It is known that for a variety of choices of metrics, including the standard bottleneck distance, the space of persistence diagrams admits geodesics. Typically these existence results produce geodesics that have the form of a convex…

The present paper is concerned with Lipschitz properties of convex mappings. One considers the general context of mappings defined on an open convex subset $\Omega$ of a locally convex space $X$ and taking values in a locally convex space…

We use ending laminations for Weil-Petersson geodesics to establish that bounded geometry is equivalent to bounded combinatorics for Weil-Petersson geodesic segments, rays, and lines. Further, a more general notion of non-annular bounded…

We consider a Caratheodory differential equation with a state-dependent convex constraint that changes BV-continuously in time (a perturbed BV-continuous state-dependent sweeping processes). By setting up an appropriate catching-up…

Given a convex region in the plane, and a sweep-line as a tool, what is best way to reduce the region to a single point by a sequence of sweeps? The problem of sweeping points by orthogonal sweeps was first studied in [2]. Here we consider…

In this paper we extend the classical sub-supersolution Sattinger iteration method to $1$-Laplace type boundary value problems of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \displaystyle -\Delta_1 u = F(x,u) & \text{in}\;\Omega,\\ \newline…

We propose a simple method of explicit description of families of closed geodesics on a triaxial ellipsoid $Q$ that are cut out by algebraic surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. Such geodesics are either connected components of spatial elliptic…

Some properties of solutions of convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints are studied in this paper. Namely, the solution sensitivity with respect to the initial value, the boundedness, the closedness, and the convexity of the…

In this paper, we deal with sweeping processes on (possibly infinite-dimensional) Riemannian Hilbert manifolds. We extend the useful notions (proximal normal cone, prox-regularity) already defined in the setting of a Hilbert space to the…

This paper develops a general theory for first-order descent methods whose search directions are restricted to a prescribed dictionary in a reflexive Banach space. Instead of assuming that the linear span of the dictionary is dense, as in…

We consider geodesics in both Riemannian and Lorentzian manifolds with metrics of low regularity. We discuss existence of extremal curves for continuous metrics and present several old and new examples that highlight their subtle…
