We provide an endpoint stability result for Scott-Zhang type operators in Besov spaces. For globally continuous piecewise polynomials these are bounded from $H^{3/2}$ into $B^{3/2}_{2,\infty}$; for elementwise polynomials these are bounded…

We propose a multi-level type operator that can be used in the framework of operator (or Cald\'{e}ron) preconditioning to construct uniform preconditioners for negative order operators discretized by piecewise polynomials on a family of…
The present paper is devoted to a theory of profile decomposition for bounded sequences in \emph{homogeneous} Sobolev spaces, and it enables us to analyze the lack of compactness of bounded sequences. For every bounded sequence in…
We consider fractional Sobolev spaces $H^\theta(\Gamma)$, $\theta \in [0,1]$, on a 2D surface $\Gamma$. We show that functions in $H^\theta(\Gamma)$ can be decomposed into contributions with local support in a stable way. Stability of the…
We obtain an improved Sobolev inequality in H^s spaces involving Morrey norms. This refinement yields a direct proof of the existence of optimizers and the compactness up to symmetry of optimizing sequences for the usual Sobolev embedding.…
In this paper, we examine a number of additive and multiplicative multilevel iterative methods and preconditioners in the setting of two-dimensional local mesh refinement. While standard multilevel methods are effective for uniform…
We consider optimization problems in the fractional order Sobolev spaces $H^s(\Omega)$, $s\in (0,1)$, with sparsity promoting objective functionals containing $L^p$-pseudonorms, $p\in (0,1)$. Existence of solutions is proven. By means of a…
We investigate a level-set type method for solving ill-posed problems, with the assumption that the solutions are piecewise, but not necessarily constant functions with unknown level sets and unknown level values. In order to get stable…
We design a quasi-interpolation operator from the Sobolev space $H^1_0(\Omega)$ to its finite-dimensional finite element subspace formed by piecewise polynomials on a simplicial mesh with a computable approximation constant. The operator 1)…
We derive a discrete $ L^q-L^p$ Sobolev inequality tailored for the Crouzeix--Raviart and discontinuous Crouzeix--Raviart finite element spaces on anisotropic meshes in both two and three dimensions. Subject to a semi-regular mesh…
Polynomial meshes (called sometimes "norming sets") allow us to estimate the supremum norm of polynomials on a fixed compact set by the norm on its discrete subset. We give a general construction of polynomial weakly admissible meshes on…
We conduct a condition number analysis of a Hybrid High-Order (HHO) scheme for the Poisson problem. We find the condition number of the statically condensed system to be independent of the number of faces in each element, or the relative…
In this work we introduce and analyze a new multiscale method for strongly nonlinear monotone equations in the spirit of the Localized Orthogonal Decomposition. A problem-adapted multiscale space is constructed by solving linear local…
The subject is parametrices for semi-linear problems, based on parametrices for linear boundary problems and on non-linearities that decompose into solution-dependent linear operators acting on the solutions. Non-linearities of product type…
The zero level set of a piecewise-affine function with respect to a consistent tetrahedral subdivision of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a piecewise-planar hyper-surface. We prove that if a family of consistent tetrahedral subdivions…
Uniform preconditioners for operators of negative order discretized by (dis)continuous piecewise polynomials of any order are constructed from a boundedly invertible operator of opposite order discretized by continuous piecewise linears.…
We establish fine bounds for best constants of the fractional subcritical Sobolev embeddings \begin{align*} W_{0}^{s,p}\left(\Omega\right)\hookrightarrow L^{q}\left(\Omega\right), \end{align*} where $N\geq1$, $0<s<1$, $p=1,2$, $1\leq…
Profile decompositions for "critical" Sobolev-type embeddings are established, allowing one to regain some compactness despite the non-compact nature of the embeddings. Such decompositions have wide applications to the regularity theory of…
We present quasi-diagonal preconditioners for piecewise polynomial discretizations of pseudodifferential operators of order minus two in any space dimension. Here, quasi-diagonal means diagonal up to a sparse transformation. Considering…
