We study the validity of the comparison and maximum principles, and their relation with principal eigenvalues, for a class of degenerate nonlinear operators that are extremal among operators with one dimensional fractional diffusion.

We prove a strong maximum principle for minimizers of the one-phase Alt-Caffarelli functional. We use this to construct a Hardt-Simon-type foliation associated to any 1-homogenous global minimizer.

Maximum Principles on unbounded domains play a crucial r\^ole in several problems related to linear second-order PDEs of elliptic and parabolic type. In this paper we consider a class of sub-elliptic operators $\mathcal{L}$ in…

We consider a L\'evy process that starts from $x<0$ and conditioned on having a positive maximum. When Cram\'er's condition holds, we provide two weak limit theorems as $x\to -\infty$ for the law of the (two-sided) path shifted at the first…

In the context of kernel optimization, we prove a result that yields new factorizations and realizations. Our initial context is that of general positive operator-valued kernels. We further present implications for Hilbert space-valued…

We look at Toeplitz operators $T_\nu$ on the Fock Space (also known as the Segal-Bargmann space) which have a positive Borel measure $\nu$ as a symbol. We characterize when $\left(T_\nu\right)^s$ for $0<s\leq 1$ is in the symmetrically…

We generalize the Omori-Yau almost maximum principle of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ to a second-order linear semi-elliptic operator $L$ with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term. Using this…

We extend the recent results concerning boundedness of the maximal regularity operator on tent spaces. This leads us to develop a singular integral operator theory on tent spaces. Such operators have operator-valued kernels. A seemingly…

Operator learning has been highly successful for continuous mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces, such as PDE solution operators. However, many operators of interest-including differential operators-are discontinuous or set-valued,…
