Suppose that $1<p\leq\infty$ and $\varphi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{B}^{n},\mathbb{R}^{n}).$ In this note, we use H\"{o}lder inequality and some basic properties of hypergeometric functions to establish the sharp constant $C_{p}$ and function…

In this paper, we present a linear-time approximation scheme for $k$-means clustering of \emph{incomplete} data points in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. An \emph{incomplete} data point with $\Delta>0$ unspecified entries is represented as…

We investigate the numerical approximation of an elliptic optimal control problem which involves a nonconvex local regularization of the $L^q$-quasinorm penalization (with $q\in(0,1)$) in the cost function. Our approach is based on the…

The named space denoted by $V_{pq}^k$ consists of $L_q$ functions on $[0,1)^d$ of bounded $p$-variation of order $k\in\mathbb N$. It generalizes the classical spaces $V_p(0,1)$ ($=V_{p\infty}^1$) and $BV([0,1)^d)$ ($V_{1q}^1$ where…
