We prove that planar homeomorphisms can be approximated by diffeomorphisms in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$ and in the Royden algebra. As an application, we show that every discrete and open planar mapping with a holomorphic Hopf differential…

The Jacobian conjecture involves the map $y= x - V(x)$ where $y, x$ are n-dimensional vectors, $V(x)$ is a symmetric polynomial of degree $d$ for which the Jacobian hypothesis holds: $ e^{Tr \ln(1- V'(x))} =1,\ \forall x$. The conjecture…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

Let $(M,d)$ be a separable and complete geodesic space with curvature lower bounded, by $\kappa\in \mathbb R$, in the sense of Alexandrov. Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on $M$, such that $\mu\in\mathcal P_2(M)$, and that has at…

In Musilak-Orlicz type spaces ${\mathcal S}_{\bf M}$, direct and inverse approximation theorems are obtained in terms of the best approximations of functions and generalized moduli of smoothness. The question of the exact constants in…

A Minkowski symmetral of an $\alpha$-concave function is introduced, and some of its fundamental properties are derived. It is shown that for a given $\alpha$-concave function, there exists a sequence of Minkowski symmetrizations that…

We introduce and investigate a novel notion of transversely affine foliation, comparing and contrasting it to the previous ones in the literature. We then use it to give an extension of the classic Hadamard's theorem from Riemannian…

In this paper we proved that the sequence generated by the proximal point method, associated to a unconstrained optimization problem in the Riemannian context, has finite termination when the objective function has a weak sharp minima on…

We investigate two systematic constructions of inverse-closed subalgebras of a given Banach algebra or operator algebra A, both of which are inspired by classical principles of approximation theory. The first construction requires a closed…

We relate $L^p$ convergence of metric tensors or volume convergence to a given smooth metric to Intrinsic Flat and Gromov-Hausdorff convergence for sequences of Riemannian manifolds. We present many examples of sequences of conformal…

In this paper we have generalized the notion of $\lambda$-radial contraction in complete Riemannian manifold and developed the concept of $p^\lambda$-convex function. We have also given a counter example proving the fact that in general…

We elaborate a new method for constructing traces of quadratic forms in the framework of Hilbert and Dirichlet spaces. Our method relies on monotone convergence of quadratic forms and the canonical decomposition into regular and singular…

For $\alpha > -1$ and $\beta >0, $ let $\mathcal{B}_{\mathcal{H}}^0(\alpha, \beta)$ denote the class of sense preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying $|zh''(z)+\alpha(h'(z)-1)|\leq…

We describe an approach to the circulant Hadamard conjecture based on Walsh-Fourier analysis. We show that the existence of a circulant Hadamard matrix of order $n$ is equivalent to the existence of a non-trivial solution of a certain…

We construct harmonic diffeomorphisms from the complex plane $C$ onto any Hadamard surface $M$ whose curvature is bounded above by a negative constant. For that, we prove a Jenkins-Serrin type theorem for minimal graphs in $M\times R$ over…

We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…

Let $ f_0 $ and $ f_\infty $ be formal power series at the origin and infinity, and $ P_n/Q_n $, with $ \mathrm{deg}(P_n),\mathrm{deg}(Q_n)\leq n $, be a rational function that simultaneously interpolates $ f_0 $ at the origin with order $…

Let $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be open and convex. We show that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. In doing so we…

We show that $C(X)$ admits an equivalent pointwise lower semicontinuous locally uniformly rotund norm provided $X$ is Fedorchuk compact of spectral height 3. In other words $X$ admits a fully closed map $f$ onto a metric compact $Y$ such…

We study the distance in the Zygmund class $\Lambda_{\ast}$ to the subspace $\operatorname{I}(\operatorname{BMO})$ of functions with distributional derivative with bounded mean oscillation. In particular, we describe the closure of…
