For a given $p\in[2,+\infty)$, we define the $p$-elastic energy $\mathscr{E}$ of a closed curve $\gamma:\mathbb{S}^1\to M$ immersed in a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ as the sum of the length of the curve and the $L^p$--norm of its…

We prove non-asymptotic error bounds for particle gradient descent (PGD, Kuntz et al., 2023), a recently introduced algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of large latent variable models obtained by discretizing a gradient flow of the…

We address surface gradient flows which allow for energy dissipation by evolving the surface and a scalar quantity on it, simultaneously. A proper choice of the time derivative and the gauge of surface independence guarantees energy…

We define functionals generalising the Seiberg-Witten functional on closed $spin^c$ manifolds, involving higher order derivatives of the curvature form and spinor field. We then consider their associated gradient flows and, using a gauge…

We give a sharp characterization of how additional integrability in the interior improves the integrability of boundary traces of $\mathrm{W}^{1,p}$-Sobolev functions. The optimality of our results relies on a novel nonlinear extension or…

We establish the unique solvability in weighted mixed-norm Sobolev spaces for a class of degenerate parabolic and elliptic equations in the upper half space. The operators are in nondivergence form, with the leading coefficients given by…

Let M denote the maximal function along the polynomial curve p(t)=(t,t^2,...,t^d) in R^d: M(f)=sup_{r>0} (1/2r) \int_{|t|<r} |f(x-p(t))| dt. We show that the L^2-norm of this operator grows at most logarithmically with the parameter d:…

We prove a comparison theorem for super- and sub-solutions with non-vanishing gradients to semilinear PDEs provided a nonlinearity $f$ is $L^p$ function with $p > 1$. The proof is based on a strong maximum principle for solutions of…

In this paper, we define a family of functionals generalizing the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional on a closed Riemannian manifold. Then we prove the short time existence of the corresponding gradient flow by a gauge fixing technique. The lack…

We investigate the $L^p$ mapping properties of maximal functions associated with analytic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb R^d$, with a particular emphasis on the role of transversality. Around points that are not transversal, we show that the…

We generalise the theory of energy functionals used in the study of gradient systems to the case where the domain of definition of the functional cannot be embedded into the Hilbert space $H$ on which the associated operator acts, such as…

We prove the continuity of Sobolev functions $\varphi \in W^{1,n}_{\mathrm{loc}}(\Omega)$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, that satisfy \[ \lvert\nabla \varphi(x)\rvert^n \le K(x)\bigl(\langle \nabla \varphi(x), \xi(x)\rangle + A(x)\bigr),…

In this note we announce that under general hypotheses, wavelet-type expansions (of functions in $L^p,\ 1\leq p \leq \infty$, in one or more dimensions) converge pointwise almost everywhere, and identify the Lebesgue set of a function as a…

We derive global gradient estimates for $W^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$-weak solutions to quasilinear elliptic equations of the form $$ \mathrm{div\,}\mathbf{a}(x,u,Du)=\mathrm{div\,}(|F|^{p-2}F) $$ over $n$-dimensional Reifenberg flat domains. The…

We prove that for every $p > 1$ and for every potential $V \in L^p$, any nonnegative function satisfying $-\Delta u + V u \ge 0$ in an open connected set of $\mathbb{R}^N$ is either identically zero or its level set $\{u = 0\}$ has zero…
