The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that the classical Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds, which is called the "sum…
We prove a compactness result with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence for a class of integral functionals which are expressed as a sum of a local and a non-local term. The main feature is that, under our hypotheses, the local part of the…
Based on an assumption on the Hessian of the Green function, we derive some monotonicity formulas on nonparabolic manifolds. This assumption is satisfied on manifolds that meet certain conditions including bounds on the sectional curvature…
We study the problem of invariance of indices of thematic factorizations. Such factorizations were introduced in [PY1] for studying superoptimal approximation by bounded analytic matrix functions. As shown in [PY1], the indices may depend…
Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$. We give conditions on the Fourier transform of its density for functionals of the form $H(a)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}h(\langle a,x\rangle)\mu^n(dx)$ to be Schur monotone. As applications, we…

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…
In this expository article, we discuss various monotonicity formulas for parabolic and elliptic operators and explain how the analysis of the function spaces and the geometry of the underlining spaces are intertwined. After briefly…
We derive monotone properties of positive harmonic functions on three dimensional manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature, with an asymptotically flat end. Rigidity characterization of spatial Schwarzschild manifolds with two ends is…

The paper is devoted to establishing relationships between global and local monotonicity, as well as their maximality versions, for single-valued and set-valued mappings between finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces. We first…

Combinatorial mixed valuations associated to translation-invariant valuations on polytopes are introduced. In contrast to the construction of mixed valuations via polarization, combinatorial mixed valuations reflect and often inherit…
