We discuss the Siciak-Zaharjuta extremal function of a real convex body in C^n, a solution of the homogeneous complex Monge-Ampere equation on the exterior of the convex body. We determine several conditions under which a foliation by…

We revisit the general framework introduced by Fazylab et al. (SIAM J. Optim. 28, 2018) to construct Lyapunov functions for optimization algorithms in discrete and continuous time. For smooth, strongly convex objective functions, we relax…

We review and develop two little known results on the equality of mixed partial derivatives which can be considered the best results so far available in their respective domains. The former, due to Mikusi\'nski and his school, deals with…

We discuss some problems posed by Ciesielski. For example we show that, consistently, d_c is a singular cardinal and e_c<d_c. Next we prove that the Martin Axiom for sigma --centered forcing notions implies that for every function f:R^2…

In 1939 P\'al Tur\'an and J\'anos Er\H{o}d initiated the study of lower estimations of maximum norms of derivatives of polynomials, in terms of the maximum norms of the polynomials themselves, on convex domains of the complex plane. As a…

It is known that any finite idempotent algebra that satisfies a nontrivial Maltsev condition must satisfy the linear one-equality Maltsev condition (a variant of the term discovered by M. Siggers and refined by K. Kearnes, P. Markovi\'c,…

This is the first part of a possible monograph on the duality of Markov processes. It contains a proof of Fitzsimmons' existence theorem of a moderate Markov dual process relative to an excessive measure, m, together with the necessary…

We study convergence in law of partial sums of linear processes with heavy-tailed innovations. In the case of summable coefficients necessary and sufficient conditions for the finite dimensional convergence to an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy…

Let $K\subset \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomially convex compact set, $f$ be a function analytic in a domain $\overline{\mathbb{C}}\smallsetminus K$ with Taylor expansion $f\left( z\right) =\sum_{k=0}^{\infty }\frac{a_{k}}{z^{k+1}} $ at $\infty…

Through the study of the degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation, we establish the optimal regularity of the extremal function associated to intrinsic norms of Chern-Levine-Nirenberg and Bedford-Taylor. We prove a conjecture of…

We present a polynomial basis that exactly tridiagonalizes Teukolsky's radial equation for quasi-normal modes. These polynomials naturally emerge from the radial problem, and they are canonical in that they possess key features of classical…

We analyze the decomposition problem of multivariate polynomial-exponential functions from truncated series and present new algorithms to compute their decomposition. Using the duality between polynomials and formal power series, we first…

The partial derivatives and Laplacians of the Zernike circle polynomials occur in various places in the literature on computational optics. In a number of cases, the expansion of these derivatives and Laplacians in the circle polynomials…

We generalize the concepts of weak quantum logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) and weak hypercontractivity (HC), introduced in the quantum setting by Olkiewicz and Zegarlinski, to the case of non-primitive quantum Markov semigroups (QMS).…

Fix an integer $d\geq 2$. The parameters $c_0\in \bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ for which the unicritical polynomial $f_{d,c}(z)=z^d+c\in \mathbb{C}[z]$ has finite postcritical orbit, also known as Misiurewicz parameters, play a significant role in…

Motivated by the well-known implications among $t$-convexity properties of real functions, analogous relations among the upper and lower $M$-convexity properties of real functions are established. More precisely, having an $n$-tuple…

Consider a strong Markov process in continuous time, taking values in some Polish state space. Recently, Douc, Fort and Guillin (2009) introduced verifiable conditions in terms of a supermartingale property implying an explicit control of…

In 2006, Kaneko and Koike defined extremal quasimodular forms and proved their existence in depth $1$ and $2$. After normalizing and restricting to the case of depth at most $4$, they conjectured a certain bound on the Fourier coefficients…

A higher extremal K\"ahler metric is defined (motivated by analogy with the definition of an extremal K\"ahler metric) as one whose top Chern form equals a smooth function multiplied by its volume form such that the gradient of the function…

We present a unified description of extremal metrics for the Laplace and Steklov eigenvalues on manifolds of arbitrary dimension using the notion of $n$-harmonic maps. Our approach extends the well-known results linking extremal metrics for…
