We derive a priori error estimates for Nitsche's method applied to elliptic problems on approximate domains. Such approximations arise, for example, in unfitted finite element methods, data-driven simulations, and evolving domain problems,…

Asymptotic normality of extreme value tail estimators received much attention in the literature, giving rise to increasingly complicated 2nd order regularity conditions. However, such conditions are really difficult to be checked for real…

The new ingredient of this paper is that we consider infinitely dimensional classes of functions and instead of the relative error setting, which was used in previous papers on norm discretization, we consider the absolute error setting. We…

It is a typical standard assumption in the density deconvolution problem that the characteristic function of the measurement error distribution is non-zero on the real line. While this condition is assumed in the majority of existing works…
