By ECS manifolds one means pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $\,n\ge4\,$ which have parallel Weyl tensor, but not for one of the two obvious reasons: conformal flatness or local symmetry. As shown by Roter [10, 2], they exist for…

In 1973 J. C. Wells showed that a variant of the Whitney extension theorem holds for $C^{1,1}$-smooth real-valued functions on Hilbert spaces. In 2021 D. Azagra and C. Mudarra generalised this result to $C^{1,\omega}$-smooth functions on…

We revisit Whitney's extension theorem in the ultradifferentiable Roumieu setting. Based on the description of ultradifferentiable classes by weight matrices, we extend results on how growth constraints on Whitney jets on arbitrary compact…

A solution manifold is the collection of points in a $d$-dimensional space satisfying a system of $s$ equations with $s<d$. Solution manifolds occur in several statistical problems including hypothesis testing, curved-exponential families,…

The general aim of manifold estimation is reconstructing, by statistical methods, an $m$-dimensional compact manifold $S$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$ (with $m\leq d$) or estimating some relevant quantities related to the geometric properties of $S$.…

Partial differential equations with discrete (concentrated) state-dependent delays are studied. The existence and uniqueness of solutions with initial data from a wider linear space is proven first and then a subset of the space of…

Given a C2-domain with compact boundary in an arbitrary complete Riemannian manifold, we search for smallness conditions on the boundary data for which the Dirichlet problem for the minimal hypersurface equation is solvable. We obtain an…

This article discusses the existence problem of a compact quotient of a symmetric space by a properly discontinuous group with emphasis on the non-Riemannian case. Discontinuous groups are not always abundant in a homogeneous space $G/H$ if…

In this paper, we study the non-singular extension problem of horizontal stable fold maps. This problem asks what conditions ensure the existence of a submersion whose restriction to the boundary coincides with a given map, called a…
