Given a connected Lipschitz domain U we let L(U) be the subset of functions in 2nd order Sobolev space whose gradient (in the sense of trace) is equal to the inward pointing unit normal to U. The the Aviles Giga functional over L(U) serves…

This paper focuses on a relation between the growth of harmonic functions and the Hausdorff measure of their zero sets. Let $u$ be a real-valued harmonic function in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $u(0)=0$ and $n\geq 3$. We prove…

Let $g=e^{2u}(dx^2+dy^2)$ be a conformal metric defined on the unit disk of $\mathbf{C}$. We give an estimate of $\|\nabla u\|_{L^{2,\infty}(D_\frac{1}{2})}$ when $\|K(g)\|_{L^1}$ is small and $\frac{\mu(B_r^g(z),g)}{\pi r^2}<\Lambda$ for…

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic…

We study stochastic homogenization for convex integral functionals $$u\mapsto \int_D W(\omega,\tfrac{x}\varepsilon,\nabla u)\,\mathrm{d}x,\quad\mbox{where}\quad u:D\subset \mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}^m,$$ defined on Sobolev spaces. Assuming…

We consider gradient descent equations for energy functionals of the type S(u) = 1/2 < u(x), A(x)u(x) >_{L^2} + \int_{\Omega} V(x,u) dx, where A is a uniformly elliptic operator of order 2, with smooth coefficients. The gradient descent…

We develop a version of Herbrand's theorem for continuous logic and use it to prove that definable functions in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces are piecewise approximable by affine functions. We obtain similar results for definable…

In this article we study the quasi-linear equation \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} \mathrm{div}\, \mathcal A(x,u,\nabla u)&=\mathcal B(x,u,\nabla u)&&\text{in }\Omega,\\ u\in H^{1,p}_{loc}&(\Omega;wdx) \end{aligned} \right. \] where $\mathcal A$…

We show that the set of Lebesgue integrable functions in $[0,1]$ which are nowhere essentially bounded is spaceable, improving a result from [F. J. Garc\'{i}a-Pacheco, M. Mart\'{i}n, and J. B. Seoane-Sep\'ulveda. \textit{Lineability,…

In this work we analyse the functional ${\cal J}(u)=\|\nabla u\|_\infty$ defined on Lipschitz functions with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our analysis is performed directly on the functional without the need to approximate…

Given a bounded open connected Lipschitz set $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, we show that the relaxed Cartesian area functional $\overline{\mathcal A}(u,\Omega)$ of a map $u\in W^{1,1}(\Omega;\mathbb S^1)$ is finite, and provide a useful…

We show that every Sobolev function in $W^{1,p}_{\textrm{loc}}(U)$ on a $p$-quasiopen set $U \subset {\bf R}^n$ with a.e.-vanishing $p$-fine gradient is a.e.-constant if and only if $U$ is $p$-quasiconnected. To prove this we use the theory…

In this note we announce that under general hypotheses, wavelet-type expansions (of functions in $L^p,\ 1\leq p \leq \infty$, in one or more dimensions) converge pointwise almost everywhere, and identify the Lebesgue set of a function as a…

This letter presents an almost sure convergence of the zeroth-order mirror descent algorithm. The algorithm admits non-smooth convex functions and a biased oracle which only provides noisy function value at any desired point. We approximate…

We study the pointwise convergence and the $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of non-local, non-convex functionals $\Lambda_\delta$ in $L^p(\Omega)$ for $p>1$. We show that the limits are multiples of $\int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^p$. This is a…

Let $N\geq 5$, $a>0$, $\Omega$ be a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$, $2^*=\frac{2N}{N-2}$, $2^\#=\frac{2(N-1)}{N-2}$ and $||u||^2=|\nabla u|_{2}^2+a|u|_{2}^2$. We prove there exists an $\alpha_{0}>0$ such that, for all $u\in…

Functions in a Sobolev space are approximated directly by piecewise affine interpolation in the norm of the space. The proof is based on estimates for interpolations and does not rely on the density of smooth functions.

In a recent paper, Basu, Hildebrand, and Molinaro established that the set of continuous minimal functions for the 1-dimensional Gomory-Johnson infinite group relaxation possesses a dense subset of extreme functions. The $n$-dimensional…
