We study the wireless scheduling problem in the SINR model. More specifically, given a set of $n$ links, each a sender-receiver pair, we wish to partition (or \emph{schedule}) the links into the minimum number of slots, each satisfying…

We consider the equation $- \e^2 \D u + u= u^p$ in $\Omega \subseteq \R^N$, where $\Omega$ is open, smooth and bounded, and we prove concentration of solutions along $k$-dimensional minimal submanifolds of $\partial \O$, for $N \geq 3$ and…

We examine the affine Wigner distribution from a quantization perspective with an emphasis on the underlying group structure. One of our main results expresses the scalogram as (affine) convolution of affine Wigner distributions. We strive…

A way to measure the lower growth rate of $\varphi:\Omega\times [0,\infty) \to [0,\infty)$ is to require $t \mapsto \varphi(x,t)t^{-r}$ to be increasing in $(0,\infty)$. If this condition holds with $r=1$, then \[ \inf_{u\in f+W^{1,…

In this paper we study the sub-Finsler geometry as a time-optimal control problem. In particular, we consider non-smooth and non-strictly convex sub-Finsler structures associated with the Heisenberg, Grushin, and Martinet distributions.…

In this paper, we are concerned with solutions to the following nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with combined inhomogeneous nonlinearities, $$ -\Delta u + \lambda u= \mu |x|^{-b}|u|^{q-2} u + |x|^{-b}|u|^{p-2} u \quad \mbox{in} \,\, \R^N,…

In this paper we consider the optimal control of semilinear fractional PDEs with both spectral and integral fractional diffusion operators of order $2s$ with $s \in (0,1)$. We first prove the boundedness of solutions to both semilinear…

Study about theory and algorithms for constrained optimization usually assumes that the feasible region of the optimization problem is nonempty. However, there are many important practical optimization problems whose feasible regions are…

This contribution considers optimal control problems subject to nonlocal conservation laws -- those in which the velocity depends nonlocally (i.e., via a convolution) on the solution -- and the so-called singular limit. First, the existence…

It is shown that the Wegner model of disorder contains a system of constraints which is important whenever the disorder is not weak and which is responsible for localization in D > 2 dimensions. When the disorder is strong the constraints…

We study a class of semilinear diffusion equations on infinite, connected, weighted graphs, focusing on two types of nonlinearities: monotone decreasing and Lipschitz continuous. Under minimal structural assumptions on the graph, we…
