in a smoothly bounded domain enjoy a gain in the order of Lipschitz regularity in the complex tangential directions near the boundary. We describe this gain explicitly in terms of the defining…

We give a one-sentence proof that a continuous real-valued function f on a closed, bounded interval attains a maximum value, by the following device. We define x in [a, b] to be a lookout point if f(t) does not exceed f(x) whenever t lies…

We find a normal form which describes the high energy dynamics of a class of piecewise smooth Fermi-Ulam ping pong models; depending on the value of a single real parameter, the dynamics can be either hyperbolic or elliptic. In the first…

This paper studies stability of the exponential utility maximization when there are small variations on agent's utility function. Two settings are considered. First, in a general semimartingale model where random endowments are present, a…

We obtain new results pertaining to convergence and recurrence of multiple ergodic averages along functions from a Hardy field. Among other things, we confirm some of the conjectures posed by Frantzikinakis in [Fra10; Fra16] and obtain…

We show that a function $ f $ of bounded variation satisfies $$ \Var Mf \leq C \Var f $$ where $ Mf $ is the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function of $ f $. Consequently, the operator $ f \mapsto (Mf)' $ is bounded from $ W^{1,1}(R) $…

We solve Talagrand's entropy problem: the L_2-covering numbers of every uniformly bounded class of functions are exponential in its shattering dimension. This extends Dudley's theorem on classes of {0,1}-valued functions, for which the…

In this paper, we will study harmonic functions on the complete and incomplete spaces with nonnegative Ricci curvature which exhibit inhomogeneous collapsing behaviors at infinity. The main result states that any nonconstant harmonic…

We introduce a weak asymptotic version of nonlinear contraction, termed \emph{asymptotic pointwise contraction}. For a mapping on a metric space, this notion requires the existence of a sequence of functions that dominate the distances…

Let $\mathcal{H}(b)$ be the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to a non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, and let $\phi=b/a$, where $a$ is the Pythagorean mate of $b$. It is known that, if $f$ is a function holomorphic on a…

Let $\mathbb F$ be a finite field and let $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ be vector spaces of $\mathbb F$-valued continuous functions defined on locally compact spaces $X$ and $Y$, respectively. We look at the representation of linear…

The best constant in the usual Lp norm inequality for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on R1 is obtained for the class of all ``peak-shaped'' functions. A positive function on the line is called ``peak-shaped'' if it is…

Lyapunov functions with exponential weights have been used successfully as a powerful tool for the stability analysis of hyperbolic systems of balance laws. In this paper we extend the class of weight functions to a family of hyperbolic…

A classical result states that every lower bounded superharmonic function on $\Bbb R^2$ is constant. In this paper the following (stronger) one-circle version is proven. If $f\colon \Bbb R^2\to (-\infty,\infty]$ is lower semicontinuous,…

Grothendieck's theorem asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $\left( 1;1\right) $-summing. In this note we prove that the optimal constant $g_{m}$ so that every continuous $m$-linear…

In this paper, we derive a new form of maximum principle for smooth functions on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ for which there exists a bounded vector field $X$ such that $\langle\nabla f,X\rangle\geq 0$ on $M$ and…

Let $|\cdot|$ be the standard Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $X=(\mathbb{R}^n,\|\cdot\|)$ be a normed space. A subspace $Y\subset X$ is \emph{strongly $\alpha$-Euclidean} if there is a constant $t$ such that…

We show that the vacuum ground state energy for massive scalars on a 1-dim L-sites periodic lattice can be interpreted as the thermodynamic free energy of particles at temperature 1/L governed by the Arutyunov-Frolov mirror Hamiltonian.…

In the setting of symplectic manifolds which are convex at infinity, we use a version of the Aleksandrov maximum principle to derive uniform estimates for Floer solutions that are valid for a wider class of Hamiltonians and almost complex…

We evaluate the cohesive energies E$_b$ of four systems in which particles move on a cylindrical surface, at fixed distance R from the axis. We find quite nonuniversal dependences of E$_b$ on R. For the Coulomb binding problem, E$_b$ is a…
