We consider the comparison principle for semicontinuous viscosity sub- and supersolutions of second order elliptic equations on the form $F(D^2 w,x) = 0$. A structural condition on the operator is presented that seems to unify the different…
We introduce a notion of subunit vector field for fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic equations. We prove that an interior maximum of a viscosity subsolution of such an equation propagates along the trajectories of subunit vector fields.…
There is a long history of parabolic monotonicity formulas that developed independently from several different fields and a much more recent elliptic theory. The elliptic theory can be localized and there are additional monotone quantities.…
Finding zeros of the sum of two maximally monotone operators involving a continuous linear operator is a central problem in optimization and monotone operator theory. We revisit the duality framework proposed by Eckstein, Ferris, Pennanen,…
This paper addresses inverse problems (in a broad sense) for two classes of multivariate neural network (NN) operators, with particular emphasis on saturation results, and both analytical and semi-analytical inverse theorems. One of the key…

We introduce and study a notion of duality for two classes of optimization problems commonly occurring in probability theory. That is, on an abstract measurable space $(\Omega,\mathcal{F})$, we consider pairs $(E,\mathcal{G})$ where $E$ is…
We approximate the homogenization of fully nonlinear, convex, uniformly elliptic Partial Differential Equations in the periodic setting, using a variational formula for the optimal invariant measure, which may be derived via…
This note is meant to introduce the reader to a duality principle for nonlinear equations that recently appeared in the literature. Motivations come from the desire to give a unifying potential-theoretic framework for various maximum…
A key observation underlying this paper is the fact that the range invariance condition for convergence of regularization methods for nonlinear ill-posed operator equations -- such as coefficient identification in partial differential…
In this article we first establish the maximum principle of the antisymmetric functions for parabolic fractional $p$-equations. Then we use it and the parabolic inequalities to provide a different proof of symmetry and monotonicity for…
We study a singular elliptic problem driven by a mixed local-nonlocal operator of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} -\Delta_p u + (-\Delta_q)^s u &= \frac{\lambda}{u^{\delta}} + u^r \text{ in } \Omega\newline u > 0 \text{ in }…
The main goal of this paper is to show how some monotonicity methods related with the subdifferential of suitable convex functions and its extensions as m-accretive operators in Banach spaces lead to new and unexpected results showing, for…
