In this paper, we study derivatives of powers of Euclidean norm. We prove their H\"older continuity and establish explicit expressions for the corresponding constants. We show that these constants are optimal for odd derivatives and at most…

We extend Stein's celebrated Wasserstein bound for normal approximation via exchangeable pairs to the multi-dimensional setting. As an intermediate step, we exploit the symmetry of exchangeable pairs to obtain an error bound for smooth test…

Rademacher theorem states that every Lipschitz function on the Euclidean space is differentiable almost everywhere, where "almost everywhere" refers to the Lebesgue measure. In this paper we prove a differentiability result of similar type,…

We consider the Dirichlet problem for solutions to general second-order homogeneous elliptic equations with constant complex coefficients. We prove that any Jordan domain with $C^{1,\alpha}$-smooth boundary, $0<\alpha<1$, is not regular…

We deal with homogeneous Dirichlet and Neumann boundary-value problems for anisotropic elliptic operators of p-Laplace type. They emerge as Euler-Lagrange equations of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations built upon possibly…

We prove a analogous of Stein theorem for rational functions in several variables: we bound the number of reducible fibers by a formula depending on the degree of the fraction.

The behavior of solutions to the biharmonic equation is well-understood in smooth domains. In the past two decades substantial progress has also been made for the polyhedral domains and domains with Lipschitz boundaries. However, very…

Lower and upper bounds for a given function are important in many mathematical and engineering contexts, where they often serve as a base for both analysis and application. In this short paper, we derive piecewise linear and quadratic…
