We construct a parabolic entire minimal graph $S$ over a finite topology complete Riemannian surface $\Sigma$ of curvature $-1$ and infinite area (thus of non-parabolic conformal type). The vertical projection of this graph yields a…
We prove the comparison principle for viscosity sub and super solutions of degenerate nonlocal operators with general nonlocal gradient nonlinearities. The proofs apply to purely Hamilton-Jacobi equations of order $0<s<1$.
In this work we start from the Higgs prototype model to introduce a new model, which makes a smooth transition between systems with well located minima and systems that support no minima at all. We implement this possibility using the…
We consider various versions of the obstacle and thin-obstacle problems, we interpret them as variational inequalities, with non-smooth constraint, and prove that they satisfy a new constrained Lojasiewicz inequality. The difficulty lies in…
In the present paper we initiate the variational analysis of a super sinh-Gordon system on compact surfaces, yielding the first example of non-trivial solution of min-max type. The proof is based on a linking argument jointly with a…
We study analytically the equilibrium and near-equilibrium properties of a model of surfaces relaxing via linear surface diffusion and subject to a lattice potential. We employ the variational mean field formalism introduced by Saito for…
In this paper, we study small data solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson system with the simplest external potential, for which unstable trapping holds for the associated Hamiltonian flow. First, we provide a new proof of global existence for…
We prove a microlocal lower bound on the mass of high energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact surfaces of negative curvature, and more generally on surfaces with Anosov geodesic flows. This implies controllability for the…
We present a well-posedness and stability result for a class of nondegenerate linear parabolic equations driven by rough paths. More precisely, we introduce a notion of weak solution that satisfies an intrinsic formulation of the equation…
We establish some perturbed minimization principles, and we develop a theory of subdifferential calculus, for functions defined on Riemannian manifolds. Then we apply these results to show existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions to…
Initially developed for the min-knapsack problem, the knapsack cover inequalities are used in the current best relaxations for numerous combinatorial optimization problems of covering type. In spite of their widespread use, these…
Let F be nonnegative, convex and smooth off a compact set K. We prove that continuous local minimisers of convex functionals are "very weak" viscosity solutions in the sense of Juutinen-Lindqvist of the highly singular Euler-Lagrange PDE…
In this chapter we present a general method of constructing the effective equation which describes the behaviour of small-amplitude solutions for a nonlinear PDE in finite volume, provided that the linear part of the equation is a…
We present several examples of fundamental problems involving weak continuity and compactness for nonlinear partial differential equations, in which compensated compactness and related ideas have played a significant role. We first focus on…
We propose a class of very simple modifications of gradient descent and stochastic gradient descent. We show that when applied to a large variety of machine learning problems, ranging from logistic regression to deep neural nets, the…
We use a Simons type equation in order to characterize complete non-minimal pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature.
Motivated by the study of the equilibrium equations for a soap film hanging from a wire frame, we prove a compactness theorem for surfaces with asymptotically vanishing mean curvature and fixed or converging boundaries. In particular, we…
In this paper, we establish a scale invariant Harnack inequality for some inhomogeneous parabolic equations in a suitable intrinsic geometry dictated by the nonlinearity. The class of equations that we consider correspond to the parabolic…
We give an elementary proof of a compact embedding theorem in abstract Sobolev spaces. The result is first presented in a general context and later specialized to the case of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined with respect to nonnegative…
Sparsity plays a central role in recent developments in signal processing, linear algebra, statistics, optimization, and other fields. In these developments, sparsity is promoted through the addition of an $L^1$ norm (or related quantity)…
