Variational inequalities are a universal optimization paradigm that is interesting in itself, but also incorporates classical minimization and saddle point problems. Modern realities encourage to consider stochastic formulations of…
We are concerned with the optimal constants: in the Korn inequality under tangential boundary conditions on bounded sets $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and in the geometric rigidity estimate on the whole $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the…
We study the behavior of the smallest possible constants $d(a,b)$ and $d_n$ in Hardy inequalities $$ \int_a^b\left(\frac{1}{x}\int_a^xf(t)dt\right)^p\,dx\leq d(a,b)\,\int_a^b [f(x)]^p dx $$ and $$…
Concentration inequalities, a major tool in probability theory, quantify how much a random variable deviates from a certain quantity. This paper proposes a systematic convex optimization approach to studying and generating concentration…
We consider the stability of the two branches of non-extremal enhancon solutions. We argue that one would expect a transition between the two branches at some value of the non-extremality, which should manifest itself in some instability.…
We use the inverse scattering transform and a diffusion approximation limit theorem to study the stability of soliton components of the solution of the nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger and Korteweg-de Vries equations under random perturbations of…
In this paper, we give precise rates of convergence in the strong invariance principle for stationary sequences of bounded real-valued random variables satisfying weak dependence conditions. One of the main ingredients is a new Fuk-Nagaev…
This paper focuses on optimal constants and optimizers of the second order Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequalities. Firstly, we aim to study optimal constants and optimizers for the following second order Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality…
We introduce a family of proximal discontinuous Galerkin methods for variational inequalities, focusing on the obstacle problem as a didactic example. Each member of this family is born from applying a different well-known nonconforming…
We derive connections between optimal domain specific constants figuring in the Friedrichs-Velte inequality for conjugate harmonic functions, in the Babu\v{s}ka-Aziz inequality for the divergence and in the improved Poincar\'e inequality…
Consider the optimal stopping problem of a one-dimensional diffusion with positive discount. Based on Dynkin's characterization of the value as the minimal excessive majorant of the reward and considering its Riesz representation, we give…
We investigate the periodic and stationary solutions of distribution-dependent stochastic differential equations. While generally, the semigroups associated with the equations are nonlinear, we show that the methods of weak convergence and…
We study the well-posedness for initial boundary value problems associated with time fractional diffusion equations with non-homogenous boundary and initial values. We consider both weak and strong solutions for the problems. For weak…
We study the incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the upper-half plane with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and non-zero external forcing terms. Existence of weak solutions is proved under a suitable condition on…
Viewing a two time scale stochastic approximation scheme as a noisy discretization of a singularly perturbed differential equation, we obtain a concentration bound for its iterates that captures its behavior with quantifiable high…
Solving equilibrium problems under constraints is an important problem in optimization and optimal control. In this context an important practical challenge is the efficient incorporation of constraints. We develop a continuous-time method…
We show that a recent interpolative new proof of the Bohnenblust--Hille inequality, when suitably handled, recovers its best known constants. This seems to be unexpectedly surprising since the known interpolative approaches only provide…
We give a survey of classical and recent results on sharp constants and symmetry/asymmetry of extremal functions in $1$-dimensional functional inequalities.
Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…
This paper is devoted to the study of $L_p$ Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear systems of equations with Neumann boundary conditions and for any constant $p \geq 1$. We consider ordinary and elliptic problems. The results obtained in the…
