We consider the minimization problem for an integral functional $J$, possibly non-convex and non-coercive in $W^{1,1}_0(\Omega)$, where $\Omega\subset\R^n$ is a bounded smooth set. We prove sufficient conditions in order to guarantee that a…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring and $I$ an ideal in $A$. We characterize algebraically when all the minimal primes of the associated graded ring $G_I A$ contract to minimal primes of $A/I$. This, applied to intersection theory,…

We propose a path transformation which applied to a cyclically exchangeable increment process conditions its minimum to belong to a given interval. This path transformation is then applied to processes with start and end at zero. It is seen…

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a principal shift invariant space of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ to be invariant under translations by the subgroup $\frac{1}{N} \mathbb{Z}, N>1$. This condition is given in terms of the Zak transform…

We show that for every topological dynamical system with the approximate product property, zero topological entropy is equivalent to unique ergodicity. Equivalence of minimality is also proved under a slightly stronger condition. Moreover,…

Boshernitzan found a decay condition on the measure of cylinder sets that implies unique ergodicity for minimal subshifts. Interest in the properties of subshifts satisfying this condition has grown recently, due to a connection with the…

We develop an elementary method to give a Lipschitz estimate for the minimizers in the problem of Herglotz' variational principle proposed in \cite{CCWY2018} in the time-dependent case. We deduce Erdmann's condition and the Euler-Lagrange…

We consider a random wave model introduced by Zelditch to study the behavior of typical quasi-modes on a Riemannian manifold. Using the exponential moment method, we show that random waves satisfy the quantum unique ergodicity property with…

It is known that the unique ergodicity of the viscous primitive equations with additive white-in-time noise remains an open problem. In this work, we demonstrate that, as the rotational intensity approaches infinity, the distribution of any…

We develop a general framework for studying ergodicity of order-preserving Markov semigroups. We establish natural and in a certain sense optimal conditions for existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure and exponential convergence…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity results of collections of sequences with respect to systems of commuting measure preserving transformations. Combining these results with a new technique that we call…

We prove that the skew product over a linearly recurrent interval exchange transformation defined by almost any real-valued, mean-zero linear combination of characteristic functions of intervals is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure.

We obtain conditions for the differentiability of weak solutions for a second-order uniformly elliptic equation in divergence form with a homogeneous co-normal boundary condition. The modulus of continuity for the coefficients is assumed to…

We consider the equation $- \e^2 \D u + u= u^p$ in $\Omega \subseteq \R^N$, where $\Omega$ is open, smooth and bounded, and we prove concentration of solutions along $k$-dimensional minimal submanifolds of $\partial \O$, for $N \geq 3$ and…

Motivated by its connection to the limit behaviour of imprecise Markov chains, we introduce and study the so-called convergence of upper transition operators: the condition that for any function, the orbit resulting from iterated…

We strengthen the connections between electrical transformations and homotopy from the planar setting---observed and studied since Steinitz---to arbitrary surfaces with punctures. As a result, we improve our earlier lower bound on the…
