We consider the Dirichlet problem for elliptic systems with periodically distributed inclusions whose conduction parameter exhibits a significant contrast compared to the background media. We develop a unified method to quantify the…
We provide a simple proof for the Fenchel duality between strong convexity and Lipschitz continuous gradient. To this end, we first establish equivalent conditions of convexity for a general function that may not be differentiable. By…
This paper proves an atomic decomposition of the space of $1$-dimensional metric currents without boundary, in which the atoms are specified by closed Lipschitz curves with uniform control on their Morrey norms. Our argument relies on a…
This work introduces a notion of approximate probabilistic trace equivalence for labelled Markov chains, and relates this new concept to the known notion of approximate probabilistic bisimulation. In particular this work shows that the…
We introduce a new formulation for differential equation describing dynamics of measures on an Euclidean space, that we call Measure Differential Equations with sources. They mix two different phenomena: on one side, a transport-type term,…
We generalize a bi-Lipschitz extension result of David and Semmes from Euclidean spaces to complete metric measure spaces with controlled geometry (Ahlfors regularity and supporting a Poincar\'e inequality). In particular, we find sharp…
We survey Vojta's higher-dimensional generalizations of the $abc$ conjecture and Szpiro's conjecture as well as recent developments that apply them to various problems in arithmetic dynamics. In particular, the "$abcd$ conjecture" implies a…
We show that the members of the Lipschitz-free space of $[-1,1]^n$ are exactly the 0-dimensional flat currents whose "boundary" vanishes. The connection with normal and flat currents allows to use the Federer-Fleming compactness and…
This work is concerned with the equation $ \partial_t \rho = \Delta_x \rho^m $, $ m > 1 $, known as the porous medium equation. It shows stability of the pressure of solutions close to flat travelling wave fronts in the homogeneous…
We use the theory of rectifiable metric spaces to define a Dirichlet energy of Lipschitz functions defined on the support of integral currents. This energy is obtained by integration of the square of the norm of the tangential derivative,…
The aim of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we discuss the notions of strong chain recurrence and strong chain transitivity for flows on metric spaces, together with their characterizations in terms of rigidity properties of…
A generalized transport theorem for convecting irregular domains is presented in the setting of Federer's geometric measure theory. A prototypical $r$-dimensional domain is viewed as a flat $r$-chain of finite mass in an open set of an…
We consider a unique continuation problem where the Dirichlet trace of the solution is known to have finite dimension. We prove Lipschitz stability of the unique continuation problem and design a finite element method that exploits the…
Penrose et al. investigated the physical incoherence of the spacetime with negative mass via the bending of light. Precise estimates of time-delay of null geodesics were needed and played a pivotal role in their proof. In this paper, we…
This paper proves comparison principles for elliptic PDE involving the Finsler infinity Laplacian, a second-order differential operator with discontinuities in the gradient variable arising in $L^{\infty}$-variational problems and…
The finitistic dimension conjecture is closely connected to the symmetry of the finitistic dimension. Recent work indicates that such connection extends to one of its upper bounds, the delooping level. In this paper, we show that the same…
We study the motion of charged liquid drop in three dimensions where the equations of motions are given by the Euler equations with free boundary with an electric field. This is a well-known problem in physics going back to the famous work…
In this paper we adopt a geometric point of view regarding a famous conjecture due to Littlewood in diophantine approximation of real numbers. Following the spirit of the geometric theory of continued fractions, we give a sufficient…
In Euclidean space of dimension 2 or 3, we study a minimum time problem associated with a system of real-analytic vector fields satisfying H\"ormander's bracket generating condition, where the target is a nonempty closed set. We show that,…
The paper deals with the interplay between boundedness, order and ring structures in function lattices on the line and related metric spaces. It is shown that the lattice of all Lipschitz functions on a normed space $E$ is isomorphic to its…
