We prove a weak version of the $\varepsilon$-Dvoretzky conjecture for normed spaces, showing the existence of a subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ of dimension at least $c \log n / |\log \varepsilon|$ in which the given norm is $\varepsilon$-close…

The thesis concentrates on two problems in discrete geometry, whose solutions are obtained by analytic, probabilistic and combinatoric tools. The first chapter deals with the strong polarization problem. This states that for any sequence…

We show that standard deviation $\s$ satisfies the Leibniz inequality $\s(fg) \leq \s(f)\|g\| + \|f\|\s(g)$ for bounded functions f, g on a probability space, where the norm is the supremum norm. A related inequality that we refer to as…

We prove a vertex-isoperimetric inequality for [n]^(r), the set of all r-element subsets of {1,2,...,n}, where x,y \in [n]^(r) are adjacent if |x \Delta y|=2. Namely, if \mathcal{A} \subset [n]^(r) with |\mathcal{A}|=\alpha {n \choose r},…

We show that there exists an integrable function on the $n$-sphere $(n\ge 2)$, whose Ces\`aro (C,$\frac{n-1}{2}$) means with respect to the spherical harmonic expansion diverge unboundedly almost everywhere. By studying equivalence…

Let $V$ be a symmetric convex body in $\R^m$. We prove sharp Bernstein-type inequalities for entire functions of exponential type with the spectrum in $V$ and discuss certain properties of the extremal functions. Markov-type inequalities…

The best constant and extremal functions are well known of the following Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality \[ \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|\nabla u|^p\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{|x|^{\mu}}\geq \mathcal{S}…

We introduce and study a strict monotonicity property of the norm in solid Banach lattices of real functions that prevents such spaces from having the local diameter two property. Then we show that any strictly convex 1-symmetric norm on…

We solve the problem of best approximation by partial isometries of given rank to an arbitrary rectangular matrix, when the distance is measured in any unitarily invariant norm. In the case where the norm is strictly convex, we parametrize…

Let $\lambda^{*}>0$ denote the largest possible value of $\lambda$ such that $$ \{{array}{lllllll} \Delta^{2}u=\lambda(1+u)^{p} & {in}\ \ \B, %0<u\leq 1 & {in}\ \ \B, u=\frac{\partial u}{\partial n} =0 & {on}\ \ \partial \B {array}. $$ has…

We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…

We consider orthogonal polynomials with respect to the weight $|z^2+a^2|^{cN}e^{-N|z|^2}$ in the whole complex plane. We obtain strong asymptotics and the limiting normalized zero counting measure (mother body) of the orthogonal polynomials…

We prove the following isoperimetric type inequality: Given a finite absolutely continuous Borel measure on ${\mathbb R}^n$, halfspaces have maximal measure among all subsets with prescribed barycenter. As a consequence, we make progress…

The paper studies a general norm minimization problem on a product of normed vector spaces. We establish dual necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and derive explicit formulas for the corresponding solution sets. These formulas…

We consider the Lam\'e system of linear elasticity when the inclusion has the extreme elastic constants. We show that the solutions to the Lam\'e system converge in appropriate $H^1$-norms when the shear modulus tends to infinity (the other…

This paper deals with the numerical approximation of normalizing constants produced by particle methods, in the general framework of Feynman-Kac sequences of measures. It is well-known that the corresponding estimates satisfy a central…

In this paper, we prove that the inverse problems for 2D elasticity and for the thin plate with boundary data (finite or full measurements) are equivalent. Having proved this equivalence, we can solve inverse problems for the plate equation…

We generalize a semi-norm for the Alexander polynomial of a connected, compact, oriented 3-manifold on its first cohomology group to a semi-norm for an arbitrary Laurent polynomial f on the dual vector space to the space of exponents of f.…

We prove that any extended formulation that approximates the matching polytope on $n$-vertex graphs up to a factor of $(1+\varepsilon)$ for any $\frac2n \le \varepsilon \le 1$ must have at least $\binom{n}{{\alpha}/{\varepsilon}}$ defining…

We present lower estimates for the best constant appearing in the weak $(1,1)$ maximal inequality in the space $(\R^n,\|\cdot\|_{\iy})$. We show that this constant grows to infinity faster than $(\log n)^{1-o(1)}$ when $n$ tends to…
