We consider optimal control problems, where the control appears in the main part of the operator. We derive the Pontryagin maximum principle as a necessary optimality condition. The proof uses the concept of topological derivatives. In…

We consider the problem of maximizing a monotone nondecreasing set function under multiple constraints, where the constraints are also characterized by monotone nondecreasing set functions. We propose two greedy algorithms to solve the…

For a class of piecewise hyperbolic maps in two dimensions, we propose a combinatorial definition of topological entropy by counting the maximal, open, connected components of the phase space on which iterates of the map are smooth. We…

We show that in the semi-classical limit the eigenfunctions of quantized ergodic symplectic toral automorphisms can not concentrate in measure on a finite number of closed orbits of the dynamics. More generally, we show that, if the pure…

We investigate the maximal open domain $\mathscr{E}(M)$ on which the orthogonal projection map $p$ onto a subset $M\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ can be defined and study essential properties of $p$. We prove that if $M$ is a $C^1$ submanifold of…

We give sufficient conditions for intervals $(a,b)$ such that the associated open dynamical system for the doubling map is intrinsically ergodic. We also show that the set of parameters $(a,b) \in (\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}) \times…

Given a dynamical system, we say that a performance function has property P if its time averages along orbits are maximized at a periodic orbit. It is conjectured by several authors that for sufficiently hyperbolic dynamical systems,…

For a given set of dilations $E\subset [1,2]$, Lebesgue space mapping properties of the spherical maximal operator with dilations restricted to $E$ are studied when acting on radial functions. In higher dimensions, the type set only depends…

We study maximal averages associated with singular measures on $\rr$. Our main result is a construction of singular Cantor-type measures supported on sets of Hausdorff dimension $1 - \epsilon$, $0 \leq \epsilon < {1/3}$ for which the…

We prove a finite smooth version of the entropic continuity of Lyapunov exponents of Buzzi-Crovisier-Sarig for $C^\infty$ surface diffeomorphisms [9]. As a consequence we show that any $C^r$, $r > 1$, smooth surface diffeomorphism $f$ with…

We prove an algebraic extension theorem for the computably enumerable sets, $\mathcal{E}$. Using this extension theorem and other work we then show if $A$ and $\hat{A}$ are automorphic via $\Psi$ then they are automorphic via $\Lambda$…

In the paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for ergodicity (with respect to the normalized Haar measure) of discrete dynamical systems $<f;\mathbf S_{2^{-r}}(a)>$ on 2-adic spheres $\mathbf S_{2^{-r}}(a)$ of radius $2^{-r}$,…

Let $N$ be a closed spin manifold with positive scalar curvature and $D_N$ the Dirac operator on $N$. Let $M_1$ and $M_2$ be two Galois covers of $N$ such that $M_2$ is a quotient of $M_1$. Then the quotient map from $M_1$ to $M_2$…

Let $L:[0,1]\setminus\{d\}\rightarrow [0,1]$ be a one-dimensional Lorenz like expanding map ($d$ is the point of discontinuity), $\mathcal{P}=\{ (0,d),(d,1) \}$ be a partition of $[0,1]$ and $C^{\alpha}([0,1],\mathcal{P})$ the set of…

Although a number of solutions exist for the problems of coverage, search and target localization---commonly addressed separately---whether there exists a unified strategy that addresses these objectives in a coherent manner without being…

We test an optimised hopping parameter expansion on various Z_2 lattice scalar field models: the Ising model, a spin-one model and lambda (phi)^4. We do this by studying the critical indices for a variety of optimisation criteria, in a…

For r > 1, we show, using the Ledrappier-Young entropy characterization of SRB measures for non-invertible maps, that if a C^r map f of the interval or the circle has its Lyapunov exponent greater than 1/r log ||f ' || $\infty$ on a set E…

Let M be a compact manifold. We call a mapping f in C^r(M,M) an Artin-Mazur mapping if the number of isolated periodic points of f^n grows at most exponentially in n. Artin and Mazur posed the following problem: What can be said about the…

In proving large deviation estimates, the lower bound for open sets and upper bound for compact sets are essentially local estimates. On the other hand, the upper bound for closed sets is global and compactness of space or an exponential…

We show maximal $L^p$-regularity for non-autonomous Cauchy problems provided the trace spaces are stable in some parameterized sense and the time dependence is of bounded variation. In particular, on $L^2$, we obtain for all $p \in (1,2]$…
