The optimal mass transport problem gives a geometric framework for optimal allocation, and has recently gained significant interest in application areas such as signal processing, image processing, and computer vision. Even though it can be…

We study numerical integration of functions $f: \mathbb{R}^{s} \to \mathbb{R}$ with respect to a probability measure. By applying the corresponding inverse cumulative distribution function, the problem is transformed into integrating an…

We are concerned with the well-posedness of linear elliptic systems posed on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The concrete problem of interest, for which we require this theory, arises from the linearization of the equations of anisotropic finite…

The study of embedded minimal surfaces in $\RR^3$ is a classical problem, dating to the mid 1700's, and many people have made key contributions. We will survey a few recent advances, focusing on joint work with Tobias H. Colding of MIT and…

Let $K_f$ be a closed semi-algebraic set in $\dR^d$ such that there exist bounded real polynomials $h_1,{...},h_n$ on $K_f$. It is proved that the moment problem for $K_f$ is solvable provided it is for all sets $K_f\cap C_\lambda$, where…

In the point set embeddability problem, we are given a plane graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and a point set $S$ with $n$ points. Now the goal is to answer the question whether there exists a straight-line drawing of $G$ such that each vertex…

Let $N$ be a closed orientable connected $n$-manifold, $n\ge 4$. We classify embeddings of the punctured manifold $N_0$ into $\R^{2n-1}$ up to isotopy. Our result in some sense extends results of J.C. Becker -- H.H. Glover (1971) and O.…

The existence of an unbounded sequence of solutions to a conformally invariant elliptic equation having nonlocal critical-power nonlinearity is established. The primary obstacle to establishing existence of solutions is the failure of…

We consider the extremal problem of interpolation of scattered data in $\mathbb{R}^3$ by smooth curve networks with minimal $L_p$-norm of the second derivative for $1<p<\infty$. The problem for $p=2$ was set and solved by Nielson (1983).…

We study the black hole entropy as entanglement entropy and propose a resolution to the species puzzle. This resolution comes out naturally due to the fact that in the presence of $N$ species the universal gravitational cutoff is…

The Cauchy problem for a scalar conservation laws admits a unique entropy solution when the data $u_0$ is a bounded measurable function (Kruzhkov). The semi-group $(S_t)_{t\ge0}$ is contracting in the $L^1$-distance. For the…
