We show that min-max minimal hypersurfaces can be localized. As a consequence, we obtain the sharp generalization to complete manifolds of the famous Almgren-Pitts min-max theorem in closed manifolds. We use this result to prove the…
The weak Harnack inequality for $L^p$-viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear second-order uniformly parabolic partial differential equations with unbounded coefficients and inhomogeneous terms is proved. It is shown that H\"older…
In this paper we obtain some extensions of the classical Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality. The novelty is that we consider functions that do not necessarily satisfy an infinitesimal equation but rather exhibit a two-scale behavior. We…
In this paper we prove a fractional version of a Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type interpolation inequality on hypersurfaces $M\subset\R^{n+1}$ which are boundaries of convex sets. The inequality carries a universal constant independent of $M$…
This paper is the first attempt to systematically study properties of the effective Hamiltonian $\overline{H}$ arising in the periodic homogenization of some coercive but nonconvex Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Firstly, we introduce a new and…
In this paper, we establish some Harnack type inequalities satisfied by positive solutions of nonlocal inhomogeneous equations arising in the description of various phenomena ranging from population dynamics to micro-magnetism. For regular…
This paper is concerned with the study of the Strong Maximum Principle for semicontinuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear, second-order parabolic integro-differential equations. We study separately the propagation of maxima in the…
We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two…
This paper considers robust solutions to a class of nonlinear least squares problems using min-max optimization approach. We give an explicit formula for the value function of the inner maximization problem and show the existence of global…
In this paper we study the local behavior of solutions to some free boundary problems. We relate the theory of quasi-conformal maps to the regularity of the solutions to nonlinear thin-obstacle problems; we prove that the contact set is…
We introduce extremal affine surface areas in a functional setting. We show their main properties. Among them are linear invariance, isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity properties. We establish a new duality formula, which shows…
We solve the convergence case of the generalized Baker-Schmidt problem for simultaneous approximation on affine subspaces, under natural diophantine type conditions. In one of our theorems, we do not require monotonicity on the…
We improve known upper bounds for the minimal dispersion of a point set in the unit cube and its inverse in both the periodic and non-periodic settings. Some of our bounds are sharp up to logarithmic factors.
This paper continues studies of non-intersection properties of finite collections of sets initiated 40 years ago by the extremal principle. We study elementary non-intersection properties of collections of sets, making the core of the…
We consider a fractional Plateau's problem dealing with sets with prescribed non-local mean curvature. This problem can be seen as a non-local counterpart of the classical Massari's Problem. We obtain existence and regularity results,…
We prove optimal regularity results in $L_p$-based function spaces in space and time for a large class of linear parabolic equations with a nonlocal elliptic operator in bounded domains with limited smoothness. Here the nonlocal operator is…
We present a proof of scale-invariant boundary Harnack principle for uniform domains when the underlying space satisfies a scale-invariant elliptic Harnack inequality. Our approach does not assume the underlying space to be geodesic.…
A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…
In this paper we develop an extremal eigenvalue approach to the problem of construction of free boundary minimal surfaces in the product of Euclidean balls of chosen radii. The extremal problem involves a linear combination of normalized…
We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for smooth subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary.…
