Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…
We obtain a compactness result for $\Gamma$-convergence of integral functionals defined on $\mathcal{A}$-free vector fields. This is used to study homogenization problems for these functionals without periodicity assumptions. More…
Compactness is one of the core notions of analysis: it connects local properties to global ones and makes limits well-behaved. We study the computational properties of the compactness of Cantor space $2^{\mathbb{N}}$ for uncountable covers.…
Given a convergence theorem in analysis, under very general conditions a model-theoretic compactness argument implies that there is a uniform bound on the rate of metastability. We illustrate with three examples from ergodic theory.
In this note, we consider the concentration function problem for a continuous action of a locally compact group $G$ on a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the concentration functions of a…
In this paper we prove the existence of global classical solutions to continuous coagulation-fragmentation equations with unbounded coefficients under the sole assumption that the coagulation rate is dominated by a power of the…
The concept of convex compactness, weaker than the classical notion of compactness, is introduced and discussed. It is shown that a large class of convex subsets of topological vector spaces shares this property and that is can be used in…
We propose a new discretization of the mirror-Langevin diffusion and give a crisp proof of its convergence. Our analysis uses relative convexity/smoothness and self-concordance, ideas which originated in convex optimization, together with a…
A local Tb Theorem provides a flexible framework for proving the boundedness of a Calder\'on-Zygmund operator T. One needs only boundedness of the operator T on systems of locally pseudo-accretive functions \{b_Q\}, indexed by cubes. We…
We prove a compactness criterion in $L^p({\mu},X)$: a subset of $L^p({\mu},X)$ is relatively norm compact iff the set of integrals of its functions over any measurable set is relatively norm compact, it satisfies the Fr\'echet oscillation…
We introduce a new covering property, defined in terms of order types of sequences of open sets, rather than in terms of cardinalities of families. The most general form of this compactness notion depends on two ordinal parameters. In the…
A compactness theorem is proved for a family of K\"{a}hler surfaces with constant scalar curvature and volume bounded from below, diameter bounded from above, Ricci curvature bounded and the signature bounded from below. Furthermore, a…
The structure of the nonperturbative vector meson vertex function complicates the proof of the factorisation theorem for the reaction $\gamma^*p\to Vp$. It leads to additional contributions but, in a simple model for the vertex function,…
Defect of compactness for non-compact imbeddings of Banach spaces can be expressed in the form of a profile decomposition. This paper extends the profile decomposition for Sobolev spaces proved by Solimini (AIHP 1995) to the non-reflexive…
Let (\Omega,\mu) be a finite measure space, X a Banach space, and let 1\le p<\infty. The aim of this paper is to give an elementary proof of the Diaz--Mayoral theorem that a subset V of L^p(\mu;X) is relatively compact if and only if it is…
We prove a T(1) Theorem to completely characterize compactness of Calderon-Zygmund operators. The result provides sufficient and necessary conditions for the compactness of singular integral operators acting on L^p(R).
We revisit homogenisation theory for Friedrichs systems. In particular, we show that $G$-compactness can be obtained under severely weaker assumptions than in the original work of Burazin and Vrdoljak (2014). In this way we extend the…
We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…
We study the compactness properties of metrics of prescribed fractional $Q$-curvature of order $3$ in $\R^3$. We will use an approach inspired from conformal geometry, seeing a metric on a subset of $\R^3$ as the restriction of a metric on…
This work is devoted to the variational derivation of a reduced model for brittle membranes in finite elasticity. The main mathematical tools we develop for our analysis are: (i) a new density result in $GSBV^{p}$ of functions satisfying a…
