We develop a higher regularity theory for general quasilinear elliptic equations and systems in divergence form with random coefficients. The main result is a large-scale $L^\infty$-type estimate for the gradient of a solution. The estimate…

We consider the long-term dynamics of the vanishing stepsize subgradient method in the case when the objective function is neither smooth nor convex. We assume that this function is locally Lipschitz and path differentiable, i.e., admits a…

In this paper we show how to use a Tug-of-War game to obtain existence of a viscosity solution to the infinity laplacian with non-homogeneous mixed boundary conditions. For a Lipschitz and positive function $g$ there exists a viscosity…

We establish Trudinger-type inequality in the context of fractional boundary Hardy-type inequality for the case $sp=d$, where $p>1, ~ s \in (0,1)$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$. In particular, we establish…

We study subgradient sequences of locally Lipschitz functions definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. We show that the diameter of any subgradient sequence is related to the variation in function values, with error terms…

Stability and robustness are critical for deploying Transformers in safety-sensitive settings. A principled way to enforce such behavior is to constrain the model's Lipschitz constant. However, approximation-theoretic guarantees for…

We study a version of the stochastic "tug-of-war" game, played on graphs and smooth domains, with the empty set of terminal states. We prove that, when the running payoff function is shifted by an appropriate constant, the values of the…

Let u, v be two harmonic functions in the disk of radius two which have exactly the same set Z of zeros. We observe that the gradient of \log |u/v| is bounded in the unit disk by a constant which depends on Z only. In case Z is empty this…
