We study the minimizers of the sum of the principal Dirichlet eigenvalue of the negative Laplacian and the perimeter with respect to a general norm in the class of Jordan domains in the plane. This is equivalent (modulo scaling) to…
This paper has two themes that are intertwined: The first is the dynamics of certain piecewise affine maps on the Euclidean space that arise from a class of analog-to-digital conversion methods called Sigma-Delta quantization. The second is…
In this article, we consider and analyse a small variant of a functional originally introduced in \cite{BLS,LS} to approximate the (geometric) planar Steiner problem. This functional depends on a small parameter $\varepsilon>0$ and…
We demonstrate that discrete m-functions with eventually periodic continued fraction coefficients have an algebraic relationship to their second solution if and only if the periodic part of the sequence of continued fraction coefficients is…
The summatory function of the number of binomial coefficients not divisible by a prime is known to exhibit regular periodic oscillations, yet identifying the less regularly behaved minimum of the underlying periodic functions has been open…
We propose and analyze random subspace variants of the second-order Adaptive Regularization using Cubics (ARC) algorithm. These methods iteratively restrict the search space to some random subspace of the parameters, constructing and…
This paper presents a detailed asymptotic and numerical investigation of the phase diagram for global minimizers to a Cahn-Hilliard functional with long-range interactions in two space dimensions. We introduce a small parameter measuring…
We study the asymptotic behavior of a family of functionals which penalize a short-range interaction of convolution type between a finite perimeter set and its complement. We first compute the pointwise limit and we obtain a lower estimate…
In this work we study the Plancherel-Rotach type asymptotics for Ismail-Masson orthogonal polynomials with complex scaling. The main term of the asymptotics contains Ramanujan function $A_{q}(z)$ for the scaling parameter on the vertical…
We consider a noninteracting disordered 1D quasicrystal in the weak disorder regime. We show that the critical states of the pure model approach strong localization in strikingly different ways, depending on their renormalization…
In this work, we study the minimization of nonlinear functionals in dimension $d\geq 1$ that depend on a degenerate radial weight $w$. Our goal is to prove the existence of minimizers in a suitable functional class here introduced and to…
In this note we show Ahlfors-regularity for a large class of quasiminimizers of the Griffith functional. This allows us to prove that, for a range of free discontinuity problems in linear elasticity with anisotropic, cohesive, or…
The functionals of double phase type \[ \mathcal{H} (u):= \int \left(|Du|^{p} + a(x)|Du|^{q} \right) dx, ( q > p > 1, a(x)\geq 0) \] are introduced in the epoch-making paper by Colombo-Mingione for constants $p$ and $q$, and investigated by…
When an oscillator switches abruptly between different frequencies, there is some ambiguity in deciding how the system should be modelled at the switch. Here we describe two seemingly natural models of a switch in a simple…
In our previous work,, we studied asymptotic behavior of minimizers of the Landau-de Gennes energy functional on planar domains as the nematic correlation length converges to zero. Here we improve upon those results, in particular by…
Multivariate piecewise polynomial functions (or splines) on polyhedral complexes have been extensively studied over the past decades and find applications in diverse areas of applied mathematics including numerical analysis, approximation…
We obtain a complete description of the Riesz measures of almost periodic subharmonic functions with at most of linear growth on the complex plane; as a consequence we get a complete description of zero sets for the class of entire…
We introduce a basis of rational polynomial-like functions $P_0,\ldots,P_{n-1}$ for the free module of functions $Z/nZ\to Z/mZ$. We then characterize the subfamily of congruence preserving functions as the set of linear combinations of the…
Partitions of unity in ${\mathbf R}^d$ formed by (matrix) scales of a fixed function appear in many parts of harmonic analysis, e.g., wavelet analysis and the analysis of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. We give a simple characterization of the…
We prove sharp local and global variation bounds for the centred Hardy--Littlewood maximal functions of indicator functions in one dimension. We characterise maximisers, treat both the continuous and discrete settings and extend our results…
