This paper establishes a bivariate Hardy-Sobolev inequality. Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ ($N \geq 3$) be an open domain, $s \in (0,2)$, $\alpha > 1$, $\beta > 1$ with $\alpha + \beta = 2^*(s)$, and $\kappa \in \mathbb{R}$. For any…

Let $p(z)$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$, with complex coefficients, and let $q(z)$ be its monic factor. We prove an asymptotically sharp inequality of the form $\|q\|_{E} \le C^n \|p\|_E$, where $\|\cdot\|_E$ denotes the sup norm on…

Wang and Ye conjectured in [22]: Let $\Omega$ be a regular, bounded and convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. There exists a finite constant $C({\Omega})>0$ such that \[ \int_{\Omega}e^{\frac{4\pi u^{2}}{H_{d}(u)}}dxdy\le C(\Omega),\;\;\forall…

We obtain some sharp estimates for the $p$-torsion of convex planar domains in terms of their area, perimeter, and inradius. The approach we adopt relies on the use of web functions (i.e. functions depending only on the distance from the…

We give the full solution of the following problem: obtain sharp inequalities between the moduli of smoothness $\omega_\alpha(f,t)_q$ and $\omega_\beta(f,t)_p$ for $0<p<q\le \infty$. A similar problem for the generalized $K$-functionals and…

We use Lyapunov-like functions and convex optimization to propagate uncertainty in the initial condition of nonlinear systems governed by ordinary differential equations. We consider the full nonlinear dynamics without approximation,…

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…

We study a minimizing problem associated with the singular problem \[ \left\{ \begin{array} [c]{ll} -\operatorname{div}\left( \left\vert \nabla u\right\vert ^{p-2}\nabla u\right) =\lambda u^{-1} & \mathrm{in\ }\Omega\\ u>0 & \mathrm{in\…

We estimate the density and its derivatives using a local polynomial approximation to the logarithm of an unknown density $f$. The estimator is guaranteed to be nonnegative and achieves the same optimal rate of convergence in the interior…
