We survey results concerning sharp estimates on volumes of sections and projections of certain convex bodies, mainly $\ell_p$ balls, by and onto lower dimensional subspaces. This subject emerged from geometry of numbers several decades ago…
Geometric duality theory for multiple objective linear programming problems turned out to be very useful for the development of efficient algorithms to generate or approximate the whole set of nondominated points in the outcome space. This…
A new method for the solution of initial-boundary value problems for evolution PDEs recently introduced by Fokas is generalised to multidimensions. Also the relation of this method with the method of images and with the classical integral…
This paper develops a geometric approach of variational analysis for the case of convex objects considered in locally convex topological spaces and also in Banach space settings. Besides deriving in this way new results of convex calculus,…
A geometric setup for constrained variational calculus is presented. The analysis deals with the study of the extremals of an action functional defined on piecewise differentiable curves, subject to differentiable, non-holonomic…
Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide…
Shape inference is classically ill-posed, because it involves a map from the (2D) image domain to the (3D) world. Standard approaches regularize this problem by either assuming a prior on lighting and rendering or restricting the domain,…
We consider so-called branched transport and variants thereof in two space dimensions. In these models one seeks an optimal transportation network for a given mass transportation task. In two space dimensions, they are closely connected to…
Convection-diffusion problems arise in the modelling of many physical processes. Their typical solutions exhibit boundary and/or interior layers. Despite the linear nature of the differential operator, these problems pose still-unanswered…
This paper is motivated by the limit load, limit analysis and shear strength reduction methods, which are commonly employed in geotechnical stability analysis or similar applications. The aim is to make these methods more approachable by…

This paper mainly addresses the extrema of a nonconvex functional with double-well potential in higher dimensions through the approach of nonlinear partial differential equations. Based on the canonical duality method, the corresponding…
In this paper we achieve some new Hadamard type inequalities using elementary well known inequalities for functions whose first derivatives absolute values are s-geometrically and geometrically convex. And also we get some applications for…
This talk is a write-up on some origins of abstract convexity and afew vexing limitations on the range of abstraction in convexity.
We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…
We examine the metrics that arise when a finite set of points is embedded in the real line, in such a way that the distance between each pair of points is at least 1. These metrics are closely related to some other known metrics in the…
Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…
Our goal is to establish existence with suitable initial data of solutions to general parabolic equation in one dimension, $u_t = L(u_x)_x$, where $L$ is merely a monotone function. We also expose the basic properties of solutions,…
