In this paper, we define a new type of nonsmooth convex function, called {\em first-order SDSOS-convex semi-algebraic function}, which is an extension of the previously proposed first-order SDSOS-convex polynomials (Chuong et al. in J…
In this work we provide detailed estimates of maximal principal angles between subspaces and we analyze their smoothness for smoothly varying subspaces. This leads to a new definition of angular values for linear dynamical systems in…
In the present paper we shall improve one dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities with one-sided boundary condition by adding sharp remainders. As an application, we shall establish n dimensional weighted Hardy inequalities in a bounded…
We study the smoothness of the stationary measure with respect to smooth perturbations of the iterated function scheme and the weight functions that define it. Our main theorems relate the smoothness of the perturbation of: the iterated…
The volume function V(t) of a compact set S\in R^d is just the Lebesgue measure of the set of points within a distance to S not larger than t. According to some classical results in geometric measure theory, the volume function turns out to…
We consider Kolmogorov widths of finite sets of functions. Any orthonormal system of $N$ functions is rigid in $L_2$, i.e. it cannot be well approximated by linear subspaces of dimension essentially smaller than $N$. This is not true for…
Non-smoothness at optimal points is a common phenomenon in many eigenvalue optimization problems. We consider two recent algorithms to minimize the largest eigenvalue of a Hermitian matrix dependent on one parameter, both proven to be…
We study Hardy inequalities for antisymmetric functions in three different settings: euclidean space, torus and the integer lattice. In particular, we show that under the antisymmetric condition the sharp constant in Hardy inequality…
We prove a sharp quantitative version for the stability of the Sobolev inequality with explicit constants. Moreover, the constants have the correct behavior in the limit of large dimensions, which allows us to deduce an optimal quantitative…
We propose a new algorithm that finds an $\varepsilon$-approximate fixed point of a smooth function from the $n$-dimensional $\ell_2$ unit ball to itself. We use the general framework of finding approximate solutions to a variational…
This is a note on the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane with no intersection and the natural map onto the region surrounded by them with the canonical projection to the line composed, yielding its Reeb space. The Reeb…
We characterize the entire functions $P$ of $d$ variables, $d\ge 2,$ for which the $\mzd$-translates of $P\chi_{[0,N]^d}$ satisfy the partition of unity for some $N\in \mn.$ In contrast to the one-dimensional case, these entire functions…
The approximation properties of the finite element method can often be substantially improved by choosing smooth high-order basis functions. It is extremely difficult to devise such basis functions for partitions consisting of arbitrarily…
For $\nu\in[0,1]$ and a complex parameter $\sigma,$ $Re\, \sigma>0,$ we discuss a linear inhomogeneous functional difference equation with variable coefficients on a complex plane $z\in\mathbb{C}$: \[…
It is well known that the Riemann zeta function, as well as several other $L$-functions, is universal in the strip $1/2<\sigma<1$; this is certainly not true for $\sigma>1$. Answering a question of Bombieri and Ghosh, we give a simple…
The Flatness theorem states that the maximum lattice width ${\rm Flt}(d)$ of a $d$-dimensional lattice-free convex set is finite. It is the key ingredient for Lenstra's algorithm for integer programming in fixed dimension, and much work has…
This paper continues our work [19] on sharp Alexandrov estimates. We obtain a sharp global uniform distance estimate from a convex function to the class of unimodular convex quadratic polynomials in terms of the total variation of its…
Let $(M,g)$ be a closed connected oriented (possibly non-spin) smooth four-dimensional manifold with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. In this paper, we prove that if $f$ is a smooth map of non-zero degree from $(M, g)$ to the…
We show that differentiable functions, defined on a convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb R^d$, whose derivatives do not exceed a suitable given sequence of positive real numbers share many properties with polynomials. The role of the degree of…
The aim of this paper is to study distributional properties of integers without large or small prime factors. Define an integer to be $[y',y]$-smooth if all of its prime factors belong to the interval $[y',y]$. We identify suitable weights…
