We study approximation and localized polynomial frames on a bounded double hyperbolic or conic surface and the domain bounded by such a surface and hyperplanes. The main work follows the framework developed recently in \cite{X21} for…
We show that Steklov eigenfunctions in a bounded Lipschitz domain have wavelength dense nodal sets near the boundary, in contrast to what can happen deep inside the domain. As a converse, in a two-dimensional Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, we…

We consider the problem of numerically approximating the solutions to an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) for which the boundary conditions are lacking. To alleviate this missing information, we assume to be given measurement…

We introduce a novel method for bounding high-order multi-dimensional polynomials in finite element approximations. The method involves precomputing optimal piecewise-linear bounding boxes for polynomial basis functions, which can then be…
We aim to contribute to the folklore of function spaces on Lipschitz domains. We prove the boundedness of the trace operator for homogeneous Sobolev and Besov spaces on a special Lipschitz domain with sharp regularity. To achieve this, we…

Nonlinear approximation from regular piecewise polynomials (splines) of degree $<k$ supported on rings in $\R^2$ is studied. By definition a ring is a set in $\R^2$ obtained by subtracting a compact convex set with polygonal boundary from…
The manuscript is devoted to the boundary behavior of mappings with bounded and finite distortion. We consider mappings of domains of the Euclidean space that satisfy weighted Poletsky inequality. Assume that, the definition domain is…
A well-known result is that any Lipschitz domain is an extension domain for $W^{s,p}$. This paper extends this result to Lipschitz subsets of compact Lipschitz submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We adapt the construction of an extension…
We consider the initial boundary value problem for the inhomogeneous time-fractional diffusion equation with a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition and a nonsmooth right hand side data in a bounded convex polyhedral domain. We analyze…
Given a univariate polynomial, its abscissa is the maximum real part of its roots. The abscissa arises naturally when controlling linear differential equations. As a function of the polynomial coefficients, the abscissa is H{\"o}lder…
We propose to approximate a (possibly discontinuous) multivariate function f (x) on a compact set by the partial minimizer arg miny p(x, y) of an appropriate polynomial p whose construction can be cast in a univariate sum of squares (SOS)…
In the present work, we derive functional upper bounds for the potential error arising from finite-element boundary-element coupling formulations for a nonlinear Poisson-type transmission problem. The proposed a posteriori error estimates…
We prove convergence of piecewise polynomial collocation methods applied to periodic boundary value problems for functional differential equations with state-dependent delays. The state dependence of the delays leads to nonlinearities that…
This paper demonstrates that the space of piecewise smooth functions can be well approximated by the space of functions defined by a set of simple (non-linear) operations on smooth uniform splines. The examples include bivariate functions…
