Davydov, Moldavskaya, and Zitikis introduced local indices for quantifying the lack of convexity of a \(C^2\) function by measuring the nuclear-norm distance of its Hessian from the cone of positive semidefinite matrices. This paper…

We prove that functions that are homogeneous of degree $\alpha \in (0,\,1)$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and have nowhere vanishing Hessian determinant cannot change sign.

We give a complete proof of the generalized Khavinson conjecture which states that, for bounded harmonic functions on the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$, the sharp constants in the estimates for their radial derivatives and for their gradients…

Let $\psi_1,...,\psi_k$ be maps from Z to an additive abelian group with positive periods $n_1,...,n_k$ respectively. We show that the function $\psi=\psi_1+...+\psi_k$ is constant if $\psi(x)$ equals a constant for |S| consecutive integers…

In this paper we prove Holder regularity of the derivative of radial solutions to fully nonlinear equations when the operator is hessian, homogenous of degree 1 in the Hessian, homogenous of some degree $\alpha>-1$ in the gradient and which…

We established a fixed-point theorem for mapping satisfying a general contractive inequality of integral type depended an another function. This theorem substantially extend the theorem due to Branciari (2003) and Rhoades (2003)

We prove that the gradient of any bounded subharmonic function is upper semi-continuous, provided that its super-level sets can be touched from the exterior by uniform $C^{1,\text{Dini}}$ domains at every point. This idea extends to a class…

The purpose of this article is to prove a generalisation of the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem about a characterisation of rectifiable and unrectifiable sets in terms of their projections. For an $m$-unrectifiable set…

For a map that is strictly but not strongly convex, model-based gradient extremum seeking has an eigenvalue of zero at the extremum, i.e., it fails at exponential convergence. Interestingly, perturbation-based model-free extremum seeking…

As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…

In our previous paper on this topic, we introduced the notion of k-Hessian measure associated with a continuous k-convex function in a domain \Om in Euclidean n-space, k=1,...,n, and proved a weak continuity result with respect to local…

We consider a wide class of fully nonlinear integro-differential equations that degenerate when the gradient of the solution vanishes. By using compactness and perturbation arguments, we give a complete characterization of the regularity of…

We prove that there exists an absolute constant $\alpha >1$ with the following property: if $K$ is a convex body in ${\mathbb R}^n$ whose center of mass is at the origin, then a random subset $X\subset K$ of cardinality ${\rm…

We show that local deformations, near closed subsets, of solutions to open partial differential relations can be extended to global deformations, provided all but the highest derivatives stay constant along the subset. The applicability of…

We prove a single-value version of Reshetnyak's theorem. Namely, if a non-constant map $f \in W^{1,n}_{\text{loc}}(\Omega, \mathbb{R}^n)$ from a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfies the estimate $\lvert Df(x) \rvert^n \leq K…

In this paper, using the fixed point and direct methods, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of a Cauchy-Jensen additive functional equation in various normed spaces. The concept of Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability originated…

Starting from Sinclair's 1976 work {\it Automatic Continuity of Linear Operators}, Cambridge University Press, (1976), on automatic continuity of linear operators on Banach spaces, we prove that sequences of intertwining continuous linear…

We establish the following universality property in high dimensions: Let $X$ be a random vector with density in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The density function can be arbitrary. We show that there exists a fixed unit vector $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^n$…

We give a proof of Ilmanen's lemma, which asserts that between a locally semi-convex and a locally semi-concave function it is possible to find a C$^{1,1}$ function.

We prove stochastic stability of absolutely continuous invariant measures (ACIMs) for piecewise expanding $C^{1+\varepsilon}$ maps of the interval. For maps $\tau$ in the class $\mathcal{T}([0,1]; s, \varepsilon)$, we consider perturbed…
