We investigate the validity, as well as the failure, of Sobolev-type inequalities on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds under suitable bounds on the sectional and the Ricci curvatures. We prove that if the sectional curvatures are bounded from above…

We study the incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes equations in the upper-half plane with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and non-zero external forcing terms. Existence of weak solutions is proved under a suitable condition on…

It is well known that if a random vector satisfies a log-Sobolev inequality, all of its marginals have subgaussian tails. In the spirit of the KLS conjecture, we investigate whether this implication can be reversed under a log-concavity…

We consider a class of rigidity results in a convex cone $\Sigma \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$. These include overdetermined Serrin-type problems for a mixed boundary value problem relative to $\Sigma$, Alexandrov's soap bubble-type results…

We prove existence and regularity of minimizers for a class of functionals defined on Borel sets in $R^n$. Combining these results with a refinement of the selection principle introduced by the authors in arXiv:0911.0786, we describe a…

This paper shows that the Stokes problem is well-posed when velocity and pressure simultaneously vanish on the domain boundary. This result is achieved by extending Ne\v{c}as' inequality to square-integrable functions that vanish in a small…

We extend several Cheeger-type isoperimetric bounds for convex sets in Euclidean space, due to Bobkov and Kannan-Lov\'asz-Simonovits, to Riemannian manifolds having non-negative Ricci curvature. In order to extend Bobkov's bound, we require…

We present the best constant and the existence of extremal functions for an Improved Hardy-Sobolev inequality. We prove that, under a proper transformation, this inequality is equivalent to the Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^N$. We also…

In this paper, we mainly focus on the set-valued (stochastic) analysis on the space of convex, closed, but possibly unbounded sets, and try to establish a useful theoretical framework for studying the set-valued stochastic differential…

We prove a sharp quantitative version of the $p$-Sobolev inequality for any $1<p<n$, with a control on the strongest possible distance from the class of optimal functions. Surprisingly, the sharp exponent is constant for $p<2$, while it…

We present a unified strategy to derive Hardy-Poincar\'e inequalities on bounded and unbounded domains. The approach allows proving a general Hardy-Poincar\'e inequality from which the classical Poincar\'e and Hardy inequalities immediately…

In this paper, we study a geometric property of a continuous plurisubharmonic function which is a solution of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation and has a convex level set. To prove our main theorem, we show a minimum principle of a maximal…

We give a sufficient and necessary condition for a probability measure $\mu$ on the real line to satisfy the logarithmic Sobolev inequality for convex functions. The condition is expressed in terms of the unique left-continuous and…

This paper concerns parameterized convex infinite (or semi-infinite) inequality systems whose decision variables run over general infinite-dimensional Banach (resp. finite-dimensional) spaces and that are indexed by an arbitrary fixed set T…

We consider the free boundary problem of compressible isentropic neo-Hookean viscoelastic fluid equations with surface tension. Under the physical kinetic and dynamic conditions proposed on the free boundary, we investigate regularities of…

We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…

We initiate the study of fine $p$-(super)minimizers, associated with $p$-harmonic functions, on finely open sets in metric spaces, where $1 < p < \infty$. After having developed their basic theory, we obtain the $p$-fine continuity of the…

We prove geometric upper bounds for the Poincar\'e and Logarithmic Sobolev constants for Brownian motion on manifolds with sticky reflecting boundary diffusion i.e. extended Wentzell-type boundary condition under general curvature…

This work advances knowledge of the threshold of prox-boundedness of a function; an important concern in the use of proximal point optimization algorithms and in determining the existence of the Moreau envelope of the function. In finite…

In this article, we determine the Rogosinski radii for certain subclasses of close-to-convex functions defined on open unit disc $\mathbb{D}= \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| < 1\}$. Furthermore, we establish improved versions of the classical Bohr…
