We consider the principal-agent problem with heterogeneous agents. Previous works assume that the principal signs independent incentive contracts with every agent to make them invest more efforts on the tasks. However, in many…
We prove a Gannon-Lee theorem for non-globally hyperbolic Lo\-rentzian metrics of regularity $C^1$, the most general regularity class currently available in the context of the classical singularity theorems. Along the way we also prove that…
The note concerns the $\bar\partial$ problem on product domains in $\mathbb C^2$. We show that there exists a bounded solution operator from $C^{k, \alpha}$ into itself, $k\in \mathbb Z^+\cup \{0\}, 0<\alpha< 1$. The regularity result is…
In this paper we study regularity estimates for the solution to an obstacle problem arising in stochastic impulse control theory. We prove using elementary methods the known sharp $C_{loc}^{1,1}$ estimate for the solution. The new proof is…
We present algorithms for the computation of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the Rees algebra and of the fiber ring of equigenerated $\mm$-primary ideals in two variables. Applying these algorithms, we find a counter-example to a…
In this paper, we consider a kind of degenerate normalized $p$-Laplacian equation with general variable exponents. We establish local $C^{1,\alpha'}$ regularity of viscosity solutions by making use of the compactness argument, scaling…
Starting with the multiplication of elements in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^2$ which is consistent with that over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$, where $q$ is a prime power, via some identification of the two environments, we investigate the $c$-differential…
We study principal-agent problems in which a principal commits to an outcome-dependent payment scheme (a.k.a. contract) so as to induce an agent to take a costly, unobservable action. We relax the assumption that the principal perfectly…
In this work, we study regularity properties for nonvariational singular elliptic equations ruled by the infinity Laplacian. We obtain optimal $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity along the free boundary. We also show existence of solutions,…
We study interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations of the general form $F(D^2u)=0$ in two independent variables and without any geometric condition on $F$. By means of the…
We examine problems of ``intermediated implementation,'' in which a single principal can only regulate limited aspects of the consumption bundles traded between intermediaries and agents with hidden characteristics. An example is sales, in…
We provide a sharp $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimate up to the boundary for a viscosity solution of a degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equation with the oblique boundary condition on a $C^1$ domain. To this end, we first obtain a uniform boundary…
We prove that any solution of a degenerate elliptic PDE is of class $C^1$, provided the inverse of the equation's degeneracy law satisfies an integrability criterium, viz. $\sigma^{-1} \in L^1\left (\frac{1}{\lambda} {\bf d}\lambda\right…
In this paper we show boundary monotonicity formulae for rectifiable varifolds having a $C^{1,\alpha}$ "boundary". In particular, we show that the area ratios of balls centered at this "boundary'' satisfy a nice monotonicity formula,…
In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…
We study existence and regularity of weak solutions for the following PDE $$ -\dive(A(x,u)|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u) = f(x,u),\;\;\mbox{in $B_1$}. $$ where $A(x,s) = A_+(x)\chi_{\{s>0\}}+A_-(x)\chi_{\{s\le 0\}}$ and $f(x,s) =…
We discuss avoidance of sure loss and coherence results for semicopulas and standardized functions, i.e., for grounded, 1-increasing functions with value $1$ at $(1,1,\ldots, 1)$. We characterize the existence of a $k$-increasing…
We consider the mixed Dirichlet-conormal problem on irregular domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Two types of regularity results will be discussed: the $W^{1,p}$ regularity and a non-tangential maximal function estimate. The domain is assumed to be…
We establish $C^{\sigma+\alpha}$ interior estimates for concave nonlocal fully nonlinear equations of order $\sigma\in(0,2)$ with rough kernels. Namely, we prove that if $u\in C^{\alpha}(\mathbb R^n)$ solves in $B_1$ a concave translation…
Using techniques for Caccioppoli inequality, on a fairly general class of complete non-compact K\"ahler manifolds with sub-quadratic volume growth, we show uniqueness of bounded $C^{1,1}$ solution to Monge-Ampere equation. This does not a…
