We prove that a relatively compact pseudoconvex domain with smooth boundary in an almost complex manifold admits a bounded strictly plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. We use this result for the study of convexity and hyperbolicity…

We investigate the question of existence of plurisubharmonic defining functions for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$. In particular, we construct a family of simple counterexamples to the existence of…

Using techniques from the analysis of PDEs to study the boundary behaviour of functions on domains with low boundary regularity, we extend results by Forna\ae{}ss-Wiegerinck (1989) on plurisubharmonic approximation and by Demailly (1987) on…

In previous works, G. Tomassini and the authors studied and classified complex surfaces admitting a real-analytic pluri-subharmonic exhaustion function; let $X$ be such a surface and $D\subseteq X$ a domain admitting a \emph{continuous}…

We study the geometry of $m$-regular domains within the Caffarelli-Nirenberg-Spruck model in terms of barrier functions, envelopes, exhaustion functions, and Jensen measures. We prove among other things that every $m$-hyperconvex domain…

We prove that if a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $D \subset \mathbb C^n$, $n \geq 2$, admits at least one Monge-Amp\`ere exhaustion smooth up to the boundary (i.e. a plurisubharmonic exhaustion $\tau: \overline D \to [0,1]$,…

We show subellipticity of the d-bar Neumann problem on domains with Lipschitz boundary in the presence of plurisubharmonic functions with Hessians of algebraic growth. In particular, a subelliptic estimate holds near a point where the…

We present some results dealing with the local geometry of almost complex manifolds. We establish mainly the complete hyperbolicity of strictly pseudoconvex domains, the extension of plurisubharmonic functions through generic submanifolds…

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 the plurisubharmonic envelopes of functions in the setting of domains in $\mathbb C^n$. In particular we prove a complex analogue of a result of De Philippis and Figalli concerning the optimal regularity of such envelopes in smooth…

The aim of this short note is to investigate the geometry of weakly complete subdomains of Grauert type surfaces, i.e. open connected sets D, sitting inside a Grauert type surface X, which admit a smooth plurisubharmonic exhaustion…

We prove Richberg type theorem for $m$-subharmonic function. The main tool is the complex Hessian equation for which we obtain the existence of the unique smooth solution in strictly pseudoconvex domains.

We establish plurisubharmonicity of the envelope of Poisson and Lelong functionals on almost complex manifolds. That is, we generalize the corresponding results for complex manifolds and almost complex manifolds of complex dimension two. We…

In this paper we introduce, via a Phragmen-Lindel\"of type theorem, a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We call such a function the {\sl pluricomplex Poisson kernel} because it shares many properties with…

A discussion of methods of nonisotropic fine quantitative complex analysis on lineally convex domains of finite type is given. The needed support functions with best possible estimates are considered together with the estimation of their…

A weakly complete space is a complex space admitting a (smooth) plurisubharmonic exhaustion function. In this paper, we classify those weakly complete complex surfaces for which such exhaustion function can be chosen real analytic: they can…

The Minkowski function is a crucial tool used in the study of balanced domains and, more generally, quasi-balanced domains in several complex variables. If a quasi-balanced domain is bounded and pseudoconvex then it is well-known that its…

This note studies numerical methods for solving compositional optimization problems, where the inner function is smooth, and the outer function is Lipschitz continuous, non-smooth, and non-convex but exhibits one of two special structures…

We show how Lasry-Lions's result on regularization of functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or on Hilbert spaces by sup-inf convolutions with squares of distances can be extended to (finite or infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifolds $M$ of…

This paper introduces a smoothed proximal Lagrangian method for minimizing a nonconvex smooth function over a convex domain with additional explicit convex nonlinear constraints. Two key features are 1) the proposed method is single-looped,…
