We give sufficient geometric conditions, not involving capacities, for a compact null set to be removable for the Sobolev functions on weighted $\mathbb R^n$, defined as the closure of smooth functions in the weighted Sobolev norm. Our…

In this paper we establish some explicit and sharp estimates of the spectral gap and the log-Sobolev constant for mean field particles system, uniform in the number of particles, when the confinement potential have many local minimums. Our…

In this work a local inequality is provided which bounds the distance of an integral varifold from a multivalued plane (height) by its tilt and mean curvature. The bounds obtained for the exponents of the Lebesgue spaces involved are shown…

We prove an improved version of Poincar\'e-Hardy inequality in suitable subspaces of the Sobolev space on the hyperbolic space via Bessel pairs. As a consequence, we obtain a new Hardy type inequality with an improved constant (than the…

A closed convex subset of a normed linear space is said to have the strong separation property if it can be strongly separated from every other disjoint closed and convex set by a closed hyperplane. In this paper we give some results on the…

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 obtain the sharp constant for the Hardy-Sobolev inequality involving the distance to the origin. This inequality is equivalent to a limiting Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality. In three dimensions, in certain cases the sharp constant…

Given a convex set and an interior point close to the boundary, we prove the existence of a supporting hyperplane whose distance to the point is controlled, in a dimensionally quantified way, by the thickness of the convex set in the…

We provide comparison principles for convex functions through its proximal mappings. Consequently, we prove that the norm of the proximal operator determines a convex the function up to a constant. A new characterization of Lipschitzianity…

We consider mesh functions which are discrete convex in the sense that their central second order directional derivatives are positive. Analogous to the case of a uniformly bounded sequence of convex functions, we prove that the uniform…

The theory of boundary regularity for $p$-harmonic functions is extended to unbounded open sets in complete metric spaces with a doubling measure supporting a $p$-Poincar\'e inequality, $1<p<\infty$. The barrier classification of regular…

In this paper we solve a problem raised by Guti\'errez and Montanari about comparison principles for $H-$convex functions on subdomains of Heisenberg groups. Our approach is based on the notion of the sub-Riemannian horizontal normal…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex. If $u: \Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ has mean 0, then we have the classical Poincar\'{e} inequality $$ \|u \|_{L^p} \leq c_p \mbox{diam}(\Omega) \| \nabla u \|_{L^p}$$ with sharp constants…

We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…

We prove that for every planar convex set $\Omega$, the function $t\in (-r(\Omega),+\infty)\longmapsto \sqrt{|\Omega_t|}h(\Omega_t)$ is monotonically decreasing, where $r$, $|\cdot|$ and $h$ stand for the inradius, the measure and the…

We prove a sharp upper bound on convex domains, in terms of the diameter alone, of the best constant in a class of weighted Poincar\'e inequalities. The key point is the study of an optimal weighted Wirtinger inequality.
