In this note, we study an optimal transportation problem arising in density functional theory. We derive an upper bound on the semi-classical Hohenberg-Kohn functional derived by Cotar, Friesecke and Kl\"{u}ppelberg (2012) which can be…
We investigate the relation between two different mathematical problems: the construction of bounds on sphere packing density using Cohn-Elkies functions and the construction of Gabor frames for signal analysis. In particular, we present a…
Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spheres in three dimensions in order to achieve the highest…
Let $L$ be a homogeneous divergence form higher order elliptic operator with complex bounded measurable coefficients on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $X$ a ball quasi-Banach function space on $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying some mild assumptions. Denote by…
We consider the averages of a function $ f$ on $ \mathbb R ^{n}$ over spheres of radius $ 0< r< \infty $ given by $ A_{r} f (x) = \int_{\mathbb S ^{n-1}} f (x-r y) \; d \sigma (y)$, where $ \sigma $ is the normalized rotation invariant…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior, as $N$ grows, of the largest minimal pairwise distance of $N$ points restricted to an arbitrary compact rectifiable set embedded in Euclidean space, and we find the limit distribution of such optimal…
This paper constructs unique compactly supported functions in Sobolev spaces that have minimal norm, maximal support, and maximal central value, under certain renormalizations. They may serve as optimized basis functions in interpolation or…
We investigate choice principles in the Weihrauch lattice for finite sets on the one hand, and convex sets on the other hand. Increasing cardinality and increasing dimension both correspond to increasing Weihrauch degrees. Moreover, we…
Let $E$ be a closed subset of the unit circle of measure zero. Recently, Beise and M\"uller showed the existence of a function in the Hardy space $H^2$ for which the partial sums of its Taylor series approximate any continuous function on…
Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ whose heat kernels have the Gaussian upper bound estimates. Assume that the growth function $\varphi:\,\mathbb{R}^n\times[0,\infty) \to[0,\infty)$ satisfies that…
$D$-optimal designs originate in statistics literature as an approach for optimal experimental designs. In numerical analysis points and weights resulting from maximal determinants turned out to be useful for quadrature and interpolation.…
Several new inequalities for moduli of smoothness and errors of the best approximation of a function and its derivatives in the spaces $L_p$, $0<p<1$, are obtained. For example, it is shown that for any $0<p<1$ and $k,\,r\in \mathbb{N}$ one…
A natural and important generalization of submodularity -- $k$-submodularity -- applies to set functions with $k$ arguments and appears in a broad range of applications, such as infrastructure design, machine learning, and healthcare. In…
The problem of maximizing non-negative submodular functions has been studied extensively in the last few years. However, most papers consider submodular set functions. Recently, several advances have been made for the more general case of…
The Cohn-Elkies linear programming (LP) bound for sphere packing is known to be sharp in dimensions 8 and 24 but in no other dimension above 2. We investigate why by examining three independent necessary conditions for LP sharpness, drawn…
We explore connections between the phenomenon of correlation decay and the location of Lee-Yang and Fisher zeros for various spin systems. In particular we show that, in many instances, proofs showing that weak spatial mixing on the Bethe…

How can we arrange $n$ lines through the origin in three-dimensional Euclidean space in a way that maximizes the minimum interior angle between pairs of lines? Conway, Hardin and Sloane (1996) produced line packings for $n \leq 55$ that…
In this paper, we use the Approximation Formula for the Fourier transform of the solution set of lattice points on k-spheres and methods of Bourgain and Ionescu to refine the l^p(Z^d)-boundedness results for discrete k- spherical maximal…
The following problem originated from a question due to Paul Turan. Suppose $\Omega$ is a convex body in Euclidean space $\RR^d$ or in $\TT^d$, which is symmetric about the origin. Over all positive definite functions supported in $\Omega$,…
