Partition functions arise in statistical physics and probability theory as the normalizing constant of Gibbs measures and in combinatorics and graph theory as graph polynomials. For instance the partition functions of the hard-core model…

For each integrability parameter $p \in (0,\infty]$, the critical smoothness of a periodic generalized function $f$, denoted by $s_f(p)$ is the supremum over the smoothness parameters $s$ for which $f$ belongs to the Besov space $B_{p,p}^s$…

We study the problem of minimizing a relatively-smooth convex function using stochastic Bregman gradient methods. We first prove the convergence of Bregman Stochastic Gradient Descent (BSGD) to a region that depends on the noise (magnitude…

The approximation of smooth functions with a spectral basis typically leads to rapidly decaying coefficients where the rate of decay depends on the smoothness of the function and vice-versa. The optimal number of degrees of freedom in the…

For curves singularities the dimension of smoothing components in the deformation space is an invariant of the singularity, but in general the deformation space has components of different dimensions. We are interested in the question what…

We study the spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type with variable smoothness and integrability as introduced recently by Almeida & H\"ast\"o and Diening, H\"ast\"o & Roudenko. Both scales cover many classical spaces with fixed exponents…

Let $(\Sigma, g_1)$ be a compact Riemann surface with conical singularites of angles in $(0, 2\pi)$, and $f: \Sigma\to\mathbb R$ be a positive smooth function. In this paper, by establishing a sharp quantization result, we prove the…

Consider a class of functions of one real variable with the following uniqueness property: if a function f(x) from the class vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a…

Sharp Moser-Trudinger type inequalities and their extremal functions play an important role in studying nonlinear PDEs and geometry. We establish a new sharp Moser-Trudinger type inequality in the upper half space in two dimensions and…

This is a survey on best polynomial approximation on the unit sphere and the unit ball. The central problem is to describe the approximation behavior of a function by polynomials via smoothness of the function. A major effort is to identify…

Previously, we have investigated a natural smooth map onto the region surrounded by the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane converging to a same value or diverges to $+\infty$ or $-\infty$ simultaneously, at each…

Following a survey of the abstract boundary definition of Scott and Szekeres, a rigidity result is proved for the smooth case, showing that the topological structure of the regular part of this boundary in invariantly defined.

For a big class of smooth dagger spaces --- dagger spaces are 'rigid spaces with overconvergent structure sheaf' --- we prove finite dimensionality of de Rham cohomology. This is enough to obtain finiteness of Berthelot's rigid cohomology…

We study a variant of Newton's algorithm applied to under-determined systems of non-smooth equations. The notion of regularity employed in our work is based on Newton differentiability, which generalizes semi-smoothness. The classic notion…
