We survey recent advances in the theory of graph and hypergraph decompositions, with a focus on extremal results involving minimum degree conditions. We also collect a number of intriguing open problems, and formulate new ones.
In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding minimal graphs in $M^n\times\mathbb R$ with general boundary conditions using a variational approach. We look at so called generalized solutions of the Dirichlet Problem that minimize a…
In classical potential theory, one can solve the Dirichlet problem on unbounded domains such as the upper half plane. These domains have two types of boundary points; the usual finite boundary points and another point at infinity. W. Woess…

Deciding whether saddle points exist or are approximable for nonconvex-nonconcave problems is usually intractable. This paper takes a step towards understanding a broad class of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems that do remain…
This paper gives, in generic situations, a complete classification of ruled minimal surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean space with arbitrary index. In addition, we discuss the condition for ruled minimal surfaces to exist, and give a…
