We study the density of the set $\operatorname{SNA}(M,Y)$ of those Lipschitz maps from a (complete pointed) metric space $M$ to a Banach space $Y$ which strongly attain their norm (i.e.\ the supremum defining the Lipschitz norm is actually…

We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection…

We prove metric differentiation for differentiability spaces in the sense of Cheeger. As corollaries we give a new proof that the minimal generalized upper gradient coincides with the pointwise Lipschitz constant for Lipschitz functions on…

In this work, we revisit the following estimate due to Dahlberg \cite{Dahl}. Let $\textit{\textbf x}_0$ a fixed point in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$. Then there exists a constant $C > 0$ such that if $u$ is a harmonic function in…

Let $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact set, and $f:E \to \mathbb{R}$. How can we tell if there exists a convex extension $F \in C^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of $f$, i.e. satisfying $F|_E = f|_E$? Assuming such an extension exists, how small…

Given two metric spaces $\mathcal N \subseteq \mathcal M$ in inclusion and $0<p\leq 1$, we wish to determine the smallest constant $\mathfrak{t}_p (\mathcal N, \mathcal M)$ such that any Lipschitz map $f: \mathcal N \to Z$ into any…

We give a sharp condition on the lower local Lipschitz constant of a mapping from a metric space supporting a Poincar\'e inequality to a Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property that guarantees differentiability at almost every point.…

We study the existence of continuous (linear) operators from the Banach spaces $\mbox{Lip}_0(M)$ of Lipschitz functions on infinite metric spaces $M$ vanishing at a distinguished point and from their predual spaces $\mathcal{F}(M)$ onto…

We introduce the generalized notion of semicontinuity of a function defined on a topological space and derive the useful classification of the so-called Lipschitz derivatives of functions defined on a metric space. Secondly, we investigate…

Let $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)$ be the space of Lipschitz functions on a complete metric space $M$ that vanish at a base point. We show that every normal functional in $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)^\ast$ is weak$^*$ continuous, answering a…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

In this paper we give some results about the approximation of a Lipschitz function on a Banach space by means of $\Delta$-convex functions. In particular, we prove that the density of $\Delta$-convex functions in the set of Lipschitz…

We introduce an analogue for Lip-normed operator systems of the second author's order-unit quantum Gromov-Hausdorff distance and prove that it is equal to the first author's complete distance. This enables us to consolidate the basic theory…

Given a pointed metric space $M$, we study when there exist $n$-dimensional linear subspaces of $\operatorname{Lip}_0(M)$ consisting of strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functionals, for $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We show that this is always the…

We prove that, for any closed semialgebraic subset $W$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and for any positive integer $p$, there exists a Nash function $f:\mathbb{R}^n\setminus W\longrightarrow (0, \infty)$ which is equivalent to the distance function from…

Given a porous compact $K \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and a continuity modulus $\omega$, we prove a quantitative Jackson-Bernstein type theorem on harmonic approximation. That is, a function $f$ belongs to the class $\mathrm{Lip}_{\omega}(K)$ if…

In this paper we study a p harmonic measure, associated with a positive p harmonic function \hat{u} defined in an open set O, subset of R^n, and vanishing on a portion \Gamma of boundary of O. If p>n we show that this p harmonic measure is…

Suppose that $\Sigma$ is a hyperbolic surface and $f:\mathbb R_+\to\mathbb R_+$ a monotonic function. We study the closure in the projective tangent bundle $PT\Sigma$ of the set of all geodesics $\gamma$ satisfying $I(\gamma,\gamma)\leq…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\Ri^d$ with boundary $\Gamma$ and let $d_\Gamma$ denote the Euclidean distance to $\Gamma$. Further let $H=-\divv(C\nabla)$ where $C=(\,c_{kl}\,)>0$ with $c_{kl}=c_{lk}$ are real, bounded, Lipschitz continuous…

The main result of this paper is: {\bf Theorem.} Let $f:\mathbb{R}^k\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a $C^{1}$ function, so that $\nabla f$ is locally Lipschitz continuous. Assume moreover that $f$ is $C^2$ near its generalised saddle points. Fix…
