Reparametrization invariant Sobolev metrics on spaces of regular curves have been shown to be of importance in the field of mathematical shape analysis. For practical applications, one usually discretizes the space of smooth curves and…

Defect of compactness, relative to an embedding of two Banach spaces E and F, is a difference between a weakly convergent sequence in E and its weak limit taken up to a remainder that vanishes in the norm of F. For Sobolev embeddings in…

We develop a general method to calculate entropy numbers of standard Sobolev's classes on an arbitrary compact homogeneous Riemannian manifold. Our method is essentially based on a detailed study of geometric characteristics of norms…

Let $\phi$ be a quasiconformal mapping, and let $T_\phi$ be the composition operator which maps $f$ to $f\circ\phi$. Since $\phi$ may not be bi-Lipschitz, the composition operator need not map Sobolev spaces to themselves. The study begins…

We construct a smooth compact n-dimensional manifold Y with one point singularity such that all its Lipschitz homotopy groups are trivial, but Lipschitz mappings Lip(S^n,Y) are not dense in the Sobolev space W^{1,n}(S^n,Y). On the other…

For a topological space $X$ we study continuous maps $f : X\to \mathbb R^m$ such that images of every pairwise distinct $k$ points are affinely (linearly) independent. Such maps are called affinely (linearly) $k$-regular embeddings. We…

We study different definitions of Sobolev spaces on quasiopen sets in a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincar\'e inequality with 1<p<\infty, and connect them to the Sobolev theory in R^n. In…

We study a modified version of Lerman-Whitehouse Menger-like curvature defined for m+2 points in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. For 1 <= l <= m+2 and an m-dimensional subset S of R^n we also introduce global versions of this discrete…

For every $2 < p < 3$, we show that $u \in W^{1,p}(B^3; S^2)$ can be strongly approximated by maps in $C^\infty(\Bar{B}^3; S^2)$ if, and only if, the distributional Jacobian of $u$ vanishes identically. This result was originally proved by…

In this paper we prove a strong two-scale approximation result for sphere-valued maps in $L^2(\Omega;W^{1,2}_0(Q_0;\mathbb{S}^2))$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is an open domain and $Q_0\subset Q$ an open subset of the unit cube…

We prove a regularity result for the Poisson problem $-\Delta u = f$, $u |\_{\pa \PP} = g$ on a polyhedral domain $\PP \subset \RR^3$ using the \BK\ spaces $\Kond{m}{a}(\PP)$. These are weighted Sobolev spaces in which the weight is given…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively…

We study mappings with bounded (p,q)-distortion associated to Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups. Mappings of such type have applications to the Sobolev type embedding theory and classification of manifolds. For this class of mappings, we…

As Reeb's theorem shows, Morse functions with exactly two singular points on closed manifolds are very simple and important. They characterize spheres whose dimensions are not $4$ topologically and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. Special…

In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we prove a new Cartan-type property for the fine topology in the case $p=1$. Then we use this property to prove the existence of…

When analyzing modern machine learning algorithms, we may need to handle kernel density estimation (KDE) with intricate kernels that are not designed by the user and might even be irregular and asymmetric. To handle this emerging challenge,…
