We consider the sharp interface limit of a convective Allen-Cahn equation, which can be part of a Navier-Stokes/Allen-Cahn system, for different scalings of the mobility $m_\varepsilon=m_0\varepsilon^\theta$ as $\varepsilon\to 0$. In the…
Under general assumptions on the velocity field, it is possible to construct a flow that is forward untangled. Once such a flow has been selected, the associated transport problem is well-posed.
We propose two new alternating direction methods to solve "fully" nonsmooth constrained convex problems. Our algorithms have the best known worst-case iteration-complexity guarantee under mild assumptions for both the objective residual and…
Optimization models with non-convex constraints arise in many tasks in machine learning, e.g., learning with fairness constraints or Neyman-Pearson classification with non-convex loss. Although many efficient methods have been developed…
We consider the problem of maximizing the revenue raised from tolls set on the arcs of a transportation network, under the constraint that users are assigned to toll-compatible shortest paths. We first prove that this problem is strongly…
The purpose of this paper is to study the approximation of vector valued mappings defined on a subset of a normed space. We investigate Korovkin-type conditions under which a given sequence of linear operators becomes a so-called…
It is well known that the quadratic-cost optimal transportation problem is formally equivalent to the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation. Viscosity solutions are a powerful tool for analysing and approximating…
We consider weak optimal problems (possibly entropically penalized) incorporating both soft and hard (including the case of the martingale condition) moment constraints. Even in the special case of the martingale optimal transport problem,…

We study a general smallest intersecting ball problem and its soft-margin variant in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces for input objects that are compact and convex. These two problems link and unify a series of fundamental problems in…

We are concerned with the problem of global well-posedness of the 3D Navier--Stokes equations on the torus with unitary viscosity. While a full answer to this question seems to be out of reach of the current techniques, we establish a…
In this article we establish the existence of weak solutions to the shallow medium equation. We proceed by an approximation argument. First we truncate the coefficients of the equation from above and below. Then we prove convergence of the…
Generative Adversarial Networks have been shown to be powerful in generating content. To this end, they have been studied intensively in the last few years. Nonetheless, training these networks requires solving a saddle point problem that…
Approximations of optimization problems arise in computational procedures and sensitivity analysis. The resulting effect on solutions can be significant, with even small approximations of components of a problem translating into large…
The article is devoted to some adaptive methods for variational inequalities with relatively smooth and relatively strongly monotone operators. Starting from the recently proposed proximal variant of the extragradient method for this class…
In this paper, we provide a new scheme for approximating the weakly efficient solution set for a class of vector optimization problems with rational objectives over a feasible set defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. More…
The well-posedness of a phase-field approximation to the Willmore flow with area and volume constraints is established when the functional approximating the area has no critical point satisfying the two constraints. The existence proof…
This article is concerned with the analysis of the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations with a singular pressure law, the so-called hard sphere equation of state. The result is twofold. First, we establish the existence of bounded…
