We work in a class of Sobolev $W^{1,p}$ maps, with $p > d-1$, from a bounded open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ to $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ that do not exhibit cavitation and whose trace on $\partial \Omega$ is also $W^{1,p}$. Under the…

In this paper we consider the following nonlocal autonomous evolution equation in a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ \[ \partial_t u(x,t) =- h(x)u(x,t) + g \Big(\int_{\Omega} J(x,y)u(y,t)dy \Big) +f(x,u(x,t)) \] where $h\in…

We study a family of approximations to Euler's equation depending on two parameters $\varepsilon,\eta \ge 0$. When $\varepsilon=\eta=0$ we have Euler's equation and when both are positive we have instances of the class of…

Consider a sequence of linear contractions $S_{j}(x)=\varrho x+d_{j}$ and probabilities $p_{j}>0$ with $\sum p_{j}=1$. We are interested in the self-similar measure $\mu =\sum p_{j}\mu \circ S_{j}^{-1}$, of finite type. In this paper we…

We establish new upper and lower bounds on the number of queries required to test convexity of functions over various discrete domains. 1. We provide a simplified version of the non-adaptive convexity tester on the line. We re-prove the…

The first goal of this paper is to study necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain the attainability of the \textit{fractional Hardy inequality } $$\Lambda_{N}\equiv\Lambda_{N}(\Omega):=\inf_{\{\phi\in \mathbb{E}^s(\Omega, D), \phi\neq…
